[cassadine1991]

wow... that's from 2001-2005..

[greens_dupres]

But that's like 50% of the sets! Where will they go?!?

Just kidding I get it- I think more family stuff will help Dani & Matthew. People seemed to like the phone call thing today & the nail salon scene with Todd. Hopefully now that they've established the roommate situation, they'll branch out a bit.

[Honey]

Meaning?

I know, right? Is she still in prison for killing Spencer Truman?

[Winchester91]

That was a good group, too. Tomlin's era was a nice one to be a younger viewer, especially coming off the heels of the atrocious Will/Jess/Cris/Roseanne nonsense.

At this point, I'm itching for a SORAS'd Bree, a back-from-the-dead Hope, Ryder, and Liam to start taking center stage.

....but I'm getting ahead of myself.

[cassadine1991]

seems like forever ago..

you mean the JFP years..

I think we'll have to wait several more years for SORASed Bree, Ryder, Liam, Drew

[Winchester91]

Dang, way to make me feel old. =]

[cassadine1991]

I do remember someone said ALL the Stateville escapees were all rounded up.. Would've loved if Lindsay managed to get away

[Honey]

SORASed Bree could be interesting. Gals with crazy mamas make for good soap characters. As long as they don't go the obvious DID route with her.

[cassadine1991]

sorry... the teen scenes on soaps when I was a teen all sucked, well some were at least tolerable

[greens_dupres]

Oh this was a good younger set- I had forgotten that they all were in college together at one point right? It was a big improvement on Jess/Cris/Will/Roseanne before it. Wasn't a huge fan of Jen/Riley/Rex/Shannon and the less said about the Starr crossed lovers & co the better.

I really like this current group so the overexposure isn't bothering me like some but this week was objectively better right? No Dani/no apartment on Tuesday, Jeffrey with Viki and today the other 2 were just kind of background to Matthew/Nora. PP is bleeding its money's worth out of Rob Gorrie though.

[Winchester91]

Not as bad as the last 16 years of AMC...the only bright spot was Amanda Seyfried.

[greens_dupres]

Not old, I remember all of that. And original Cristian.

And yes way ahead of yourself. Melissa Archer is way too hot to be a put-upon mother of a brooding McBain Jr.

[Winchester91]

I'd rather they do the Amanda Dillon thing and just have her as the normal girl dealing with her mother's mental illness. However, this chick had no stable father figure in her life. Nash died, Brody went nuts, and Bobby was a Weenie Dog.

[Vee]

Oh, that crap was [!@#$%^&*]. So was Tomlin's crew. It was all so forced and Jessica Morris was terrible and the writing was terrible. The only bright spots were an actor here or there, like Melissa Archer or Jay Wilkison or at the time, Rex, when people liked him. But the stories and focus were awful year after year.

This youth set is the best I've seen on the show since the '90s.

[Honey]

Yes, they were in college together. I loved them. I'm still in mourning over Al Holden. His death was the beginning of the end for Max and Gabrielle's characters too. Damn you [whoever was in charge at the time].

This current group is fine, I'm just over them hanging out together in their apartment doing nothing. So I fast-forward them alot.
