La Lucci was really rockin' it today. Her scenes with Myrtle were probably the best work I've seen her do, period. She played Erica as a women finally coming to grips with the fact that the coping mechanism she has employed her whole life ( simply refusing to acknowledge pain/inconvenience/unacceptable truth) was crashing down around her. Instead of hair-shaking hysteria we got understated devastation, which IMO was much scarier and more appropriate. SL was probably more deserving of an Emmy in those five minutes than in every reel she's submitted since the last Ice Age.

Greenlee is utterly stupid. If Hannah had leveled that force ten glare at me, I would've killed over of a heart failure immediately, because that would be far more pleasant than what Lampert would probably have in store for me. Eek!



Heh. But that was definitive proof that Bianca was just about to really "take care of Kendall". You know how Erica has a 'Bianca's about to get some!' radar. Just ask Lena.



Hee! Yeah, Bianca definitely reverted back to the WhiteKnight!Binks of the Sarah era. Chivalry ain't dead y'all, it's just gone all pretty and incestuous now. Yes, I fear for my soul because I found today's Kinks offering head-spinningly romantic. Sigh...

You know, I think tomorrow's gonna be a "Watch through my fingers" day. Obviously Eden's raiding her vault of heartrending looks and I have such a low tolerance for people making Binky cry. I just don't know if I can handle watching Erica reach into Bianca's chest, pull out her heart, and stomp on it. Erica can ream Binks out all she wants about the lying (which will be ever so hypocritical) but if she makes Bianca cry about the baby... Well, everyone better just ignore my posts tomorrow. Grrrr!

Heh. Somehow I knew someone was going to catch that just as I was correcting my post...damn server lag. ;)


I agree. I think some of what was really hitting Erica is that she reveres her mother as having been an extremely wise woman, and she'd like to feel that she's as good of a mother as Mona was. And yet there's the mother-daughter thing in reverse: This time the daughter figured out reasonably early on that she was pregnant, and accepted the reality immediately, while the mother stuck her head in the sand for nearly five months refusing to see her daughter was still pregnant.


Hee. I was thinking the same--I certainly felt like I needed to start drinking to get through Erica's continually repeating that line. She took the entire episode to get around to finally admitting the truth to herself, too. When it wasn't "I don't understand" it was "Why do I still feel upset/conflicted/like screaming?" And wearing black for the talk with Bianca--how appropriate, Erica.


Not a lot, kariyaki, though there was probably more in the very beginning that I missed, but the death glare she shoots Greenlee while telling her not to leave is not to be missed.

And while I adore the snarky judge, I have to admit to being kind of relieved that the entire Exeter/Livia/judge mistrial argument happened offscreen in her chambers. Poor Kendall just could not have taken any more today. It was bad enough for her just hearing what had taken place with the judge when Livia returned to give her the bad news. I knew Kendall was going to get nailed for perjury and obstruction of justice. They are all in so much legal trouble now--Bianca, Boyd, Aidan, David, Ryan...not that I care about Ryan. Speaking of Ryan, I was really annoyed at him telling Kendall what to do. Shut up, Ryan. It's her life she's gambling with, it's her decision. All right, so he didn't sic Greenlee on her, but I hope she has something to say to him about leaving her at the courthouse while he goes off with Greenlee. David was there, he could have escorted Greenlee back to her place. Not that I mind because Kendall's true love was there to take care of her, but still. He's supposed to be her fiance.

Hey, it's a soap. You can't tell me that between Palmer, Adam and Erica, somebody doesn't have an in with the governor. Pardon 'em all, and let's get this over with.

We already knew we were going to hell, Mystic0. That reminds me, I spoke to Satan and asked if all the frequent flier miles we've racked up could be justification for a much larger and more comfy sled. I pointed out today's Kinks was the best ever and sure to attract a record crowd, so he agreed. Whee!

Seriously, that shit is not subtext. Heh.


Perhaps I'm just completely in denial, but I actually think tomorrow may go over well, at least as far as Bianca's reactions are concerned. I'm just not sure how high on her priority list her mother's opinion is right now. I mean, yes, she loves her mother very much and all, but at the moment her sister is facing a choice between death row and 10 years in prison, and Bianca's already committed to going away with her. I know that that isn't going to happen, but at the moment that is very much Bianca's mindset, that she's leaving town with Kendall the next day. Yes, originally she was going to leave town because of Erica and the baby, but I just don't see her sending Kendall off to a lonely life in exile even now that Erica knows. And so if Erica doesn't like the baby, well, from Binks's POV it doesn't matter that much. I just really didn't get from Bianca's facial expression today that she's really concerned about Erica's reaction. She knew it was coming (her comments to Lena) so she had time to prepare herself, and she just simply has more important things to worry about. Mentally, her bags are packed.

Oh, something non-Kinks--I totally snickered at Maggie's face at the thought first of calling David, and then of calling Bianca. She knew she'd look so completely pathetic in Bianca's eyes. Heh. Oh, Adam. I've said it once already, but I love him for having Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber arrested.

Holy Crap! How much of the show was cut off?? Stupid car chases. Don't they realize that they're dealing with the Kinks Sled to Hell???

The only thing David would've escorted was his foot up Greenlee's ass. Boy, was he unsympathetic to Greenlee's plight. Hee! I lurve David. But your right, it was way more David's place to get rid of Trollee than Ryan's.



Word to the third, man. Did you catch that little moment, right before Bianca's little "Lie down" speech, where Binks stepped up to Kendall's back? Holy depravity, that was disturbingly hot. Reminded me of the door moment during the DLoFE ep, when Kendall stepped up before Binky had opened the door. Only hotter. Heh. It's the small moments that further pave my path to hell. Anyways, thanks Pervy.

Yo, thanks for the good vibes about tomorrow's Bianca/Erica. Hopefully, Erica will be human for once.



Dude, I'm just snickering at this whole subliminal triangle thing.

Maggie: *hump* *hump* *hump*
Cut to Bianca, not giving a shit what Maggie's up to
Maggie: *kiss* *hump* *getting busted*
Cut to Bianca, not giving a shit what Maggie's up to
Maggie (to Jamie): Bianca can't know we were doing it in the limo!
Cut to Bianca, not giving a shit what Maggie's up to

I mean, really, they kept cutting from Maggie's ho-a-thon to Bianca, like *I'm* supposed to give a shit that a triangle is going on in Maggie's pea-brain enough to get the suggestive cutting of scenes. Damn, that girl is bugging me.

Ew, speaking of suggestive, Erica's "I need you, Bianca. I need you right now." was all kinds of wrong. We won't take just any incest Pervy! Ew!

The first 15-20 minutes is lost to the ages for Houstonians. I'm thankful to the Dark Lord for SoapNet.

Don't forget to thank the Man too, kariyaki, now that we know from the Blinding White Light that he's a Kinks fan too. Snerk.


Hee. Yeah, that cracked me up, along with Maggie's assumption that Bianca would even have time to bail her out anyway. All hell's breaking loose at the courthouse and Maggie's just oblivious to anything but herself.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if Maggie spent the night cooling her heels in jail, finally was bailed out by David or Brooke or somebody, and rushed back to the studio only to find that Binks has cleaned the place out and left a note: "I'm off to a secret and exotic locale with my girlfriend. No, the other one. (You must have figured it out, right?) Anyway, I know I said I'd call and write, but we're on the run from the police now, so it's a bit different. Bye, and don't worry about that silly kiss. I was thinking of Kendall the entire time."


You bet I did. Again, I really must damn Erica and her supersensitive radar. She already took hours to figure out that Bianca's still pregnant, she couldn't have taken a little longer?

I've been able to watch AMC for the last two weeks or so, and I'm really glad I have because it made today's show that much more interesting. Favorite scene? When Binks is standing on one side of Kendall and Reggie is on the other. Best, most crazy and interesting soap siblings ever. I'd watch a show about just that family.

Yeah, I think most everyone would watch a show about them. I personally would watch a show devoted to Kinks. All Kinks, all the time. That's my motto.

And just so I can prove that it's possible for me to talk about something other than Kinks, I also saw Greasy on ATWT. I don't think all ever stop missing him.

Yeah, the Kane/Montgomery clan is awesome. And we mustn't forget the pariah sibling: Greenlee. But it'll probably be some time before all four of them are standing next to each other amicably.

Bwahahahahahaha! Next time, warn me.

Myrtle was all kinds of hotness today and Kinks was all kinds of fun rides to hot hell and Greenlee was all kinds of midgety idiocy and Lena was all kinds of in need of a haircut and a place to live that's not her car.

I hope they show who she has to call to get out of jail and don't just have her show up somewhere free. Binks is at Erica's, David has a gun held on Adam. The only other person really in her life (even though she doesn't want her to be) is Lena. Will she have to suck it up and call Lena? You know Lena would come get her because a) she assumes Bianca would want her to and b) she would have something good to hang over Maggie's head. If Maggs is still "conflicted" she's not going to want Bianca to know why she was arrested, and she probably figures she has the suicide card to hang over Lena. Could be damn amusing.

I know I'm going to get shit for this, but here it is:I don't like Bianca. She's such a chickenshit now, that I can't even look at her. She knows Kendall wants Erica's approval and love more than anything, and she drags her into Babygate, watches her getting fucked over in court, and doesn't say a word. Why? Because Mommy is scary, and she'll never accept the baby. Boo-freakin'-hoo. Grow a spine, have your kid, and tell Erica to fuck off. The world doesn't revolve around La Lucci.

Just one point, Melvin Spelvin--the pregnancy scam was crucial to Kendall's defense. Whether Bianca should have told Erica the truth or not is a separate issue, but the pregnancy fiction is what was bolstering Kendall's whole marriage alibi. It had turned out to be a very good thing that Kendall took it upon herself to lie that she was pregnant until Greenlee wrecked everything. There's nothing Bianca could have done to help what happened in court today.

Solvay, I figured that Jamie would just get whichever of his parents bail him out to bail Maggie out also, but Maggie having to call Lena would be amusing. I'm sure Lena would be so thrilled at the Maggie/Jamie news that she'd probably offer to pay for a hotel room for next time.

See, Greenlee's behavior is why I can never, ever accept her as a character to root for. There's just something so...calculating to her cruelty. Because when it comes down to it, she is a selfish, horrible person. Everyone shunning her now is due to a little thing we like to call "karma, baby, karma". For all the terrible things she's done to Kendall/Erica/Bianca (one of whom has never done anything to her) and never been punished for, I don't mind her getting slammed for the one thing she didn't do on purpose.

It would be awesome if Maggie had to call Lena to bail her out. Delicious!

It's true that the pregnancy scam was crucial to Kendall's defense, but it became so only after Kendall rushed in to help Bianca keep the non-abortion a secret: I don't believe it was ever part of the original plan.

We've gone back and forth on whether Bianca is a coward and I'm on record, such as it is, with my intense dislike for her sugar-coated selfishness and insular thinking. I loathe the way she's treated - and continues to treat - Lena (yes, it's just the writers, blah blah) but there are days when I think the sun and the moon shine on her, too.

What's my point? I'm not sure. Oh, yes: consistency. Hee.

I just got to see today's show. Wow. Totally worth all the months of the who-done-it's to get to this moment: Kinks Undivided.

I love how Lena had a such a nice dress in her car and yet we never saw Lena wear it and it fit Kendall perfectly.

I was snickering the whole time that Greenlee was waving her tiny arms with the scrap of Kendall's hideous dress. Anyway, I don't feel sorry for Greenlee at all. She brought this all on herself. The reason no one clued her into to anything was because they knew the moment shit didn't go her way she would have blabbed the baby secret to the entire town just for spite.

I blame this whole shit on Ryan anyway. He's the one who stuck his big forehead into Kendall's business and exposed the body in the factory and started this whole ugly chain of events. I do hope that she dumps him pronto.

I am so glad that Aidan and Mia are done. Mia is a freaking moron worrying about her relationship when Kendall could go up the river for murder due to her and Greenlee's insecurities and jealousies regarding Kendall. I wish Aidan would run away with the Kinks.

Erica needs to watch out. She is no longer number one on Bianca's list. That shit was so hot when Bianca told Kendall that they were going to run away together. Especially since Lena and Maggie were not even on her radar. Her only focus was comforting Kendall. When Bianca told Kendall to lay her head down and rest, I was totally expecting Bianca to sit with Kendall on the couch and have Kendall lay her head on her chest until 'Mother' called and interrupted a potential brainstorming session.

I also love how fiercely protective Reggie is now of his two 'sisters'. This show just keeps pushing the perv-o-meter to new heights.

I also thought it was hilarious how Adam was trying to erase all evidence of Jermie from his Limo. Dude, just drive that thing to GH and have it torched.

And damn but I found David so freaking hot holding that gun. Not that he doesn't look hot any other day but Day-um.



edited because I can't spell or string together coherent sentences in my excitement over today's eppy.

*Gasp* Blinded by the rack. Can. Do. No. Wrong.

Great googly, moogly, my belief that Kinks exists was proven right today without a shadow of a doubt. And I'm not even talking about the obvious eye shagging. Or the running off into the sunset together, and being "tucked in". Or the fact that when the two of them are in a room together, everyone else seems to disappear. Oh, wait, yes I am talking about all that. But it was the subtle things. One I noticed was in the courtroom, when Bianca just brushed Kendall's arm, as if to say "It's ok, my love....er, sister, I'm right here for you".

Good times.

It almost makes up for the assness of Greenlee. She just needs to grow her hair a little longer, and straighten it more, and McTrash will get her wish of turning back the clock to the time that Greenlee first wanted Ryan. Because that seems to be what she's shooting for. Years of lovely character development, all down the drain.

I agree with this so much. La Lucci really is best with the small stuff. Quiet determination, resolve, acceptance. She really does shine with that type of writing as opposed to the histrionic scenery chewing they have her play most of the time. When they need her to speed it up and do the quick anger stuff, she can't find the lines quickly enough and tends to throw in a lot of "I mean"s while she searches her database looking for the next line. She loses credibility and it has made her a soap laughing stock, even though she is, to me, the quintessential soap Diva. And as Lucci has stated herself, Erica, Erica Kane really is one of the best roles ever created for an actress. That is, created by Agnes Nixon and when she was the head writer of the show. Erica is always a big joke when written by McTrash or anyone else that can't understand her.

::sniff:: Aww. I wish Kinks really would take Palmer up on his offer and get the heck out of dodge. And it would be lots of fun if they took Aidan and Boyd with them. Can't you see them relaxing on a beach somewhere drinking mai tai after mai tai? Ahhhh....so much pretty.

Can I get an Amen! I've already voiced my Bianca hate but man, it just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside when someone else goes on record as disliking she of Retina-searing Halo and Beatific Smile of Divine Resignation.

And while I'm here can I just add how completely jackassy the preview for tomorrow looked with Ryan's "I'll give you 30 seconds to take back what you just said." ultimatum to Kendall. Yeah, 'cause 1930s crotchety school marm style threats really go over big. He should have tacked a "young lady" on the end for good measure.

Right on, I love Reggie. I look forward to when he gets a SL of his own (He's pretty much the only one in the teen scene now, right? Does AMC still do the teens-in-the-summer soap logic thing?). Bring back Joanie!



Mmmm....David. I hope he keeps his renewed tie with the Kanes and I really hope he stays away from that walking petri dish Krystal.



Bwah! We'll see if the rack works on Erica. Hey, maybe that's why Binky's the most favored child. Who knew Erica was a breast woman? Hmm, Bianca doesn't seem to be. Those curious Kanes...



She's certainly the most famous soap entity ever. I bitch endlessly about Erica but I couldn't imagine the show without her or Lucci. Even when I really try. ;)

Here's a BWAH! for you, Black Knight. That letter to Mags was a trip. I hope Bianca wears something cute for you tomorrow as a reward.

Just to go a little OT, but did anyone see the Friends episode tonight with incestuous Ross and Monica? First Kinks and then this...man, you guys are just taking over the world.

You know what, on my rewatch I saw one small, but hopeful sign for Greenlee. Jack's ripping into her some more, bringing up how she trashed his wedding to Erica and calling her a willful, spoiled child. And this time, instead of doing the same whining and lashing back that she's been doing for two episodes nonstop, Greenlee puts Jack's criticism aside and asks how she hurt Bianca. Well, it's not much, but it's a start.


The funny thing about that dress is that, in terms of character, the Punisher got a couple of things right and one big thing wrong--it was right that the sleeves and the hem were just a bit too long, since Lena's taller than Kendall, but the neckline was all wrong. Lena never wears anything that low-cut.

I saw The View--poor Alicia, sick and still having to tape that day at AMC. And I've never had green tea, but I'll take Alicia's word for how it keeps one's energy level up more than any other spokesperson I can think of. Now we know how she keeps up with her hefty work schedule. Also, I think I may be a little too into AMC, because when Rebecca said, "I own Fusion", I thought, "No, you don't, and even when you did, you owned it jointly with Kendall. Jointly!"


Hee. Well, the pregnancy pad is throwing the overall look off a bit, but I'm still quite happy to see her in a white tank tomorrow. ;-)

Having rewatched on Tivo, I really can't decide which Kinks moment is my favorite--Bianca sweeping Kendall through the gauntlet of reporters, or that other totally couple-y thing of coming up behind Kendall, turning her around (any other couple, that would have been a kiss right there), looking deep into her eyes and promising to take care of her while standing way close. Ah, Kinks. In addition to the subtle bit katesus7 pointed out--Bianca really went out of her way to keep reassuring Kendall physically, heh--I also liked when Kendall went into her apartment like a zombie, saying, "What do I do now?" and Bianca said very pointedly, "What do we do now?" Very reminiscent of the last time Kendall tried to take everything on herself and Bianca emphasized that Kendall isn't alone--yes, the infamous "We're together, always" line. Poor Kendall is so shell-shocked right now, but before the phone rang there was a glimmer of relief in her eyes at the fresh confirmation that Bianca will always be there for her.

I also remembered on the rewatch that the judge gave Kendall 48 hours to decide what option she's going to take. You know how deadlines work on soaps. No doubt Bianca's going to spend the 48 hours--after she and Kendall decide not to leave town after all (waaaah)--banging her head against a wall trying to get her memories to come back in full, which will probably happen one second before the 48 hours are up.

Speaking of Alicia's remedy of the slow-downs:

SSSNNNIIIIIFFF!! It does wonders, I can attest.

And considering that Bianca did, in fact, have "leading man" status for the entire eppy, that squicked me out. Big. Time. Plus, I was hoping that we'd get to see some fore-brainstorming. Damn. You. Erica. And. Your. Fucking. Epiphany. You couldn't wait like, another hour before pulling your head out of your ass? Feh.

Oh, has this been the Kinkiest week in the history of humankind, or what? Oh, the hotness. The hotness. I'm still all Kinksed up and it's been nine hours, y'all. I don't know how much more my poor heart can take. Still too Kinksed up to make sense. . .I'm so Kinksed up right now I'm but a heartbeat away from selling my possessions, disowning my family and travelling around the world wearing a toga and carrying a staff, preaching the Gospel of Kinks. And Bianca's walk-up to Kendall's back? *shudder* Yeah, it ain't subtext no more. And Alicia and Eden know exactly what they're doing. Pervy, little wonderful, gorgerous freaks that they are. [/gushing]

ETA:



I flat-out hated that dress. I thought it made Kendall look like Joseph Stalin's concubine.



IIRC, doesn't Bianca take a half-step forward right after she spins Kendall around, so that for a brief moment it appears as though she's going to draw her into a kiss? Ooooo!

Since people have been lamenting the loss of Joni, I would like to launch a complaint about how Borie, fucking Borie got written out of the show with an entire Very Special Episode about alcoholism featuring the damn Martin family, and Joni got jack. I think she was abducted by aliens.

On rewatching tonight on SoapNet, I caught a good Jack moment. After the whole dress ripping incident, while Bianca was standing with Kendall, he pushed up the dress on Kendall's shoulder and tucked his jacket up on her in a completely non-creepy way. It was very Awwwww. He loves Erica's demented children.

You know when Myrtle's making "tea" she actually means something along the lines of "lemonaide". That car ride and Erica prattling about "I don't understand" can only be tolerated so long.

Oh, I complained. I complained vehemently. I will continue to complain about Borie's Swansong while Joanie disappeared into the ether. It's un-fucking-believable.

Not only did Borie get a Very Special Episode, but that was actually a pretty big subplot that was heavily featured in several episodes. Gah.


I rewatched just now and was paying attention to Erica's lines to see if she said anything else. Nope, it's three "I don't understand"s in a row. One to Kinks, one to Jack, then she meekly walks out, and when we next see her, entering her penthouse with Myrtle, it's "I don't understand" again. Boy, her power of denial is just unbelievably strong. And Myrtle is patient, but not that patient, so I figure she must've had earplugs in her ears during the car ride.

Yay, onewomanshow has thrown her two cents in. I was wondering where you were the last couple of days!

On my latest rewatch I noticed a couple more bits of subtle stuff that show how in tune with each other they are. First, when Erica's walking out, Bianca's got one hand on Kendall's shoulder, and Kendall's weeping softly. Then Kendall ducks her head in Bianca's direction ever so slightly, and at the same time Bianca brings up her other hand to wrap around Kendall's other shoulder. Aww. And in the Kinks/Livia scene, after Kendall gets up saying she can't deal right now, as she goes to walk out Bianca pulls the chair out of her way. And the chair wasn't obviously blocking Kendall--it was only over an inch too far or so, but Bianca's just so completely focused on Kendall that she notices and moves it. Aww again. Word to Bianca being all chivalrous and "leading man" today. I also liked how, when Bianca first rushes to Kendall and hugs her, Kendall can't hug back because of the jacket, so she puts her chin down on Bianca's shoulder instead. Sniff. Yes, I'm pathetic.

Oh, and I'm still giggling insanely every time I see the bit with the police taking Maggie and Jamie away. It serves them right, especially after Maggie was whining about going to jail, being a jailbird, when it's only a minor offense and someone she knows is on trial for her life. Another "giggling insanely" moment for me--okay, normally I hate Grabby McHands Frankenbrow and his caveman shit with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns, but I really, really enjoyed watching him haul Greenlee out of the courtroom.

Which begs the question: why the hell is Myrtle driving? The woman is over 80, right? We took my grandmother's car when she was in her 70's, when she had really bad judgement.

So, I finally got to see the dress-shredding antics go down today, and whoa. That was insane. I liked the volcanic sort of buildup they had to it, with the cutting back and forth between Kendall on the stand and Greenlee outside the door growling "LIAR!" with increasing intensity after each lie Kendall told, until she finally exploded and, well, you all know the rest.

One random little moment that I loved -- when the judge ruled that the prosection would be allowed to put Lomax on the stand, they cut over to Kendall, and gah! Alicia was working the most heartbreakingly defeated look, as though she was about to completely lose her shit and burst into tears. Love that girl.

And even though I probably shouldn't have, I did feel for Greenlee at least a little bit. Granted, she's done some truly fucked up things, and she did albeit briefly consider unleashing Lomax on them herself, it really wasn't her fault that it happened. It must really suck to have a twisted version of the "boy who cried wolf" effect bite you in the ass one of the few times you don't have it coming. (And can I just say that Rebecca was working the sad puppy eyes for all they were worth? I think that may have helped some too. Yeah.)

Based on the comments for today's episode, tomorrow (for me) should prove to be quite interesting. Sounds like I'm in for the Kinkiest Kinks that ever Kinked. Bring 'em on!

Oh, and speaking of those fabulous Kinks girls, I found some cute quotage in the latest SID. They rounded up Eden, Alicia and Alexa to discuss what it was like to wear a pregnancy pad and pretend to be pregnant (and even took pictures of them sporting pregnancy pads, hee). Anyway, here are the Kinks-related snippets:





Awww.

Wow. Kinks.



Seriously, indeed. Sure, y'all corrupted me and I hopped merrily onto the Biggest Sled in the World, but today was Kinks totally out of control for all the world to see. I agree with every Kinks observation about today. This date should be celebrated every year. It's Kinks Day. The day when Kinks left the subtext behind.

This is totally OT but it made me laugh because I've been in the car with my 85 year old grandpa while he drives, and I pray and pray as I've never prayed before. Plus, Myrtle is probably driving drunk a good deal of the time.

I also noticed Jack delicately trying to fix Kendall's dress. I like him.

I want an Aidan of my very own.

I loved Boyd going off to get drunk. I'm sure Myrtle hauled ass to join him, downing shots for each time Erica said, "I don't understand."

You know Boyd and Myrtle were off hitting the bottle after today. Especially after Myrtle was adamant about them as a couple at Thanksgiving. [Raising Arizona] Say that reminds me, why is everybody still referring to Kendall Hart Cambias. Technically, she married Boyd, so she's Kendall Hart Larraby, which cracks me up to no end [/Raising Arizona]. Poor Boyd, always neglected.

There is no technicality about which married name Kendall should have. The whole thing was a fraudulent marriage and doesn't count. It's not like Boyd gave his real name when they filed the marriage license.

Like days when Rebecca is embarrassing herself on national TV talking about Bachelor Bob, I bet.


Given that the words "big sister" were today used in the overt-text scene in the apartment, in conjunction with the new Kinksed phrase of "take care of you", and that Bianca'd been hella nurturing all ep long, I'm sure y'all can imagine where my mind went reading that. Snerk.

If I had to pick between Myrtle and I-don't-understand ZombieErica, Myrtle would be my choice of driver. Even if she were drunk. Erica looked like she could barely walk out of the courtroom.


They'll have to get the marriage annulled, but for now Kendall's still "married" to Michael Cambias. Greenlee disproved the pregnancy, but not the marriage entirely. The judge wouldn't allow Fred's testimony.

The name he actually gave doesn't mean anything. She is married to Boyd no matter what he called himself. If she actually thought he was Michael she could have it annulled due to fraud, but since she entered into the marriage knowing full well who he was they are legally married and will either have to have it anulled for another reason or get a divorce.

Bwa, yes. Maybe that's why Alicia bailed on The View today. She was back at the set getting some "nurturing" from Eden. Rebecca had definitely better keep an eye on those two.

Speaking of which, that whole View thing was rather disappointing. Luscious was a no-show, and did I blink and miss it, or was there really no Rebecca segment of the makeover process? What was that all about?

And, to be completely random, I realized today that I've been pronouncing "Alicia" wrong all along (well, in my head, I mean). I had always just assumed it was "uh-lee-sha," as seems to be most common (or perhaps even "uh-lee-see-ah," as in Silverstone). Imagine my surprise when Rebecca, while gushing some loving concern for her sick girlfriend, pronounced it "uh-lish-ah." Oops.

Except that Michael Cambias is legally dead, thus dissolving the marriage. And if Kendall and Boyd are legally married, no matter what names they give, how does that work now that it's all revealed? Who goes back and changes names?


Heh, yeah, I found this out when I met her. We actually kind of bonded over that because my aunt has the exact same name, pronuncation and all and it gets misprounounced often. My aunt is the only person Alicia has heard of that pronounces her name the same way. And vice versa.

You marry the person not the name. You could walk into a courthouse tomorrow and get a marriage license that said your name was Kendall Hart (assuming you had the proper fake ID) and marry someone under that name; however you, kariyaki, would still legally be married to that person even once it was discovered that you used a fake name. Boyd wasn't Michael Cambias; therefore, it is the same as if he had married Kendall with the name John Smith. Michael's death has no bearing whatsoever on Kendall and Boyd's marriage. Again, if she wasn't aware that Boyd wasn't who she said he was she could sue for an annulment based on that fact but she would still be married to him.

As for the annulment or divorce proceedings they would simply acknowledge in the documents that Boyd was using an alias when he got married.

Question: who/what/where is/are the aforementioned SID and PBP (I think) sites/whatever they are?

My vcr is really ticking me off. Is there a site with free photos and/or clips? I squinted through the fuzz and made out the basics, but I did miss some choice parts. On the plus side, He came through with a moment of clarity during the 'let's run away together scene' at Binky's house. *sigh* He is definitely on our side here people.

Okay, that's what I asking, someone's got to go and change some paperwork, right? Man, I'd hate to be the bureaucrat in charge of straightening up fraudulent marriages.

Well, I've officially stayed up way too late. I was trying to finish Wednesday's recap. Thankfully, I was successful.

Wow. I finally got a chance to watch the past couple of episodes. You guys have said it all already, but this stuff...this is what I call great soap opera.

I. Love. Snarky Judge. I wonder if there's a way for them to keep her around.

So don't care about Maggie, but I was dying when Adam called the cops on her and Dumbo there. Also loved him wiping off the seat.

Hoping today is another rip into Greenlee day. Actually, my big hope is that someone slaps Mia upside the head again. That never gets old.

I'll also second the information about marriages with fake names. She and Boyd are married. Doesn't matter what names they gave.

Erica's stillness really frightened me yesterday. It reminded me of Hannibal Lector. I was so sure she was going to say, "Hello Clarice" to Bianca.

My sister was home yesterday and watched the show for the first time since December. Her comments to me were as follows, "What the hell is going on with this show? Nothing makes sense. How do you watch it everyday? I've only watched it once and now I'm mad". I felt like screaming the Kinks man! But, decided against it.

Hee. It is sort of tough to explain to non-viewers that "Really, I only watch it for the pseudo-incestual, lesbian relationship between Bianca and Kendall. That's the best part of the show!", isn't it? For whatever reason, they just don't seem to understand the pull of Kinks.

I just started watching for the first time at the beginning of December and I got sucked right in (I took some time off of work and now I'm back to work and struggling to remember to pop a tape into the VCR everyday). I never noticed all the Kinks action before I read about it here and now I can't watch scenes with Binks and Kendell without thinking Kinks and laughing! It's really, really distracting.

You're not alone. I missed this yesterday, and now I'm gonna be all mad cause I can't rewatch it until late tonight.

mirashima, if you thought Alicia looked heartbreakingly defeated in that ep, wait until you see yesterday's ep today. Kendall's just shell-shocked, man. She couldn't even summon up one nasty word to fling in Greenlee's direction.

Actually, now that I think about it, Kendall and Erica's demeanors really had a lot of similarities. Erica so zonked that she couldn't even stand in the courtroom and say anything other than "I don't understand" to Kendall and Bianca--she had to go back to her penthouse and take forever to finally let herself put the pieces together (but yet not quite long enough that she didn't interrupt Kinks, dammit!)--and Kendall so zonked that she couldn't say a word to anyone except Bianca and Livia for like half the episode. Like mother, like daughter. Bianca had the same shell-shocked demeanor right after Voldemort, too.


The PBP is done on Olga's board. You can find it here: PBP Every episode has two versions--there's the live one that's done in real time, which runs on for pages because other posters comment throughout, and then there's a summary transcript posted after the ep is over that's just the PBP, no posters' comments. It isn't an exact transcript, but it'll give you the basics of the scenes--except for the Lena parts, which are generally verbatim. Hee.

I know I already commented on it, but I must ask again: Are we to take Kryan's relationship seriously at all? Not only did he leave Kendall alone at the courthouse, but even before that, he never went to Kendall to comfort her or help cover her up or anything. And for all that Ryan expressed lots of concern and anger with Greenlee over Kendall ending up on death row, he just seemed kind of detached about it, somehow. There was no "the woman I love could be executed, when we were supposed to be getting married" vibe there. Granted Cam Math is a mediocre actor, so it's probably completely unfair of me to compare his performance to Eden's, or Aiden's for that matter. But I just find it sad that Kendall's so stuck on this guy. She obviously loves him much more than he loves her (though she doesn't love him as much as her girl--er, sister, heh), and it's just damn sad. Dump him!


Bwah, luv2surf! I'm glad to hear He came through for that one.
