So far, the show is okay.

I liked that they didn't just drop Lisa from Friday's show. I loved her reaction when she saw that Carly had gotten arrested. :lol:

I really don't feel sorry for Carly. Unfortunately, her character has sunk below the level of being pathetic. Ever since she started gravitating towards Katie's orbit, she's been acting more and more like her.

okay, nevermind! I spoke too soon. :o

The new Parker and JJ kind of look like elves. I can't take any of this seriously when these kids are almost as tall as Carly is. What a bad SORAS job!

So Parker's going to be the new Will Munson? Not surprised.

I know I am going to pretty much be alone in this but I think today's show was the best it has been in Months, I totally loved how the whole hour just felt really drama like to me, something it has not felt like in a long time now. I loved the family interaction with Meg and Holden that we had throughout the whole hour, also loved the family interaction with Barbara and Paul, this has been something that has been missing for a while now, so I really enjoyed seeing it. Also the fact that Will, Gwen, Craig, Dusty, Emily all got the same day off helped things. What can I say about Carly, Jack and the kids, what great scenes those were today, I was in tears several times during there scenes today. I also enjoyed the V and Mike scenes, even Katie really did not bother me that much today. So my rating today would be great show, I hope it continues.

I felt bad for Carly. I wanted her to rat out Henry and Slimon to save herself...but then again, that would make her just like Katie (which is just not acceptable, lol). And I'd rather Parker be the angry child, because down the road, I can forgive him. He's lost his dad and his sister, and now his mom. I certainly don't want to sit through PrinceJJ having temper tantrums and Carly returning to have to earn his trust back. As long as they don't make him psycho like Will, it's okay.

I'm not feeling sorry for Katie and her ten seconds of regret for blowing up Carly's life. What a little b*tch!! "Oh, Mike...I've done something horrible. You told me..." blah blah blah...."BUT, I couldn't have done it, if Carly hadn't done what she did....!!! I swear there wasn't even a commercial break before her regret flew out the window and she was back to "using her best weapon" to try and get Mike back.

Don't get me started on Simon.

But big Kudos to letting Henry tee-off on Katie!!!! FINALLY someone hit her right between the eyes with the truth...she's a lousy friend, cold b*tch, and a lousy human being. :lol:

And what the hell is with this Psychic Paul story? I never thought I'd feel bad for Roger Howarth...but this story could do it.

I actually agree with you, but I'm still laughing my ass off at Paul's visions. :lol: It was such a WTF moment! The graphics were just too much. I hope that this is all him going crazy because if he's seriously a psychic, it would be too stupid to believe.

And as weird as it sounds, I actually like Paul when he interact with Barbara. This is the first time in months that I've enjoyed a scene with him.

OMG at Katie! That girl must be certifiable, because she just realized how stupid she is? That's about 2 years too late!

I wonder if Vienna is staying any longer. I think she and Mike have a lot more chemistry than he does with Katie. And honestly, Vienna is a millon times better and funnier than Katie...I'd rather see her in a storyline.

I loved Carly's scenes with the kids the most. The way they had Parker be mad at her and the others not so much, made a lot of sense because Parker has been through the most loss.

Lisa was great. Barbara was human. Holden and Meg talking, was nice.

Excellent script by Richard Culliton -- he really knows how to tap into emotions, connections between characters, and conflict.

I will agree with you. I enjoyed it too. Mainly because there was movement. CarlyJack and Carjack/kids scenes were good. Carly is so stupid for letting this get out of hand. I felt no sympathy for her. But I loved her line to Katie. I know Jack was trying to keep the peace but Parker had ever right to be pissed off at Carly. Carly couldnt have sunk any lower.

It was nice seeing Lisa and Barbara. But I hate how Lisa was used as window dressing for Katie. First it was Nancy then Bob and now Lisa. Paul's visions were laughable. The fire in his eyes were so chessy. They were badly done.

I enjoyed Holden/Meg scenes because it involved family. And I love the Snyders.

Simon...pfft. I want him gone yesterday.

Tomorrow's previews looked horrible.

Yes, it was. But I wish he would have given Parker more lines with Carly.

I really hope this Parker gets somekind of a storyline, I am really enjoying this actor, I know we really don't need another teen story right now, but this actor could play a bad kid so good it is not even funny, just his attitude and the great way the actor portrayed it proves that he would be good at being bad.

I agree Simon needs to have gone along time ago, he has warn out his welcome in Oakdale for ever IMO.

I agree Tomorrow's show looks like we are back to the normal non-moving storyline junk again.

I wonder if this will be a new pattern, have a good show on Monday with movement, and then the rest of the week no movement at all.

I have a feeling Parker will turn to the dark side. Just like Will did with Barbara.

Well, I just dont like who was featured. Craig and Emily again. Craig threatning Emily again. It's the same thing they have done already. Casey and Maddie. Gawd has Casey's acting gotten bad again. I couldnt hear a thing he said in those previews. And then they showed Elwood. :rolleyes: I forgot what else was shown. But I think that was it.

One thing about today's show I didnt like besides Simon was Meg being poisoned again. It's the same thing Craig did to her. Can't Jean come up with something new and original...geezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
