Members GuidingAnotherWorld Posted February 7, 2008 Members Share Posted February 7, 2008 I am glad this murder mystery is overwith. And I'm sorry, but IMHO Ryan couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. Though I liked seeing Lily, Lucinda and Holden get more screentime. I'm also glad this Lily/Holden breakup drama seems to be coming to an end. So at least something good came out of that storyline. Chris was a dick to Bob right before he had his stroke and there is no excuse for that, but I'm really glad to see that he wasn't actually involved in trying to make Bob sick. I thought the first two scenes with Luke and Noah were kind of fun (but very unexpected), however I liked the last part the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Laurie Posted February 7, 2008 Members Share Posted February 7, 2008 I loved Lily and Holden today. Loved that last scene with the girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stenbeck212 Posted February 7, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 7, 2008 Somebody ought to slap Lily. At least when she lost Worldwide, Lucinda knew it was because of the pill popping. Evan didn't announce that he would murder anyone who stood in his way, and La Walsh is always a thorough business woman, so there's no way she would know he was a wacko.

Members kelly1142 Posted February 7, 2008 Members Share Posted February 7, 2008 Van is looking just dreamy lately I loved the Paul/Emily look at the end. I don't like Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 7, 2008 Members Share Posted February 7, 2008 It was great seeing all the vets today. Evan's and Chris's acting was pretty bad today. Good thing Lucinda and Lily were there to make the scenes shine. As much as I enjoy seeing Nuke...the dialogue was a bit too much. Talking about porn?? The scab writers sure aint the writers we used to have. Van did look real hot today. Too bad no one clued him in that his folks and his grandma were in danger.

Members P.J. Posted February 8, 2008 Members Share Posted February 8, 2008 Horrifically bad ending to a bad story. Someone should slap Lily...how she has the gall to sniff her nose at Lucinda and blame her for Dusty's death is beyond me. Wasn't it just this time a year ago, EIGHT babies, including her own son Ethan, were nearly killed by e.coli thanks to her drug-assisted business decisions? Does Lucy share in the culpability? Sure...but you can add Chris, Em (Dusty wouldn't have even been "a threat" to Evan, if he hadn't been obsessed with nailing Chris to prove to Em she should be with him instead), Lily (who caused Lucinda to lose the company in the first place), Meg (who didn't give it back), Paul, Craig and OH YEAH...Evan the killer. I found myself liking Chris today. Not in the Evan scenes (but IMO no one could save those scenes, not even Liz Hubbard), but standing up to Emily and calling her on the bitch that she is. Nuke...sorry, I officially give up. They are 20 going on 90, preachy walking afterschool specials for tolerance. Blah, blah, blah...today's lecture is: the lack of gay role models in the media today. Talk about a fast acting sedative. OMG...I cringed through the "oral fixation, wink wink, nudge nudge" talk. I can see it now...we just got rid of one baby centered plot (The Hell Quad) and it's obvious after today's talk, Noah and Luke will walk right into another one. BARF. You'd think at least the ScabsInCharge could think of a different obstacle for this couple. At least for a week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted February 8, 2008 Members Share Posted February 8, 2008 Jean Passanante's attention span doesn't last that long, P.J. Besides, we're about plot now, on ATWT. Logic schmogic, we've got (babies to kill and) ratings to bring up! (And thus concludes the sarcastic portion of this post.) Try as I might, I just can't hate Emily. I feel sorry for the poor dear. Between her alcoholic mother, and a father she never got to know growing up, it's no wonder she bases her entire self-worth on who she spreads her legs for at the moment. Should the girl make better choices? Hell yeah. But, as my mother likes to say, it all comes down to home training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted February 8, 2008 Members Share Posted February 8, 2008 I hate Emily for exactly the opposite reason (I think..). I've heard her whine for years about how her choices are all Susan's fault. It not only got old, that bs excuse ceased to exist for me when she knowingly bedded Diego/Umberto and then tortured blind Samantha for kicks. Emily knows the difference between right and wrong, she just makes selfish choices. And she's never sorry until or unless she gets caught. LOL...I just hate her...not love to hate her.

Members Soapsuds Posted February 8, 2008 Members Share Posted February 8, 2008 I prefered Melanie Smith's trampier version of Emily. You felt sorry for her no matter what she did. But I doubt we will ever see Ms. Smith in the role again. Goutman doesn't want Oakdale characters to have multiple layers. He wants the characters of Oakdale to be one note and hated.

Members GuidingAnotherWorld Posted February 8, 2008 Members Share Posted February 8, 2008 My thoughts exactly. And as far as Chris goes, to me everytime he gets mad he looks like he's smelling rotting cabbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted February 8, 2008 Members Share Posted February 8, 2008 So did I. However, it's hard to blame KMH's version of the character on Goutman, she took over the role about seven years before he even got there. It's hard to believe KMH has played the role for fifteen years (5 times longer than Melanie Smith), and I still consider her a bad recast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stenbeck212 Posted February 8, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 8, 2008 I have a soft spot for KMH. She and I started ATWT at the same time. I was glad when she received an Emmy nomination too. Besides, I think Emily has developed an inner hysteria that wasn't there before the recast. But come on, she's been a desperate shrew since the Melanie Smith years. Is there really a difference between whining over Brock and whining over Chris?

Members P.J. Posted February 8, 2008 Members Share Posted February 8, 2008 Yes, MS' Em was desperate. But she seemed capable of human emotion. I swear, KMH is incapable of being sympathetic. Anytime I've had an sliver of compassion for the character, KMH starts her incessant "hhhmmmmnnnniiiiinnnngggg.... and wiping her runny nose with her hands, and I get totally turned off.
