I just watched the episode, and it was pretty good. I thought Tony did good work as Tim and at the end when he realized what he had done. Jackie, Jane and Emme were good today as well. I can't remember the name of the actress who plays Pat, but she's a great find (though she definitely doesn't look older than Luke).

My only question is, why did Pat leave? One second she's vowing to take care of them, then she's stuffing bodies in the wall and running out on them? Why wouldn't she have gone to Florida with them? And why did nobody mention her all these years? Bobbie was obviously old enough to remember her, why did she think she left? And why did she never mention her to anyone? If Luke blocked out that night, but still remembered Patricia existed, why did he think she had disappeared? There are a lot of holes here, unless I missed these explanations somewhere in the past couple weeks (which may be the case. If so, my apologies.)

I guess we'll have to wait till tomorrow bc as it stands, it makes no sense. I thought she would at least be across the country but she's only in Philadelphia and is still using the same name. How no one knew about her, or even looked doesnt seem to add up.

DAMN. That was a fantastic episode in every respect. Guess we know what GH is submitting for the Emmys next year.

I hope we get a bit more of an explanation of Luke "Tim" dark side and why Patricia left tomorrow. But I think why Patricia was never spoken of makes sense. Luke blocked the entire night out so he thinks Patricia just up and abandoned them. Bobbie was too young to fully understand so Luke probably never wanted Patricia spoken of and Bobbie complied.

Also it looks like the continuity is a bit off with Luke and Bobbie's ages. They should have been 10 and 6 respectively in 1963. I would say they looked around 16 and 10 approximately.

I thought Bobbie was 7, Luke was 13/14 and Pat was 16/17

We'll have to get explanations but nothing about Pat's disappearance today made sense. Why did she disappear? Considering what just happened, as the oldest, why did she just up and leave her two younger siblings? As it doesnt make sense. Even if Luke blocked the night out, why would she just leave them to fend for themselves? Why didnt they go into the custody of the Eckert family? I want to say I'll give RC the benefit of the doubt to not mess it up tomorrow, but I'll be watching with the side eye.

Were those ages stated on today's show or are you just going by appearance? Looks like Luke's actor is 18. I was basing Luke and Bobbie's ages off the GH Wiki and they cite sources. But they did retcon a lot more than ages today and it worked so I can let this slide.

A surprisingly good episode. I liked LW as Lena, and Tony did well as Tim...(having him also watching as himself was unnecessary, but I'll let that go, because I was happy overall with the episode. ) I knew he killed Tim(I think I posted it last month what I thought), but didn't think he killed "Mom" as well.

Jason, Rebecca and Ryan did well, and I'll let the little continuity bits(the floor, as Depboy mentioned. They were on the seventh, not the ER)...I'm not gonna nitpick...until tomorrow, when the pets return...

All in all, I give today a B+ for today. Those young actors did especially well...

Today was really good. The show is so much better with longer scenes.

The Bill Eckert connection was not necessary but it was okay with me. I really hope we will now see some kind of a healing process for Luke and for the family. But somehow I think it will all happen off screen. Don't think JZ did work after tomorows episode.

    • Oh wow. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
    • The character of Lois has been ruined and trashed. There's no coming back from this mess. The current production and writing team have had no idea as to what made her special to begin with. They just used her to drive plot. Her treatment is not atypical, as most characters on this show will get trashed, even beyond redemption, if it serves the current flavor of the month plotline.
    • No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

    • I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.
    • You would think that, wouldn't you? I'd almost think they needed the money to get Robert Newman back, but they also had to know Larkin wasn't going to stick around and play second banana either. I don't get what the writers thought they were doing with Calla. Long liked using actors from Texas, but other than Alex/Bev McKinsey, the characters she wrote for them seemed blah.
    • Bo has a bad history with kids named Zach. (too soon?)
    • Christie said in her interview this week that she recently started taking acting classes again, and has been doing some work in England, so that helped her to jump into Carrie for this (as well as it being all so familiar, it really was home.)
    • Andrea Barber aka Kimmy Gibbler did have a few scenes with Drake too, when he first came on. Christie came in the middle of that storyline 
    • Carrie, as played by Andrea Barber, was at Bo & Hope's wedding. She was the flower girl. The ringbearer was Zachary Parker, the little boy that Megan tried to pass off as her and Bo's son. Andrea's Carrie was at Tony & Anna's real wedding (Aug. 5, 1985). She appeared for the last time on March 21, 1986. Christie's Carrie debuted on April 14, 1986. It appears that Carrie remained in Salem, just off-screen, during that near-month. Christie picked up with what Andrea had been playing, apprehension over John.
    • I don't think she is. I think she just created some really boring characters and for some reason doesn't know what to do with them.  But let's say that she is being force to write these characters that she doesn't like or want to write for.......that's a really bad sign that the creator of the show is being told what to do from the very beginning.  With so many EPs, I was worried there could be too many cooks in the kitchen, too many people giving notes - all those EPs are representing companies who have a stake in the show.    Canada continues to be one episode ahead. Thursday's US episode is another lacklustre episode, even with Leslie in it.  We'll see if Friday or Monday's episode in Canada will be a repeat.
