My thoughts exactly ! She reminded me of the lizards from Super Mario Bros. movie. Bad move on the hair and make-up dept. Which brings me back to Phil's greasebowl that doubles as hair! It (the hair) doesn't move when he moves his head. It just annoys me so much for such a good looking young man. :puke: |

Well, now if that's explained onscreen, then it makes MUCH more sense and is understandable. I just thought it was an odd way to present it today. |

I think it would've been better if we had seen the actual discovery. There would've been so much dramatic impact that way. Instead, with them writing it like this, I just find myself annoyed that they're still playing the "Mickey's in the next room but nobody can see him" game. |

But how can you if you don't have the actor? If he had been able to come back, I think you would've seen the discovery and more. They may have even played out a long goodbye scene. The way it's presented tomorrow is that Spoiler: click to toggle

Body double. Don't show the face. Not that hard. |

They could've had a body double on the floor (or the bed) facing away from the camera so we couldn't see their face. When Maggie starts doing CPR, just show her face and the chest compressions and then cut away before mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. It wouldn't have been that difficult. I just wanted to see Maggie's reaction to the initial discovery. I think it would've been powerful. |

Full bodydouble would be weird. I suppose they could make a scene where Maggie enters the bedroom, the camera focuses on her face as she goes from happy to sad, we donīt know why, and next there is a detail on Mickeyīs cold hand hanging over bed and Maggie entering the frame and craddling it, but Iīm not even sure Maggie/Mickey have some usable bedroom set and creating new for just one scene simply isnīt in the budget. We are happy to see the living room. I think Tomīs dead was done the same way. I donīt remember weīd seen Alice finding his body either. Edited by jane1978, Jan 7 2010, 04:08 PM.

Body doubles aren't weird at all. Stop making excuses. The scene definitely would've been perfect if John Clarke could've returned. Since that was impossible, the next best thing would've been to have a body double. Let us just see from the chest down, or maybe a limp arm. Whatever. OLTL did it when Nigel found Asa and it made the scene so much better and more effective. I'm not saying that I'm pissed about the way the scene was handled, because I'm not, but lets not try to make up excuses just to suit the show and say that a body double would've been a bad idea. Because it wouldn't. It would've been the next best thing after not being able to get Clarke back. |

As it was done today, it was almost like Maggie DID discover Mickey in bed with someone else or left her a note saying he was flying the coop or something. Very strange. I agree with the body double. It would have been more powerful. A hand, an arm......something. The Maggie/Lexie thing was sort of out of left field, but I guess since Maggie volunteers there so much, it makes sense. That was a nice little scene. Re: today: Teasers for Brady and Nicole! Darn. Arianne Z. played it well to the end. Ditto Nicole and Chloe's scenes. I love it when Nadia is able to emote. Arianna (the character. That gets me confused sometimes!) was doing the scarf thing. It's an epidemic. I know scarves are the style, but the thicker kind that you wear outside? Maybe in the Midwest, we do things differently. (Hey, wait, they ARE supposed to be the Midwest.) Sami/EJ/PatrickStar (errr, Rafe. Damn, I'm going to have fun with this!): Just.....What? What? Blather, blather. Taylor S. doesn't have what it takes to be a little shit. I do like Gabi. Good for her. EJ and Anna..........can't wait! I'm interested in the interaction tomorrow. |

Oh man the death happened today?! What part of the episode does it happen? I have to go somewhere and need to know if I can catch that part on Soapnet tonight at 6. |

It was near the end of the episode. Maggie came walking into the kitchen looking upset, then she sat at the table and started fidgeting with her wedding ring as she sobbed silently. |

It's not the last scene, but it's like third to the last scene. They show Maggie reacting to what she just found and then it goes to Sami and Rafe, and then EJ and Anna. |

Thanks Kenny and Drew, I'll be able to catch it. This thread blew up, so I haven't bothered to read through it, so Nicole was really sentenced to 20 years? Was there like an early release for good behavior deal set up or something like that? |

I thought the last Maggie scene was subtle, but it got the point across. We didn't get hysterics from Alice when she went upstairs to check on Tom. Phoenix's explanation means Friday's show should be really good when it comes to Maggie. Can't wait to see it. |

I missed most of today's episode due to a Special Report so all I saw was Maggie enter the kitchen, sit down and start crying. She did a lip blow thing and I ate it up, got some goosebumps. Nicole's plea to everyone to keep on truckin' was laughable and arrogant, as if everyone is sitting on their thumbs (ok, they kinda are) and now that she speached them they'll find Sydney. The only time I enjoyed EJ was when he was rolling his eyes, otherwise his behavior is weird. Bricole have some chemistry but they are killing it with having them be star crossed lovers all along, it just doesn't ring true for them. Chloe and Nicole's friendship is bothersome. They are laying on Mia's bitchyness too thick. I like Gabby as the wide eye innocent girl. Edited by Halloween Family, Jan 7 2010, 05:53 PM.

I thought Maggie looked....lost. As someone who suddenly lost a close family member a couple years ago, I can identify with her reaction. She's stunned, in shock...this is going to be difficult to watch, but SR should be amazing. The scarf epidemic is very distracting. As is Sami's horrible, horrible hair. Who's doing hair and wardrobe there--Theo and Ciara? |
