I don't think I remember why Zack knew about the Emma thing anyway... Wow--completely forgotten

I agree there actually on all accounts, from D/S, to B/E to Pratt's first few weeks. With B/E they seemed to have some good story ideas (and I largely liked the Jesse/Angie stuff) but besides the whole CRASH Greenlee story nothing ever really got focused on or developped--so many scenes seemed to just repeat over and over.

Babe needs a restraining order against Josh. She's told him over and over again to leave her alone. If I had a guy like Josh going after me when I was with someone else and didn't want to sleep with this guy again. I would file for a 500 feet away restraining order and buy a gun.

No kidding. AMC seemed to be sending the message that it's not really stalking if the guy is hot. It annoyed the hell out of me that Jeff seemed to be encouraging Josh too. I get why Josh wouldn't listen to anything Erica said - he knew she hated Babe, so that automatically colored anything she said to him about her - but Jeff should have been there saying, "You know, you tried, and she keeps telling you no. Now is the time to back off and let her know that you'll be there for her if she changes her mind." Instead, he ends up helping Josh kidnap Babe to "protect" her.

I'm putting this here as it's only a few months before the Soapnet repeats started.

This has the Adam/Colby scene about sex which Michael Logan named as one of the worst of 2006. I don't know why. It's a good character study, and better material for Adam than a lot of what he had in his last decade.

I like JR/Erin here. I wonder if the show was testing them.

^ The scenes in Confusion with JR playing a CD of Greg-in-a-box saying that Josh was Erica's son have been posted to YouTube as well. As craptastic as I thought the whole unabortion fetus storyline was, there were some good parts in that episode - Kendall trying to get Josh out of there and later convincing Josh to talk to Erica at least for a minute, Jack's face twisted in pain as he watched Erica listen to Greg spilling the truth and saying that Erica was unworthy of motherhood, Josh remembering the suspicious things Erica had said to him that finally made sense, and Erica's long walk to Josh.

Did Josh and Simone ever have any interaction before she was murdered? Simone was such a fun character, and I think she could have been really interesting with Josh. I just wish Josh had been given something to do other than pant after Babe.

What did everyone think about the Valentine's Day episode in 07? I just saw it on SN for the first time and I'm about to cry. That scene at the end at Wildwind where everyone released the balloons with the hearts up to Heaven. So depressing. Loved it though.

AMC did a podcast or two about that episode. You can find them on YouTube. One is a behind the scenes look at the making of that balloon release scene on location at the house that served as Wildwind's exterior, and the other is a tour of the inside of the actual house. Apparently the balloon release was a big PITA because releasing the balloons = littering, so they had to tie fishing line or something like that to each balloon so they could let them go and then reel them back in, and all of the actors stood around shivering in the cold, waiting for the crew to figure out how much fishing line was needed per balloon or something like that. I remember watching it and thinking "Yeah, that acting thing - so no glamorous."

I haven't gotten to the Valentine's day episode yet...now that there are two episodes each morning, I am starting to get more and more behind due to school...I have 12 episodes to watch. LOL

The Dixie death episode seemed more gripping to watch than before, I loved all of the flashbacks.

Also i found Father Clarence highly annoying showing up again. What a liar. I remember him telling Dixie during Christmas that her and Tad's journey was "far from over". 4 weeks later she dies. WTF?!

Kelli Giddish/Di was AMAZING through this. I also loved the Di/Krystal scenes...it was nice to see the show remembering their relationship as old friends & jailmates.

Josh really was obsessed with Babe and I find it more and more disturbing. Someone says "Dixie is dead" and Josh replies "That could have been Babe!" I know he had no attachment to Dixie, but damn! Every other word out of his mouth was BABE.

    • There are so many beats that could be played with relationships and history b/w  characters. But cast/set restrictions (and loust writing) are destroying that. Really liked seeing Jack and Nikki catch up. Trouble is, in the current version of Y&R it had to continue the entire episode. Hearing Lily talk on the phone to Maddie-how much better if we had actually seen the kids during Cane's return. Would the original actors return for a short stint? Maybe not and perhaps they don't feel a recast would work. All of this could have been avoided by letting BF be a new character. For the amount of difference it's made , there was really no need to bring back Cane.
    • Zeman said Marland created Barbara Jean Spencer, they called her Barbara until she and Monty decided Bobbie would be better as a nickname. It was almost Barbie IIRC, and they didn’t think that was right. She also has said on more than one occasion that she came in during the transition and Monty didn’t hire her, but ended up liking her. So Scotty and his friend must have been talking about her. This episode was fascinating. I am so happy it was shared. I can absolutely see why the show was in trouble. It’s lifeless and old fashioned as far as dialogue and some of the staging. Monty herself said she threw those episodes out, so that makes me think they were even worse. Which really made sense to me watching this because I only saw a glimpse of Monty in the less static scene with Rick moving all around while talking to David and the same type of staging with Scotty, Laura, and his friend’s name I cannot remember right now. That long ass scene through Monica’s eyes was very old fashioned as far as style. I can also see why the ratings started rising relatively quickly. Most of the earliest Monty shows I have seen are a few months later, and the show is very different. It moves, the characters are more intense, the staging has movement, and it feels more modern for the time. By the time you get to 1979 it’s really rocking and I totally get it in a way I didn’t before just from seeing this. Genie was so young to play that story with creepy Hamilton. And Kin sure was cute as nice guy Scotty.
    • Kate previously shadow directed or directed some scenes? on Days before GH, so it's been a passion of hers for a bit.
    • Who is monitoring her spending? Maybe the upshot is that Leslie is spending way beyond her means and she'll end up broke again. The house will be repossessed etc, Part of her comeuppance.
    • Kimberly McCullough shadowed at GH and completed an ABC directing program, but I don’t believe she was ever credited as director or given an episode of her own to do. One of the reasons why she got work so quickly was because she had multi-cam knowledge from years on soaps.
    • Do not apologize for this. I was thinking just today it's bringing me fond memories of when I was a teen of Angie and Jessie. Jenny and Greg, Philip and Beth. And although they were teens, Steve and Betsy.  I like a good teen story. 
    • Yeah Suzanne mentions Y&R here  (no spoilers in the article) https://www.tvinsider.com/1227485/days-of-our-lives-suzanne-rogers-anniversary-maggie-storylines-mickey-victor/
    • I wonder if she may be transitioning to behind the scenes.  How many GH actors have also directed while acting on the show?  
    • Despite my wish that Ric get revenge on Alexis and the gang, I really enjoyed their scenes today. RH and NLG have honestly never lost their chemistry with one another. Seems like Carly genuinely let herself give into Brennan today and regret it. Also just cause I smoked earlier it, it randomly hit me for the first time in over a decade. They had Michael murder Claudia played by the actress that played all of the most important early Michael stories. Kinda twisted lol
