So, in general, how did you feel about the show? Susan Flannery (Stephanie of Bold & Beautiful) was supposed to have directed today's show.

I read somewhere that she worked with Kim Zimmer a lot for this episode.

All in all, I didn't think it was any worse than usual. Kim seemed quite giddy today - I know it was supposed to be because of hormones.

Susan was also supposed to have spent a lot of time directing Crystal Chappell on today's show too. And I thought Crystal, as usual, did a very good job.

You know, this makes me long for a scene with Reva and Stephanie in it, facing off each other. I think that would be great! Can't you just see it? Stephanie looking down her hoity toity nose at Reva and Reva going all wild child on her? Who do you think would win? I vote for Reva .

Now that would be a good idea. lol. I vote for Reva - she would definitely win. 'Course I really like Reva.

I think they'd both wind up collapsed on the floor laughing! Which would be fun for Steffers, and a welcome change from what SHE is used to! Going from Slut from the Valley to the Slut of Springfield! fee

It was fine, but I wouldn't say it was any better than usual. Reva was funny, especially with the hormones crap. But she ticked me off with her not letting Alex make a reservation. I could see had it been Alan! But Alex? What has Alex done to Reva? Thanks for telling us this was the episode! I had been waiting for it, and then forgotten about it!

me, too, (looking forward to SF and forgot about it) I have only been watching sparsely over the past three weeks, but it was the best of those I've seen recently. I'm no Alex fan so it didn't bother me that she was shut out, but I think that Reva did it for pure fun, not spite. vh

Ya know, that might be! Just Reva being Reva!!! fee

The actors are good & capable. SF is a very capable director. But all of them still have to work with the crap provided & w/specific mandates that pretty much take away any potential for steller, standout episodes. I love seeing actors get involved behind the camera, but they have just so much wiggle room & have to deal w/being micro-managed, as though they don't know their job(s)!
