I could go for more of Jack and Janet, but what I am most looking forward to this week are Casey/Margo/Emily and seeing what happens with Nuke. I'd like to see less of Brad/Katie this week. It seems like those two are on every day.

I actually set the DVR today, because I didn't want to miss the whole Jack and Janet stuff. TOTALLY fun.

Now, they've added in Margo to Casey and Emily and I think I might actually care more, because of this history between the characters now. Still doesn't stop them kind of feeling icky to me.

I've been away for a bit too long. I'm taking it in small doses. I still hate most of the characters, but I'm choosing to focus on the stories and characters I like. I'm kinda over the negativity.

Carly and her worries about Interpol coming after her if she hooks up with Neil. Too funny. Poor Holden. Jealous as hell can't do anything about it. Neil is quite charming or maybe it is the accent.

Jack and Janet are good together. I like that she is sexually confident. Jack needs to relax and have some fun.

:lol: Wouldn't that be just about her luck too. I can't get over what a jackass Holden is being. Just tell Lily that it's over already!!

I hate to say it, but I am enjoying this show so much more without Gwen. Jen Landon is great, but they overexposed her to the point that just seeing her face made me want to FF.

Today I felt that Carly decided to fight for Holden even though she would deny it to her last breath. She went over to see Holden out of anger, frustration and jealousy. Agreeing to see Neil in front of Holden was done to force his hand so that he would finally make a decision about their relationship. Holden needs to man up and tell Lily that he just isn't that into her any more. The sooner he does this, the sooner they both can move on with their lives.

Juliajms, I never liked Gwen so I agree.

Hi all, I'm new.

Anyhow, I don't understand why Carly and Holden are attracted to each other. Holden, who, in my opinion, lacks any sort of personality, is sleeping with Carly why? I know it's not that Lily is isgnoring him, because she is just dying to get in his pants. I suppose it could be that Holden can't trust Lily (which is, I think, the angle that the writers are trying to play), but then why move on with Carly? He knows all about her past exploits. In my opinion, Holden as a character has just been ignored for so long that decay has begun to set in. I just can't get a feel for who he is.

Then we have Carly, whose spontaneous attraction to Holden I just can't get behind. I think that the real problem here is still Holden. I don't understand who Holden is supposed to be, so I can't see what Carly sees in him.

I like Janet a lot more now that she's started to shed her Italian stereotype. I think it's really entertaining how she just mellows out our high-strung Jack. The new, less abrasive Janet definitely has staying power, IMO.

And, I have to admit, I am starting to soften to Parker and Liberty. When she came on, Liberty was too much too fast. Now, she's taken a back seat, and I like it. I think the actress does a really great job. I was really glad to see today that it looks like they're going to get Carly involved. She needs to do more then just share long, awkward glances with Holden.

As far as Luke and Noah go, I'm just too jaded to give them a shot at this point. I was so ready to scoff at today's army story (Did they seriously just tell a whole story in one day?), but I guess they kind of covered all of their bases. All of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" stuff was very preachy, but I buy that Luke would say it. He's always been out and proud. I especially liked the one black officers conversation with Noah. It was nice to see that, if the writers insist on telling this bizarre, one-day after-school-special mini-story, they'll at least give both sides of the argument.

Overall, I'll say it was an okay day. For the show to really make me happy, Carly and Holden needs to end yesterday, and Noah needs to be shipped off. Oh, and I want Martha back. No offense to Noelle, but she's not my Lily.

Well damn, I am lovin Jack and Janet. They are fun and really make me laugh. Love how Jack is so nervous and how Janet is so forward. I just love it. I must say though that I loved the preview for tomorrow about Jack saying to Holden how could you set up Carly with that guy? I love jealous Jack too. Can't wait to see his reaction to Holden and Carly. Now that will be must see tv. I really like Luke too. He is just so damn cute in a puppy dog kinda way. Hope they are done with the Noah and the army thing and concentrate on them being an acutal couple now. As far as Carly and Holden are concerned, it is getting kinda interesting. Holden doesn't realize that he is in this way too deep....can't wait for the fallout.

      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

      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
