What makes the quicksand plot so odd is that Carly braced herself behind a big rock before she started pulling JJ out. He probably weighs less than her. So how does her body propel him OUT of it anyway? When she fell in, it looked like they were both swimming pretty easily.

I agree Roger. I want a Lily/Dusty reunion. Enough with Dusty and the porn star sisters. Put him back with Lily and watch Holden all of sudden give a damn about Lily....LOL.

Yeah that was so tacky...LOL. JJ was there longer and didnt go down and much smaller in height and weight. Yet, Carly goes straight down...LOL...Oy...Jean Passante you hack!!!

Well I for one loved today's episode. Although Katy is on my very last nerve :angry: I am glad this storyline is wrapping up. Listening to Katy talk about Carly drives me crazy. And when she said she'd have to take care of Jack AND JJ I wanted to smack her!! Thought it was weird in the previews for next week it didn't show Jack/JJ/ Carly? Strange.

I feel for Lily right now too. Wish they would give her a back bone and just tell Holden to shut up already. Really liked her with Dusty today. That could be an interesting plot to put her and dusty in each others orbit but we know that aint happening.

And last but definitely not least was the NUKE stuff. This storyline is great! Luke and Noah have great chemistry. I think poor Noah is so confused he doesn't know which way is up. But I still think this storyline rocks!!

Cant wait till next week.

I enjoyed most of today's show. To the person (or people) who wanted more today because they had already seen the kiss...well, whose fault is it that you already saw the kiss? I refused to view screencaps or clips and I was well satisfied with having the kiss at the end of the show.

I enjoyed pretty much everything except for the Carly/JJ/Jack [!@#$%^&*]. I'm sorry, but that stuff is so lame and old. How many times do we have to see Jack and Carly running around all sweaty, trying to save each other or one of the kids. I know Jack wasn't on today, but that's what this storyline has been pretty much since JJ was kidnapped by those two dumbasses.

I loved Lily, Dusty, and Cheri at the Lakeview. LMAO at Cheri's ease at lying to get the suites at the hotel. Lily was stupid for falling for it, but I can see how she did. Cheri needs to be made a regular character, damn it. Make her related to John Hughes or something.

The kiss was the main thing I was interested in...and I thought it was fantastic. I wish they would have made it more obvious that Noah was fighting feelings since the incident at the Snyder farm. The way it was presented, he was totally over it. But to have him be the one to instigate that kiss...it makes no sense. Had we seen an episode or two (ahem...Monday and/or Tuesday and/or Wednesday) of him constantly flashing back to that everytime he saw Luke and questioning it in his head...well that kiss would have made so much more sense. But I enjoyed it for what it was, immensely. That kiss was hot as hell and I'm so glad that Van and Jake have finally shown to me that they have chemistry together.

Ugh...this show would not be so bad (to me, at least) if they just trimmed some of this [!@#$%^&*] off and balanced everything out. I'm liking the Luke/Noah/Maddie storyline, the Gwen/Will/Iris/BBB storyline, and the Dusty/Alison/Aaron/Susan stuff. I sometimes like the Craig/Meg/Lucinda stuff, but I really deteste the Paul/Rosanna aspect and don't even get me started on Carjack's lame asses, along with Brad and Katie.

They should have made Robin M. the NuBetsy Andropolous. I think she would make a great Betsy. She is being wasted as Cheri. She and Dusty have a lot of chemistry too. But I would take a little romance between Lily and Dusty. Although the writers wont revist it. I doubt Jean the hack could even write a compelling romance between the two. HOlden has been a jerk to Lily anyways.

Excuse me, I don't think you read that I had a problem with the kiss being revealed early. If you saw everything I posted, it was clear that I saw it as a hollow moment when compared to the story around it. You even went on to elaborate the reasons why in the same manner that I did. :rolleyes:

Well at least he explained how it could have been done better. The lead up to it. It's better than saying it sucked and it had potholes without giving reasons why? I applaude him for that. Also considering he posts here a lot about ATWT while others barely even post here and then just bash the storyline without backing it up with facts. I am not referring to you stenbeck. :)

Well i just watched it and really enjoyed it..The kiss was very well done and i love the intensity between these two actors..they really do have great chemistry..and i like how Maddie's character plays in this story..It really is more realistic and adds more conflict...

Oh and it was nice seeing Austin Peck shirtless for one scene...

    • I hope they give him more to do than just be a prick as you say. I can see how viewers would like him because the actor is so charming despite the character being such an absolute pain.    I would agree. And there was also the undercurrent of Raven and Draper sort of flirting with each other. The actors play that attraction and it worked so well in that scene. 
    • Daniel Cosgrove is PERFECT as the sleezy politician. This might be my favorite role of his. All of these people keeping Kristina’s secret is so annoying. I really want her to pay.
    • What did happen to Beth between 86 and 89? Did she have amnesia?
    • I actually thought he came off as younger. It's so hard to buy Martin as Nicole and Ted's son unless they had him when they were 12.
    • @chrisml Isn't remarkable that, on a soap whose brand is built on twists and mysteries, that Raven's last straw was as simple as Logan saying that she was incapable of loving Jamey.  In the episode when Raven exit's and leaves Jamey with April, I can remember feeling the subtext that Raven is also trying to talk herself into leaving him behind.  There's so much in that little scene.  She's trying to stick it to Logan for saying she was a bad mother.  She's both granting April's wish, and damning her with the old adage of being careful what she wished for.  And, she's hinting to Draper that she's going to boff his father. It remains my favorite scene, and it still blows my mind that was not the end of that episode.  
    • Oh lord not Drew just figured out it was both Nina and Portia that set him up. Willow WILL never leave this man. Ric taking the case purely just to spite Sonny is [!@#$%^&*].ing hilarious.
    • And in addition to Patti being de-aged, she was no longer a nurse, divorced from Len(fair enough) and her two children were not seen and barely mentioned. So basically she was a totally new character. For newer viewers it didn't matter but any loyal viewers would have been wondering about all the changes with Patti. Sarah Whiting always puzzled me. The writers finally decide to acknowledge Jo's family and do so by making up a never mentioned adopted teen. Why not just bring in Tracey, Jo's actual grandaughter? As for Liza, perhaps it would have been wise to rest the character when Sherry left. They were big shoes to fill and her Liza was so identified with Travis. I don't recall what was going on in the story at that time but if they knew Sherry was leaving, write it so Liza would leave town to care for an ailing Janet and take a breather with the character for a few months.
    • Ahh interesting. Yeah, that's sad for A-M. I will say, he and Nick became fast friends when Susan started working at Spaulding. A-M/Lucy/Nick/Susan had a lot of double dates in those 7 months. A-M was Nick's best man at his wedding to Susan, which now that I think about it, is odd that he wouldn't have considered Fletcher. I remember those two were so close at the paper, and even living together with Ben. Once Tangie left SF, Nick left the paper, and Fletcher/Holly were rarely seen... so I guess they felt that friendship wasn't shown often enough anymore (which again, lazy writing).
    • I honestly don't think Alan-Michael ever really had a friend on the show. Maybe Cameron or Samantha, but otherwise... *Cameron was a high school friend who ended up dating teenage Dinah after she broke up with A-M. Samantha is Phillip's biological sister, who A-M treated like a sister. Interestingly enough, they were born the same week on the show in 1981, but A-M ends up being older than her when she returns to town in '89.
    • I thought he was very cute too, and a likeable presence even though on paper Cliff was a prick. I wonder if he was well-liked by viewers or someone at the show as there's a point in these episodes where he could have been written out and was not.
