^^^^teehee....check your pm's.

I wasn't really listening to the "explanation"...but basically Lucinda took the fall for not telling Holden and Lily about Luke's situation. NOW, how the hell his parents didn't miss him being in Oakdale for the last three days (weeks..whatever) when he still lives at HOME is beyond me.

Forgot to add....Kim rocks, even when TIIC make her an idiot like today. Okay...maybe it just made me smile that Kimmy wasn't so gosh-darned protective of Katie-did's feelings when it came down to her or the ratings.

I love watching the episodes online! Such a great luxury.

Anyways I'm loving Carly and her boys. I just wish they'd give her a real man who worships the ground she walks on again. Plus a career would be nice. She should be designing clothes or designing houses or something!

Noah and Luke were pretty good today. Love the intensity of their scenes. Not a diehard Nuke fan but I do appreciate what they are doing for gay couples on tv.

I don't like NuLily...and I don't dislike her. I'm just so apathetic. She doesn't grate my nerves at all. But she doesn't make me feel for her like Martha used to. Just seems like filler to me.

Love Lucinda and I'm loving Liberty today as well. Is it confirmed that she's Brad's daughter? That sorta makes her and Parker related right? Although Parker biologically isn't a Snyder so I guess its not a HUGE deal.

The only thing the show is doing right is getting the vets involved in their youngster's problems. It's been great seeing Susan, Kim and Bob on a semi-regular basis. Oh, and not ignoring the family dynamic. I can't remember the last time nearly every single family member was kept in the loop about what was going on.

I'm smelling an Adam-like rewrite of Chris' character.

So...Noah rates an invite to a family dinner...but no one mentions trying to invite AARON?

I don't necessarily like Casey/Em...but they're trashy enough to grab my attention. (Katie's usual jump-my-bones anyplace attitude seems to have inhabited Em's booty....)

Boo hiss...Katie's back tomorrow.

Loved today's show!

I know its cool to hate on Jake but I think he's doing a great job w/ the current storyline with Noah and Luke. And I'm loving the angst between the 2 characters. Loved Lily and Luke's convo in the kitchen. I wish my mother and I were like that....Holden and Noah were awesome too.

Again I'm surprised that there's not much outrage at the current relationship between Casey and Emily. As a huge fan of Maddie and Casey I am shocked they're doing this. Plus I can't stand Emily at all. Thank God she's no longer torturing Peg... :wub:

The guy playing Casey is hot but he doesn't convince me at all that he likes Emily. It just looks and feels creepy when I see 2 of them together in the same room!

Margo's look at the door after Emily left and she forced Casey back inside....? PRICELESS

Anyways great eppy.

Hello, everyone, new to the boards and I wanted to join in.

I really enjoyed today's episode. It felt like classic ATWT to me. Halfway through the show, I said to myself Susan Dansby must have written this episode.

Loving Bob, Kim, and Susan involved with the Chris/Ali storyline. I am happy that at least someone at ATWT is using the Stewart vs Hughes history with this storyline. I am only invested in this storyline because of the integration of Bob, Kim, Susan, and Tom in the story.

I do not like Emily and Casey together. I feel like I am watching a sleazy porn. Apparently while in prison, Casey forgot that Emily slept with his father, broke his parents up, had his dad's child, and slept with his uncle. But, everything is gravy because sex with Emily makes everything she did a-okay. <_< GMAFB!

Welcome to the boards Kevin. :)

Yeah, she usually writes the good episodes.

This is the only bright spot about ATWT right now. I would also say Carly and Jack. But Carly is being wasted with Holden.

I guess Casey has forgotten all that. Daniel should be a constant reminder. But as Emiloon said it is pure harmones racing with Casey. The only goo aabout this is Margo giving Emiloon a big slap for sleeping with her son.

Hi!

It's not that I don't find Emily/Casey sleazy and disturbing...on a lot of levels actually. I guess I see it as serving the greater good, and creating some good drama. As opposed to Holden/Carly, which is just contrived horse apples.

Ugh...y'know there are no words for the train wreck that is Colden/Horly. You've got to wonder what Goutman and Pissy were smoking the night that sucking vortex of story was created. I mean recycled from last year's CajackKack pissfest.

I agree, a total wreck. I think I could have been invested in Carly and Holden if they did not bring Lily back right away. The writers should have used the rest of the year to build Carly and Holden together and then have Lily return during May sweeps 2009. There was no need to bring Lily back right away and the writers could have continued to use that as a catalyst to build Carly and Holden together. Plus, it would have been nice for Jack to be on the other side of the fence and fight Holden for Carly.

^^^I agree...if they wanted any kind of Holden/Carly hookup, immediately recasting Lily was a bad move. Now Holden is a himbo.

I don't know what to say about today's Ali/Chris scenes...they were disturbing, to say the least. I don't get the writing...Ali had a case when Chris used his influence to get her kicked from patient care. Making it about the nursing courses sets up Ali to lose, and Chris to be vindicated even though he clearly did harrass her.

Janet making life hellish for Katie is almost fun.

When I said I wanted more family scenes, I didn't mean two adults stuck in a car listening to girls sing camp songs. And why on God's Green Earth are two adults acting like high schoolers? I was embarrassed for both Maura and Jon having such crappy writing.

Was I the only one who saw B&B's credits? Way weird....

      I agree. Especially after SilkPress got back to her apartment and started to mock Nicole. Her dislike for Nicole and seeing her as a threat to her getting Teddy Bear is growing worse. So I could see her pulling a kidnapping on Nicole at some point. If anything she was going there to poke the bear and got pressed (pun unintended) when the bear gathered her.   Completely understandable.

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By carolineg · Posted

      I swear this entire time I thought Roman knew about the Phillip/Vivian letter lol.  I do like how mature Roman/Kate are as a couple.  It makes me sad the new writers never got a chance to write for John/Marlena. I agree with @AbcNbc247 that the Felicity stuff is a bit after school special-y.  I am pretty sure that (most) of the viewing audience is aware that a grown man should not be shouting at any teenage girl especially one with disabilities.  Just let Xander apologize and move on. Linsey Godfrey was in her Sarah baby voice mode today and it irritates me to no end.   I know it's a cutesy thing her and Xander do but it's annoying. Bringing Kevin back is strange, but I do like the use of history.  I do think Rex probably could have been used instead, but whatever.  I don't care about Rex much either lol.

      I mean over the past decades. But I do agree that in recent years now, the writing is not working for them as well as it used to then. It's same old, same old...which is what made the Damian storyline refreshing. At least for me.

      DAYS/GH: RIP Denise Alexander

      By yrfan1983 · Posted

      Did Denise give any interviews where she talked about her first few years on GH... '73-75? I wonder if she had any regrets leaving Days for GH, as from what I've read, the show was in the dumps writing-wise, so am thinking she didn't have great story? Any Leslie story highlights I've seen always start with '76, after Gloria Monty took charge.

      I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!

      that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
