I haven't watched this week's episode yet, but the episode where Norman was dressed up as his mother was creepy. I take it last week was the calm before the storm, with the family gathering and everyone getting along at the table...

I love Opie from SOA as Dylan's soft spoken, yet trouble in the making, neighbor...

I think Norman is going to the bad place. The boy is seriously trippin.

Overall though, the casting for this show is excellent. Vera and Freddie have a weird chemistry as Mom/Son, but I can feel the sexual tension between them. It [!@#$%^&*] with your head a little lol. And Dylan and his dad/uncle (we call him his Dacle lol) really look like they could be related.

Before tonight's episode, I thought for sure that Alex and Norma were finally going to do the dirty, but all her lying has screwed that up. I kept waiting for someone to fall into that big ass hole!

I can't remember - what happened to Bradley? Is she still at the crazy place or did they kill her off?

This is a great show! Vera was perfectly cast as Norma. She can play every range of crazy one minute and then be vulnerable the next. She makes Norma worth rooting for.

Didn't Bradley seduce the guy that killed her father and then she killed him? I thought she went on the run after that with Dylan's help.

The show is definitely going off the crazy train rails and I love it. I just hope though that Norma stays on for some more seasons! She helps make the show.

Vera is great as Norma, completely agree! The woman draws you into Norma, it's really fascinating. I hope they have her stick around longer too.

Aha! You're right, Bradley is on the lam.

Another thing I love about this show is its pacing. The first half of the season is a slow build, and the last few episodes are bonkers. Lol.

I have been nervous about Emma all season. Part of me thinks that Norman wouldn't hurt her. OTOH, she's admitted to him that she isn't a virgin, she's now dumped him to bonk his hot ass brother...I don't know. He's definitely gonna flip when he finds out about those two.

I'm surprised that Dacle Caleb has been around all season. They've done a lot to humanize the character, but that usually translates to "see ya sucka" during the finale.

I thought the finale was good.

When Bradley showed up a couple episodes ago, I had to do a double take. But knew that she was probably going to added to the list of naughty dead girls.

I haven't seen if the show has been renewed, anyone else?

Hey Slick.  Hell yea I'm still watching.  My favorite show this season (well, every season actually) hands down.  We will watch the finale tonight!  Can't wait!

 

This was such a good show.  The cast, writing, music cues, production.  So so good.

    • Does anyone happen to have a recording or any footage of Jennifer’s funeral?
    • It's such a shame that the conflict couldn't be resolved in a mature way between the two actors.. especially since Albee was a bigger asset for the show in terms of character and his popular will they/won't they pairing with Deborah Saxon. One of the things about Edge was that it was just as popular with male viewers as it was with women.  It's one of things I think the show forgot in the final year or two with the deemphasis on the male characters.
    • Daytime Confidential did a podcast of the worst mothers in soaps and here were their lists.  5.Felicia Scorpio 4.Reva Shayne 3.Dina Mergeron 2.Helena Cassadine/Shelia Carter 1.Brooke Logan Dishonorable Mentions- Stephanie Forrester,Ann Douglas, Phyllis Summers and Joanna Manning Joshua 5.Anna Devane 4.Diane Jenkins 3.Ava Vitali 2.Shelia Carter 1.Brooke Logan Dishonorable Mentions-Alexis Davis, Felicia Scorpio, Eve Donovan, Heather Webber, Natalia Ramirez, Stephanie Forrester,and Ruth Martin Luke 5.Natalia Ramirez 4.Diana Coville 3.Helena Cassadine 2.Alexis Davis 1.Arlene Vaughn Dishonorable Mentions-Stephanie Forrester Now for my comments. Wonder what Ruth Martin ever did to this guy?!!! I mean Ruth Martin? I don't get it. Next, IMO they are just picking on Eve Donovan. Who is Dina Mergeron? Same question  Joanna Manning? Diana Colville Is that because of the bad DAYS retcon of her being Leo Stark's mother? All of the rest, CO-SIGN!  
    • Thanks! Looking forward to reading the rest!

    • I don't really care about what the men are wearing, or not wearing.   What I care about is focusing on the writing and character development for each of the male characters. Andre really doesn't have a lot of character development that sets him apart from the other male characters except that he seems content to be degraded and mistreated by the elitist Dani.  I would like to know why a good looking younger guy like Andre would willingly be at the mercy of an emotional vampire such as Dani.   Martin, on the other hand, seems to have decent character development.. and it is partly due to how the actor chooses to recite his lines.  Martin was raised in a very privileged household and probably went to the best schools... so it makes sense that he would come across as thinking he was above everyone else.  Most people raised in a upper class situation as the Duprees would view themselves as better than others (it's the same trait Dani seems to employ on those she feels superior to). It makes me wonder how Nicole came out of that family being so warm and nurturing  when her family dynamics seemed very appearance oriented.    
    • I know, right. I after just re-reading the thread, I'm like ooppph!
    • Lulu and Dante were divorced before her coma, but she was still in love with him.  He just didn't know.  They haven't been married for years.    I was pretty mixed about Lulu getting involved when it was just a child out there in the world, but now that she realizes it's Gio I am okay with her telling Dante.  It also is her son's sibling.  I still think it's BLQ's choice though.  Lulu is in a rough spot because I think Dante will be mad if she keeps it a secret and Chase, Brook, Lois, etc will be mad if Lulu tells. Without veering too far into the classic area of the show, I had no problem with Robin telling AJ about Michael.  It may not have *exactly* been her place, but she could see how Carly was manipulating the entire situation.  It also ruined her romantic relationship with Jason for good.  Jason and Sonny were furious with Robin and practically ran her out of town, so I think we were to believe she was the bad guy.  It was a bit out of character for Robin to spill, but KMc was leaving the show.
    • Rewatching/binging THE X-FILES Seasons 1 and 2 (almost done). So much fun re-experiencing, especially re-discovering some of the monster-of-the-week stories. THE WEST WING Seasons 1 and 2 as well - so good to rewatch now with 20 years more life experience and understanding. ALSO.... lol FOOTBALLERS' WIVES Season 3, which is just as bonkers as I remember and so so so so fun. I had forgotten about that iconic season cliffhanger. Good times. Excited to rewatch Seasons 4 and 5 since I remember so very little about them. Hope you've been enjoying!
