I've never felt particularly invested in Sam since I wasn't watching the show during her glory years, but so far I've found the fallout from her death quite moving. DZ and NLG were the standouts for me, but just about everyone is rising to the occasion. The kid who plays Danny is a little too... smiley for this material, though, and during the Dante/Sonny scenes I was very distracted by how bad MB's dye job is (is it just me or does it look blue in places along his hairline?) I can't believe what a pissbaby Michael is being about Willow kissing someone else when he, you know, covered up a murder on their property. Are they just dropping the Jagger plot now? It feels like now that Alexis has been cleared, they're just moving on.

Lol at Justin making his "point." If you bought the product that you're now throwing out, throwing it out doesn't equate to not supporting it because they already have your money. If it was gifted to you then you weren't "supporting" it in the first place and by throwing it out on camera, you're supporting it by giving it air time and free advertising. Lisa's Whitney impression: 4/10. It's hilling, Lisa. Come on, that's so easy.

Maybe they'll both agree to just let Dante keep raising them.

Sleeping with Michael? My God, hasn't Sasha suffered enough?

Erin is so tiresome. If you have a problem with Jenna, then go and talk to her, stop trying to triangulate it with everyone else. Erin deciding that she doesn't want to be friends with you is a real "nothing of value was lost" situation. Rebecca Minkoff is like a black hole on screen, all the energy just gets sucked out whenever she's there. As an unabashed Clueless fan, loved Jessel's party.

Lol, imagine being Lisa Barlow's security guy and having your job consist 100% of nonsense like having to call police precincts around the country to defend her honor.

I'm sorry, Justin thought it was okay for him to invite someone to someone else's party? What? I did not know that there was a Jared Osmond before this show and I would like to go back to a time when I did not know that he existed, please. His appeal is as baffling as Harry Dubin's was on RHONY. Like... this guy? Really? Why?

Oh, they'll just retcon it so that Robert and Mac aren't actually brothers. Nothing is sacred, after all.

Although I'm almost afraid to ask what's going on in Mary's house, is her son still married? I feel like that got brought up last season and has never been mentioned again. I can't take Britani seriously as a person when she's a fully grown adult carrying on a "relationship" that would be beneath the dignity of most middle schoolers.

They'll find a bullet lodged in the boathouse, learn that Jagger actually did have back up and that that agent (or whoever) shot at Sonny and missed, and that Sonny pulled the trigger in reaction to hearing the shot fired at him. The other agent didn't come forward because this was an off the books operation that could get him or her fired. Sonny is cleared, gets a parade. I thought I couldn't dislike Carly more than I already do, but then she got all "What about meeeeeeee" at the idea of Sonny turning himself in to save Alexis.

There was also Pierce, although since I've always considered Pierce to basically be Jeremy without the accent (painter with a tortured history, introduced living in seclusion, had a mercenary past with Trevor) maybe that doesn't count. I never really understood why Edmund's determination to prove his parentage was such a line in the sand for Brooke. I mean, yes, Edmund went to extreme lengths, but he was also up against all of Dimitri's wealth and power in trying to prove his claim. He needed to be extreme so as not to be crushed.

I think it was because once they got Michael E. Knight back, the show decided that Brooke was more valuable as an obstacle for Tad and Dixie. As someone who never particularly liked Tad and Dixie (and to this day is salty that the show decided not to pursue a Tad/Liza pairing during Marcy Walker's second run) I can't say I agree with the decision.

Aw man, I loved those initial scenes between JJ and Norma Connolly. It's been a few years now since the last time I rewatched that era of GH, but her asking if she could give him a hug and him saying he likes hugs has always stayed with me. There was so much warmth to the show during Labine's run, so much depth to the relationships, and Lucky was just instantly this fully formed and engaging character.

It's gonna be so weird when the show starts pushing Al Queda as the group to be rooted for.

She's a good actress. The problem with Babe was never AH's acting, it was how relentlessly propped the character was.
