Poor Jennifer Hudson. Be nice, Andre!

Lucious is goofy on Ambien.

Oh, lord. Here comes Bunkie's Sith ghost. Lucious' deranged dream rant is very Shakespearean.

Why is Lucious allow to slept with Olivia but Hakeem isn't allow to slept with Anika? Where she actually left. I'm assuming that Olivia & Jamal were married.

Lucious told Cookie all his secrets.

Bruh, Cookie placing the pillow on Lucious's face would have been an epic cliffhanger.

IDK how I feel about the first hour. I was glued to the TV, but it felt like two weeks ago again, with just a BUNCH of sh!t happening without a moment's rest.

Lucious catches Ho Ho Kitty with his son and there's no confrontation? Lame

So what happened to Kelly Ripa? Did Andre really leave her ass?

Why is Lucious giving all his sons Nazi gold?

This is so OTT but I love it. I do think he's planning to [!@#$%^&*] them all, though.

BTG: February 2026 Discussion Thread

I enjoyed the episode a lot for a couple of different reasons. I won't spoil anything for those who haven't seen it

Thanks @soapfan770
I was probably watching Dear John around this time, although I barely remember the show.
That lesbian kiss stunt episode is so typical of the era and set up so many other similar stunts. They were lucky they didn't have to deal with any of the unhinged shipper types back then. Both actresses deserved better.

Yep. I gave a reply but it was not an actual answer.
And yes, since I don't know the answer, it might have been better for me to say nothing.

Ratings from the 1990s

Ratings from February 4-10 1991.
Dying Dallas was in the middle of the pack along with Knots.
Dark Shadows reboot was really struggling.
Twin Peaks was dead in the water. Apparently more people watched Dear John at 10:30 on a Saturday night. Dear John was of course like NBC’s first of many Thursday night 8:30/9:30 timeslot hits that failed to thrive on its own for the next decade.
Sons and Daughters, placed in Falcon Crest’s old timeslot, was a fun and lighthearted yet very soapy show giving off Northern Exposure and Picket Fences vibes had started off alright but quickly flamed out most likely due to the lousy timeslot behind an expiring Dallas.
@DRW50 Interestingly the L.A. Law episode aired this week was the infamous lesbian kiss. The L.A. Law special was a Jane Pauley hosting celebrating the show’s 100th episode…Idk if it’s available streaming but I do remember A&E including it in its rotation when they ran L.A. Law reruns in the early 00’s. The 100th episode wouldn’t actually air until March and of course is infamous itself for Rosalind’s death drop.

There’s also Nadine handing over the secret client bid to AM/Blake when AM blackmails her about tipping off the reporter. No one suspects Nadine since they can’t imagine her using the computer. (There’s several 1991/92 plots involving laptop technology that are amusing to watch now.)
I don’t think they ever tracked that bid getting out to Nadine but it was of course pretty low on her lie totem pole at that point. She was pretty susceptible to blackmail for a couple years there.

The show wasted Nadine so much in her last few years on the canvas. It still annoys me decades later. All for a story most viewers didn't seem to care about. I think people accepted Buzz over time, but I'm not sure he was ever a favorite for many.

OMG yes, the Acapulco episodes and the Country Club episode were epic. I rushed home from school for the Acapulco episodes.
Michael Zaslow should've gotten a Lead Actor nomination in 1991 for the Acapulco episodes. I believe the Acapulco episodes got Maureen Garrett a Supporting Actress nomination in 1991 but I haven't found anything online to verify.
One Roger/Holly scene I'm trying to find the date of is when Roger shows up at Holly's house, admits that he still loves her, then kisses her, and its all witnessed by Gilly. I think it was sometime in late 1991 or early 1992.

@alwaysAMC Where I started about a week before Rick Hearst’s debut in June 1990, there’s also several good Roger/Holly scenes when they’re in Mexico together after AM gets kidnapped on Blake/AM’s honeymoon. I partly started there because I’d just seen the RH/Sonia Satra Locher Room and Rick had talked about the experience of shooting with Zas on his first day and was curious.

The Nadine story of 1993 really started off in the first part of 1992 when she tipped off the tabloid reporter about Vanessa and her trial.. and once Billy caught wind of what she did, he basically was ready to divorce her. She than decided to try to get pregnant and realized she didn't have many chances left after going to the doctor and I recall she comes upon Bridget learning she's pregnant and fainting.. which kick started an effective story that plays out till spring/summer of 1993.
It involved Nadine/Bridget interacting in a consistent way.. tied together two separate stories (Nadine trying to keep Billy from leaving her for Vanessa and Bridget being pregnant due to hooking up with Roger's son Hart) and had characters interacting with one another that hadn't really interacted that much before. Nadine/Maureen had some awkward interactions with Nadine rightly calling out that she knew Mo didn't like her because of Vanessa...while Bridget interacted some with the Lewis family more.
It really is a shame that Nadine becomes isolated in the 2nd half of 1993 aside from an occasional interaction with Holly at the diner where Holly listened to Nadine talk about Buzz/Jenna while Nadine gave her two cents to Holly about Eve.
The other example of two unrelated stories kind of interacting was the Eve story and also the whole Holly/Ed/Roger situation.... with Mindy giving Holly the 411 on her experiences with Eve while it looked as though Eve was going crazy again stalking Holly only for it to be a wounded Roger hiding in Holly's basement.
Those type of interactions became less and less frequent as the 90s wore on.
