No discussion about today's eppy yet?

I've been less than thrilled with the Adam plot (*snark* now Adam has a plot, though I don't think it's six feet deep..), and some of the Gwen/Maddie stuff was a little overwrought, but this clicked into high gear today once Gwennie decided to cover up Adam's "death". It's about time real Gwen reemerged, and it's the first time in a long time I've seen any of Iris' genes rear their ugly heads. (There's even a parallel to the Carly/Lily coverup of Julia's death, which I appreciated.)

Meg...OMG, STFU!! I couldn't believe she had the cajones to tell Paul off like that.

I know I shouldn't, but I felt bad for Casey. Tom's having a meltdown, and Margo's singing Adam's praises to his face.

Ooooh...shades of MadWill popped up. Loved his line to Jade..."maybe I should drop you off. When I met Adam, maybe there shouldn't be any witnesses."

The Brad stuff sucked. Correction. AP sucks. Jack and Vienna were funny. And it was nice to see Kim.

I loved the whole show except for Brad. He was definitely the biggggggggggggggg weak point today.

Gwen & Maddie were superb. I think that Will will be the one to take the fall for Adam's disappearance. He will be the chief suspect and Jade the chief witness after what he said.

It is going to be big drama and if everything goes right - this should further involve Barbara, Margo and Tom as the story unfolds more. And I love that.

This is going to be family drama at it's best.

And I love that FINALLY they are dealing more with Maddie's rape. I am sorry that it is more of a plot point brought up with this story. But it is a nice nod to the past story and that Maddie snapped when she saw Adam & Gwen.

Overall great show. I just can't take Austin Peck unless his shirt is off to distract me. LOL

No problem. Dont even give it a second thought. :)

I enjoyed today's show again. It was great seeing Kim and Bob. I am loving the Hughes drama. I still think Bob should have been at the police station as well as Babs.

The Gwen/Maddie drama was good. I just still hate how Adam was written for this outcome to unfold.

The weak point had to be Paul and Brad.

Meg/Craig/Paul: zZzZzZzZ

Brad: B-O-R-I-N-G!!!!

Surprisingly the teen invasion was the best thing from today's show. Good scenes with Tom, Margo and Casey. I LOVE when Tom gets angry, he's so sarcastic!

Loved seeing Kim! Even if it's for 2 seconds... <_<

Another great episode! Nothing much I can say except that I loved all of the scenes involving realGwen, Maddie, Adam, Will, Jade, Tom, Casey, and Margo. I liked the stuff with Brad a teensy tiny bit. If it was someone other than Austin Peck, who is just not right at all for the show, I'd love the storyline, but eh. You can't be happy about everything. I love the fact that they followed Tom and Margo back home after the stuff at the police station. I'm guessing Ellen Dolan's fans really pulled it for her last year when she wrote that letter. She and S. Holmes have been getting some great material to play with each other lately. That very last shot of them, with her starting to cry and him putting his arms around her...that just screamed PLEASE MAKE A SCREENCAP OF ME!

Again, great show. They're 2-for-2 this week so far. I was looking at the credits and every single contract cast member except for Tamara Tunie, Helen Wagner, Colleen Zenk Pinter, Terri Columbino, Jon Hensley, and Martha Byrne have been on this week so far. That's really, really, REALLY amazing, considering it hasn't felt nearly as crowded as it could have been and everyone's done something significant in their scenes.

I agree that today's show was another good one,with the exception of Brad.

I am beginning to think he brings Vienna down when he is in scenes with her.

Scott Holmes is so intense in his scenes as Tom.After the show is over I wonder if he has trouble winding down from it all.

It was a Richard Culliton show today.

Scott Holmes is a god, why isn't this man running this show? He is *so* much better than Jon Hensley, Grayson McCouch and Michael Park, though I love them all. Emily should try and steal Tom back.

My dear Kimberly was looking as fabulous as ever! I wonder if Kathryn Hays dresses herself? They need to bring back one of her kids so we can see more of her.

I agree! Vienna is a goddess with chemistry with most, but she can't save Brad. And the character of Katie will be dead if they keep her with him. I'm sorry to the Austin Peck fans, but I just don't see it. I don't think I'm bias either, just watch! It's like Jack is dealing with a child.

In general the show is rebounding, but I still don't know if it will last. You know how ATWT can be hot one moment and dull for the next three months. Hopefully this is the start of some good stuff and maybe they ARE listening to our complaints.

    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
    • You're right. People like me who stuck with her, did so because of her history. The show just skated her along with no story,  no goal, no aim. Right again! This is who I forgot before. When you describe her, it makes me appreciate her more. Thinking back I loved Mandy.
    • Maybe Guza is becoming Y&R Head writer and Jilly will be named EP! Remember CBS installed Latham as consultant and later Mal Young, both of whom took over the show. Of course, they each got credit during the consulting days.
    • Don't forget Carrie, who as Carrie2 was screwing everything in pants, and PPD Reva, who to either get back at Josh for his supposed affair with Vanessa (or just to prove she's more desirable than Van) tries to screw half the male population.
    • Post-production isn't exactly akin to sweeping the floors, but it makes more sense given her CV.  And, it would invalidate any concerns that she has an undo influence on the creative process, as opposed to visual and sound design of the show.  In fact, given her interests, it makes sense that she would want to consult and see the impact of newer technology in a post-production facility.  I could only imagine how much has changed in sound technology since she worked on SB, and that might be intriguing to utilize. As well as their impending move (not as soon as B&B, but we all know it will happen) and helping set up post-production at the new facility. 
    • The last five or so episodes of season 8 after the Jean Hackney story ended were pretty strong with the Laura/Val friendship breakdown, Ben's PTSD with Val trying to help him, and the start of Jill realizing that Val was as much of a threat to her happiness with Gary as Abby was. I always thought that the Jean Hackney story should have ended at mid season at the latest... and then deal with the fall-out because seeing Ben/Val switch roles with Ben in mental decline instead of Val would have been interesting to explore.  And seeing Val and Laura's friendship suffer also was interesting and should have been explored especially with Karen caught in the middle and Abby both intrigued and amused at the conflict that she didn't cause. However, season 8 was the only Latham run season where Val was well written.  
    • Well, she's not in there sweeping the floors at the end of the night, and you don't bring in an award-winning producer to just sit on their backsides (or hey, maybe you do!). Again, without knowing the specific capacity she's in there working as⏤and it seems as if we are not going to at the present time⏤it's hard to speculate/discuss. I would interpret she's in a role that either would not require being credited, or she's, as others have speculated, is back and not receiving credit for the work she's done. That'd be like saying, per the WGA, all writers must be credited, but as we've seen by those who've worked as fi-core, they don't always receive credit.

       And, if my research is correct, per the DGA, you can request not to be credited for work you do. I could only assume the same would be for the PGA, as well.
    • When Anita read Barbara's letter, it started out with the viewers hearing it in Barbara's voice as Anita read silently. And then Anita saying the next portion aloud while Barbara's voice continued simultaneously. And then ending with Anita alone saying the last part aloud. Excerpt from interview  (link to full interview) The rest may be spoilerish -- Only the nonspoiler part here: I love the idea of reading that letter,” shares Tunie. “And at one point in the script, I think it said that my voice joined her, and [Anita] started reciting the letter from memory because [she] memorized this letter. I suggested to Steve Williford, our director, ‘What if it’s like that moment in Hamilton when Hamilton is writing the resignation letter to George Washington, and then he starts saying it too, and then Hamilton’s voice fades away, and then it’s all George. What if we do something like that?’ And he was like, ‘Oh, my God! I just got chills. Let’s do it!’ So, we did it.” I understood that it worked really well, so I’m really happy about that.”  
    • I think MVJ and Guza made a good team in the launching of the soap, and I'm hoping that the rotation of all stories and characters is maintained once he officially departs from the credits. And so far, Ron C's breakdowns have been decent... but they pop only when he's paired with a good script writer like Jazmin.   I hope once Guza leaves officially... that MVJ is able to reign in Ron C and the dread Jamey G.
    • I read that, but my interpretation was that she is uncredited because it is in a non-production capacity.  In others words, she's not secretly producing, or writing, as some had speculated prior to the confirmation. Her likeliest position would be in a post-production consultant capacity. I assume we agree on this?
