BC - Thu, 2/5/09

Wow, Susan Lucci's throat ailment hit her FAST!

What's up with Krystal's clown bow? Looks like Erica isn't the only one resurrecting the 1980s.

I just noticed that not only do the Hubbards have V-8 on their counters, but they also have at least a couple of cans of Campbell's soup there. I don't know about YOU, but *I* usually keep my canned goods in a cupboard unless I'm ready to open them. And now Adam is pushing Prego's Heart Smart sauces on Amanda. I know that there is a heart health awareness campaign at this time of year, but they are really laying it on thick! Will we see jars of Prego in the living room? If Adam Chandler is rich enough to have a full-time cook, then he's certainly rich enough to have said cook prepare some heart smart foods from SCRATCH, with help from a nutritionist if necessary. According to the nutritional information on their website, a half-cup serving of Prego's Heart Smart Traditional Italian Sauce has 430mg of sodium and 10g of sugar.

Amanda has money again, so why is she moving into the Chandler mansion? I don't buy that bull about protecting her from David for a SECOND, as it has been amply proven that the Chandler estate is more accessible than a metropolitan city sidewalk. She KNOWS how Adam operates. She KNOWS that he hates her guts and she KNOWS that he has a history of going ANY lengths necessary to wrest away custody of any child he thinks has a drop of Chandler blood in it. So why subject herself to such a TOXIC environment (and considering that he burned LA's car in the fireplace, the label of TOXIC applies on several levels)?

LOD:
Zach to Bianca: "It IS on ME. It's my wife. I had a kid with someone else -- maybe I should have said something about that." Ya THINK???

I can't believe Bianca is still spouting that the REAL problem with the circumstances of Gabrielle's paternity is that she didn't TELL Zach (or Kendall) that she went ahead and used his sperm to get pregnant. Uh, NO. The REAL problem is that Zach made a deposit for her to use in the FIRST place without consulting his WIFE (who happens to be Bianca's SISTER) about it!

Oh, look at the convenient pestle and mortar Jesse whips out so that he and Jake can grind up a bunch of pills to frame David. They don't watch much in the way of forensics TV shows, do they? Traces of the meds CAN be found on them. For that matter, it's possible that someone in the household is allergic to one of the meds that were mixed together and will subsequently eat something that was prepared using said pestle and mortar and will then have a life-threatening allergic reaction to it.

One of the conditions of Krystal having visitation with Jenny is that she NOT take her to DAVID'S house. So what does Krystal do the minute she gets Jenny? She takes her to David's house, of course. Wow, I knew there would probably be repercussions from it with Tad eventually, but I didn't expect those repercussions to be the minute she walked in the door. It was also a handy way for Tad to deflect her questions about him being IN the house in the first place. Krystal figures it out quickly enough after Jesse and his posse raid the house and find the freshly compounded pills, though.

Greenlee and Erica have a knockdown drag-out fight at Fusion, including dueling with cheap chairs. This is BEYOND ridiculous, if only because Erica (okay, Susan Lucci) is 62 years old -- she could break a hip! Even with the show's warped sense of time, Erica would be at LEAST 25 years older than Greenlee; this is trailer park trash behavior on BOTH their parts! Are we supposed to think Erica has learned some tough survival skills in prison?

Don't police academy cadet photos usually get taken when the cadets GRADUATE? Natalia has only had ONE class so far, according to her.

How can ABC POSSIBLY think there will be ANY kind of cliffhanger tension WHATSOEVER with Greenlee's head wound and being knocked unconscious considering the promos they've shown us?
