I agree.

[R Sinclair]

Well said!

[R Sinclair]

But really, it seems like we can't win for losing. We bitch about the show being sucky, we get scolded for complaining. We praise Kelly/Sam for a scene we found fun and enjoyable, we get scolded for praising bad writing.

+1.

I don't know what happened after she was presumed dead, and then when she turned up alive. I guess they never acknowledged the status of their marriage after that.

[R Sinclair]

When Rick came back to Port Charles in 2002 for the Luke and Laura wedding that never happened, Lesley talked to him. She said that she was angry. She had come back and everything they had was no more. She did, however, understand that he made the only choice he could at the time which was to move on and she just wanted the chance to express herself so she could move on as well.

[MissLlanviewPA]

And now I know. Thank you.

[R Sinclair]

My pleasure.

Which part?

[jfung79]

That's because it seems contradictory to be attacking things for supposedly not making sense or being rushed, and then praise the most rushed thing of all, that also does little to nothing to advance Sam's character or the plot.

The number was great dancing, and it was entertaining, but it was clearly about "Kelly and DWTS" guy, because the setup for it as Sam made no sense. There's no reason the show had to act like Sam was called in at the last minute. He could have told her even at the beginning of the show his partner had dropped out and it would have made more sense than it did. In contrast, the other numbers and the rest of the episode not only made more sense but also showed something about the characters or advanced story.

If people weren't picking on other things while praising being taken completely out of the fiction in that scene, I probably wouldn't have brought it up. Because yes, I do love the show right now and yes I do think the perfect is not the enemy of the good. But I felt picking on other things while praising that was a contradiction.

Sorry, I'm not telling anyone how to feel or not to post their opinions or analyses. I don't just want to see uniformly positive comments. I'm not calling anyone "deaf" as R Sinclair you wrote about me (LOL). I'm just pointing out what I see as a contradiction and wanting to be clear about my opinion of the strengths and the weaknesses of yesterday's episode and the show.

[dragonflies]

jfung I agree what you said, most bash cause it's the names Ron and Frank, heck there are people who don't even watch that bash non stop lol

I think it's Richard Simmons at the end, he so wanted revenge lol. They're doing to Sam what they did to Liz for so long they don't know what to do with her. Sam is too much identified with Jason. She's actually a better character away from him.

[jfung79]

Haha, Richard Simmons back for revenge, that would be a WTF moment!

[dragonflies]

LOL he said he's in two episodes, and has only done 1 so far, but that's just a guess on my part

I do love that a woman over 40 is in a love triangle. If Frons & co saw that they'd jump off the nearest building lol

[Ryan Chamberlain]

They'd jump off the highest building in Port Charles. The ELQ building. Poor Tracy would have a mess to clean up.
