[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 246154, member: 27"] The way TP (or maybe it's the OWN people) organized "seasons" of the series was (and continues to be) problematic. Since they aired these batches of episodes at irregular intervals, they sometimes slap a few batches together to call them a season, and at other times call one batch a compete season. When you look up material on the web, it seems every writer has a different idea of where one season ends and another begins. It certainly does not help when the better cliffhangers seem to occur at what they call "mid-season" rather than the close of a season (this recent changeover from S7 to S8 being a prime example). We've all been conditioned from other soaps to believe the "big" cliffhangers are season-enders. If I had the opportunity to binge-watch the whole series again, I would have a bit of fun by documenting exactly how many days/weeks of these characters' lives the series covers. I have no firm proof, but I think (as of the most recent episode) Amanda has been dead less than six weeks, and the whole series covering about two months. I nearly fell off the couch when they depicted the passage of a full night in the most recent episode, with Hanna seen going home late, then a new scene with her at the Cryer mansion the next morning.
