No matter what happens with Eric signing or not signing the papers, Rick WILL pick CEO of Forrester over anything. Missy Moo just doesn't see that.

While I know Katie probably shouldn't go back to Bill, I can't help myself-I do like them as a couple. They make quite a striking one,

I had no idea KM had such a beautiful voice! I'm so glad that B&B decided to give her a hot story by turning the character around from mousy victim to fierce golddigger! No secret that story has brought me back to regular viewing. And gotta give B&B credit for presenting a unique episode featuring the shelter. I know they've done things like tht before, but this is the first time I've actually watched one. It's a nice touch for a show that's based on the superficial.

ITA...these episodes that Bell does around the shelters, homeless people, bring something that no other show takes the time to do. Kudos to the staff at this shelter and all that they do for the people who need it, and it's nice to see someone giving them the credit they truly deserve for all the work they do.

Did they really need to use Othello, though? I'd much rather have seen $Bill and Liam and Wyatt chipping in then that guy!

KM is knocking it out of the park, and JY is really starting to impress me now. It's nice to be out of Hope's va jay jay for a change...

I also got choked up a couple of times and almost turned the channel because I really don't need any more sadness this time of year. But I'm glad I stuck with it. I was very proud of that episode as a soap fan.

It's not that Magnesia has a bad voice or anything, but I surely rolled the hell out of my eyes when she started singing. And especially when they had the kids swarm her at the end like she was Beyonce. :lol: But those kids were killing me during those interviews. :(

And agreed, where did they find this Othello person and can they please send him back...

Honestly, for those kids, someone like KM might as well be Beyonce. The fact that TV stars not only show up to the shelter, but spent time with them and listening to their stories is beyond their wildest dreams. I thought it was very raw and sobering watching these 'stars' we see daily in glamorous settings, interacting and letting the spotlight shine on these people who have fallen on hard times, but are trying to pull their lives together. What B&B does with the shelter episodes outclasses every PSA I've ever seen because we actually her human stories - which is really the foundation of soaps.

I enjoyed the episode. I loved the interviews. Especially KM felt very natural and compassionate in her interviews.The picture of a baby in the homeless shelter really got to me :( Reminds me once again that I'm blessed to be surrounded with family and friends, to be able to go to uni, have a job and a bf, etc.

Merry Christmas everyone!

    •  Thanks! For some reason I had misremembered ER and Chicago Hope going directly head to head but that may have been because of the hype about both shows.    Poor Connie Chung. She seem poised for success and possibly the next Barbara Walters. I don’t recall her co-anchor gig on the CBS Evening News was well received though. She kind of tanked her career moving into more a tabloid journalist role once at ABC and especially once she moved off network TV to CNN and later more infamously on MSNBC.

    • Strangely, it was Phillip who invited Evie to go to the ball with him. She had been taking care of Samantha, so I guess it was a way to thank her for helping Justin after Jackie's death? So she was not invited by Vanessa. Phillip brought her as his plus one. That Evie stayed on the canvas so long is extremely odd, especially since Ben was gone way before her. My theory is Marland was going to bring Rita back, so they wanted Evie to remain in place as her sounding board. When he left and Potter was still EP, that might have still been the plan. Once Kobe came in, that would have been thrown in the dumpster along with a lot of other story plans and characters.
    • Nina and Portia are generally presented as entirely too savvy to not think this ketamine (don't even GET me started on that) nonsense wouldn't immediately blow up in their face. Drew, the ex-navy seal and congressman, wouldn't get a drug test immediately after acting wildly out of character? Portia allowed this to so easily be traced back to her by roping in Brad, a man who can't stand her? Nina didn't think Willow would Stand By Her Man? Girl, PAY ATTENTION! I also find it disturbing how BOTH of them are gaslighting Willow. It feels gross. They should have presented Gio as anything other than a responsible, genial and affable guy if they wanted us to buy any of Dante's ranting about him. You've known this kid since he was a baby and suddenly you're yelling at him like he's the devil incarnate? It was so forced. Every one of them, including Dante, know that they all would have done the same thing in Gio's shoes. Teen gets drunk, friends cover for them. Gio's only 5 years older than him, barely allowed to legally drink himself. How was he to know the kid had alcohol poisoning? Alexa Havins crying every day over keeping a baby secret. Ahh memories. Molly and Kristina are just the worst to their mom and Alexis allows it. Kristina does need to be committed, she's a danger to herself and others. I wish Alexis would just tell her that she knows. I can't wait until Molly finds out about her almost getting Ric and Liz killed. I need her to body slam Kristina. Sasha thinks she knows EVERYTHING. She's always giving advice and painted as right no matter what. And so holier than thou while carrying a married man's baby.
    • Correction, Chicago Hope 1994/95 was initially Thursday 9 pm, a CBS dead zone and head-to-head w/ Seinfeld. 1994/95 CBS Thursday 10 pm initially was Eye to Eye with Connie Chung. Later in the season CBS did a scheduling shift with Chicago Hope moving to Monday 10 pm, Eye to Eye with Connie Chung moving to Thursday 9 pm, and 48 Hours moving from Wednesday 10 pm to Thursday 10 pm.

    • A--I wish someone would post a better vid of the entire ball, as it must be out there. And B--nope. Evie is only in a small segment of the ball with Phillip, Rick and Mindy. She doesn't dance at all. Ross dances with Helena and Amanda. I'm not even sure why Evie is at the ball---Vanessa heartily disliked her. I did see that Billy actually asked Henry to introduce him to Vanessa, which I hadn't realized.
    • Honestly, they should've ordered more of 2000 Malibu Road for the 1992-93 midseason and aired it when Knots went on a break. That was probably their best shot.    Then of course they fumbled Central Park West by airing it in the 9PM slot instead of a 10PM slot where it would've been away from the Fox dramas. CPW got its best rating by airing randomly on a Sunday and when it was taken off the air for a "re-tooling", Party of Five's ratings actually had a spike, so clearly they were feeding off each other. But being a smaller network focused on a certain demographic, Fox could afford to be patient Party of Five, CBS couldn't... 
    • Agree on Bruce Gray as Owen; they needed to cast star power. He was too lightweight against Kim and he had no chemistry with Frances Fischer except more gay buddy or daddy figure.  I loved Nola and Eliot together though. Lee Godart should have been longer term.
    • Andre has the worst fashion of the males which is off putting for someone as fine as he is. His jackets and sweaters look dated and no vintage does not work for him
