Today was pretty good.

I guess I'm crazy b/c I actually found Paul to be okay when he was talking to Parker. I just hope that Parker doesn't start acting like him.

Meg and Craig just seem so odd together. She looks so beautiful and then he looks so old! Usually age doesn't matter to me, but in this case it looks really weird. :blink:

I love [!@#$%^&*]y-Faith! I loved the way she talked about Lily. :lol: I also enjoyed seeing Luke involved, and can't wait until he has a storyline.

I'm so glad that Vienna didn't go w/ Brad, but I'm sure that Katie will be falling for him next. :rolleyes: NuBrad looks really out of place. He's supposed to be Jack's brother? I just don't buy it.

Did Meg loose her mind? Seriously...I didn't see anything recognizable in her today. Where is Emma? Someone needs to slap that girl around, it might as well be her mother.

LOVED Faith today!!! It's so gratifying that ONE of her children sees Lily for who she is. I was flabbergasted that Faith brought up Lily's plan to send Luke to the DeGaying Camp. (I was shocked Faith knew Luke was gay...it seemed like she was clueless.)

My heart breaks for Parker. I'm a little confused if he's still in touch with his psychic-ness, or bummed 'cause it's gone and he couldn't save Hal....but either way, he's just lost. (Weird that Adult Paul is no better off...)

Katie! Seriously! Needs! To! Stop! Playing! The! Victim! Now her losing her "friend" Jack is bumming her out??? More like having no one to worship at the House of Katie has her depressed. She went from jonesin' for TWO guys to having no one in five seconds flat. I think it's long past time her selfish ass had no one to call friend.

Oh, and a special shout out to yesterday's scenes where Parker told Katie off!!! Seriously sweet.

Today's show was ok. I actually enjoyed the scenes between Parker and Paul. :huh::blink: Paul is more tolerable with Parker. I loved seeing Luke involved with his family and their troubles. Van looked sexy today. The ending with Meg and Craig kissing was puke worthy.

It seems like the overall consensus is that people think that Faith is too harsh on Lily. But seriously...I think that's how a lot of kids act at that age. Besides, she was absolutely hilarious when she was badmouthing Lily. :lol:

I wonder if they're going to have Faith interact w/ Parker and JJ since they decided to SORAS them to be about the same age. I'm not really looking forward to these kids taking over the show, but between Parker yelling at Katie and Faith being a little b!tch to Lily and Holden, I've been enjoying these two a lot.

And I hate that Katie always comes off as being "good" in situations. I don't know what Kim's issue is...I wouldn't want to hire Katie back, if I were her. And then she acts like she's so much better than Vienna?? It's so aggravating! I really despise this character!

I completely forgot about Kim. It was great seeing her today. But I hate that they are using the Hughes to prop up Katie. Why not bring back Lyla Peretti so she can give Katie and swift kick in the behind! ;)

The only thing that I liked about the Kim and Katie interaction was the possibility of a business type storyline beginning with WOAK, that is about it. I have a theory about what TPTB are tring to do, they are tring to redeem Katie by taking her back to her roots, which would have alot to do with WOAK. IMO I don't want her redeemed I want her off my screen the characters time has come and gone.

Though I reserve the right to change my mind about Katie if the chemistry that I saw with her and Brad today pans out (please don't throw tomatoes at me) :blink::o:huh::unsure::mellow:

It sucks seeing scenes with Brad because when I'm watching, I'm looking at Austin Reed. Austin doesn't belong in Oakdale. Coudln't Peck play the character a little bit differently? Brad is nothing but an arrogant version of Austin.

Jean is giving a new definition to setting up teen storylines. She's hitting the teen stories in the pre-teens :lol:

Don't apologize....I'm praying the Katie/Brad chemistry distracts TAIC long enough to keep Jack out of that equation. :lol: When Maura returns, TAIC need to work on reuniting Carjack, not making some stupid quadrangle out of Brad/Katie/Jack/Carly.

Ugh...I can imagine how out of his depth Peck will be in scenes with Maura. :blink:

    • 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.
