Loved all the reminiscing and nods to the past from Karl, Susan and Toadie - brought back memories, especially the 1996 turkey storyline! haha

Wow! What a fantastic first week back that was!! And,by the looks of the Promo,it's going to get MUCH better!!

Just watched the opening episode for 2010. Don't normally watch it, although i do look at the webpage and read the nicely detailed episode descriptions. One thing i'm confused about though, does Libby know that Dan and Steph slept together? I'm assuming not as she suggested moving in with Steph. I guess Steph felt betrayed by Libby for kissing Lucas?

Loved the stuff with the Ramsay kids tonight. Reminded me a lot of an early episode of Party of Five, which shouldn't be surprising. Glad to see that Roz was reasonable about it.

I enjoyed the Buffy reference, but if I want to be picky about it, which I do, Spike would have been a much better "bad boy" comparison than Angel, especially since Angel was long gone by the time Riley was around. Close but no cigar, writers! I do love the attempt though

^ Yeah, I thought the same thing. There were those crossovers with Angel in Season 4, though.

I was much amused by Kate not recognising Betty and Veronica, considering the whole time they were lampshading that trope: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BettyAndVeronica

I haven't caught that last couple of episodes so will catch up today, but I've gotta say the Todie/Steph storyline on Monday left me feeling a bit 'eeehh?' - it doesn't ring true for me; both Todie and Steph seem to be acting way out of character and making life so much harder for themselves. Why would Todie ditch Sonia for this stupid lie, I thought he had way more sense, unless of course he is doing it in hopes him and Steph will be drawn together again for real, if that is the case then I can understand his reasoning no matter how OTT his actions are. Steph on the other hand, to even consider pretending it is Max's baby, which she seemed willing to go along with before Summer turned up, is just out of character, I could imagine her rolling her eyes and being quite disgusted by someone else doing it. I get that she is desperate and it is creating controversy and storyline material/drama, but I think they could have gone about having the characters reach this point in a different way. I think I'd prefer it if we didn't get those flashbacks on Monday and we were left more in the dark about how they both came to this decision about lying. I've gotta watch the rest of the weeks episodes though to get a full grasp of whats going on I suppose..

A rip off of ''The Breakfast Club'',much?lol.

I love Summer.

I'd feel bad for Libby if she and Susan hadn't nagged him away but they did so no cigar.I can't wait for them to find out about Steph.Not only will it hit the fan but Toadie can stop being an arrogant tool and I can love him again.

I royally pissed off by Libby tonight: "Our marriage broke down because Dan couldn't get over his love for Sam." WTF was she talking about?! Dan left because whatever he had with Libby was dead. He did not go back to Sam, much as I would have loved that to have been the case.

Dan left mainly because Libby told him that she didn't love him anymore and wanted to end their relationship. I hate how Libby is parading round as if she's the innocent party when she's the one who ended it.
