What is wrong with John? I wanted to choke him yesterday. I'm tired of him talking about finding out the truth, and what ever BS he claims... because he sure didn't have that attitude with Natalie. If he's so right about Marcie, why doesn't he just confront her with the Tommy secret? Michael was right about him; it's like he wants it to be him or Marcie to justify him spilling everything and taking Tommy from them.

As for all the hints they dropped about the "killer"... did they any of that? I can't seem to remember.

I agree...I loved the Marcie telling Nora that she could kick her ass. As much as I love Marcie (which is a lot), I was thinking 'with what, a step stool? Because that's the only way you could reach her ass.' I know I'm mean, but I thought that was funny. And I loved Marcie's dress and hairdo. I think she is beautiful.

I also liked Nora's reaction to finding out that Lindsay would be receiving the award.

Bitchly Natalie was great today seeing through Jared's act. BTW, did anyone else notice that one of the pictures on her desk was of Jessica, Kevin (Dan Gauthier), and Joey (Nathan Fillion)? I thought that was odd to show those two in particular in the picture. Makes me wonder if at least one of them might return for a longer stay someday.

Call me crazy but I like Sarah. Cristian leaves a lot to be desired, however.

Roxy cracked me up today...especially when she reminded Lindsay of the curse associated with the WOTY Award, with Rae, Nora, and Evangeline.

Clint/Dorian were tolerable today.

I still can't stand Nash. He is very annoying and irritating.

What is it with John these days? He's either lusting after Marty, carrying on a conversation with his dead daddy, talking to himself, or grilling a murder victim about who killed him. He needs some therapy and fast. I'm all for anything that will get him off my tv screen.

Yep, and I can't wait. :) Looks like Ron is setting up the main storyline being the Todd/Marcie storyline with the underlying stories. Looks promising. I did see today though, Ron saying in SID that he is going with John and Marty. Hopefully, it will make John likeable again.

Yeah I am losing my John Love, If today he had only said ,,, "Marcie isn't capable of murder" I might have cared about hom again but all he said is she doesn't know the Tommy secret. He has the nerve to say Marty isn't capable, (cause he has known her so long and knows her so well :rolleyes: ) but Marcie who he has known for years and supposedly loves her like a sister well she is capable,,, GMAB John

I got a kick out of the Nora and Marcie line as well but honeslty When Marcie said maybe Nora just shouldn't go I had to agree with her. Why should Nora be forced to present an award to Lindsay? She agreed when she thought it was someone else, if it had been Lindsay all along she either wouldn't have been asked or she would have declined, I don't think anyone could blame Nora for making her apologies and asking Marcie or someone else to do it for her.

But deep down I can't wait to see it becasue I read HBS and CH's interview in SOW and it sounds like it will be really funny.

:lol: Really?

The only way I would totally love/like John... is in death.

Marcie/Nora, LMAO! I love how Marcie sticks up for her friends though. She got through to Nora, when she told her about how she helped her.

I was hoping someone would bring up the WOTY curse, good nod to history... because I totally forgot about Rae being a victim too.

So far, on Marcie and Michael's side of this storyline... John has dewelled on Tommy being Todd's more than Rex and Michael combined. As far as I'm concered, it's all about him and his decision now. They spend way more time on him and his dilemma, than on Michael decision to keep it from Todd and Marcie.

I'm still waiting for John to get his ass kicked from Michael (which will never happen, he'll eventually start defending him again) and the silent treatment from Marcie.

      One of the dumbest situations (Lando) ever. What audience member is going to invest in a storyline with a recast they don't like and a triangle where one character is short-term? It bombed as it should have done. So much of JFP's tenure just reeks of desperation. I don't get how someone could produce SB (which did have flaws but was often brilliant) but make so many terrible mistakes at GL.   I still think JFP would have worked better as a director and music supervisor. Her music work at SB was top notch.  It just seems that Rea was minimized during JFP's tenure because I can't imagine her okaying so many of these casting choices.

      We see the same with GH, where Mark Teschner, the casting director, reportedly has less say since Frank Valentini took over. Some producers want to take over every aspect of their shows.  I think Lando may have been a CBS push.

      No idea but she won Emmys & she was the Casting Director at the same time for both ATWT & GL. She hired Lisa Brown with no job for her. Then Marland made Brown his muse so he created both Iva & Nola for her. But, I think we know that Jill does what Jill wants.

      I did notice a decline in the quality of the performers being cast once Betty R vacated/retired from her position. We would have been spared from the nightmares of some of the castings that dominated the show in the last decade or so of the soap. JFP was an example of someone, no matter the gender, who had no business being in the position they were in.

      If Betty Rea was the casting director, why was so much of GL during JFP's reign cast by her? Walker, Deas, Crampton, Lando, etc. JFP takes credit for Dusay as well. What is the point of having a casting director, if you don't let her do her job? What happened when Rea left?

      So much on here slips my mind but this is the first I remember hearing of Peterson's passing. Very sad. Nell was a thankless role, clearly set up for a cheating storyline with Frank, but Peterson did her best.  Betty Rea Rea was the casting director for the soap opera “Guiding Light” from 1970 to 1996 and simultaneously the casting director for “As the World Turns” from 1979 to 1983.

      Sorry, just one more post on the Thorntons. How did Ruth and Edna feel about each other prior to Tad dating Dotty?

      I can't remember exactly but I think it may be 1995 as Jake was trying to hide from a loan shark.
