First, I was impressed by the way they're handling this go-round of Inturn...I haven't been following it, and I had no clue that what's-her-face was in the competition. Last year, they spent the entire summer pimping Inturn and I grew to loathe it. I didn't think she was a good actress, but at least I thought that before I knew she was an Inturn.

LOL...why can't this show pick a version of the story and stick to it. Depending on which part of Katie you listened to you could have thought 1) she had no clue about Jack's condition (when she talked to Margo) 2) she was calling the hospital every ten minutes (what she claimed to Henry) or that 3) Carly had chased her away from the hospital during the night. THEN, they've got Jack remembering that he saw Katie while being hauled into the ambulance, but he doesn't remember if he said anything to her. UGH...sometimes this show drives me nuts!

Obviously, there's no doubt in Katie's mind about what Jack meant. (BONUS...two (of hopefully hundreds) of Jack saying...."I love you too....Carly.") And did ya see that little witch had that engagement ring on while talking to Margo!?!?! The gall of that bitch is unfriggin'believable. Teehee...I can't wait to see which of Katie's handmaidens ends up spilling to either Carly or Jack what Jack said, Margo or Henry.

I still don't get why paying the ransom was so bad. Had the kidnappers just wanted to kill JJ, they could have just left him in the building to die. Whether the ransom was paid or not. Loved the Carjack stuff...sucker that I am. Trust is their issue, it just means different things to them.

And I really don't get why Lily's keeping her involvement from Holden. Yes, she gave Carly the money, but Holden offered to do the same. Carly took the heat for it with Jack...it's not like anyone would have held it against Lily anyway. She's made of teflon, for pete's sake.

Craig/Meg...eh. I did like that Craig drove home the point Meg's made a habit of being "talked into stuff", by men she ends up lovin'. The Paul-during-the-baby-switch was right on point.

LOVED CZP today!!!!

Did Katie have the engagement ring on? I thought maybe Terri actually forgot to take off her own wedding ring off especially since it was off when she was talking to Henry. I know it showed in a preview on Friday and now I am wondering if one day she just forgot and wore her own rings. It kind of looked different to me than the engagement ring we saw.

Margo needs a muzzle on that mouth of hers... She of all people shouldn't be down on Carly wanting to do whatever she can for her child; too bad Margo don't know the real deal about her precious son Adam....

Once again Holden is pissed at Lily; nothing changes in that relationship...he gets mad at her and then he wants to analyze if they should be together; it never changes.

The show was good today....liked the Carly/Jack stuff ( of course, but also kinda liked the Craig/Meg scenes too.

God, I wish someone would tell Margo to STFU! She's almost as rabid about blaming Carly (and taking out some misdirected anger on her) as Fluffy was last fall. Margo wasn't objecting to Carly paying ransom, when it was Craig who needed money to keep his kids safe from the Asian mob years ago. Boy, I almost hope Adam is recast with Casey, and Momma Margo realizes one son let her other son sit in prison (avoiding big burly men in the showers) to avoid prosecution.

I just think Meg's a total hypocrite. I hope Paul opens up a can of whoop ass on her ala the humiliation of Rose at the altar.

I still think that was the engagement ring Katie was wearing. Teehee...I forgot. Tomorrow's previews show Carly helping Jack get dressed. LOL...hope Katie walks in on them.

And I really don't like how Henry has gone back to being Katie's hand-holder. THAT woman doesn't deserve friends. HENRY! WAKE UP!!! Katie was going to sell you down the river with Simon and Carly!

Good show today. It had a lot of vets on. But the writing still stinks. Way too much repetitive dialogue. At least Carly admitted to paying the ransom. I wish Lily would have come clean. Holden being pissed off about it is so typical. It's just another absurd obstacle for Lily and Holden. They need a storyline of their own. Gawd, can Scott Bryce get any hotter...hehe. Meg...blah...the same repetitive [!@#$%^&*]!!! with Craig. I hope she ends up alone. She truly deserves it. Fluffy lying to Jack(who looked hot btw laying in that hospital bed..mmmmmm) about what he said the night before. Hmmm...your halo is crooked Fluffhead! :lol: Nice seeing Margo but that inturn contestant sucked big time! Why couldnt they have hired someone else. I hope she does not win! And it was great to see Barbara two days in a row!

Scott Bryce is old enough to be my father and he has me mesmerized. :lol:

Yes, Meg is a total hypocrite but Craig is calling her on her [!@#$%^&*]! I think that alone should count for something. Am I the only one who continuously chuckles at the things Craig tells Meg when she gets overly defensive?

Loved Babs telling that one nurse to back off. :lol: I haven't seen that side of Barbara in a while! I've missed her.

I FF through all things Katie or Margo...and Jack & Carly...if they're talking about their relationship or Jack's relationship with Katie. I just don't care for that triangle at all.

I've read that Katie will continue to walk in on close moments between the two of them up till (spoiler: so highlight if you want to read) they head off to Idaho, where there will be more moments between them ala NO FLUFFY... While they are away, you know who will be most likely be putting the move on old Fluff head.

^^^LOL...I was kind of being snotty. Every week since Carly's return, Katie's walked in on a "close moment" between Carly and Jack. So, this week, it's either walking in on Carly dressing Jack (which was in the previews) or Jack hugging Carly (which is in the promo) and telling her he's going to get JJ back, and he wants her to believe that.

Why is it that all the stories on ATWT move at lightening speed, except the one I want...Jack shedding Katie like cheap rabbit fur? :lol:

    • So, Roman admitted that everything he did was to protect Johnny. I like that. It adds another dynamic to this storyline. And it’s also a much better use of the character of Roman. He’s been stuck in the Pub for too long lol I’m also really liking the way that Roman and Kate’s relationship has been written lately. As for Josh Taylor’s voice… no comment

      And speaking of relationships, I’ve also been seeing improvements in the relationships between Johnny and Paulina as well. I enjoyed their scenes today. They really feel more like an actual mother in law and son in law. I’m cringing a little at the way that Paulina would’ve been written had Ron stayed on a little longer. This type of writing is the exact thing that the character of Paulina needed, especially for a storyline like this.  I am a little intrigued with the idea of EJ and Xander going head to head over buying the hospital too, mostly because of how it could drive other storylines, couples, etc.,like EJ and Belle. Him basically using Belle as his own personal fixer, both with Johnny and the hospital board could lead to something interesting happening in the future. And Philip, doing whatever he can in order to get back in Xander’s good graces is a good addition to this storyline as well.  Btw, I don’t dislike it at all but I still can’t believe that they’re

      And yeah, sorry, I know that Days means well but I think they’re making a little too much out of this Xander/Felicity thing. But Xander and Sarah were sweet today. I’m looking forward to seeing everything between them get blown to hell.  Seriously, one of the worst, if not the worst, team in soap history. 
    • Thanks for letting me know! I thought there was a preemption until CBS confused me by uploading Monday's episode on Friday.
    • Lucky Day is an awfully good Doctor-lite episode focused on Millie Gibson and Jemma Redgrave - I am glad the show brought in Varada Sethu who continues to give major Caroline John/Liz Shaw vibes, but Millie was always very good in what felt designed to be a single arc companion and she's very good here too. She deserves a bit more somewhere in the franchise. The depressingly relevant storyline aside, I was most impressed by the showcase for UNIT and Kate Stewart. Jemma is always good but she was amazing here, noting the Doctor would've stopped her from going all the way re: Think Tank if he were there. Yet it's the kind of brute force her father could and did resort to in extreme situations back in the day. I almost hoped she would allow Conrad to be killed right then and there, which is something I think the Brigadier also would've done when backed against a wall over operational control and the safety of the Earth. She came very close, and the steel Redgrave exhibited (as always) was amazing. Whatever spinoffs can still materialize given the current streaming climate and DW's uncertain future (I do think it will continue somewhere, but I would not be shocked if it's back to a run of holiday specials for awhile a la Tennant's and Whittaker's), aside from the upcoming odd Sea Devils miniseries that's in the can, I still hope UNIT and Kate can get a proper one sometime.
    • I think it was just him  And it gave good explanations as to why Alistair was the way that he was. By the time the series ended, he was just evil for evil’s sake 
    • To me, that made no difference. The point stands whether Eva wants to be a Dupree or not. Anita was 110% on top of things. Also it's a logical inference that Eva might be interested in having a place in her supposedly real family. Frankly though I wonder if Eva knows how to feel ... yet. She could really be confused.
    • Does Jack ever dress in drag during that early '00s period where he was trying to get Jennifer back...or does he just fake being gay around then?
    • Here you go, by special request! https://www.instagram.com/p/DJlXDnWJImW/ DAYS 9-26-90 Matt Ashford as Jack Deveraux in drag Edit to add: They let him be pretty!
    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
