I liked the episode overall, it was very emotional. My heart was aching for the Quartermaines. I understand they can't do anything at this point about Alan (and Edward and Lila) being gone but I would love for them to undo at least one of the younger Quartermaine deaths and have it stick. So angry AJ is dead...again. I guess they technically traded him for Jason but dear god, that is no trade I want any part of! He's not even on screen so what's the point? I loved that Emily referred to Michael and Danny as Quartermaines, I sure as hell hope the show treats them that way. I just don't appreciate the fact that there's an entire generation of Quartermaines missing. Why not bring on a recast Dillon?

The scenes with Sonny and the three Carlys were wonderful. Maurice has such an intense chemistry with both Sarah and Tamara and both had such iconic portrayals of the character. I agree with those who say Maurice and Laura have no romantic chemistry. If Laura ever leaves and the show is still around, I hope they bring back Sarah or Tamara because damn.

Felt very strange to not have Anna, Duke, Tracy and Luke on. But I supposed with FauxLuke, what were their options? The show would've started with him doing a line of cocaine out of Kiki's ass: "Happy 51st, GH!" laugh.png

The three Carly's certainly poiinted out how LW lacks sexual chemistry with Mo. Im not even a fan of CarSon and saw it melting from the screen btween Mo and TB and Mo & Sjb always managed to sell it. (It kind of fell flat to me on their scenes today, though)

I love sjb but she isnt aging too well. A pity cuz shes a kick ass actress. And i usually keep myself from saying things about actresses' look becuz its hard in this business for any women past 30 but i found it distracting.

The episode as a whole wasnt that bad but not good either. A few things work (having felicia, mac, kevin, monica, scotty, bobbie all in one show) but others were just bad (Carson was the only one deem worthy of a flashback?)

The hair and whatever additional work she's had done in the last year or two were the problem with Sarah. But the lighting didn't help, thanks Frank. I'd still have her back above all. I don't care if she looks a little like a kabuki actor.

The show was just so tonally off, IMO. It would be one thing to do this special Carly thing any other day, or perhaps with different material - each Carly should have not only drawn on their past together but also challenged him about the present, emphasized that what he had done to A.J. was wrong, fought him on it while invoking that past history. Sarah sure could have, and they had past material to draw on for that. (You could've even shown her dragging drunk A.J. around in 1997 and talking about her regrets.) Same with Tamara. But instead it was less about the current, very serious circumstances and more about memory lane, and that was just so inappropriate. It was celebrating Sonny and Carly while simultaneously killing A.J. and trying to turn it into a happy anniversary event. That was awful. The trappings - the ghostly hospital with pictures, the Carlys - nice idea, horrible script and story.


This is why I miss TOLN.

I really wish I cared who had the best chem with Mo/Scummy (it's TB, BTW). I don't appreciate all of this for that little whiney dirty greaseball! Carly works so much better away from Scummy! SJB looks a bit rough but the hair looks good.

Too bad they passed on the scenes of Scummy calling her a whore and tossing her out.

Yes, good luck with that. If you have any further GIFs of other people or fictional television shows to send to me with which to represent yourself, please send them to my inbox and stop derailing the thread.

I'm confuzzled.

So far under Crappy, Scummy has threatened to kill Carly because of Olivia (plot point, of course) was sexing up Olivia while Carly was MIA and went to see Carly at the hospital OFFSCREEN after she was rescued. So I have to ask, what were the scenes about today? What was I supposed to get from that?

Seriously, somone please help me out here.

Oh, and if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed today, feel free to pass - coughVeecough... lol

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
