Her husband, FORMER HARDY BOY PARKER STEVENSON, you mean. She is so drunk during that speech.

Ugh. I will always resent that Brenda was not able to take Dylan's phone call, and he didn't leave a message or call back. Would have altered history!

The Mall of America totally had a Planet Hollywood at this time in real life. It was a flagship client for the mall. There is no way that kid had not yet been to the big MOA, even my dad went there to see it, and buy me some Birkenstocks from the Birkenstock store. The Minneapolis Hard Rock Cafe closed a few years ago-- it was downtown, and not successful, and located, embarrassingly, across the street from First Avenue, the club you may remember as the location for "Purple Rain". The portrayal of Minneapolis is so terrible here. They should have made the Walshes from Wisconsin if they wanted to portray the midwest as this provincial and back woodsy. Minneapolis has never been anything like this. It is a bustling cosmopolitan city.

No. No one does that. I don't even call my aunts and uncles Aunt Mary/ Uncle Dan. They are just Mary and Dan. Minnesota is not that backwards, Good Lord.

Something not mentioned-- the Walsh use of ice cream to fix problems. It is so corny and provincial. These L.A. kids have real problems, and there are the Walshes from Minnesota all "there there, there is no problem a little ice cream can't fix!" No wonder Brandon is just an idealist blowhard.

This reran yesterday and I came right here to hear what you had to say. OMG Brandon and his dad are awful.

It could go something like "Scarlet realizes she still loooooooves Gunnar 4ever. She rushes to tell him, only to discover him in the arms of Autumn Chase! So she runs back home. And maybe finds out she's pregnant. I feel like this show has done all of these storylines already with other characters. There is no reason that Gunnar and Scarlet shouldn't be together. They have never been able to make anything work with anyone else because they are both so annoying. They belong together and I hope they do have a baby, because it would literally change nothing. They would just pass the baby back and forth and sing and write songs and ride around on a bus, just with less passive-aggressive whining from the grown-ups.

And this Juliette's plane is missing business. That only came about because she will be campaigning for her Oscar for playing Patsy Cline, who died in a plane crash. Sloppy, lazy writers who think they are clever. She and Avery better get back together in one of these "contingency" scenarios RL Deacon has been talking about.

DirecTV tells me that next week Scarlett will make an "unexpected" discovery. Pregnant, right? From her drunken hookup with Gunnar?
