While not one of my favorite characters, Felix can be tolerable when used with the right characters. His friendship with Carly makes for great scenes. With Lucy, I like them, too. Send Sabrina away and utilize him as a B or C level character like an Amy Vining. Using him as a supporting character works for him. Side-eyeing [sanctimonious-ass] Robin is uncalled for, as she did not purposely hurt his friend. These scenes make him look like a jackass. He needs to evolve and grow up a little bit before I would pir him with anyone.

Lucas hasn't even gotten here yet, so before he gets thrown into anything, Cartini need to [and I know how hard this will be] watch the writing for Hogestyn's Lucas when Tony died and go from there. The character was well conceived, and hopefully won't be ruined. but we know what will happen there as Carnes will probably enter the scene on the phone with Bobbi while in bed with three other guys in tight black boxers!

Paraphrasing a bit: Lucy said something about her face looking so great and asked Bobbie if she was using a new moisturizer or did a new treatment or if the cool winds of Seattle? Chicago? were freshening her up.

And I think JZ looks good right now. But her hair should be shorter.

I really enjoy Bobbie envolvement. She just fits right in. Lets hope Jackie is not done taping. She taped quite a bit for January, i guess we will see her for 5 more episodes this month. ))

I've been enjoying Bobbie as well but does anyone know when Jackie Zeman became such a hammy actress? I always hear about how great she was, but I just don't see it though I do find her entertaining.

She was never great, but now, JZ is just awful. Pull up any random scene from 1980 to present and you'll see for yourself. JZ played a good vixen back in the day but never anything award worthy. The butchered face certainly hurts the little talent she has.

LMAO! Julian's caution sure did last only TWO episodes. As soon as the plot called for it, Mr. Big Boss Mobster answers the door in a way that allows him to be easily overpowered/killed. Nice.

Is there a reason why Carly can’t just remove the gag? Wait, don’t answer that. And Heather pulls out that damned knife again and raises it as if to kill Carly. Bitch, who you kidding?

WHAT?!! Franco has a FRAMED picture of him and Carly naked in bed? The [!@#$%^&*]?

I love how Carlos uses an accent for different words (and then speaks the occasional Spanish) but, when he pronounced Puerto Rico, he said it like an American. HA! You’d think all those r’s in there would be a field day for him. BUT… I am not going to lie… when he told Sabrina he loved her so much he was willing to raise her baby as his own, it got me. It got me.

Why did they throw away Robin finding out about Sabrina's pregnancy? That should have been a whole cliffhanger and subsequent episode of reaction by itself. But, no, instead Patrick tells her how great Sabrina is for sacrificing herself. How one-sided can the writing be?

Carlos's devotion to that saccharine princess did touch me a bit, I'll admit. The actor is so over the top - we're talking the knob being stuck on "Gospel Play" - but he sells it. He's consistently entertaining, whether he is good, bad or ridiculous.

The Franco/Carly sex selfie - framed in the room - is so disgusting and such a bizarre, insane touch that I can't imagine who thought of it. Are they trying to sabotage the pairing?

3 Ding a Lings didn't see Heather! UGH!

These two looked like they were about 5 seconds from making out today. It was the only interesting part of their scenes.

I think its time Franco, Silas & Kiki Left

Maybe ABC should just get AMC and OLTL back and then bring Todd, John & Starr back to Llanview

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
