Pretty good show today, The best stuff was Emily/Susan/Ali/Aaron/Dusty mainly because most of this storyline is coming to an end, KMH again did a great job today with her acting. The Carly/Brad/Jack/Katie stuff was boring and is getting very old.

I can't wait to see where we are headed with so many storylines coming to and end in the next few days/weeks. Hopefully JP will give us something more interesting than these past several storylines. Hopefully Luke's storyline starts to really get going.

LOL!! Looks like nobody felt like discussing "As the World Turns from the Twilight Zone" today. Honestly, with all the re-written history and especially with the canonization of Katie into sainthood by both Jack AND Carly,, I thought I'd tuned into the alternate universe episode of ATWT. That whole Katie/Brad/Jack/Carly mess has sunk so low into stupidity that I just roll my eyes and hit the FF button. It breaks my heart to have to fast forward thru my favorite ATWT character Jack, but right now, watching him be more and more destroyed by this ridiculous story is just too painful.

And the Em/Dust/Ali/Aaron stuff was ALMOST as bad. What, in the name of all that is holy, has happened to MY show??? :(

I thought today's eppy wasn't bad at all. (Compared to the Branson mess, this is Shakespeare. :D)

I still thought Emily was one sanctimonious bitch to Dusty and Ali today, but I felt for both of them, and seeing Susan is always a good thing.

I didn't "get" some of the backpedaling in the Carly/Jack/Katie scenes, but I took it like this. EVERYONE is fooling themselves. Jack says he's over Carly, and that he's not defending her...but he is. Katie says she's not insecure and jealous, and she's trying to be truthful, but she isn't. (Brad made a great point that Jack spends most of his time soothing Katie's fraying nerves...) And Carly doesn't want to play games to get Jack's attention, but she's in on Brad's little plan anyway. I thought the interaction between Jack and Carly was the most relaxed I've seen them with each other in ages, and made me grin from ear to ear, in spite of the circumstances.

WOW PJ, I'm surprised. I figured you would really hate today's KACK stuff. It didn't bother you to see Jack taking Carly up on her offer to take Sage off his hands so he could go bang Fluffy some more before the night was over? I thought that was terribly insensitive of him to call the twit right in Carly's face and tell her how he was going to rock her world some more if they can get together again tonight.

And, you could have a point about the EmDustAli stuff because honestly, I mostly zoned it all out and didn't process one conversation, not even when Susan was in the scene. LOL! :)

Oh, and I'm sure anything would be an improvement over the Branson stuff, but I'll have to take your word for it because I didn't watch one bit of it. I think it's on my DVR so I might FF thru it sometime in the next few days, but I had absolutely NO interest in that stupidity. Glad Cleo is gone though. Her twitchiness and that gawd-awful speech thru those silly teeth made me want to scratch and pop some nerve pills. :)

Today's the first time I've watched in awhile. Wasnt interested in the Branson fiasco and the whole Paul, Meg and Craig mess is just plain boring. I live for Jack and Carly as you probably know by now. Can't stand what they are doing to these two characters. What the hell is wrong with Jack? I hear the conversations he has with Caty and I just shake my head. And what the hell is Carly doing going along with Brads ridiculous schemes. They are horrible.

I wish they would just make Carly ignore Jack and get on with her life. Nothing attracts a man's attention more than when you ignore him for pete's sake. Lord, please hurry up with this storyline already. It's very hard to watch. And what's with Caty thinking he's going to propose? How long have they been dating for pete's sake? Lord she just got divorced!! So stupid.

Today is the first time in a long time I actually liked Dusty today. Man I really felt for him. He really rocked his senes today. I felt for Emily too but please....just stupid. Why didn't she just say I need some time to think about this. Maybe she did....I missed the last few minutes of their conversation.

I'm actually liking Dusty and Emily and I don't know why? lol

Well, the Kack crap by itself would have left a bad taste in my mouth...and it took me a while to figure out Carly hadn't just "dropped by" to try and wheedle Jack into letting her have Sage for the night, she was following Brad's plan.

I know peeps are mad at Jack, and I think he's insane for going within 100 yards of that twit. But I see Jack as extremely defensive around Carly, and using Fluff as armor. So today's eppy, with Jack and Carly being more like themselves than they've been in almost two years just overshadowed the thought of what Jack's intentions with Katie were.

Plus, it doesn't hurt that Katie's being set up for a huge fall. :D

I don't know what to say about Emily. On one level, I understand she's upset. But given her recent-recent activities, how she can criticize anyone for their behavior just makes no sense to me. It was only a year and a half ago she was rolling Paul off the cliff after shooting him. Not that every bad thing she's ever done needs to be brought up, but c'mon...she and Dusty were barely friends. Alison is her sister-daughter, and if that was emphasized more, maybe I'd get her indignation about Dusty "using" Ali. But Em seems stuck on the porn star vs. hooker arguement.

    • Vanessa was flirty with Smitty, and it was weird. Smitty didn't think anything about it was cute or fun. The sex talk between Cody and Vanessa at Orphey Gene's? Also weird af. We needed either a longer scene or another scene to make any of that work. Vanessa is coming off like a nymphomaniac. Forced for plot convenience, just as it was when we saw Eva (HUH???) in that casino backroom. Sorry, none of this casino stuff works. I thought the same thing -- I enjoyed all the different character groupings, but the dialogue was not natural and didn't flow. Yep, kinda weird. I don't get it. Of course, I also don't get the discussion of not having Doug as the surgeon. Is he the only doctor anyone trusts? Then we have June's entire heart procedure talked about, performed, and over within 20 minutes of screen time. -- Cady McClain gives us a different variation of that accent every time she appears. The dialogue between Pamela and Dani is too cute by half. -- BTG, please stop mentioning Martin's run for the presidency. -- I hope we're not going to see Ted soften towards Dana and be taken in by her line of bull. She just blew up his life, and I don't want to see him sympathize with her in any way.
    • Agree.  But I would describe him as being disappointed not bitter. 
    • >>><<< Great minds!  Kat certainly does prove that point. She's been given a lot to work with, so we shouldn't be bored of her anytime soon. I am interested in all her storylines at the moment, and curious how the show will use the affair to impact her romances and business stories. Well, what movie was it? Cause… I noticed it too. The first couple of seconds of the song were slightly different. OMG! Great call, precisely the same situation.
    • I think Kin was dissatisfied at GH in as much as Scotty had been pushed aside for Luke/Laura and the writing was doing him no favors as Scotty was now seen as an obstacle to their romance. So with his contract up he was offered big $$$ to move to Texas, which you can't blame him for. In addition to the money, I recall he was promised that Jeb would be a more dynamic character than Scotty. The money came through but not the story, so  don't blame him for being  slightly bitter.

    • A random thought - June is related to Hayley AND Tyrell and Samantha. Hayley and June are sisters separated when young. Years later June's children Ty and Sam end up being adopted into the Dupree family, coincidentally giving Hayley a further link to that family.
    • He spoke highly of the cast but was disappointed in his lack of story.  He was not disrespectful and he has the right to express his feelings.
    • I like Nicole the most, because she's the only normal person, even if she slides into psych-analyzing speak. I like Anita--but I suspect that's more about my attachment to Tamara Tunie. I'm on the fence about Dani--but I don't see her as the underdog vs. Nicole. Dani had her a fabulous life. Nicole might not have lived in her sister's shadow, but it seems like Dani gets the attention in the family.
    • I definitely wouldn't mind seeing him again. I understand.  BUT...a start.
