    Excellent, Well Written, Surprising hide show

    Only the Lonely ~ This was an excellent bridge episode, a lot is changing in these women's lives. Denise is getting ready to go back to Nursing, Claudia Joy has a daughter on the brink of full adulthood, Roxy and Trevor meet a young boy and his mother who is being forced to move off-base, and Pamela runs into an old flame. All this in ONE episode you say? Yes.
    There was a lot in this episode, and I really enjoyed it because bridges a few storylines. Jeremy is off for basic training, and the Jeremy/Amanda relationship storyline is winding down a bit, although we know it'll creep back up as Michael and Claudia Joy are trying to plan a vacation to get Amanda's mind off of Jeremy, (c'mon ... like that's going to work)
    It's a bit difficult to judge the time frames in this show sometimes, I mean, I can't believe that Pamela is getting so worked up about this guy, Scott, from her past if her husband hasn't really been gone that long. Although, I really enjoyed the cattiness from the woman running the day camp with Pamela's old buddy, Scott. Excellent storyline, and obviously all to true in life on an army base. I loved Pamela's brief and semi-crazy scream when she's alone in her house. It was pretty funny.
    I loved the storyline between Roxy and Delores. Roxy is so determined and helpful as well as cheery and upbeat. She rallies the 'troops' and gets things on the road for Delores. It was really poignant and well written.
    Roland Roland Roland, what to do with poor wandering Roland. I suspected that Pamela might give into temptation, so I was doubly shocked that Roland did. I did NOT see that coming. It was a pretty racy scene too.
    This was another excellent episode, lots of twists and turns, it keeps us guessing. I'm thoroughly enjoying this series. It's absolutely wonderful!

    Another great show! hide show

    A great classic show as well as great acting puts the show with great storylines. The Holdens, trying to get Amanda, away from the abusive Jeremy. Take a vacation. As family secrets begin to unfold. While Denise wants to start working again. Taking a job as a nurse. While we are introduced to a young pregnant widow. Who's husband got killed and she has only a very short time to move away by the Housing project. I really liked her a lot and hope she becomes a regular. As you could feel her pain.

    Rolen how could you. hide show

    The previous shows have been the best, though when i watched this episode it makes me so sick. That reporter was the skankiest person i have seen. Rolen is such a man whore.











    All lot of times things don't make me sick.many times i have actually laughed at all of things but when i tooned in it made me so sick. Joan did not decide to go to vermont so that Rolen can do things he's not supposed to do. Can't wait till Rolen gets enough strength to tell Joan of what he'd done. If he doesn't the that means that Jeremy is a bigger man than he is.

    Great episode. Definitely one of the biggest shocks so far this season. hide show

    I really liked this episode. I thought it was so stupid that they wouldn’t let Rolland play basketball, I mean come on it’s just a game! When he had sex with the journalist I was like OMG I can’t believe this, I mean that was literally the last thing I expected to happen, but that scene was so hott!!! Denise going back to school was an ok storyline; I dunno I just thought it was kinda boring. I feel really bad for Amanda’s dad because no one would go on his trip with him. I think that Amanda is such a brat; I don’t really like her that much. I have to say tho that I love Trevor and Roxy they are so cute together! When that little boy said that his dad died I wanted to cry, that part was so sad. I felt so bad for the mom; I probably wouldn’t want to move either. When Pamela ran into her friend at the art class, and that other lady kept staring that was really making me mad lol. I couldn’t believe that Pamela turned that guy down. I mean I’m glad she did but I really didn’t think that she was going to. The previews for next week look really good. I REALLY want to know what Claudia Joy did to get kicked out of Harvard. Lol I can’t wait!
