My Mom told me yesterday that they're back. My sister is in 10th grade and likes to wear skirts with them.

I'm going to have a talk with her. She should learn lessons from the bad decisions of my generation. Blech!

Next, it'll be headbands again with the legwarmers!

OT--but VH1 is showing a movie they produced called "Totally Awesome"..the descripton is about a brother and sister learning to cope at their new school after moving from PA to CA" (they were 1990--but close enough for a plot line)...and they have all the clothes, the "hip" vernacular, references to footloose (no dancing allowed), I'm thinking maybe those "Breakin'" movies, and some other 80s references.

It looked totally hilarious--you can show it to the kids and say---look..there's you!

 

[MrsKreamer]

Oh...and is Julie's friend Mae Whitman--or just someone who looks a tad like her?

I had to look her up, but yes, that was her!

I know Orson is a murderer, but he seems really good for Bree and her kids. He really seems to care about all of them. I don't know if it's all an act, but I really like them together.

I just said the same thing to my sister tonight. I know Orson is a crazy murderer and all, but he's really growing on me (even though I still miss Rex)but I think maybe he's met his match in Bree's family. I love the way she turns things around on him and leaves him standing there with that confused look on his face. I actually hope Marc Cherry figures out a way to keep Orson around, but I don't know how since we know for sure he ran over Mike Del Fino...but then again, Andrew ran over Mrs Solis and he's still around, so maybe.......

Next week we finally get to the "main character that gets shot in a hostage situation"......did they preview Danielle in that?? Maybe it's her?? She really doesn't have a "storyline" anymore......

 

[DisneyPhD]

Wasn't Nora the flaky roommate on "Saved by the Bell: The College Years"? She's the spittin' image of her and I can still here the nasally voice.

Yes.

I too thought this week was better. I agree I am starting to like Orson, I am hoping he is innocent somehow. I mean this is DH anything could happen.

What is the deal with Eddie and Mike carrying on it the hospital room. This is not a hotel room after all. Really, tell me one hospital room that is private. I don't think so, people walk in those rooms ALL THE TIME!

Edited to add that I just thought of something.

Orson tried to off Mike because he thought Mike had killed Monique (but it really was Laurie medcaf who did it (can't remember her name sorry.) That makes more sense. But why was Mike seeing her? He was with Susan. Still have to figure out that one.

 

[Poohbear123]

I think Lynette gets shot, and Her Hubby has to open the Pizza shop all by himself....

Why do you think they had the curtain pulled?

This whole Mike/Edie thing upsets me. I like that Susan went back to Ian because I think they are great together. But eventually Mike's going to realize that Edie isnt what she claims to be and then that's somehow going to screw with Susan again.

Now, I can't remember, were Mike and Susan back together when he was hit? I know she was always pining for him, but I couldn't remember if he was liking her again. Does anyone remember?

I think they were together, and had just gotten engaged or were going to get engaged. Something like that. Just when things were going right for Susan................... Noticed a pattern?

Yes, they were, he got mad when her X bought her and the DD a new house, and he had just goten the engagement ring for her, and was going to propose to her while she was at the travel trailer by a lake....she waited and waited, and thats when Orson hit him with his car as he was crossing the street...

Next week's episode looks like it may be pretty good. I really want to know what the story is with Mike/Orson/Monique.

 

[bubba's mom]

My question is this: if Orson and his golf buddy are such good friends, how did his buddy NOT know his mistress was Orson's wife?? Or is Monique and Alma two different people??

Monique and Alma are two different people. They do look alike though. But I had seen both actors before, so I was able to discern between the two. We know that Orsen was married to Alma and she and that one lady (Laurie Metcalf) were friends. Laurie Metcalf does not know Monique because she saw her in the morgue. We don't know what Orsen and Monique's relationship is though. Nor do we know Mike's and Monique's relationship.

 

[bubba's mom]

Monique and Alma are two different people. They do look alike though.

Thanks....I'll say they look alike....wow!!

 

[Imzadi]

Next week we finally get to the "main character that gets shot in a hostage situation"......

It's probably Susan. This way she ends up in the hospital in a room next to Mike & gets to visit him. Ian keeps visiting Susan & Mike gets jealous & can't figure out why...

Just found this thread......What about Nora getting killed and then Lynnette has to raise another child?

Do you think that Nora is considered a main character? I guess I see her more as a background character ... but what do I know?!?! Next week's episode s/b interesting to say the least!!!

I honestly thought that Monique and Alma were the same person!!!! I was thinking maybe she was a Jekyll/Hyde type ... Monique to some and Alma to others. Guess I was wrong on that guess.

 

[MrsKreamer]

Anyone else notice
Orson has a definite thing for Red Heads!

 

[Tiffer]

You just may be a genius!

I did too. They just looked so much alike!

 

[bubba's mom]

Thanks guys....now I don't feel so bad for thinking Monique and Alma were the same person!
