Members petunia Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 Well I thought todays show was great!! Love Lily in self destruction mode....lol. And Holden was finally Holden today. Loved Dusty telling Holden to get off his self righteous crap too. Man can you tell the writing is on the wall now with Dusty...lol. Every time someone threatened him we get the old duh duh duh duh music...now that was funny. However hurry up and bring me some Carjack....going through withdrawl.

Members P.J. Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 1. So, will this addiction of Lily's be wrapped up again in two weeks? 2. Taking bets right now that the news of Em's hooking will never reach Tom's ears. 3. Run, Aaron, run! 4. Why, oh why, can't we be dealing with Barbara's cancer instead of this tripe? A victim I care nothing about, breaking up a couple that's barely more than a plot point, at a party dealing with a ridiculously named bio-chemistry research. *groan* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stenbeck212 Posted January 18, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 (Wonders why P.J. still watches the show.) I loved it. Martha Byrne is great at adding layers to Lily's escapist nature. 20 years ago she would have just run away. Now she can turn to pills when she isn't satisfied. The way she tried to give Tom and Kim hints about Emily was divine. Holden is a real oddball though. He gave Lily the blame for being an addicted mess and withheld compassion before, but now her out-of-control descent is Dusty's fault entirely! Still, he was pretty sexy flying into a rage on Lily's behalf. To make Lucinda a suspect in Dusty's demise in that regard is doubly silly. But my biggest gripe is not knowing what Memo 21 is all about. This plot is the equivalent of mystery meat, and I'm not eating until I know what Chris and Evan's motivations are. Gosh, I mostly wonder when Chris' voice is going to change! Susan's absence was strange... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 Perhaps I missed something, but did it seem as if the "party" was being held in someone's hospital room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 Eternal optimism. I'd freakin' LOVE to watch Barbara's cancer story unfold. A week devoted to Dusty bores the crap out of me. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stenbeck212 Posted January 18, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 I know good and well that you saw Wednesday's show, because you posted in the thread about it. I forgot to mention the insanity of Chris calling Emily's tryst with Dusty a DEALBREAKER! No, not her vajayjay becoming Oakdale's latest tourist attraction. Only getting boned by his worst enemy could be offensive. Who's writing the show now, anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members P.J. Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 Letting a bunch of twenty-somethings backtalk her is not watching her cancer story unfold. The two minute scene with Lisa was a nice nod to history....but I want the action centered on Barbara. And more than once a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 Finally, some posting about yesterday's show. I thought it was a great show. It was a bit over the top. And I agree Susan was missing in the eppy. She should have been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stenbeck212 Posted January 18, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 "Centered on Barbara?" Do you want her all alone or something? I don't get it. In this phase of the story, the cancer (which hasn't even been called cancer yet) is her secret. Yes, she should be on more, but it's only sensible to display the state of her relationships with the very people she's afraid of confessing to. My big gripe is that Barbara has lent NO support to Kim during Bob's health crisis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 I agree about the Barbara and Kim stuff. She is being isolated from that story. If Marland was writing it you know Barbara would have been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted January 19, 2008 Members Share Posted January 19, 2008 No, I don't want her alone. But there's nothing at stake for her to keep this secret, other than working the pity factor. (It doesn't help that they just had Carly do the same thing not too long ago...) Watching her get slapped down by Will and Sophie...that's interesting?? We (okay, I...) don't really need a reminder that the state of relations with her kids is bad...it's always in the toliet. I understand (or could) that she wouldn't want to tell Kim, given Bob's hospitalization. But not telling Lisa? WTF? It's not like they're on the outs, unless we're supposed to believe everyone in town disapproved of her role in trying to get Willen a baby, especially now that they have the very child she tried to arrange for them to get anyway.

Members stenbeck212 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 19, 2008 Perhaps Babs should be forced into attending a public event where she's forced to risk other people hearing her impediment. Then again, Lisa is no spring chicken and even she could hear it, yet Will hasn't noticed a thing yet! Thank goodness we won't have to endure a secret positive diagnosis too. The biggest problem in filtering this through Barbara's isolation is her long drought without a man. Damn, can't somebody flash a little chest hair in her direction?
