I thought the flashback to Bill/Dani was wonderful, and just cements how much chemistry TD and KM have. The press conference goofery was very silly in how it was presented - Bill should've just held one next door or outside - but it was also typical soap, so whatever.

I may get deeper into the ep later but it was mostly fine. Except that Martin continues to deliver lines like he is teaching Grover the alphabet on Sesame Street, and Bill and Hayley's living room looks like a sorority dorm from Saved by the Bell: The College Years.

At least Ashley's apartment is supposed to be mid range rental whereas Bill/Hayley's is supposed to be high end luxury.

Thinking about the various occupations of characters and how it fits into the storytelling.

I assume Vernon/Anita are retired and living off investments so they are able to be at home mostly.

We've seen that Nicole works from home? Is she going to be shown at work with clients? 

Ted has an office at the hospital,right?

Bill's office has been shown and Hayley and the Tomas work there.

Dani is a momager and her daughter a model so they can be at home or on shoots.

Ashley is at the hospital and Derek is supporting so doesn't need to be seen at work. Andre a photographer. Was that his studio where Dani/Andre got it on?

Naomi is a lawyer and her husband a cop but we've yet to see them at work.

What about Martin? He should have an office and staff.

Does Kat have a job?

She's been shown at the office a lot, I feel, with her assistants (including poor Laura). I don't think we've seen her with a patient yet though. We have seen Ted at the hospital.

They keep talking up Jacob's new partner, an venerated homicide detective with a fearsome reputation, so I expect we'll see him soon.

The dialogue said that Nicole does both philanthropy and psychiatry.
I think Nicole's home office and personal assistants are for her philanthropic work.
I don't think we know yet where her psychiatry practice is located - at home or elsewhere?

Ted is a plastic surgeon who can work at the hospital but he also has a high-end private practice in a building/property which has nice grounds. That came up when they were deciding where Andre would shoot the video of Nicole and Ted.

Edit yes, Ted was Laura's doctor at the hospital - after Leslie ran her off the road.  I don't know if he was just working as a regular Emergency Room doctor that day or what?  There was some dialogue about Nicole arranging to pay for Laura to recover at a private clinic somewhere.

Andre is independently wealthy, inheritance from his late parents.  He travels the world doing photography.  I got the impression he doesn't live anywhere fixed, and is just visiting Fairmont Crest right now -- but might decide to stick around.  (and obviously will stick around since he's contract cast).

 

Edit, I do think we saw Nicole's psychiatry office because there were framed degrees on the wall.

We have actually seen two of Nicole's offices. One at the hospital and one at home.

I have been keeping track of the storied 27 sets and unless I'm mistaken, we have seen just over half of them:

1. Dupree home
2. Dani’s living/kitchen
3. Dani’s bedroom
4. Ashley’s studio
5. Leslie’s home
6. Naomi and Jacob’s bedroom
7. Martin and Smitty’s home
8. Bill and Hayley’s home
9. Fairmont Crest Country Club
10. Orphey Gene’s
11. Uptown
12. Garland Memorial Hospital
13. Nicole’s home office
14. Bill’s law office
15. Richardson living room

In an upcoming episode we will see

    • That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.
    • Yeah, and quite honestly, are there really that many scenes that are flashback-worthy at this point in the run?
    • I know at one point they were on Hulu & i-Tunes. I just checked it on JustWatch.com & it indicates 1 season on Prime Video & on AppleTV. Have fun!
    • That era is so weird...they made a big deal out of all three of those characters and then they just..disappeared! Not that I am complaining. We talk about the bad out of character writing for Alex under JFP..but this was one example that may have led them to write her being so obsessive with Nick.  WHY would Alex accept Flock of Seagulls guy as her brother? They had her in one scene (setting up the Alan return) complain that Alan abandoned her...she blackmailed him into leaving town and she had been angry at him for helping Brandon with Lujack and also using Spaulding for that dumb dreaming death thing. Endless scenes of her with Simon, I can't believe Bev wasn't bored to death! I would also add Pam writing the scene where she lets Ms. Sally die in front of her to protect Alan and  the writing for Alex could be screwy even before JFP.
    • On this day 34 years ago the final episode of Dallas and came in at an astonishing #2 in the ratings after two straight seasons of weak ratings. Interesting Knots was #27 for that week as well:

    • Thank you for clearing that up. I wasn't watching GL regularly yet at that point, but seems to me I should have remembered the big wedding after Leslie's death (which I do remember) described in the profile. Is there a web archive of SOD summaries, or are referring to your own personal collection?
    • I was bummed that 2.0 ended because Mcpherson (headwriter) had really set up some interesting stories and we never got to find out where the stories would go once they resumed production on 'season 2'. I remembered the EP (Ginger Smith) and a lot of the stars gave a lot of credit to McPherson being able to come in on very short notice and come up with stories/plots (I think it was a very short turnaround time of a few weeks).  It was nice that she got to redeem herself after her year long Days stint was not well reviewed/liked.

    • It seems like a setup for failure to review a single episode of a soap, but Cleveland Amory was a foolish man.  His taste was so predictable, that one wondered why bother reviewing a medium he so clearly disliked. (found on Facebook retro TV group) Another case in point of his misogyny from his review of Dark Shadows (Can you imagine the magazine with the widest circulation in the country insulting its customer in this way today?)

    • They could easily be re-created, or even re-shot in different ways, especially if they were re-shooting scenes at some point, as well.
