It definitely seems like a fun start with a bit of mystery of Mamie’s motives are. Definitely enjoyed the Nate and Mamie scenes as well, definitely filling that desperately needed empty void for Nate, Devon, and Lily.

The B&W flashbacks are annoying, but at least the two 1995 ones Mamie had kept the original classic music intact.

Yeah, the start of this secret buyer story has been intriguing. And I am going to assume it's really Mamie and silently cheer. 

 

I continue to love to see Nikki in Boss mode. It was a rush to see her stay with her heel on Kyle and Audra's necks. I have no sympathy for Kyle at the moment so Team Nikki on that cuz...justified or not...he's been a prick since the breakup from Summer. And as for Audra...she shouldn't have started with Nikki at their dinner so I enjoyed Nikki wiping the smirk right off of Audra's face. 

 

I give credit where credit is due. I did like Phyllis figuring out the company Tucker was after and turning the screws to him. 

 

I am sad to see Jack and Billy falling out. I can't believe how this double agent story with Billy is going. And I wish Ashley was around, but it is what it is. 

 

Angry Victor was LOVE. I'm over whiny Victoria, too.

Very true. But it's been a minute since Billy and Jack have been on the outs when I've been watching. Usually it's Jack and Ashley. And I admit I have loved that through most of the current Abbott drama, Billy has been playing the straight man to it all versus being in the drama or the cause of said drama, which made it refreshing for me.

An older person losing their menttal capabilities isnt funny at all. But, This Victoria stuff makes me laugh her trying to make it look like Victors senile. I'm surprised EB hasn't made a comment on it. If it were Mal Young doing this he would be all over social media calling for his head.

Abbott family drama will always be ten times better for me than any old Newman drama, and that’s been especially true ever  since Diane’s return last year. 
 

I again with you that Billy playing straight man has been a good change of pace and makes the character a lot more tolerable. It’s also very refreshing to see Billy back in the Jabot mix as opposed to being isolated to his podcasting career and being Chelsea’s protector.

    • My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher. 
    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him. 
    • I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.
    • Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much. 
    •   Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year. 
    • Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go. 
    • Good morning, boys!  I figured that it was time that our Gio was introduced into the hotness thread

      @ranger1rg I even included a close up of his face for ya!
    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
