There was always a sense of nostalgia from some fans when the show moved away from the Clint/Viki era (and of course some were happy for that shift and that now Viki would no longer be "weak" - goodness knows the Viki of later years was certainly a tower of strength...), and then the whole mess with taking Jessica's parentage, which was a pure storyline, and makng it about Mitch raping Viki on her living room sofa. I took this as a little bit of lip service to the past, and what some fans missed.

As silly as some of the Western thing was I loved the moments at the end, with family, and warmth - that's something which we would never really see again with the Buchanans

I know what you mean....especially when Asa was killed off, and then Phil Carey's death. It just really changed the entire family dynamic and they never had anymore of those warm moments like that.

And the Fan February episode wasn't Clint Ritchie's only appearance during that month in 2003. Also that month (can't remember if it was before or after that special episode) he had his first scene with Melissa Archer not long after Natalie was revealed to be Viki and Clint's biological daughter.

Opal stops off in Llanview where she runs into (of all people) David Vickers.

Isn't that January Lavoy (AKA Noelle on OLTL) playing Babe's nurse on tonight's episode?

For some reason...Soaps after dark seem slightly more awesome than in the daytime. That's what ABC should have done. Switched the soaps to the night to get more viewers. There's alot of nightowls.

I don't have SOAPnet, but is it a 2007 episode of AMC?

According to IMDb.com, LaVoy played "Nurse Wendy" in about a half-dozen AMC episodes that year.

I thought BMH was OK. The writing for the character was weak and made Joey into a patsy.

I think Vee and I are the two sole members of that club.

You certainly are To be fair, Joey as a priest came out of nowhere--and then to have most of his storylines involving falling in love with sluts or glorified street girls did him no favours. But I think he has the screen presence of a fly--he always looked uncomfortable, could barely handle decent line delivery, and (this is less BMH's fault) his whole "look" as a sorta surfer airhead was the worst fit of any of the Joey's to play a priest.

I actually remember both those Clint appearances--including the brief one to welcome Natalie to the family.

Weareclouds I almost always have done my main soap watching at night, unless I happen to be home in the day and flip to see what's on the ones I don't watch regularly. For some reason it always seems like a good way to unwind right before bed. I've mentioned on here how there was an article when The City was on and several ABC stations ended up airing it at 12:05am or whatever and it was actually getting stronger ratings in those markets... LOL (OK The City is probably not a good example, but)

Mercifully they didn't show much - them kissing and the two of them tearing at his tie and ripping open his shirt (no aging man flesh was shown) before he carried her into the bedroom. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/9FCTkuAno8o" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> It's toward the end of this episode. Sadly, I think this was the "best" kiss Erica and Jeff had in his whole 2006-2007 run.

Yeah, that's as awkward as I remember it. Haha. There was less chemistry there than she had with Chris Stamp...and that's saying a lot.

It must not have been all that good because she broke it off with him a few weeks later and wanted to work things out with Jack.

Megan had a very clear agenda, "if I make this family happy, Erica/Jeff/Josh, people will leave me alone. Who can resist a happy family?" Unfortuanately for her, they had no chemistry and we're not stupid, Erica never really wanted Jeff the first time around anyway, so why would she all of the sudden want to play house with him and their unabortion? Ugh. I still want to cut someone for all of that.

Yep. It's her. Thanks.

I'm not sure I even agree--if that was her initial idea (and I suppose it made sense to bring on another Martin, and Josh's dad to boot, to shake up her and Jack) she dropped it almost as soon as he appeared on and seemed to make no real effort to ever make it look like Erica would end up with Jeff.

Nash and Jess sat the room on fire on OLTL tonight!

They are SMOKIN!

Puns intended.

Poor Krystal. She continued to get crap even till the very end but I felt she paid for what she did with Miranda when Kendall and company kidnapped her daughter and told her she was dead. That was pretty cruel and I felt if going to jail didnt do the trick, that definetly made her "even"

Eh, it was hard to feel sorry for Krystal. Yeah, they let her think her daughter was dead, but it wasn't for almost a year like it was for Bianca and Miranda. Plus Kyrstal watched Tad grieve for Kate and then for Dixie, but she refused to tell him that he was the father of her daughter because she preferred to be a Chandler.

The length of time doesnt matter. Her pain was still real. When she was told Babe was dead, she felt what it was like to be a mother and have your child killed. Her pain at the funeral and all those emotions were real. It didnt last almost a year, but that doesnt take away that she had to experience the same trauma

IDK what the agenda was, but on screen to me, it came across as 'Erica is bored and doesn't have enough attention from Jack, and Jeff is willing to dote on her for some inane reason.' When she moved into the Valley Inn, Erica had a scene with Jeff in which she laid out all of her reasons for moving out, and I felt like I understand her motivation for doing what she was doing, but I never really got Jeff's motivation. Half the time he was married to Erica in the early 1970s, he wanted to be with Mary Kennicott. She ended a pregnancy he wanted, she ditched him to be a model in NYC, and then she inadvertently got him arrested and put on trial for murdering her ex-lover/boss, a crime he didn't commit. It wasn't exactly a match made in heaven. Then 30+ years later, it's revealed they have a child together, and he's suddenly madly in love with her?

As for them playing house, Jeff and Erica were both building a relationship with Josh, but they weren't doing it together - Jeff was bonding with Josh by encouraging him to keep going after Babe and by helping Josh keep Babe alive and safe from the Satin Slayer, and Erica was making an attempt to parent him the way she did her daughters, but they sure weren't parenting as a couple.

It was such a relief when Erica finally ditched Jeff, and Jeff left town.

Im confused. Didnt the Satin Slayer story start in end of 2006? Dixie died in January of 2007. I just watched this episode on YT and they have it credited as 12-13-07, but that cant be right? Anyone know the actual airdate as that seems way off

Also when did the Annie vs Erica verbal smackdown happen? I want to watch it
