To think it only took poisoned pancakes and an arterial bleed to bring Dixie and Tad back together. 
I was loving the action the last couple of days. I know there are a lot of you that feel otherwise but to see a larger use of the cast was a hit for me.
Take Josh’s entrance and scene stealing moment. He had little or no dialog but he leaned in and hugged his grandparents who were waiting on news of Tad was priceless. Dixie tormenting Adam to tell Tad the truth and the fallout that will be fueling s/l for the next several months was on the mark with “Ghost” Dixie’s arrival. Also, reusing that GH: Nightshift rooftop special effects and set was a great idea as well.
I know, I know…but Angie and Jesse deserve to be happy. Sure but during sweeps we got a wedding, a death, a near death, the capture of a bad guy, Jake finding his purpose in life, a break-up of a couple and a friendship, a secret revealed, a secret about to be revealed, a ghost, and after life experience, young folks hitting the sheets, an introduction of a new character and the bringing into the s/l some of our favorite characters whom we do not get to see nearly enough. For me this was all great soap stuff. Reminiscent of the old days before McT brought Ryan back from really bad acting classes!
I’d like the show to use more of the hospital set. They should bring back the solarium where the denizens gather and wait for friends, test results, family and a slew of other things. ATWT use this type of set to great advantage in the 90’s. They had the cafeteria and the lounge sets where the doctors and nurses ran into each other on break. Not everyone was a doctor or a nurse. Iva Snyder worked in the administration department and Nancy and Ellen would be there working on fund raising activities. Plausible and convenient so it works on many levels.
I can’t wait for Beth Elhers to arrive in the Valley. 
I’ve loved Beth as Harley Davidson Cooper on GL for as long as I can remember. At least 3 Alan-Michael’s ago. She’ll be such an asset. I think all the hullabaloo about her possibly being cast as Liza Colby are unwarranted. With Colby in town it makes perfect sense to bring back Liza and since Marcy Walker is digging her post AMC/Acting life I say bring Liza back. In an ideal world we all want to see the face we associate with the character but sometimes its just not workable. 
Look 
at Lee Meriweather as Ruth Brent Martin. Ruth was a primary fixture in PV and when Mary Fickett wanted to retire they brought in Lee to pinch hit and we love her as Ruth almost as much as Mary who originated the role.
I know I’m in the minority but right now I think AMC has been the best right now than in the last five years and I have for the first time real hope for the future.
Here Endth My Rant!
