Thanks. Soapcentral has AR-T being gone before this point. I didn't think that was quite right, and it wasn't. I think her last may be with Kirk around the time Diego is killed. They're in the Kasnoff house. Then Susan Batten shows up the next day wearing the same clothes. KMH did a good job with playing Emily's shock (and the music in that first scene at her mother's house is also a good choice)...until it gets to her ripping off her blouse and splashing water on herself. I know what the idea was supposed to be, but it just feels exploitive. Lucinda's password is SHAWL? And her screenname is WWW? I find that hard to believe...then again no one in Lucinda's entourage seemed all that technologically adept. The shakycam works in the scenes where Bob sees John coming out of surgery. In the office scene it reminds me too much of The City and those last few years of GL that were, as some fans said at the time, more like Hostel than soap. Don Hastings again does a great job here, especially when he breaks down to Tom. What a terrific, underrated actor, time and time again. I must say I can't see Kim ever making kites and flying kites. Telling someone to go fly a kite - yes. Barbara saying "kiddo" made me smile. That Mark/Connor scene is like attack of the expository dialogue. Again the Lucinda/Holden scenes were quite good, especially when they actually talked, which they'd never done throughout the years. Good writing and acting all around. Diego getting shocked was hilarious.
For me Emily's exploitation comes from having her exposed to Diego so soon after the rape. You'd think he'll do it again in the next episode! The tone is incredibly off. It's like Bronson Picket is forced to play a typical boogey man while KMH is playing a traumatized victim. He simply isn't believable as someone depraved enough to thoroughly break a person's spirit. This is after giving Emily ample opportunity to report him, with scratches on his face and in Susan's house to boot. Not much finesse from the writers there.
Oakdalian I think they were a little too focused on the shock value element. And then there's having a sex scene (or close enough) in this with Connor down to her bra, as Diego is menacing Emily in her bra. At least those scenes weren't juxtaposed. I also had a hard time believing a master criminal would need Emily to learn Lucinda's password. Maybe he was just trying to scare her, but it's a huge risk.
Ken George Jones The focus was clearly on how bad Diego could be and eventually who got rid of him. The lives he changed along the way, especially Emily's, were absolutely second fiddle to the shock value. I could buy the password as a device if he had to use it at Worldwide, thereby risking an encounter with Jane (who he's writing the email to). Unfortunately she was a distant memory at this point. Ultimately nothing at Susan's house makes sense because she could walk in any minute.

Thanks.

I must say it was nice to see Susan's kitchen. I don't think we saw it very often. (was this the Stewart house? I never can remember by this point)
