ATWT: Thursday June 21 Episode

Today seemed mostly like filler to me. Too much of Craig/Meg/Paul even though not all in the same scene and they are just a bore to me. I'm not on the Scott Bryce bandwagon. :mellow:

It was funny when Lucinda hung up on Holden :lol: I liked the scenes at the farm but they really didn't do much.

Definitely after today I like Dusty/Ali as opposed to Dusty/Emily but I just hope we don't have to "talk" about what happened for weeks like we did with that stupid Kack kiss :rolleyes:

I think they are still trying to do Ali's hair similar to Rosanna. The problem isn't that she needs product in it but rather she needs less product. When you use just a little too much straightening lotion or gel, it turns hair into an oil slick! I know from personal experience :lol:

What I liked about today's show is that Holden and Lily were involved. It would have been nice if Emma would have been on today. JP always isolates the families. So it was nice to see that Holden knew Meg was in trouble. JP could have easily just let Emma keep Meg's peril a secret....LOL. But like I said before the show was pure filler for me. The writers could have easily moved along the Craig/Meg/Lucinda/Paul story.

I liked the writing when Paul thought Lucinda only wanted to find the contract, and then Lucinda corrected him that she wanted leverage to get Meg beck. I would have believed either reason for why Lucinda was interested. I was momentarily chilled at Lucinda's seeming heartlessness!

Like Soapsuds, I also liked Holden and Lily's concern for Meg even as they were talking to Aaron. Loved the hanging up part too.

Craig and Meg were boring, but Craig did get some good lines when he was being sarcastic. Also, there was some movement today in that Meg found out that Craig was on to her.

OMG Thursdays episode was definitely the best one of the week to date. Probably even better than the Parker Carly makeup of yesterday! Theres just so much to say about it and analyze so I apologize for how long it is.

Meg and Craig. I loved their scenes. They were so intense. The snarky remarks. The snide comments. Craig toying and playing with Meg. I FLOVED how he dropped the bombshell that he was into her lil plan. And I FLOVED but was also DISGUSTED when he admitted he still wanted her (in a sexual way I'm sure). AND I FLOVED the way Scott Bryce portrays anger. The way he admitted he hated Paul was so raw and emotion filled. I really could feel the RAGE coming from him. And the dialogue for Craig was oustanding. To hear him admit how much he wants to hurt Paul. How It was scary to say the least. I half expected him to rape Meg there and that had happened I might have lost all control. And the way Craig kept waving that contract in front her was beyong classic. And Meg offering him sex was beyond pathetic. I dunno...I'm starting to lose faith in Peg. If she were TRULY in love with Paul why would she be offering herself up to CRAIG? To get Worldwide back? Thats beyond sad and I hope it does NOT happen. And even if it doesn't Meg has some explaining to do. I get shes in danger and scared but still....who offers sex in that type of situation and what would you want in return?

And jfung I'm with you. For one BRIEF moment I REALLY thought Lucinda only cared about that stupid contract and her business. Yes I understand its been a major part of her life and legacy. But Jesus we're talking about a young woman here whos in the hands of a madman...literally. I was like, "you cold hearted b*tch!" in the back of my mind. And only seconds earlier I was smiling and happy that she was offering to help Paul like she did the day before. But then the horror I was feeling was lifted when she explained the whole "leverage" thing. I definitely never thought of that and I'm so glad the writers included it because I truly lost all hope for Lucinda at that moment.

Holden and Lily were really great today. I FLOVED Holden's comments regarding Lucinda. "I'm just letting you know now that I will not and cannot be held responsible for what I do or say to mother" or something like that. CLASSIC. And then when Lucinda called and hung up in like 10 secs once Holden was on the phone. Jon's face after that phone call was PRICELESS.

Alison/Dusty/Emily....sadly the boring part of the show. Usually I find them interesting but today so much more was going on that I cared about it. The only good part was when Emily talked about how Susan knew everything and that she was so happy there were, "no more secrets" between them. If only you knew clueless Emily. As for Dusty I don't care at this point. I only cared for him when he was with Jen who I adored. So he can have Ali-Kat all he wants. It will never match up to the ORIGINAL LUSTY!

God I miss Peyton List.

Great shows the whole week (Monday-Thursday). I watched from beginning to end (no flipping) and that's because of one thing and one thing only. No Gwen, no Cleo...made the show so much better without having to change channels to avoid them, and missing other storylines.

Craig/Meg, Paul/Lucinda, Lily/Holden...all very watchable.

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
