The CarJack stuff - Jack needs to be slapped. Vienna pimping Kack? ICK.

But... whoever wrote today remembered that Paul and Emily know each other very well, they lost a baby together, AND that Emily would be hit very hard by Paul's death - so I'll give that props.

While I would have much rather had an onscreen reaction from Emily...this is at least something.

Aaron is such a Snyder - Dusty/Ali wasn't horrible.

I really liked today's show alot, amazing what a show can look like without Gwen singing, someone trying to rape or kill Gwen. Hell I am even looking forward to Gwen and Carly's scene on Friday's show. I also liked the Dusty/Susan scenes with them remember the baby, that was a nice touch by the writer today, it seems to make the show better when atleast some history is remember once in a while, even more so maybe was the lady from Julia's past that showed up, it just felt like maybe we are finally going to get out of these tired storylines that we had been in for almost a year, well except for Katie/Jack/Carly they need to just either put Carly and Jack back together or just end this storyline already, it is taking up way to much airtime with very little ever changing, like I said though other than that great show.

As a CarJack fan it really didn't bother me. They practically had neon signs saying something is going to go very wrong and the "wonderful" proposal is not going to happen! They were painting it all to syrupy sweet and perfect for it to end well. I really think it is more like the beginning of the end for Kack! And at least Carly was reminding Jack of how things always turn out, which tells me the writers definitely plan on it all ending that way again.

What did make me angry was Jack's comment about things being so happy until Carly chose Simon. Ah what I recall was Jack walking out and ending the marriage and saying he couldn't take it anymore, long before Carly was ever with Simon. Carly is not the one that ended it all. And it's too bad he can't remember what he told Katie on the plane just before Carly's return, that he puts some of the blame on himself in this because it sure sounds like he has absolved himself of all of that now.

Aaron is a total jerk! Love Agim, but I am not liking Aaron. I enjoyed the Dusty/Ali scenes as well as Susan/Dusty even though I am not liking Susan these days. I'm glad they are showing Ali tempted with the meth again since in reality it doesn't seem as easy to kick as she did it.

Love Henry and Vienna but can't stand their pimping of Katie and Kack!

Parts of the show aren't that bad. As a Carjack fan, their discussion didn't upset me, per se. One, they need to hash some of this stuff out. I didn' like that Jack again threw the end of the marriage on Carly's shoulders, when JACK was the one who walked out, and then didn't stop Carly from getting the divorce, even when he wanted to. I mean, there's only so much that be "blamed" on Carly....uh, she tried, even after after she started seeing Simon, and last summer it was JACK insisting that they needed to "move on". Two, I think it's plain to see Jack's not that happy to be proposing to Katie...no wonder he's not convincing Carly of anything, when the guy looks like he's going off to the firing squad, and takes an extra second to answer (to something Carly said.) Three...well, it's Mikey and Maura together in a scene. No doubt there's a "better" reason to like something...but they're just so good together. :)

BUT OMG....skip anything Fluffy, or Fluffy related (don't be fooled by the Jack/Vienna scenes, it's all about Fluff). OMG. Talk about annoying. I'll admit my bias, but Katie blathering on and on about this "love" of Kack's was mind-numbing. (And Henry, Mike and Simon fans will be gnashing their teeth over Katie's latest declaration of complete happiness...it seems ALL of her romantic misfortune has just led her to this perfect, perfect relationship. GAG ME. Oh, and her "proof" Jack loves her...he told her about Carly's declaration. "She's not a problem anymore." LOL...oh, if she'd only seen the "sympathy" hug yesterday.

What is with Jack needing Vienna's help to pick out an engagement ring? He's bought quite a few of them on his own before.

Even Dusty gave me a little insight into Carjack. He was talking about Ali/Aaron, but it's true for Carjack too..."if you didn't love her, you could let it go." Aaron can't get the stuff with Dusty out of his head, and Jack keeps bringing up Simon.

It was nice seeing Susan, who wasn't going to give up Em's location to Dusty so he could "be there" for her in light of Paul's death. It was even nice seeing Yo's, where Ali got trashed. They've sure been dragging out some sets out of mothballs lately.

After seeing today's episode and busting a gut at Katie cheerleading her way into a little celebration over champagne with Vienna and Henry, I cracked up even more simply because I read some of the spoilers regarding Jack/Carly and her... All I got to say is she's going to feel like SUPER DUPER CRAP :lol:

    • Liam hasn't had a purpose in years, none of the Spencer's have. The Spencer family should be written off and let Finn adopt Kelly, he's more her dad anyways.  IMO I think SC seen the writing on the wall with Liam. Brad is never going to let the character grow or evolve. Even dying he's being wishy washy and a waffler lol. Scott out there asking for Liam to be a villain and paired with Ivy only for Liam to continue to waffle I'd rather see Scott back at GH as Dillon or Michael Quartermaine   But I dunno I read Scott has issues with Frank that stem from his time on One Life to Live Also all the Lope flashbacks where when Liam was married to Steffy and one of them was when Hope was telling Liam she was pregnant(he was married to Steffy then) lol
    • Thanks! I never venture back to re-watch that period of the show 
    • I was wondering about Liam wearing that hat for such a long time, as it was supposed to be covering up his surgery wound -- but he wouldn't need a hat for this long a period of time. Then I noticed everyone's wardrobe is the same, too, and realized that it's been the same "Forrester/Logan day" for two weeks of episodes. I guess he just got out of the hospital and all these episodes are discussing what happened?
    • I would have to say FD was the luckiest man in daytime who stayed way past any reason for him to be there, but yes, totally agree that Alan should have died at that point, which would have spared us more years on mustache twirling bombasity.   I know it was a big get to bring Joan Collins on, and I loved her Alex, but it would have been great at that point if they had just brought Amanda back. Phillip is named by Alan and Alex as the successor or head of family and head of the corporation, with the board and investors approval. Amanda (who is back to being Alan's daughter, it was one last "screw you" from Brandon to try to get Alan and Alex at each others throats) gets pissed and comes back to stake her claim and be a thorn in everyone's side. Meanwhile Liv is suddenly REALLY interested in Phillip as he will have a longer self life then Alan. Things unfold much as they did with Amanda coming back to thwart Liv as Alex did..and when the truth comes out Alan really does have a heart attack and kicks (for real, for good, no fake outs, no returns, he's dead..dead.) and then AM comes back (as Taggert originally planned before Weston came to stink up the place.) to make his claim also. Phillip' guilt over Alan's death and having no final reconciliation ( On his death bed Alan could say, "I am proud of you son, you have finally become a real Spaulding," right before he kicks. ) I also agree that Phillip was not always likable, which really I give GA credit for being brave enough to make him that way, which is exactly how Phillip should be.   Ed and Chelle were there, but she ran off the plane to chase J...(I kid you not, that is why we started calling her Slutchelle) and Ed ran after her. The reason they, and no one else was at the wedding was obviously to save money, so it would have made more sense to have it on an existing set then that dumb Universal Studios thing.
    • They probably threw in Rick because he's AM's cousin, Michelle should've been there too. I don't remember if Ed was still on the show at this point 
    • In the 2nd semi-final, I enjoyed Denmark and Luxembourg (plus France) the most. I was also positively surprised by Germany's performance, because usually our performances are ... well, lackluster, to put it nicely. The one country I did not expect to qualify was Armenia, but yeah, the staging probably helped a lot, because the song itself is just noise in my ears. I thought Serbia would make it instead. None of the Ex-Yugo countries made it to the Grand Final (first time since 2013), while all the Nordics and Baltics qualified. Recap of the 2nd semi-final:

    • I don't think they were prepared for Sherry Mathis to exit. I think the scripts were written well in advance and they didn't expect her to go. Louanne was on the very next episode and a terrible recast.  Erwin Nicholson made the same mistake in casting with Nicole on Edge but they gave the character some weeks or months rest before they brought in Jayne Bentzen, I believe.  As I stated above, in rewatching these posted episodes, I am making a guess that Mayer/Braxton wrote many weeks in advance because of the Spring 85 writers' strike.  While the strike lasted only two weeks, SFT is the only P&G soap that had writer credits through the two weeks of air shows that included the strike weeks. I also am guessing that Mayer was signed to a six month minimum (soaps typically have actors and writers on 13 week contracts) and Mayer was fired exactly at 26 weeks from the day his material first started airing.  He was a disaster for the show and Erwin was tired and not what the show needed although scoring Lambie as Lloyd was his top achievement (he lasted a little less than 1 year).
