ATWT: Friday July 13 Episode

Well I am hoping that the show Paul L is doing in Australia is a huge success and runs for many years. I too hate these short return visits and especially since he has admitted he just does it for the money. There is always destruction left behind and he is long gone and doesn't have to suffer or pay for it. I really hope that we have seen the last of him, but I know JP has said she would love to have him back. The only way I would want to see him back is if he comes and declares his undying love for Katie and the two of them ride off in the sunset together. otherwise I hope we have seen the last of Simon.

Did you notice that too?? It was so obvious in that SOD article that Michael isn't even TRYING to sell this crap anymore, and, in some ways, he was actually laughing at the absurdity of it all, like how silly it is for KACK to even be thinking about getting married this quick, and how unbelievable it is that Jack could afford to buy a huge, mega-caret diamond ring on a cop's salary especially since he's always complaining about being broke?? Oh yeah, "we were both hurt by others, we developed a friendship, so, OK, why NOT get married???"" really sounds like a ringing endorsement for happily ever after and true love eternal, doesn't it??

[P.J.]

I was going to add that that was the only way I'd want him back too...but I forgot!

Because no one mentions it. They mentioned it for about two weeks when Jessie Dunphy was cast in the role, and it sounded like they would do a story about it, but then it was dropped as Ali just went wild. I think Em mentioned it to Dusty once when this started, but it's never discussed in detail. I never thought it was treated as a secret when the story was actually done in the '90's, but now they act as if it is.

It's so funny how the actors know their characters better than the stupid HW writer! MP was right on with what he said in the SOD article. J. Pissanante doesnt have a clue!

[P.J.]

Great...so Kack is another incarnation of Kenry. *huge sigh* *chants mantra* by next week, it'll all be over but the crying...by next week...

[WorldTurner]

I think Michael thinks this is totally absurd and he knows the fans well enough to now that a lot of them will too. So I have to laugh at the comment about how he says why not give it a go? Isn't that romantic lol! Only a friendship is mentioned and nothing about love. And then he talks about how crazy it is that he's buying this huge ring. He's also said recently that there still is a connection between Jack and Carly. If Jack and Carly were over he would be trying to sell the new pairing but instead he is just trying to see the humor in it while it lasts and I think do some control damage for Jack. I really think the actual proposal is never going to happen. And my guess is the writers think then we will feel bad for Katie, but that ain't going to happen!

[P.J.]

That, to me is the worst thing. AZZHOLES, LISTEN UP....WE WILL NEVER FEEL SORRY FOR FLUFFY!!!! NEVER!!!! The more that bitch cries, the happier I am!

I've always been a CarJack fan. However, half the fun of CarJack has always been getting them together with an obstacle in the way. (The best, of course, was AP as Julia!) If Carly and Jack get together too quickly, it could turn into total boredom. I dislike the Kack pairing more than anything I've seen in a long time. Perhaps, an obstacle could be Katie finding out she's preggers after Jack and Carly get back together. You know those Snyder boys tend to have as many Baby Mamas as NBA players!

The Emily/Dusty/Ali story played out well for me. (Of course, because of KMH's leave, they had to do something that would send her away. I'm glad it wasn't something lame like Lance kidnapping her or that she's missing.) This is entirely believeable that she would be hurt. Em feeling like she's on the right track with her life, afraid to get involved because SHE always ruins it, only to find out that Dusty/Ali had this night together. (Glad they mentioned Em's affair with Chris when Ali was in love with him.) I only hope this story continues to give the awesome MM more story with her daughters.

Although they have a long way to go in reforming Craig, SB's ability to show emotion and vulernability is a huge first step. Throwing Babs into the mix always provides good entertainment. Now, we need to have some scenes with SB and MW. Carly has been in town for two months and hasn't crossed paths with Craig yet.
