I really think today's show was great yet again, that makes all three show's this week that have been good, and also very balanced, once again we saw 4-5 storylines today which was great, Katie and the Kids was totally funny to me, I really enjoyed that scene, in fact Katie and Jack are growing on me period. The Will/Gwen/Barbar/Maddie stuff was also good. Only thing that made me mad was Luke disappeared to go help Holden, not to sure if I believe that but anyway. I love Cheri she is making Emily's storyline really interesting, if only we could keep the show going like this with the 4-5 storylines a day it good start to get better again. I also liked them talking about Hal today also, it is nice to know that they have not forgot about him.

Eh...an okay show. I'm a little ticked they'd mention some out of town posthumous award for Hal, but only "send" Babs and Will to it or even mention the darned thing. Hal, who's fathered half of Oakdale, deserves better. They could at least say Nikki was going to it. They could at least tell Parker. Let Emily hear about it and be ashamed of her current profession. KWIM? That used to be the best part of ATWT, seeing how the "news" would affect people. PISSES. ME. OFF. that Pissy gets praise for such half-assed writing.

Parker and JJ making fun of Katie was okay. Not buying the rest of the Katie garbage. Sorry, the woman needs to be shipped the hell out of town. Cutesy little scenes of playing Family Helper to Carly's family does not earn her redemption.

I'm liking the Emily story more than I thought...but Dusty and Emily have no chemistry. I really like Robin Mattson. I keep hoping they'll find a way to keep her.

Uhm...I know Jen Landon won an emmy and everything...but lately it's like she's just phoning this in. There's no range in her emotions.

I am starting to warm up to the idea of Jack and Katie. At first, I was solely against it. After watching today, I get them. They're not that weird together. I enjoyed Katie's scenes with Parker and JJ. I could see that really happening. Two sons see this new woman in their father's life, so they do everything they can to make her uncomfortable, only to find out that she's not that bad and kind of "cool." :lol:

She's been phoning it in for about a year.

Un-dead Adam has picked up my interest again. Sending dirt along with Gwen's ring was a nice little twist.

LMAO at Gwen trying on the ring to prove it was hers. Like this plastic-fifty cent-vending machine ring was made especially for her.

I love Parker. Are you my dad? :P Too bad he didn't make Katie's life more miserable. I want that whore to S-U-F-F-E-R until eternity.

Today's show was pretty good. I enjoyed Barbara and Margo the best. I still cant stand Katie. I want her gone from Oakdale. Her scenes with Jack were in bad taste.

I liked Barbara's scenes best too.

I almost changed the channel and didn't come back after seeing doe-eyed Jade playing concerned and sweet followed by Gwen and Maddie being hysterical, but later on Jade was less annoying and Maddie makes up for freaked out Gwen.

I did like the Katie and Jack scenes and most of the scenes with the kids.

I also like how they are mentioning Hal a lot. I miss him.

I'm loving all the hockey stuff!! It makes Katie bearable. Hopefully it is also turning on more viewers to the joy of hockey. :)

Aside from that, today's episode was generally pretty good, though not stellar. I liked that we got to see Margo react to the news that Adam had tried to sexually assault Gwen (poor Margo), to see Margo talking to Dallas about refusing to quit, and to see Barbara being true to form in her iciness with Maddie. Cheri's confrontation with Emily was also interesting. And Will and Gwen have a lot of tragic romantic chemistry right now ...

Jen Landon's not "phoning it in", she's acting dazed and numb because that's how Gwen feels after all that has happened. To me this is how the character is supposed to be -- really "off", expressionless, zombie-like, stressed -- and the other characters are picking up on that. Jen Landon's performance right now is perfect.

I really hate how Barbara has ZERO story. I feel bad for Zenk Pinter because Sheffer used her SO much during his stint. Ugh. This makes me mad every time I see her on-screen.

Landon's lost her spark. She definitely has been phoning it in.

She was acting this way for more than the last month, imo. She didn't even have any spark while she was "living the dream" of working on her demo.

    • The most beautiful thing about getting into a new soap opera is getting to know the characters yourself and figuring everything out slowly. And EON is one of the easiest when it comes to that. Pretty soon you are so well oriented in who is who and what are their motivations. I only struggled with the episodes before Mansion of the damned started.  Then after that it's pretty smooth sailing.    
    • I don't hate Hayley but she would absolutely cry about falling for Jacob.
    • @BroderickThank you for the reply. Such acting that they Sharon Gabet and the actor playing Draper still played their relationship after it's over. I picked up on it even though I had no idea about their history. That's such good acting/continuity.  Raven has just moved to London and a custody battle is now brewing for Jamey.
    • Ha-ha-ha, I thought it was Marland who turned Mike into a jerk, but apparently not. I get that they probably felt the Mike/Leslie story had run its course, but they should have at least let them have a kid. Especially since they were soon ensnaring him in a storyline with a woman who couldn't have children (Elizabeth). Of course, no one could have predicted there would be a dearth of Bauers a few years later. I remember this! I remember Holly sitting by the phone, desperate for Ed to call so they could stop the divorce. I forgot it was Rita who never gave him the message. What a bitch.

       But, yeah, this is the Rita I remember at the beginning: very determined to bag Ed. I contend that Holly never, ever got over it, never stopped regretting that the divorce went through. I wish at some point over the years they had let Holly and Ed reunite for more than a brief affair. It feels like a thread that was left hanging. There she is! I was beginning to think I had dreamed up the Rita/Tim/Evie triangle.
    • In the interview posted on knotslanding.net, William Devane described the Greg/Paige storyline as "juvenile".  From that interview I also got the impression that William Devane was on his way out near the end so he wouldn't have returned if there was a season 15.
    • Just started this show. I’m on episode 3. I’m starting to make the connections and understand the family tree better. Still will take time to fully understand everything but it’s exciting. So glad we have a new soap opera in 2025! Excited to join the discussion once I’m caught up.
    • Haley and Jacob had more chemistry in their small interaction than I ever saw between Naomi and Jacob. Same with Haley and Derek actually - that was one of the few times I can recall Derek ever having any life in him. 
    • -- Anita going through Ted and Nicole's wedding album. Really??? -- Dani defending Ted in her conversation with Nicole. Really??? -- Bill wants a child with Hayley. Really??? -- Many people are saying "Dana can't be Eva's mother" because of the way Dana treats her. Maybe she's not her mother, but that biological connection has nothing to do with it. Dana has functioned as Eva's mother all of her life. There's no reason to believe giving birth to her makes the difference. -- Hayley is hilarious for being so clueless and tone deaf when she comments on others' mistakes and flaws. God, she's dumb. -- Alex Alegria continues to suck as Tomas. Soooooo wooden. -- Ambyr Michelle stole the episode.  
    • I was fine with Greg and Paige as a couple (ick factors and all, lol).  What I didn't like was how juvenile their push-and-pull was, with Greg alienating her repeatedly and arbitrarily, and Paige leaving him and/or The Sumner Group in a huff, only to come back together, like, thirty minutes later, lol. I get that Greg was not someone who enjoyed sharing his feelings with others, but c'mon.  He was a little too old for all that on-again/off-again [!@#$%^&*]; and so was Paige, and so were we. Mary Robeson wasn't her aunt, though.  Thanks to WBTV's Primetime Soaps app, I was able to rewatch all of S14, and I learned, in fact, Mary was her aunt - which I guess made Joe her uncle? Truly, I thank the streaming gods for being able to rewatch the final season, because, for the past 30+ years, I never was able to understand how Mary and Joe, Nick and Vanessa, Val's disappearance and Treadwell (and Abby) all fit together; and even now, it still seems a trifle sketchy to me.  (The shortened season and reduced budget wreaked some havoc on the storytelling, did it not, lol?)  But I do appreciate the attempt, because it's probably the first time since Val's pregnancy that the show even attempted to tie the cast together under the same story umbrella. And even if she was trepidatious (sp?) about raising Meg alone, she wasn't the type to express those feelings outwardly.  Laura wasn't going to fidget and cry like Val, or shout wild-eyedly at others like Karen.
