When we left off Friday, AJ cut his ankle bracelet off to race to Sam’s due to Tracy’s manipulation. Before he was handcuffed back to the police station, he met his new nephew Daniel and shared his hope that Jason is alive so that he can make amends for his past. I think apart of Sam believed him, whether she wanted to admit it or not. I just hope that they do not put them together. However, from the looks of it, they may be hinting at the possibility. A triangle with McBain in the making?

Robert, Elizabeth, and Olivia continued their trying to getting to the bottom of Olivia’s vision. They decided they needed more proof before saying anything to Anna. Robert is convinced Faison is behind this and will stop at nothing to find out for sure.

Anna and Faison as Duke shared a tender moment and kiss. Before things escalated, Anna held back. He seemed different she explained. Faison showed understanding. Frusrtration and anger soon gave way after she left. Of course things are different Anna. It’s not Duke! I really hope she goes with her instinct before it is too late. If Robert and Luke have anything to say about it, Faison is down for the count! I just hope when the real Duke is revealed to be alive, it doesn’t set Anna over the edge. Not to mention Robin being alive.

Spinelli chose Ellie over Maxie and she expected otherwise? She threw him away and he gave his word so of course he did. Maxie brought up the fact that may be the only reason he is choosing her. I will say it again. Please, Spinelli. You are are better off with Ellie!

I am loving the new found relationship of Dante and Sonny and the fact that they are taking his help for the surrogate.

Larry Hagman, best known for such iconic roles as Major Tony Nelson on “I Dream of Jeannie” and J.R. Ewing on “Dallas,” has died, reports The Dallas Morning News. The actor, 81, died at 4:20 PM local time earlier today.

Reportedly, members of Hagman’s family stated the cause of death as complications from his recent battle with cancer.

A native of Texas himself, Hagman portrayed the legendary Ewing character from 1978 to 1991 on CBS and again this past summer after TNT rebooted the series for a new generation. Hagman returned along side original co-stars Patrick Duffy and Linda Gray. The second season of the TNT incarnation, which Hagman had been filming, is set to premiere in January.

“Larry was back in his beloved Dallas, re-enacting the iconic role he loved most,” said the actors family in a statement. “Larry’s family and close friends had joined him in Dallas for the Thanksgiving holiday. When he passed, he was surrounded by loved ones. It was a peaceful passing, just as he had wished for. The family requests privacy at this time.”
