That bugs me to no end, but I usually loathe Dusty praise because the idea that he's some white knight hero who's never done wrong makes me want to hurl. Having said that, my guess is that that's merely plot point to when the big bang between Ali and Dusty is revealed.

Ugh...I don't think a flashback has been so overpimped since the Carly/Mike boink they ran every. fluckin'. day. for THREE MONTHS.

But, I oddly find it hot. I just wish there was a little more to show.

Hey, it's better than saying that dude from Hardcastle and McCormick. :)

Now that I've seen more of the story, I'll admit I think they're setting it up better than I thought. I'm just conditioned to expect the worse from Passanante. I think we all are.

This is the thing that kind of bothers me with the whole Noah/Luke story. While I am happy that Luke will have a love interest, I'm disappointed at the fact that they didn't develop things a bit more. I mean. You have Luke disliking the guy to suddenly interested in the guy, but you don't have either one of them talking enough to the point where an 'interest' could be developed...It's just thrown in there that Luke's interested in Noah. It's because of this that I find it a bit hard to swallow that Luke is suddenly 'upset" that Noah and Maddie made love. I could honestly understand Luke being upset if Noah and he had a closeness with one another; but no closeness has been developed yet between the two of them, so for me, it's just a little bit hard to swallow.

'Creepy' Cleo was a trip. I didn't know who kind of creeped me out more: the reporter that forbad Gwen to answer her phone or make plans (granted I can see what he was getting at about her being the main attraction that needs to be there for the folks looking forward to seeing her) or Cleo who kept cheesing it up everytime she was close to Will.

Okay, now on to Dusty and Emily.... Wasn't it just a year ago that Emily knocked Dusty over the head, dragged him to an abandoned building, and had him in bondage? Everytime I see them kissing I think back to that. :lol:

[!@#$%^&*], ATWT. [!@#$%^&*]!

I hate Cleo with the heat of a million suns, but the stuff with her and Will today was just TOO campy and excellent. WHY couldn't this be another show!? WHY couldn't they just spin the younger characters off onto their own show? They could be featured year-round, but they wouldn't be clogging up ATWT. If that was the case, and this whacky ass Cleo story was airing on that show instead of ATWT, I would be eating it up. It just pains me to think that ATWT...As the World Turns...is doing this type of stuff. It's just not ATWT to me. But I'm enjoying it. I just don't like enjoying it. I'm not enjoying enjoying this story. There.

Cleo is a goddamn nutjob. Through and through. Will should have just left her ass in the woods after that awkward, awkward kiss. I almost cheered her on when she clunked him over the head with the garden gnome. But then my unconditional Will love came back (it had been gone for a while), and I was ready to blow Cleo up for messing with him like that.

Luke and Jade have the most chemistry out of anybody in the younger set, without a doubt. Too bad.

Noah/Maddie floving was very interesting. I love how Noah lashing out towards Casey tied in perfectly with his feelings concerning his father. It made good sense. Damn, that boy is tall and skinny, isn't he? He looked even taller once he was prancing around in that towel (was it a towel? I forgot). That was quite the classic cliffhanger, with Luke bursting in there, expecting to find something completely different from what he saw.

Oh and...*why* haven't we seen a physical altercation between Gwen and Jade yet? It's way overdue.

I agree. I've also thought they should have their spinoff. And leave the rest on ATWT.

I was LMAO when she whacked him. :lol:

It was a nice cliffhanger but would've had more impact if Noah and Will were closer. At least shared 1 conversation....LOL...Pissanante the hack....LOL

^^ I've been aware of the fact that Grant has been directing ATWT for sometime now, but--just curious--I don't believe he was on stage when ATWT won this year's Best Directing Team Award at the Daytime Emmys. Anyone know why?

Well, I'm not sure if he's included in that win or not. I know he directed episodes last year, but maybe there's some kind of threshold he has to meet to be included. Or maybe he just didn't make the trip to LA.

^^I'm sure you're right, or very close to the truth. I was just imagining whethher Grant would be committed or ambitious enough to follow the steps of Ellen Wheeler and eventually become a producer... maybe taking ATWT out of the current rut...

    • It was one of the bigger disappointments that Sarah wasn't part of the book. 
    • They clearly loved her offcamera. I wish I could appreciate her work more, but...I don't. Thanks for telling me what Levin said at the end. I still don't think Carney was bad, but I guess he would always see them as not shining compared to Kate.
    • Around 2002, when I would have killed Alan, I'd bring back Amanda, who would have a love/hate relationship with Philip mirroring Alan and Alex, I'd have a proper Alex recast, I might bring back Alan-Michael (and maybe Hope or Mike on recurring), and I'd bring in a long-lost son for Philip who would be around his late teens or early twenties.  I agree that Philip would still need a rival. That's where giving Roger another long-lost kid (not Sebastian) could have worked in this timeframe.
    • @ranger1rg @DemetriKaneI was sure I was swimming upstream alone on this. I get that they are all proud to be Duprees, but the writers are just overplaying it. Ted's an ass, but presumably, he's been a model husband for the last 25 (?) years...but he just isn't good enough (or can handle or whatever..) a Dupree woman? *cough* I guess the next "shocker" is whatever Vernon and Anita's secret is. I hope it's something a little more original than him cheating on Anita.
    • Yes, that was probably to he case. In  the book, after Malcolm Groome (Pat) said he dated Kathleen Tolan,  he said he saw her theater work and found her to be  "compelling and charismatic actress"  In one of Ilene Kristen's many video interviews promoting the book, she also praised Kathleen.
    • David knowing Burke was going to die and making sure to say goodbye to him was very unnerving. Some of the last moments where David Henesy's otherworldly vibes from those first few years are put to good use. I agree that the few months right before 1795 are excellent. They do a great job with building suspense and going through insane twists.  DS was never going to be able to have a long run anyway, with the high burnout rate and a number of principal cast not likely to stay, but I do wonder what might have been if they had done a better job with the present day after the return from 1795. 
    • Off of the Xander/Paulina scenes in Thursday's episode, I really hope that means we're getting Theo coming home permanently. I didn't really see much of Cameron Johnson in the role, and though he was pretty and I'm thankful for his occasional thirst traps on Insta, Kyler Pettis could not act, so a brand new recast would be fine by me, but if you all think Cameron doesn't a real shot, I'd be fine with that, too. I just want Theo to be taken seriously as a character for once and make his place on this show like he deserves. I was annoyed the second Susan showed up again, but I do admit it was interesting to see her reunite with Marlena and see their dynamic when EJ joined them. Hopefully now we're done with her forever. As for John, this last bit of hope Marlena is getting before the inevitable is already so devastating. This is going to be so hard to watch. Xander reminding the audience he IS a cold blooded murderer, point blank. Paul Telfer was devilishly terrifying. Taking off his jacket was such a sexy power move. That Philip doesn't have a permanent dent in his face will be a miracle. It'll be interesting if it'll just be the one punch or if next week will see Philip more battered and bruised. How bad are they going to make Xander look? I will say, the best part of this story is that I'm not rooting for one over the other. How Philip reacts to this violence will be interesting. I also liked how everything with stealing the drug ended up. Very messy. Steve even made me laugh at one point, and I've been indifferent to him for years. I hope poor Kevin doesn't get scapegoated, but it'll be nice to see him presumably reunite with Shawn next. We'll be really lucky if Belle somehow crosses paths with him, too.
    • I've really been enjoying seeing him/Smitty interact with other actors/characters
    • She didn't want a hotel room; doubt she's going to want the apartment room, either. There was no reason to re-arrange the other one. This was the most logical move.
    • I just hope they don't move that lady in their apartment. Same. And Mike seemed to enjoy those scenes.
