She wasn't on today. I wouldn't say she hams it up. Lately I've felt like she was sleepwalking through her scenes as if she's bored with it all.

Today we had to endure more baby talk including watching a woman we've never seen before give birth in an elevator. As if there isn't enough baby chatter on this soap already.

Comparatively, a better episode than most this week. Take that as you will.

The Good...

...Kathleen Widdoes RAWKED today, giving Craig what for. This week had been like "Veteran All Star Week".

...Carly was back on, and her "Brad was right, you just want to be right" speech to Jack was a long time overdue.

....Brad. I think this is the first time EVER I can honestly say, I like someone who's acting opposite someone I truly can't stand. Austin Peck might not be Olivier, but damn if my opinion of him hasn't vastly improved over the year.

...I'm not sure what to think about Kit and Sam. I still think ventriloquists are creepy, and I don't like how Kit's just invited Sam in for the night. But at least they seem to be on Carly's side today. That's more than she usually gets. For now...I likey.

Meh....

....Hell Quad. All I could think was, "Meg's truly in love with Craig, Paul is a dog, and WOULD anyone hug someone after delivering a child in an elevator"?

The Bad...

...Katie. I'm sorry, can't stand her. NOTHING the chick does is EVER her fault. She's treating Brad like a piece of meat...but it's not her fault, she's just heartbroken. She's insulting, belittling, and superior...but hey, she's entitled because Jack betrayed her. She's making "life-altering decisions", but according to Jack, that's Carly's fault, because if she hadn't lied, Jack wouldn't have left, and Katie wouldn't be forced to ask Brad for sperm. Whatever...but I wish to HELL Jack knew little Katie was BEGGING his brother to do her when she found out Jack and Carly were in Montana. At what point will anyone tell Katie she's acting like a spoiled brat?

...Jack and Margo. Today Mutt and Jeff double team Carly; Jack yells at her for associating with criminals, and Margo makes it her business to check out code violations in Metro. Margo is a vindictive little bitch who should be remembering both her sons are criminals too. Jack, I've already discussed. But both of them excusing Katie's impulsiveness just grated on my nerves.

Same question I have :(

It was just dreadful from start to finish, that friggin puppet has taken the cake for me, I almost tuned out at the point. Frankly I am to the point where I am almost done, JP is never going away or getting any better. If I did not know good things were coming for Nuke I would be gone, hopefully while I am waiting for that, the rest of the show will get better, but like I said I think it is pretty much hopeless at this point.

I mean really as if the babies were not enough, puppets, friggen puppets. :angry:

The puppet...the stupidest thing I have seen in daytime. It was even worse than Cleo. I couldnt believe what I was watching. I thought the same thing you did Clint. I thought how many people are turning off their TV during this ridiculous puppet [!@#$%^&*]!! I felt so sorry for Michael Park, Ellen Dolan, Maura West and Wally Kurth for having to put up with this [!@#$%^&*]!

I agree I flet sorry for them also.

I don't know what I was watching either, it sure was not ATWT, atleast not the one I once knew. I just wish CG could get that JP is washed out, she is worn out, whatever she just plain does not have it anymore, if she ever had it to begin with, she needs to go. If ATWT any hope beyond July 2008 she needs to go now.

Sadly I think our ratings are about to test those lows again, so sad, we were headed in the right direction, that is before the word Baby and Puppets took over the show.

    • Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that
    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

          Betsy Snyder, when she was at DAYS was part of the WGA winning writing team before she died, tragically far too young.  
    • Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?    
    • But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
    • You know one of the soap outlets posed that question just last week: Who do you want Trina with Spencer or Kai? And, of course, the picture of Spencer was NAC. I said, well, a lot. I chose Kai. I said that Spencer had been an entitled brat & that some people valued him over her, when I valued her above all others. I guess we'll see.
    • You're right. The only thing I can think of is if GH finally decides to bring back Spencer.
    • Sharon Rose Gabet told me on Facebook that she calls this "Baby Raven".
    • I imagine the storyline would now segue into Laura's accident. But I hope they manage to keep Leslie around though. I really don't want her to be written out, or get the DOOL treatment where she just pops up every so often to cause some short term trouble; the character and the actor were such a find.
