And we have reason to.

And we have reason to.

Why? 'Cause Hogan's writing? Seriously...good luck with that. Our ratings slid for nearly his entire reign. His getting emmys didn't mean squat. Unless he's been given a entirely new persona, he's going to do exactly what he did at ATWT. Give pithy interviews the mags will love, and repeat stories revolving around children until you scream for mercy. Characters never interacting outside of their story. An influx of ABC actors recast as characters you love, who'll have totally different personalities. And writing for couples?

You know that old saying. You can wish in one hand, and **** in the other. See which gets filled first.

The nu Craig doesn't seem so bad...I like the scenes with Meg and Paul recently!! They rock!!

Oooh! Gettin' a little heated up in hee-ah!

I'm a Days Fan and an ATWT fan, but I'm not going to go out of my way to go into a discussion thread to stir up trouble; after all it's a show to me, and I could really care less about ratings, or which show is #1. I watch the show for enjoyment, not to come to 'purposely' try to offend someone.

Now, back to ATWT..... I will say, I can't stand this new Craig...and I'm getting kind of sick of the Emily/Paul/Meg show.

Luke is most definitely Lily's son...so willing to believe anything and everything that comes out of the mouths of complete liars

So far, nothing about today's show is holding my interest yet.

The best part of today's show was the Barbara/Chaz wrestling match!

Yep, Luke is just as gullible as Lily. And I guess this time Jade really is sick? She's like the little girl who cried wolf - you never know when she's lying or not.

Hope things begin picking up soon. The Raven Lake and Perfect Storm SLs were pretty good, and I'm hoping it won't be a snooze-fest until November sweeps.

Seriously....why can't Babs get a little lovin'? CZP was smokin' today!!! Dusty should drop Lucy like a hot potato and wrestle Babsy to the ground!! LOL.

I'm rather intrigued by Craig today, playing Svengali to Emmy. He certainly worked Paul into a lather rather easily, didn't he?

Sorry, not buying Carly's gushy goo-goo eyes about all things Simon. <groan> This just makes Carly look like a bleepin' idiot. I mean really...Simon could drive up in a stolen armored car, and all Carly would do is ask why he made such a big withdrawal.

Today's episode was pretty good IMO.

I really like nuCraig! I loved his interactions w/ Lucinda and Meg this week especially. I think a Craig/Meg pairing would be interesting...and get her away from those two loons (Emily and Paul). Too bad Craig has to interact w/ Lucy all the time...that girl annoys the heck out of me!

Simon and Carly are just meh to me. I hate how much they "dumb down" Carly to be w/ him.

Bar-Bar gotta a little action didn't she...with Jaz. I think she may have gotten her freak on with Jaz...after they went behind closed doors.

I agree, Dusty and Bar-Bar would be good together.

I wanted to add something that eerks me is who in Oakdale does not know who Carly Snyder is??

"I'm surprising my husband" Um, girlfriend you're divorced and you're not married to Simon.....

That bothers the heck out of me!!!

'twas a lie to get the guy to open Simon's suite. But yeah...not only has she been front-page fodder forever, the waitstaff in the dining room knew who she was.

I'm really enjoying this break from Mike and Katie.

I love Carly and Simon together. I'd really like to see their relationship develop.

I also like the friendship with Jade and Luke. There is something sweet about the way they stick up for each other.

I liked Barbara flirting with Chaz.

Dusty seems to be a clone of Sonny Corinthos. "You wanna Shut up..."

I just don't like new Craig and I don't think I ever will.

Dusty is a Dustball...Always barking orders, then turning around doing those "Here's your bottle, sweetie." the next.

I will never like the NuCraig....and I'm getting a bit tired of looking at Emily all the time too.

Loved Barbara and Chaz!

CZP needs more airtime, dammit! She's got this GMILF thing going on, and she's super classy.

STFU Dusty. Everytime I see him I want to punch the screen. So SICK of his smugness and entitlement.

CarlySimon/Jack is boring already. Plot driven crap....

I L-O-V-E NuCraig. His return brings endless possibilities...

Nu Craig...still can't look at him, but when I just listen to him he's not that bad.

I still hate Emily and her pity party/blaming everyone for her problems.

I loved Barbara and Chaz. That was so great.

I don't know about Jade and Luke. I don't think Jade really cares about anyone. I just think she says what she has to say to Luke to keep him as a friend and defender. She'd screw him over if it was in her best interests. I hope she's faking that pregnancy.
