[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 153202, member: 27"] I watched the show today* and I have to say....it was very well-done. I mean, "they ought to submit this episode for the Daytime Emmys" well-done. The scenes between Lindstrom and Howarth did not disappoint, especially since Howarth wasn't doing his usual jokey delivery. The use of history gave the whole episode an extra layer of glue binding together Ryan/Franco's encounter with Lulu and Maxie's detective/digging scenes, Liz and Drew's thoughtful dialogue (reflective of their past together), and of course Ava and Scott's gentle arguing about Ava's decision to marry "Kevin". Even the teens (whom I usually just ignore) had an interesting interaction about Franco's confession and how it's hurting the Webber/Baldwin clan. I have no idea if those old details Maxie and Lulu were spouting about Ryan's murder spree were accurate, but it sounded like the writers did their homework (or watched some youtube clips). Cam ranting in "FML" mode because of Franco and his mom--while terminally-ill Oscar was seated at the table across from him--should have been ironic, but since they did not give Oscar the chance to play "compare and contrast," it just made me laugh a bit in spite of myself. * Apparently this was Wednesday's show, but it got interrupted several times by breaking national news so ABC re-ran it today. Smart move, because it had some major movement of plot and needed to be seen by as many eyeballs as possible. [/QUOTE]
