Matt Cowles slipped right into Billy Clyde's Tuggle's Three-Piece Suits as if they were a old well-worn glove. Wow! So much of the character came rushing back the moment he tipped his hat and smirked at his combative employee. Wow! I never thoughts I would see BCT again, but you can bet that I am not dissapointed to see him back.

I love the new nuance of JR and Cara being connected. His former step-momma told him a secret. Let's see if he could keep it. Maybe he will use the information as leverage to keep David away from CE, and potentially bitiing into Chandler Industry's market share? Maybe he will use this information to redeem himself, even slightly in the world of business, in the hopes of winning back some effection from his ever disapproving father and even more despondent son?

David and Bianca were great, but the scenes were too short. I guess it is the symptom of the 1/2 hour show. The scenes is never long-enough to allow scenes build the right emotional momentum. I guess they need to stop trying to squeeze so many scenes cut overs. That David/Bianca scenes could have been stuff of legend, a real confrontation... it just never got there.

Still need more from Dixie and Brooke. I need to know more about their characters. They cannot just be hanging out at Chandler and the Hospital all the time. Let them unwind on a date. Show them in more romantic situations. I love their friendship, just give me more.

I can't get this damn theme song out of my head..

Speaking of songs, in honor of Cassandra and BCT's return:

The editing was really off. Did anyone else notice the changes in Pete's wound on his face. While meeting with the auditor there was no injury, then it went to the small scrape and by the time he was the limo driver it was big and round. Somebody is not paying attention to detail.

JR not remembering stuff like him making Chandler go bankrupt is HIGHLY annoying!

Just typical JR.

I hope they were just moved to Monday's episode. How could they cut her debut scenes? What a mess if she's just on next week and w/no real entrance.

All of this is true. Maybe lack of time?

I think it was a hint that Dixie became a therapist during the past 5 years. Maybe she was studying in JR's room every day.

For me Eden Riegel ruled this episode! Bianca seemed so conflicted about JR waking up and I completely understand why she wouldn't want Miranda anywhere near the Chandlers or trust David. I'm hoping she and David join forces against JR in the near future!

Up to this point, I thought JR might not have been able to remember what happened that night, but now that it looks like he might blackmail Cara, I suspect he's faking the retrograde amnesia.

Overall, I really loved this episode. There was a great mix of characters today and we even got Brooke & Dixie having a conversation without the kids around. David getting involved with Cortlandt Electronics has me intrigued, Pete & Celia were good, I was relieved we didn't have to see much of Cassandra's porno debut and I can't wait to see Billy Clyde take on the Russians!

I am watching Soap Net and the Caleb/Erica/JR/Asher Courtland Electronics storyline is going on right now. The Ryan/Greenlee on the run storyline/Greenlee verdict has come in and Jack is going crazy. I think this was around Thanksgiving 2010 timeframe.

So the 5 year jump only applies to the children of Pine Valley and not the adults or the flow of the storylines leading up to the ABC cancellation announcement???? Soap Net will run the show up to the September 2011 finale, I am guessing here.

The Russian mobsters mentioned BCT in a general way as one of the Center City "old school pimps" they're trying to muscle out. So he'll have a selfish interest to help Jesse and Zach, assuming Zach also makes it worth his financial while!

Annoyingly, the closing credits are reduced to show the next upcoming program on my Hulu queue, so I couldn't tell where MC was listed!

I did notice closing credits going in a window within a window thing and so small too.

Ah, the meticilous one! Attention to detail editors, please.

Thanks I just got reminded of OLTL's Babes Behind Bars....

Someone on the iTunes review said "I don't like the 1/2 hour format because it make me wanting more. I hope they consider making it one hour again" I disagree because that is what a soap is supposed to do!!! It is supposed to keep you wanting more otherwise there would be no point in tuning in. The 60 minute format was too long plus it was really hard to keep up with.

Good episode today... so this is Billy Clyde Tuggle... should be interesting to view!

David's "reinvention" scenes today were spoiled for yesterday, so I suspect we'll see Colby's debut scenes on Monday. Nobody trusts David, but I'm sure he'll find a way to make Pete and Bianca indebted to him! I'm also sure JR will blackmail Cara into at least a faux affair to hurt David, but I think all he'll do is reignite D/C's feelings for one another!

I was thinking more along the lines of blackmail her into falsifying the results of his amnesia test which will make her realize JR really was there to hurt Marissa that night and then she forgives David and goes running back to him.

Billy my sweets how I missed you!

Liked David and Bianca.

Opal will have filt when she finds out David invested in CE.

I want that lady to bless my Powerball ticket!

If JR just goes back to his old self, the character can't last. Hopefully he wants to help her to keep the kid from David.

Billy Clyde is back! He looks like every 70's pimp in the world

That works for me!
