Dev is Boring me....big time...who cares about him....what is the Point.
Julia's Son ditto.

Ellis; Can Eileen trust him....the little S-Stirrer.

And Derek's Coat........Dr Who audition or what.

I enjoyed the Tom Derek scene too. Gave a better understanding of why Tom dislikes Derek so much.

But I quite enjoyed the Karen bed scene, though it was too modern for the show, but surely it was meant to be that bad.

Ditto on the Dev bit. Boring character and boring plot for him too.

The coat Derek wore was atrocious. Shockingly so.

What happened right at the end? I couldn't record it at the weekend so I watched it online and for some reason it cut out just before the end, what happened after the scene where Ivy was singing and she went to open the door to someone?

[bobbla]

Derek was at the door to see if she was ok and massaged her ego a bit. She then said he'd been hideous to her, he said you said i was lousy in bed - in front of everyone! She said i lied........big snog, fall onto bed, credits.

Thanks for that at least I know I didn't really miss anything.

That's when I felt sick.

I'm absolutely hooked. I absolutely adore the original songs and can't wait for sheet music and backing tracks to be available.

I love the main characters, evil director Derek in particular.And I'm still finding myself torn between Ivy and Karen over who I want to triumph in the end and take the part of Marilyn to Broadway. So tempted to find the later episodes online and watch to the end of the series but am trying to ration myself as I believe the second serious won't be out until next year.

Watching the episode about the workshop I wondered about the scene where Bernadette Peters is performing to the ensemble - some of them were sitting there filming the big star on their mobiles. Couldn't help but wonder how much of that was scripted and how many of them had actually whipped their phones out to record their moment in front of one of Broadway's legends!

[Canks]

I am loving this! My favourite program right now by miles! The songs are great, the acting is fab - I absolutely hate when it ends! Also must say Jack Davenport is lovely! He's definitely a reason why I'm so hooked I want Derek and Karen together. Ivy annoys me.

I think Dev might develop as a character and it's nice Karen has a settled home life. Do not like the Julia/Michael story line. I also didn't see the need to bring Eileen's daughter in to it last week although I still enjoyed the episode.And yes, Derek's coat! What was that all about?

I'm torn between Ivy and Karen too.
I was rooting big-time for Karen at the beginning of the series but now I find her a bit "wet" compared to Ivy. Hate myself for feeling this way!

'You're right i didn't sleep with Derek. But its not because he didn't ask. You weren't the first choice'

Karen gets her gumption

Karen gets her gumption

But then they become 'friends' ....Noooooooo {not bff thankfully}
Loved their tune on T Square..... Ads galore...

Great 'show' again...even Mike getting punched.

But Ivy and the Pills, knew that would end in tears.
New director....not, Derek, panic over.
Republicans everywhere.....

Ellis too big for his Boots.


And Karen in Green....we have to see the Ad.

[StressMonkey]

Missed two weeks now

Could catch up, I do like it. But just not 'must see' TV

[gilesb]

I really enjoy this show, really look forward to it every week.

I thought the song with Ivy and Karen singing "Cheers (drink to that)" was brilliant...

Such a good series

[loveloveX]

i think ellis just might be the most annoying character ever!

[Jenzen]

This show is getting better every week. Is it a 12 episode run?

Im also not sure who I prefer between karen and Ivy love them both. Derek is my favourite though, although Im a tad biased I have had a bit of thing for Mr Davenport for years

Great thank you

[Stansfield]

Karen had a rival this week; I always make her songs the best of the week, they always are.....but Tom, and the Towel Boys song,...was equally as good, a stunning performance.

But Ivy, still nasty.
Ellis still snooping...and it's the Bar Owner this time, does Eileen know what he's found out, and what is it...but he did hand her all that money, in the Bar.
Julia & Son; their fine...nice.

Derek {sorry & nice} vs Dev.....handbags methinks....

And where have I seen that Rebecca before....

Well I dont know quite what it is about Dev but he is my least liked character in the show, find the whole political office thing completely boring. Toms song number with the towel boys was brillant probably my favourite number from "Bombshell" yet

Totally agree. Skipped his parts because he annoyed me so much Christian Borle (Tom) on the other hand is probably my favourite character, loved his Zanek in the Don't Say Yes number

[SilverFeather]

Just found this thread. I love Smash. Loved the scenes between Derek and Karen this week. Can't wait to see what happens next...

[mangomoon]

I'm finally caught up with UK pace and I have to say "Rebecca Duvall" is the most unlikely person I could imagine to play Marilyn.

Still love the show even though I'm not keen on Ivy or Karen, although I did like their Times Square duet. I loved Tom's number. No interest in Dev or RJ either.... can't wait for the next ep!

I was hoping she was only going be in one episode......but, she did get better.

Karen and the Amy song Our Day Will Come....never sung better.
And her on off cosy chats with Ivy....no more please.

Dev on a Park Bench....says it all really.
Nick is Bad!...
"Great! another crook"
Derek and his Coat.....Still going for the Dr Who look/part.

Bald Guy in rehearsals....he was good.

And the Leo School thing...less is more...

[mangomoon]

Please no more Dev Not sure I like all this Ivy/Karen getting along thing.
