    • Hehe....Smitty trying to get some alone time and Martin is just wiggling...I mean walking...away.   Lord...SilkPress. lol.   Hmmm so Doug/Vanessa/Joey are building...
    • Not you saying this as I was reading above about the Nip/Tuck actor. lol. hehe
    • Speaking of one of those floppy-haired guys, were Lucas and Elizabeth portrayed as such close friends when Ryan Carnes was in the role? Not that I'm complaining, because I think Van and Becky are great scene partners, and I loved their "watching the Nurses' Ball at home" scenes today. It was fun to see them dishing about the people at the Ball, and it was a nice contrast to the heavy drama playing out elsewhere. 
    • Silk Press Sheila at it again!   Nosy Nurse in her messy element!   Anita vs Tracy!   Smitty and those glasses AND a Jazmen episode?   YES, PLEASE. Same. I love that this show knows how to rotate the cast so you don't get tooooo tired of someone. Some other shows could take note. 
    • Leslie envisioning herself as Nicole is why I said PASSIONS. This woman is clearly not happy with herself.
    • Yes he was. Ted had a dark side. One thing I noticed that different is I felt OG Ted had the capacity to kill Leslie if she pushed him too hard. I don’t get with this Ted as he’s been far too patient with her . His angry doesn’t convey the darkness that the character had before. He was ain’t ish in a way I came to feel was worse than Bill. I don’t think the new guy portrays him more from a heroic standpoint. 
    • Same.  They are easy to tell apart. I had trouble telling Chad Duell and the guy that played Dex apart at times, but these guys are just like men that look slightly similar?  Not even the same age range. I don't really get your point.  These people aren't the Ford brothers.
    • Frank did the same thing on OLTL 
    • It would have been cute if Lucky did perform and dedicated a song to Elizabeth who couldn't be there, but we don't get nice things Blaze wasn't actually that good of a singer.  I judge Miguel Morez (more than usual) for his taste in opening acts.
    • Facially they don't look that similar. I don't think anyone would compare Rory, Giovanni and Van aside from their hair. Van is also 43, so...I'm sure he would find being compared to some of these guys flattering. Rory reminds me a little of that unsettling actor who played that godawful son on Nip/Tuck. I doubt it was intentional to go that route with Michael, but it would be interesting if they do try to bring back how deeply unsettling Michael was as a child.
