Boogie Chillen, Wednesday - 5-1-13

I'm glad to see that Brooke managed to heal Adam's heart. I've also missed Adam's hissssssses whenever anything he says has an ess sound in it.

The squiggle artwork in Adam's living room reminds me of the squiggle artwork Jack used to have in HIS living room. Or in his house with Erica. Or maybe in his office. Well, Jack had some squiggle artwork SOMEwhere.

OH FGS! There's yet ANOTHER child hidden from David? I think Leora was the ONLY child he ever got to be with from birth and she died at, what, 4 months?

Was McKenzie the little girl (who is now a teenager) that Cara championed the last time around? I remember that Cara had leukemia when she was a child and she was isolated and over-protected and HATED it. So when she saw another little girl being treated the same way, she stood up for her (against the girl's PARENTS). I think Cara got fired and/or banned from the hospital for it.

Questions:

• Do people in PV still go to the Yacht Club?


• How long will it be before someone blows something up?


• How long will it be before a baby or child is kidnapped? We ALREADY have an adult being kidnapped right off the bat, after all.


• ARE there any babies left in PV? If not, how soon before someone is sporting a baby lump?


• Where are Kathy and Jenny? Jenny would probably be with Krystal, assuming Krystal survived, but Kathy is Tad and Dixie's daughter.


• Did Jane buy BJ's and remake it into Jane's Addiction?


• Is there still quicksand out by Willow Lake?


• Did Jamie hire caretakers for the Wallingford estate that he inherited, or did he sell it off or rent it out so he could continue to be a doctor in Africa?


• Is Evelyn the Headmistress really Celia's biological mother or aunt?


• Does Colby Chandler feel eclipsed by Petey's success with apps, given that she had become a video-blog sensation 5 years ago? I don't get the feeling that she was a casualty of the infamous megadeath/engagement party.


• Did Caleb finally say "take this job and shove it" to Cortlandt Electronics? I get the feeling that he abandoned it.

Back to yesterday's show, I agree that that was an unfortunate choice of haircuts for Justin Bruening (Jamie).

Are we ever going to find out just what it was that David did while he had Dixie that scared the bejesus out of her, other than keeping her captive and befuddled and alone?

I liked it when Tad told Cara that if anyone can slap Hayward around, it's gotta be HER. I think I agree. She won't put up with David's shit. I'm glad they semi-paired them for the finale.

Come on, Adam. Stuart was just brought back from the dead literally moments before. Was that REALLY the right time to spill your guts about being the one who shot and killed him? Yeah, I know, there IS no other time.

So, who is JAR going to shoot? Marissa? Himself? Bianca? David? Adam? Those are people he probably feels deserve it. Or will he accidentally shoot someone? Will he aim for someone and accidentally kill Uncle Stewart all over again? If he accidentally shoots someone, it could be just about ANYONE. Or will he have a moment of clarity and throw the gun in the river (for some kid to find)?

Greenlee talked about walking into the penthouse and it being so eerily quiet. It's the wee hours of the morning. Where is Emma if Ryan is out drinking at the bar and Greenlee went over to talk to Kendall?

I like this episode. The whole thing consisted of people talking to each other in the wee hours of the morning, sharing feelings, stories and confidences, and simply thanking each other for being in their lives. It's part of the wind-down, of course, but it's a nice part. It's an acknowledgement that everyone is moving on, that bad things happen in life, but that the people are all still connected, regardless of what the future holds. It's back to CHARACTERS, not inventing exciting events that throw years of history and personalities out the window for the sake of a quick flash. It would be boring if all episodes were like this one, but I thought it was a nice touch.

I see Madison has given up on the uber-fierce look. Thank goodness.

So is Dixie now officially a Dixie Chick?

Cara thinks she's dying and she has made some "trouble dolls", one for her missing brother, one for not having a place to live, and one for the children she probably won't have. Well, that pretty much cinches it; she's not dying of cancer, she's (as predicted) pregnant with David's baby.

I don't know much about foreclosures, but don't people usually have a more reasonable amount of time than 1 week to get out of the house? Of course, they'll be out of the house ANYWAY in about two weeks.

Sooo, I'm guessing little Trevor is going to discover Ellie's grave (based on the fact that his parents periodically tell him to stay where they can see him, but otherwise pay no attention to his whereabouts). ETA: Apparently not, but it would have been a good opportunity. Maybe he'll still say something about it.

It's great to see Agnes Nixon again! That said, why did they bring her character in in a wheelchair if she was "critical"?

I love how David said that Pine Valley hospital wouldn't exist without Agnes.

Does the name "Eckhardt" have a special meaning? Ah, Francine says that Eckhardt is Agnes Nixon's maiden name. I KNEW it had to have some significance!

How did Mrs. Eckhardt know David's father enough to recognize him in the tunnel of light? David only came to Pine Valley because he was following Ally Doyle here; he's not FROM Pine Valley. All things considered, though, I suppose that his father's spirit would have the capability recognize a connection and tell Agnes to give David a message.

Tad shows a lot of empathy for Jesse having to lose his baby and bury it in the park. I was waiting for Tad to say "Hey, for what it's worth, I buried someone in the park, too."

Oh no he DI-INT! Ryan has the audacity to snark at Zach for speaking for his wife and not letting her have any say in the matter. The matter is that Zach bought a building out from under Ryan, a building that RYAN decided would be perfect to house both Cambias and Fusion together. Ryan surprised Greenlee with the fact that he put a bid on it, but Kendall was never mentioned, even though she is Greenlee's partner. Today Kendall said that Greenlee told her about it, but the fact remains that this was a deal that BOTH men were deciding on behalf of the "little ladies".

Ugh! I really don't like Zach's hairy look. He looks like a street person and it makes his face look fat.  Did he gain weight and is trying to hide it with hair?

Lucy is screaming her little head off and all Frankie and Randi can do about it is talk and wonder why. How about PICKING HER UP?
Why hasn't Angie asked whose baby Jesse replaced Ellie with?  They were in an empty house. Angie passed out. Where did Jesse get a baby at that time of night in the moments from when Angie passed out until she came to again? I know Angie is traumatized by the news that her biological baby died, but she's also bonded with Lucy.  Plus there's the time between when Jesse told Angie at the apartment until the time he took her to Ellie's grave. Angie didn't ask even ONCE about the origins of the baby that's been living with them since Ellie was born?

That said, Debbi Morgan gave a stellar performance today!

Wasn't Zach's bed on the other side of the room on Tuesday?
Kendall and the boys are ready to leave the hospital. Griff offers them a ride and Kendall accepts. Uh, how did they get to the hospital in the first place. Wouldn't both boys need age-appropriate child safety seats? That made NO sense under the circumstances.

Robin "and then Griff asks her if she can find her own way back to the hospital - what a prince!" Coutellier

BC - Wed, 8/10/11

Tad says he wants Dixie to understand why he married Cara, but then says he doesn't want to bombard her with too much information, given what she's been through. WTF? She's CLEARLY agitated about the fact that the love of her life is married to someone else and, trust me, if I died and my sweetie married someone else, and then I came back from the dead, I'd want to know ALL about it, especially the part where it's not the way I think it is.

Why is JaNut calling Amanda Mandy? She ALWAYS referred to her as Amanda, usually preceded by "My Precious".

Dixie took off when she pretended to go get a glass of water. What a surprise. Apparently Tad doesn't know her as well as he thinks he does.  Even Angie would be able to see THAT coming.

I agree with Aisling - no WAY would they let Amanda wear nail polish or all that makeup for surgery in real life. Her toes didn't look pointy under the blanket, though, so at least she's probably not wearing F-Me pumps into surgery.

BC - Fri, 8/5/11

Did you hear there was a fire at Oakhaven? No, actually, I did NOT because they jumped ahead and it happened off-screen between JaNut showing Erica the gasoline she had saved up in a shampoo bottle and Kendall and Bianca talking about the fire.

I really HATE the fact that they are showing T__ C___ commercials during AMC, but even more than that I hate that they are showing them as the last commercial before returning to AMC after a spate of commercials, so even if you FF, it's hard to miss at least part of it as you jockey to get to the beginning of the next segment of AMC. How UTTERLY disrespectful to longtime fans of AMC!

I just LOVE JaNut! It was GREAT when she reminded Kendall that she was her cellmate back in 1991 or 1992. Damn, that's about 20 years ago! Kendall had already been aged to her early twenties by then, which means the current Kendall should be in her early 40s. I'm not going to try to pin ages at this point, though, because trying to figure out the Erica/Kendall age timewarp is enough to give ANYONE a migraine.

So not only did Oakhaven burn, but it burned to the ground? That's some kind of fire!

Leo has BEEN in Bhutan or is GOING to be in Bhutan? Or are they in Bhutan NOW? WTF? I can see why David's legs would be cramped after the long drive from Pine Valley to Bhutan. I had to look up Bhutan, which, according to Wikipedia is described as: "officially the Kingdom of Bhutan, is a landlocked state in South Asia, located at the eastern end of the Himalayas and bordered to the south, east and west by the Republic of India and to the north by the People's Republic of China."

Hmm, Zach has a tan, too. That David sure knows how to treat his living corpses well! Can't have them looking wan, now can we?

I'm not even sure how I'm feeling about all this. On the one hand, this is GREAT STUFF! On the other hand, it's pretty far-fetched. But since they are going away ANYWAY, WTH? Might  as well pull out all the stops!

Where is Dixie getting her expertly applied makeup?

The inmates at the asylum know who Dixie is; isn't she a Jane Doe as far as the staff at Oakhaven is concerned? Have they even noticed that several people are calling her Dixie? For that matter, why would they take a Jane Doe to Oakhaven? Shouldn't she be in some State--er-Commonwealth facility?

Did you hear the muffled voice over a loudspeaker while Jake was pouring out his "settling for being married" speech to Amanda at the park?

Leo looks pretty damn good for someone who's been in a coma (or whatever kind of physical state he's in) for damn near a decade.

If Jake has been asleep since last night, why is the laptop screen still showing what he was looking at before he fell asleep? No screensaver on THAT puppy.

Presumably David keeps hounding Ben to find Dixie. How is Ben supposed to find her if he has to spend all his time on the phone being lambasted by David for not finding her? And why doesn't David have a codename for Dixie (like DADD (Dumb As Dirt Dixie))?

David is going to hint to all sorts of people that all sorts of people are still alive. Who has died that could possibly be brought back?

AJ was at the park with eBabe. Tad found JAR in the park, gave him a lecture and then said he was going to go get AJ and take him home. The next thing we know, Tad goes back to Krystal's to meet up again with Cara, and he has AJ in tow. Does eBabe know that Tad even HAS AJ?

Erica was dragged out of Dixie's room (twice). Why would they then put her in the room right next to Dixie?

Why did Griff tell Kendall that David may possibly have Zach stashed away somewhere? You'd think he would know by now that Kendall is nothing if not impulsive and that both she and her mother's go-to solution when they are pissed off is VIOLENCE. Guns, knives, drugs, pillows--whatever it takes or even just whatever happens to be handy at the time. Kendall, in particular, has a long history of using the threat of lethal violence to try to force people to cooperate with her, whatever her current obsession happens to be. Oh sure, both she and Erica usually wield whatever their current weapon of choice is in a very feminine manner while wearing the latest fashions, but the bottom line is that they often follow through with a very unladylike result. You know that, sure as shit, Kendall is going to go after David and try to force him to tell her whatever he knows about Zach.

This is ridiculous! Cervical cancer doesn't develop in a matter of 2-3 weeks after exposure to HPV! If Amanda has cervical cancer as a complication of the HPV virus, then she's had the virus for a very long time and there's no way she got it from JAR  unless she got it from one of their earlier go-arounds.  Which means Jake was also regularly exposed to it prior to her "slip-up" with JAR.

Angie sends Maya in to change the baby so that she can talk to Jesse. After a brief discussion between Jesse and Angie, Maya returns to the room and says that the baby has been changed, they had a little play time and now the baby is asleep. A "little" playtime?  How about a nanosecond? Unless the playtime consisted of the baby flinging her own poop around the room while she was being changed, there definitely wasn't any time for play. There wasn't even any time for proper diaper-changing.

How did Dixie's clothes get changed? She was wearing all gray; when she woke up, she was wearing all brown.

Why would Jack need TAD'S help to find a way to legally get into Oakhaven to see Erica? JACK is the lawyer!

I enjoyed all the repartee and in-jokes about show/character history that were being flung right and left at the Oakhaven

Oh no they DI-INT!  Cara said serving at Krystal's could be like CHEW and checkup.  More like BARF and checkup! Isn't it MORE than enough that The Chew is going to replace our beloved AMC? Do they have to remind us of that fact as a product placement of sorts WITHIN THE SHOW??? Assholes! Aisling, I saw the subject header of your post before seeing the show, but I hadn't read the post itself. As soon as I heard Cara say that, I guessed  that you had the same thought and that was what the post was about. I'm thinking thousands of people, if not millions, had the same thought, too! What a slap in the face to loyal fans!

Ha!  I was RIGHT about Dixie pounding on the walls where Erica is being held prisoner! COULD this have been David's plan all along? He didn't seem to know Jane, but he's such a master manipulator I wouldn't be surprised if he planted the idea in her brain in the first place, just so he could seduce her and gain power from her. Because he's THAT diabolical, THAT twisted, and THAT good.

How does Kendall carry a purse that big? Given her size and length, I'm surprised she didn't tip over. 

Oh, so now David is responsible for getting Cara the help she needed when she had leukeima when she was 8. The pies this man has had his fingers in know no bounds.  I mean, REALLY? How far is this going to go? Did he have anything to do with the Salk Vaccine, too? Is he going to cure AIDS before September 23?

Are we really supposed to believe that David and Greenlee are talking for an extended period of time and don't notice someone (Jane, albeit in scrubs and a mask) is standing 3-4 feet away, frozen in place, not doing anything at all, and quite obviously eavesdropping?  Seriously?

Will seeing JAR acting like such an asshole (even more than usual) while drunk be enough to make Asher see the error of his ways and try to stay on the straight and narrow?

Dixie is lurching around the park. Why would David and/or Jane be keeping human guinea pigs in or near the park? Shades of Dr. Madden being buried under a park bench (not to mention little Ellie somewhere nearby). My guess is that since they showed JAR with car keys and a flash of scotch, he's going to hit or nearly hit his mother as she lurches into the roadway.

Tad said Dixie's father, Seabone Hunckle, just passed away. I could have Ihe died a long time ago.

Why would Seabone Hunckle have Dixie's childhood journal? He didn't live with Dixie, her mother and Will. He left them and started another family (hence Dell, (not to mention Di with yet another woman) -- Seabone got around. Dixie didn't spend her childhood with Seabone, so they are rewriting history unless Dixie entrusted her diary to him as an adult, which seems highly unlikely.

Isn't it a little late in the lifetime of the show for them to develop someone just BECOMING dependent upon alcohol and/or drugs (I'm talking about Asher). And what the hell IS Asher's real name, anyway? Are we ever going to find THAT out? Asher Pike sounds like a fish with a nasty cigarette habit.

Haven't we see Maria wear that dress before? Maybe she borrowed one of Krystal's dresses, given their shared affinity for really big implants. Maybe it's the only thing that would fit her.

Does anyone else cringe whenever JAR refers to eBabe as a lesbian? I don't mean that being a lesbian is cringeworthy, just that I'm not even remotely convinced yet that eBabe IS a lesbian. She seems to have fallen in love with Bianca, but that doesn't make her a lesbian. It's not like she's even had sex with her yet. She's barely kissed her, and those kisses were mega-awkward. I'm not a lesbian, but I bet I could put WAAAY more enthusiasm and realism into a woman-to-woman kiss than eBabe did. I mean, it's only kissing so far; it's another pair of lips. If you're going to do it, DO it. There just doesn't seem to be any underlying drive behind it, despite eBabe suddenly saying that she's been fighting it all along. No. She hasn't because there was nothing there to fight as far as libido goes. Nothing. Zilch. We've all put way more feeling into simply discussing the matter than eBabe has put into their entire relationship pre- and post-revelation.

Frankie called Caleb to discuss Asher's probable need for addiction counseling, despite Asher's resistance to any help. WTF? Unless Asher signed something saying it was okay for Frankie to talk to Caleb about his Asher's medical issues (and he may very well HAVE, considering Caleb has been there for him), Frankie has no right to call Caleb and tell him that Asher appears to be addicted to pain pills.

How many times now has Tad "made peace with Dixie's death"? She's like a life/death/life yo-yo or whack-a-mole.

Is David Canary coming back? I know there were rumors that he was ill and that's why he left the show. I ask because the photo they showed of him looks like it could be more recent. He looks older and softer in it than he did before.

So JAR's going to go out driving while drunk. Who's he going to hit? Maybe Dixie. He already accidentally shot her the LAST time she returned from the dead (although, to be fair, she was only PRETENDING to be dead that time). It would be a PV/Cooney tradition for him to now hit her with his car. Then again, he could hit Amanda. Again. Oooh, what if he hits AJ?

AMC has gone down this maybe-I'm-gay-and-maybe-I'm-not-gay road before. Way back in the 1970s Devon McFadden was so shattered by the betrayal of the men in her life (and the mess she made of her own life in the process) that she turned to her good friend, Lynn, played by Donna Pescow. Lynn was a lesbian and Devon decided she should probably be one, too, since she liked Lynn so much and men were all pigs. She tried to kiss Lynn. Lynn let her know that it didn't work like that. You don't just "decide" to become gay because it makes more sense to you when things go wrong in a hetero relationship. I hope that in the show's finale Bianca meets eyes with someone wonderful and they smile brilliantly at each other, knowing in their hearts that they've just met "the one". Is that so much to ask? Maybe Lena will come back to whisk her away.

I don't buy that JAR is brokenhearted over eBabe and driven to drink by said heartbreak and disappointment; frustrated, yeah, but he NEVER gives in that easily, so why start drinking over it now? He doesn't even know yet that eBabe has fallen in love with Bianca, he just thinks Scott is getting in the way.

Why would a seascape remind little Bianca of a Pine Valley? Miller's Pond, maybe, but a SEASCAPE? Having ocean scenes, although annoying, is still amusing, but to have Stuart give a seascape painting to little Bianca to remind her of her home in Pine Valley while she's living in Washington is just plain insulting to the viewers.

It's nice to see Amanda take time out of her angst over an STD and the impending doom of her marriage to get a nice haircut in the middle of the night.

If Amanda is trying to avoid sex with Jake or anyone else, why is she dressed in a braless, low-cut, spray-on top with matching spray-on pants? She looks like she's about to go out clubbing. And what was with that scene with the guy at the bar. I couldn't tell if she was deliberately trying to put him off or reel him in. Are we supposed to see it as reverting to old habits during stressful times, but then thinking twice about it? Did she just not want to be bothered? It didn't really come off either way. She DID show him her wedding beringed finger. He didn't seem to care, and then she knocked a vase or something, consequently spilling water all over him, thus driving him away. It was hard to tell if she was just bumbling or being a bitch or being a cock-tease. I don't get it. It was enough to reel OPAL over to her, though, which may have been the whole point.

Didn't JAR get Hepatitis C during that whole Richie-steals-JAR's-bone-marrow storyline? Amanda's right; he SHOULD be carrying condoms at all times and USING them!

Hey JAR, here's an idea to pass the time: GO TO WORK!

They actually WENT there? Marissa is NOT gay, so why is she kissing Bianca (and doing a really bad job of it, at that)?

The bottoms of Erica's shoes are kind of dirty for just walking around her carpeted room & bathroom. Did Jane get them from Erica's closet or are they Jane's castoffs? Jane's already wearing last season's shoes while pretending to be Erica, so I can only imagine Erica's humiliation at wearing Jane's castoffs, even though Ben is the only one who sees her.

That crystal chandelier above/near Erica's bed looks like it could be useful for smashing into something, if only for the satisfaction of breaking it.

What did Madison do, put on black contacts that cover all of the whites of her eyes? She definitely looks like someone who would shoot Greenlee. I hope that suit of armor Greenlee has is bulletproof. My guess is that it WILL come into play in that respect and that Madison will somehow get hold of Ryan's gun that they so carefully tried to fool us with on his wedding day.

That medieval photo session with Ryan and Greenlee was the most animated I've seen them in a long time - maybe YEARS. I actually did NOT FF through it and kind of liked it, probably because it looked like they were genuinely having fun. They're probably relieved they can move on to something else soon, so they can relax - it's not like they are going to get fired at this point for not being overly soapy.

I think I'm jaded by short-timer's attitude at this point. There was a commercial on Soapnet about going there to keep tabs on who's coming and who's going. WTF? They're ALL going!

So Madison's new campaign is Angry, Harsh, Spiteful, Hateful, Man-Hating Bitch? Ooookaaay. Well, at least she bleached the black out of the whites of her eyes. That had to sting.

Every time I see Madison now I think of the evil uber-bitch, Katinka, in Zoolander. How long will it be before she accuses someone of wearing K-Mart clothes?

Why did Jane pass out? The only thing she hit on the way down was her hand, and that was on a lightweight piece of plastic.

For those following the Casey Anthony trial, I just realized that Jose Baez sounds a LOT like Jake!  It makes me dislike BOTH of them even more than before.

When Griff said he was leaving PV, my response was "Isn't everyone?"

Griff's taking off with virtually NO notice? Well, THAT came out of nowhere. We know he's wanted to leave for a long time, but when he DOES, you'd think he'd give more than a few minutes noticed.

Does it seem to anyone else like they are already wrapping things up? I'm seeing:

• Griff saying goodbye to everyone.

• Cara and Tad going on a real date.

• Ryan and Greenlee getting close again. In fact, Tad officiates yet another wedding for them. I'm so ... underwhelmed.

• JAR and Marissa getting back together.

• Lots of flashbacks are occurring.

• Madison suddenly has a new attitude and is striving for a new look.

Why does everyone think Cara's going to be just fine? Don't Mexican druglords still have a bounty on her? What, like no one from Mexico ever crossed the border? Griff "knows" she's going to be okay. She and Tad will probably decide they have a real marriage, Dixie will come back, and Cara will be assassinated by a hitman (or hitwoman).

It's all a little too pat for me. In fact, it's downright creepy! Loose ends are being tied up right an left. Are actors being dropped or jumping ship or both? Is the show even going to be BACK after the 4th of July?

LOD:
 Okay I DID laugh when Kendall burst into Ryan's living room and Tad announced: "Stripper's here."

I'm sorry -- I can never see Greenlee's belly without remembering that poem she had written on it for Aidan.

Why is Madison doing all that makeup in the office? Don't they have a lab or ladies room or something like that in the building?

Why doesn't anyone tell Angie how dull and unflattering that blouse is?

Amanda said she and JAR didn't use protection (told ya) and now she might be pregnant. Most women in PV start getting morning sickness and/or start fainting within a day or two of conception.

Jane is a VIRGIN? I'm pretty sure Jack would have noticed THAT had she given him an opportunity to deflower her.

Frankie highly recommends Maya as a babysitter for his little sister. Based on WHAT? He doesn't know anything about her other than that she seems nice, is a hard worker and recently gave away a baby. Neither he, Angie nor Maya realize that Lucy is Maya's biological child.

Why didn't Griff walk a few extra steps and put Madison on a bed instead of a leather sofa?

Griff carried Madison back to Kendall's place. Presumably they got in a vehicle at some point. Now Madison is leaving in Kendall's borrowed clothes; she just walks away. How is she planning to get to work (which is where she says she's going)?
