Melrose Place - Gower, S01E08

UGH...And I committed last week to watch until Ashley Simpson-Wentz and Colin Egglesfield left...well folks, we'll see, cause if I hadn't decided that was the end date, this episode would have been...well...Ella (Katie Cassidy) and Lauren (Stephanie Jacobsen) closed the episode with a touching and honest moment between them. Shows that when the two truly talented actors on the show play off each other, it can, in fact, go well.

We spent most of the episode in the drama of Jonah (Michael Rady) and Riley (Jessica Lucas)'s relationship issues. Who the hell cares. They were the couple who started the show by getting engaged, it's not like they are going to last, they're not even going to make it to the wedding night at this rate. And again, I really don't care.

Lauren even got a little eye-rolly when she turned down Ella's offer of $50 000 to fake some medical documents and cover up a drug story on one of Ella's clients. Lauren can compromise her body, but not her medical ethics. And it's sort of a good thing; that would have been a boring end to the hooker story line.

Finally, Auggie (Egglesfield) got his ass fired from Coles, and finally took Violet (Simpson-Wentz)'s hint and bedded her...well, it was on his living room floor.

So, yeah, bad episode really. Cancel it so that Katie Cassidy and Stephanie Jacobsen can go act on something worth while.
