Really good show today, a tad bit plot driven in parts, but still good. I really think Luke is not going to put up with Noah's actions for very long. I totally love that Katie is going on a trip, hopefully off screen. I loved the Snyder family moments. I totally loved Dusty threatening Cheri with Winston, Maddie and Noah watching, I wonder what happens next? Loved the previews for Wednesday's show, Carjack look good, and so do Luke and Noah.

For anyone interested, Cole's surname is Norbeck.

Kind of "blech-y" day....FAR too much Katie and her fake-y pious "understanding" of her "adult" relationship. Yeah, sure, honey...your newfound mature attitude is why you suddenly decided to sidestep another direct question about whether she trusts Jack. Or distrusts Carly. I's call it running like a scared bunny after seeing/hearing the Carjack family in action. Teeheee....run, bitch, run. Serves you right for dropping by the ex-wife's house anyway.

Then there was Jack. Hey, buddy. Maybe you should tell your kids you've engaged yourself to the Queen of the CounterTop before you go setting a date?

Brad, Brad, Brad....now you're going to run interference for Katie? Grow a set and just do nothing. He's already whipped, and all Katie's done to earn his loyalty is abuse the snot out of him and promise him nothing. Although I guess this means they truly are friends, which means she'll be sleeping with him soon enough.

Carly...you're looking good. Your trust in Jack is touching...too bad the writing's making him look like a complete ass.

LOL...I should sympathize with Alison, but it's not like we haven't seen that exact clip of Dusty/Ali sexin'....and it's hardly as titillating a "performance" in bed as any of those DVD's Ali consented to make. Just exactly how big is Dusty's address book, if minutes after it had been posted it had 11000 hits?

Oy...dramatic plot device overload in the Noah/Major/Luke scenes. :rolleyes: Great...I guess Noah lives at the Lakeview too, if he's offering to shack up with Maddie? Yes...because all interns "saving" for college would live there.

Hey, has Luke's going to college this fall ever even been mentioned?

Ok, what the hell was that today? I am so sick if JACK!!! And I hate that because Jack is my favorite male character on any soap!!!! I am trying to understand how when you just find your son who has been kidnapped that you are running after your pathetic whiny fiance to see if she's okay and leave your kids behind??? This is not the Jack we know and love. I don't even know who he is right now!!! He gives Carly all these looks, agreeing to sleep at Carly's house with the kids(can u say plot driven?) and right after running back from begging Fluffy for her understanding and trying to get her to set a date!!! Please tell me they are going to turn this storyline around soon. It is becoming really stupid and very hard to watch. And what the hell is wrong with Brad? I don't understand him either. Can u say trying to hard? Watching him grovel after Katy is horrible as well. UHHHHHH....that's all my venting about CARJACK or the lack there of....lol

Really felt for Allison today....man she can't get a break!! Was nice to see Aaron at least feelling for her today. Instead of always bitching about her. And not liking Gwen's attitude about Allison....pretty stupid.

And what is up with Noah's father. Starting to see why Noah is in the closet!!! Can you say interfering control freak. Poor Luke....Can't wait for tomorrow to see the Luke stuff ....previews looked good

Looks like Gwen has some explaining to do. I guess she just forgot to mention that she had a brother and that he is BBB.

Boy is Wil in for a surprise. My guess is that Ali knows about the brother but is too busy with her own problems to say anything. Notice how Gwen's whole attitude toward Ali has change, they used to be friends.

In my book Jack has always been an a ss, from the minute he first came back to town through both Julia's and with his constant condesending and patronizing treatment of Carly. He and Katie deserve each other.

It was either the Lakeview or Emma's. :rolleyes: Not only has there been no mention of college but it seems that Lily and Holdumb have forgotten he's alive.

Just wait til they find out he's in love and bout to get married. :lol:

Well it was record time for me today since I am back at work. So I start watching and forget that I am not watching live. :lol: Then I start thinking and say like Brad Snyder..."Duh"....I can ff some of this crap!! :lol: The whole Dusty/Allison porn on the net fiasco was pure FF material for me. Thank gawd for the ff button. :) Aaron and Sofie...again ff button took a hit.....LOL. I watched most of the Carly/Jack/kids/Fluffy/Brad stuff but couldnt stomach Fluffy's crying and Jack being a total a$$!!! The only thing I truly enjoyed was the few minutes we got from Nuke and Dear old Sir Dad....LOL. Isn't it obvious that "Sir" knows something might be going on between his son and Luke? I like the way "Sir" tried to break Luke to spill everything. But Luke was so on to him that he didnt. :lol:

Call me crazy but I actually like Sophia and Aaron.... not a huge fan of this vesion of Allison... something about the way she holds her mouth irks me to no end but I digress.... as far as Alison and Aaron... either break them completely or do something else.... but PLEASE no Alison and Dusty.... had about enough I can take of Dusty....

What really saddened me about today's show..... how much I've grown to dislike Katie.... Fluffy used to be one of if not my favorite characters on the show but now.... I want her @ss gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's such a tool and an useless one at that..... where did her great love for Jack suddenly come from? And let not get stated on Jack.... the writing for him as of late..... irritating at the least.... I watch live so I don't get to do much fast forwarding so I'm close to pulling my hair out by the end of the show.... maybe some storylines will change soon and I can go back to loving my ATWT on a daily basis instead of every now and again....

I find that to be my main problem with Katie lately as well. It's like her throughline is completely gone. Before it was her love and devotion to Simon, then her friendship with Henry, and most recently, her love for Mike. The whole Jack thing seemed to come almost out of nowhere, as if the writers were just forcing them together because Maura was gone, and Mark Collier and Paul Leyden were leaving. I think Katie needed some time alone for the audience to warm up to her again, much like we needed that time back in the day after she tried breaking up Lily and Holden (though she was fairly quick to move on with Simon after that.) I think we've just had too much Katie in the last couple of years, and none of it really good.

Speaking of things that have been too much... if I ever hear talk of porn, prostitution or dirty videos on this show again, it will be too soon. Someone... please, do something!

And on a side note... seeing as how JJ just survived a recent kidnapping, one would think Jack and Carly would be a bit wary of allowing their kids to be left unsupervised. Just who was watching Sage and Parker when Jack and Carly got home with JJ? The two came out of the kitchen (where apparantly they were partaking in Oakdale's other past time of late other than pornography... baking) with no mention of who was watching them. Brad was at the farm... Katie hadn't arrived yet... maybe Emma' back from that little trip she's been on, but couldn't be bothered to leave the kitchen?

Yeah, I was gonna mention something about Parker and Sage just "bein' home and bakin' cookies for JJ"....but hearing Katie mention she'd taken them there would have sent me over the edge, so I just let it go.

I was never a Katie fan, but I'm feed up with the Carjack story being all about Katie. Jack is emotionally nowhere to be found in this story. In fact, it's rather annoying to listen to Jack claim he's the "stable" parent who's done nothing but put his kids first, when he's just as deluded about Katie as Carly was about Simon.

    • Nick told Victoria that he and Sharon had married in England.  Victoria was shocked.  Then she realized he was kidding.  He confirmed it was a joke and they're platonic. I don't even know what to say about that.
    • It's funny you say that because part of the entertainment of the trials on the show are all the day players who come on as witnesses and jurors.  I'm certain it was like the Law and Order of its time. It employed so many New York actors, that if you look close enough, there's usually someone vaguely recognizable in the courtroom.
    • I will defend Dante.  People already suspect he may be a bit unstable from time to time (from his time as a prisoner).  And, he's taking care of other people's kids from time to time.  So, he has reason to be cautious with those in his care.
    • Josh continues to try and milk Abbott/Newman rivalry. First it was Billy/Victoria, then Kyle/Summer, then Noah/Allie (that worked out well) and now Kyle/Claire. Do we have any inkling when Billy Flynn will arrive and who he will play? I'm sure Cole's illness will mostly play offscreen. What's in store for Nick and Sharon? Is it time to put them back together? I can't see any other romantic options. Nick has no children on the canvas to play off, as Christian is never seen. Sharon has only Mariah onscreen.
    • I would appreciate (if they're not coming), for future scripts to refer to them by their iconic hairdos.  For example, if Hope needs to call Chelsea because Bo has Sepsis, I'd like Shawn-D to say, "My Mom called Chelsea (the one with the sassy short black hair) for an update." Also, new rule, if Melanie does return, she needs to dye her hair back to red.  I googled who she was five times during Victor's funeral.

    • Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.
    • I thought Dante was overreacting.  Gio made some mistakes but he's young and he tried.  It's not like he dragged two 14 years to a party and made them get blackout drunk.  Dante can have the initial upset reaction, but to go on and on was a bit much.  
    • His (adoptive) nieces.  Chelsea and Stephanie.  I think Abby was involved too, but I am not sure if they are related lol.
    • That was such a dark story. I never liked Swamp girl after that. And then the dating your cousin thing. I think wasn’t Max in a triangle with two of his cousins?
    • Thank you, @j swift.  I'm probably more sympathetic to Draper Scott than most audience members are -- even though I'm absolutely CRAZY about Ann Williams & her bizarre Margo Huntington character

      The more I watch these episodes -- and I've watched several of them a zillion times, I'm ashamed to admit -- you realize there's a WHOLE lot of passive-aggressive hostility brewing inside Margo Huntington about Draper.  She wants to take April AWAY from him and recreate the childhood that she never got to experience with April, because of the adoption 25 years ago.  Draper has sense enough to realize how heartless and vindictive Margo really is about other people's lives and their feelings, but he bites his tongue rather than poison his wife's mind about how horrible her mother really is.  And I admire him for that.  He's a sweet boy.
