I should have phrased it better-if long hair (or whatever length) looks good on you I agree, it doesn't matter what your age. With the group I mentioned, it just looks as if they are holding on to the past-desparately. Lauren is supposed to know the cutting edge of fashion, Nikki is a gazillionaire and Cricket-she's Paul's age-not a younger wife, and they are all wearing the same cut they have had for years. Sorry if I stepped on toes. (and yeah, I have the Jamie Lee cut.)

Topic: Hair (not the musical) Nick and Darvon need to shave it, wash it and look like they actually have a million or so bucks. Thinned out mustaches/beards look juvenile. Lauren and Cricket and Nikki need to get age appropriate cuts-see Jamie Lee Curtis for advice. [Mrs. C's hair stylist must still be alive] Michael-you're having radiation treatment-losing hair and/or graying is part of the process. Everyone, extensions are not always your friend.

Great recap, as usual. Thanks for explaining the editing-I thought I was having acid flashbacks or a stroke or something. This season's first episode of Archer-quick call John Taffer! Keep trying to learn to open a box. I'm on the last season of Mad Men, and I learned it would make more sense for the buyer to come to GC and be wooed and inebriated by the Jabot team. Actually, in the age of hi-def cameras and computers, couldn't this be done on line? My whole thing with Chelz is this high-powered business woman persona that doesn't have any backstory to support it. (Aint buying the repurposing thrift store garments to high fashion in between ripping people off. And I know, I know- #1/#2 Cane doesn't have any credibility either). Chelz makes more sense and becomes rootable when Anita is on deck reminding us that they were grifters. I need that contrast to appreciate the work it took to rise above it-without Anita, Chelz just looks like a poorly drawn Cinderella character-very uncomfortable in the old money world of the Abbots. Even Billy treats her as if she doesn't understand the social world she's in by scheduling a meeting at a wedding venue that "is so hard to get-you have to book months in advance" -Ashely- Gah, everybody knows that. Really, Chelz, how could you schedule a business meeting? I'm wondering if Abu Dabai's Chamber of Commerce has contacted CBS with a cease and desist order for slamming their competency. Also wondering why the staff of GCAC allows so much drama in the bar-between Lily/Cane/Neil/Darvon/Hillary and Kelly's drinking and Stitches Irish Bar Fight part I- there is no way I'd want to eat in that place. Although the seats are better than at Wrestlemania.

Wow, a little r&r goes a long way with you! Loved this recap-some favorite lines: The repairs?? The whole building collapsed. super special daughter that means everything to me whose husband just died but I haven’t thought about in several days! I’m not sayin’ it was right, Abby, I’m just sayin’ I unnerstand. (love me some Chris Rock) Except Kyle, of course, shadow lurker, Summer coveter, and keeper of bloody towels. OH EM GEEEE, if they make my Sharon the murderer of that goat-bleater’s husband, I don’t even know what I’ll do. An Archer RAMPAGE, maybe. (I'll be right there with you!) I bet she sends money to Nigerian princes. Dylan just stares at her, like, are you fucking KIDDING me?? Who ARE you?

Oh, Peach, I so missed you. Quick interview, inquiring minds need to know how you feel after a brief (long to the rest of us) hiatus: did the 180 change in Stabby relationship startle you do you think Victoria took some on-line business courses while you were gone will the show now be Kevin uncrypting (oh, god, I love that word-just had to type it) dirt on everyone instead of plot isn't "a guy so f’ing fantastic he advises her to give up her financial security for no reason" one of the major signs of a domestic abuser did you see how Victor showed up in the (public) interrogation room at the jail and no one could see him but Smelly. Didn't even have a visitor pass. is Kyle real or a creepy figment of everyone's imagination what do you see in the future for wanna-be-CoCeo who had almost the same mental state that has been assigned to Sharon [remember the blanket baby] in regards to figuring out what her daughter's relationship is to the guy she banged in the shower was the bartender in the dive bar serving Neil and Nikki water (yeah, right) the same bartender at GCAC hitting on Michael's Irish Setter Glad to have you back, gurl, (shout out to Sharon's mom) you inspire me! edited to change bartender to one word per my son's screams.

Welcome back, Peach! I think we all needed a break from this show-apparently the writers took one. This scene wouldn't have been missed, anyhow, since it didn't really further any story. It did give a PIR model something else to put on his resume (or whatever actors have). What a waste of Michael-he's almost beginning to sound like that damn goat/summer. If I told him to 'sack up', would that be cruel?

I will never knit or crochet again..... I can't believe she survived the peanut butter coma and subsequent European Clinic-special teachers/training without any after effects. Where did she go-Lourdes? Rather see the family dealing with special Summer than shallow Summer.

Yeah, I threw up a little in my mouth on that. Grandkids on Easter. The fun part was when it was revealed Chelz is going to design Red's wedding dress-an exclusive. Oh, fixed smile all around on that-the Abbot's do have class. Surprised that Red didn't just slither over and crush the life out of Kmart Dior and then swallow her whole, to slow clap from Sage.

Yeah, this is a good time for a break since I don't think the writers know who's in the confessional, who killed Austin or even why, Kyle's motivation for anything he does and have no where to go with the Sage/Gabe lotsabucks story. Have a good vacation and lose the cold and we'll all be here eagerly awaiting your return. Enjoy!

If Sage keeps her mouth shut and doesn't reveal Adam. Otherwise they are both up on fraud charges-she isn't just an accessory, she participated. I also think the lawyer/executor would be vewwy, vewwy suspicious of the sudden 180 since they were assuring him that it was definitely not a marriage just to get the money. Adam's advantage is no money but free to pursue Chelz (unless I missed something about him getting some inheritance if the marriage doesn't last). Thing is, Sage is so confrontational and seems to have gotten some attitude from being around Nick, that I think Adam may see her as a liability and she moves to #1 on the GC Hit List. I really don't understand why Sage bothered with this whole identity switch in the first place. She was already married to the real Gabe (from the brief flashbackstory seemed in love with him and maybe he her) and I doubt that the conditions of the will would have been adhered to if Gabe (or Sage) died before the three years. Saving Adam, switching him, plastic surgery-ing him, nursing him seem like an awful lot of planning to do within the span of an accident, especially with an unknown quantity. She had no idea if Adam even spoke English let alone would go along with the plan.

Ooooou. Words to come back and haunt you, Paulie! Great recap, Peach-you nailed it, as always!

This is what burns my toast-everything is ok if it is for family. (See Cane's and Hillary's excuses). Not one time since Victurd walked in on Nikki clutching a bottle of wodka and slamming down a shot that would kill a horse has he thought about her. He has time to meet a fake priest in a fake confessional in a fake chapel, play Bucket List with Jack, hunt down a damn doctor to sign him out but not once does he check on Nikki and not even a call to his kids! Yeah, a real family man. I vote for making him Pure Evil. Makes more sense.

And he really did say that! My stars and fishes, the writer's have a sense of humor?! Did one of them work on Airplane!? Great recap, Peach, and loved the meme. As much as I want Christine to be Drinki's target, Smelly runs a very close second. Maybe she could hit both of them?

Neither have I, but I have seen churches next to and accessible from the hospital. I just can't believe they have a designated confession priest who sits in the hospital chapel waiting for someone to confess. And from my limited knowledge of Catholicism, you don't just walk in to a confessional and start spewing-don't you have to be at least Catholic and confirmed and know the ritual? Most of the chapel scenes annoy me anyway, because they always start with "I know I haven't talked[prayed, attended church] in forever, God, but I've got a problem now....help me"

Gobshite works for me. It sounds so exotic. Every interrogation room I've ever seen in real life and tv has a video camera and microphone in it. Why doesn't Paul just turn that on? And why are these 'kids' hanging out, screaming and hysterically whispering at a police station? Whatever happened to the Malibu Condo?

I knew it wouldn't ever be Nick's fault. Muoy Hero! Doesn't Wisconsin have access to the National Weather Service? A storm of such epic proportion would have: Been on the radar long enough to issue warning bulletins, held up small craft flights, kept people off the roads (and Nick says the party was breaking up early because people wanted to get home before the roads closed but Sharon had already run into a ditch, so fuck that time line), and probably made 99% of the cabin party bail because 93% of them didn't want to go anyway.

Ok. I found this Physics book in the GC Public Library. The chapter on building demolition reads: A building can be imploded or exploded. When imploding, the building will fall in upon itself [see half the Las Vega Strip or Ocean's 11] and stay the same size. If exploded, the building will burst out and and become larger. I also checked the Law Library room and all it had in it was a game of Clue, a Ouija board and Judge Judy's missing gavel, oh,and a wanted poster of Sharon.

I mentioned this before in my rant entitled "My Kid First" and was reminded by other posters that Johnny is indeed Chlez' kid. I just don't understand why Billy could not have run up, grabbed Connor and all five of them left together. There wasn't that much urgency about the smoke if Gadam could run thru it twice.

everyone but Mariah and Kevin-I'm really liking them. Hilarious recap as per usual, Peach!

And someone should explain that a mental competency determination is to find out whether you are able to understand and assist at your trial-not whether or not you can be charged with a crime. And it's usual to have the Judge order it - not picked from the Legal Choices menu by the DA or defense attorney. (Sorry, folks. My pet legal eagle, Fraud, just flew in and screamed this in my ear.) So far, haven't seen Red charged, just Bug's raging revenge. Haven't seen a trial date set. Haven't seen a judge determine where Red awaits said trial or whether she's out on bail or her own recog.........Fuck it, I'm gonna take Fraud for a walk. This old woman now believes in angels and thanks all gods I'm not blind. (when we say he's channeling MM, that's Magic Mike, right?) And thanks to whomever slapped the Blackberry out of Victor's hand. He is a handsome devil! So much better when he looks at the person he's talking to, almost...mesmerizing. Peach, your insight and subtlety-are amazing. Kid has a great mentor.

I read this as 'rabbit' and thought Radishcake was fuckin with us. Gotta get the cataracts fixed.

There are only 20 plots (according to my creative writing teacher) might as well make them interesting.

I see the future: Creative Writing and Critical Thinking course given by Kid at Columbia-long waiting list.

This is why I wanted Sage to turn out to be Skye. Adam and Skye could pull off the business end details despite any emotional involvements. I'm pretty unclear as to why Sage is even pursuing this. From here all I see her gaining is a little more inheritance than she probably would have gotten from Constance. Really not worth it, since identity theft, abetting same and spending/selling what isn't yours are felonies and at the very least, you lose all you stole and get to think about it in prison. I get why she may have come up with the idea to make Adam into Gabe (I really can't buy that a guy who was in a car crash, burned and in the hurt locker thought up this plan and talked her into it). There may have been a lot more money for her and I do think she had that Sabrina thing going loving-the-rich-guy crush. But seeing how Adam is acting now and realizing that she has not created original Gabe has to send some major 'danger, Will Robinson' warning signals to her brain. Instead, she is pursuing Nick and snarking /pissing off Adam. She's going to get thrown to the wolves when this all goes south-which is ok by me, cause I'm not liking either the character or the actress. Step onto the plane, please.
