ATWT Tues. July 3

[P.J.]

First, let's everyone wish Dusty a happy birthday! Unfortunately, I realized I have a FYC cd that's older than him, but whatever. (That's the Fine Young Cannibals, FYI. The old dudes that sing "She Drives Me Crazy".)

Blangiardo/Culliton...I don't like this dude's writing. Carly is a lot more subtle than he writes her.

I'm gonna cry if CZP's beautiful voice is going to be lost to some weirdly bad dental procedure. She still has this lisp-thing going on.

The Craig/Meg scenes were pretty much a washout, but I thought Barbara's grief and dressing down of Meg was wonderful. And just watching Scott Bryce in the background convinced me Craig has a soul, deep down in that oily black heart of his, somewhere. THAT'S what's been missed in Hunt Block's portrayal of the character--humanity.

Ali/Aaron...eh. Elwood comes off like a total jerk though. I think they kind of screwed us out of seeing Aaron's reaction to the news Ali had turned into a porn star. At first, I thought she'd only confessed about the meth addiction.

Dusty/Em....not a fan. C'mon...Dusty's huge "mistake" is sleeping with Ali? REALLY? Let's see...he came to town paided by Babs to break up Paul/Rose, he's screwed a handful of women without "strings" (remember Molly and Meg?), he was a borderline thug who inadvertantly got Aaron paralyzed. AND WAIT...he was going to kill Craig in cold blood. But having sex with Emily's legal aged sister bothers his conscience? WTFever.

Carly/Jack, et al. ONE, Jack is lying when he said Carly's "moving on" with Simon didn't bother him. Two, funny how his "admission" that upset Fluffster was that Carly/Brad scheming was "his worst nightmare"....and not some confession that he and Carly had almost kissed the other day at the family outing. Three, Katie's a bitch for throwing Carly's "desertion" of the family in her face, when Katie's directly responsible for hounding her and Simon out of town.

But, y'know....it was funny that Carly knew Katie wouldn't be able to keep her yap shut about Carly and Brad going out to breakfast. It took all of two minutes for her to spill it to Jack, even though she knew she was being played.

Ya know what's the saddest thing of all about this mess of a story PJ? It's that Katie and Brad will be just fine when the mess is over and KACK are but a distant and painful memory, but the one's who will suffer the most damage from this crap of a story is Carly and Jack. They are the ones who are being so trashed by this mess, whereas, Katie is just being Katie and doing what Katie has always done. No harm, no foul. She'll be right back where she started from. And AP's Brad is NEW, so he doesn't really have a "history" to be trashed or any long term relationship from the past that could be rewritten like Carjack's.

I couldn't give a damn about Katie and Brad and how they'll be when this is all over, but it breaks my heart to see how Carly and Jack are being trashed by this story. I was actually embarrassed for Maura West today having to try to sell that pre-adolescent BS they had Carly doing today, while Jack and Fluffy stood in judgment of her with their morally superior smirks. It was beneath all of them, even Terri Conn who I'm not particularly fond of anyway.

I agree with you totally, I can't stand Katie she been causing trouble for Carly since I can remember. I believe that Katie has wanted Jack for a long time that is why she always getting in Jack and Carly business. Carly got in trouble helping Jack when he lost his job and Katie told Jack about Carly working at the club under cover trying to help Jack get his job back. Carly almost got killed because of Katie. . I hopeful that Jack and Carly get back together, but Carley need s to stop working so hard at it and just sit back and wait for Katie to said or do something dumb. Katie is upset because she can see how much it is affected Jack when he around Carly.

I wasn't going to post. I am quickly losing patience with ATWT. So I will just do positives and negatives of the show. Guess which one will have more?.....Duh!

Positives

Barbara Ryan-It was great she was finally involved with Craig and Meg.

Craig Montgomery- Love Scott Bryce!

Negatives

Dusty and Emily-No way am I buying these two as a couple. I never will. Emily almost killed Dusty. She had him kidnapped. Why flirt with the idea of pairing them.

Ally and Aaron- Glad Aaron is back. But I see no chemistry between the two of them.

Carly/Jack/Fluffy/Duh(Brad)- Really pathetic! Real Carly can take down Katie without sweating! Why all these games with the twit!

Meg- WILL SHE MAKE UP HER DAMN MIND!!!!!!! ONE DAY SHE IS CIVIL/NICE TO CRAIG.....NEXT DAY SHE HATES HIM....WRITERS MAKE UP YOUR MINDS....WHAT IS IT? It is getting annoying and boring to watch!

Craig/Meg/Barbara scenes- Barbara should have slapped the hell out of Meg. She should have really laid into Craig. Use the history that Barbara and Craig have....you hack writer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE SHOW WAS BORING!!!!!

END OF RANT!!!!!!
