I think (well, sincerely hope) there are more aftershocks coming.

But I totally think they copped out by not picking up the action exactly where they left off on Thursday's episode. If they wanted to convince me Holden gave a crap about what his actions have done, they would have shown me him gasping in horror realizing Lily deliberately aimed her car at Carly, as he stared at Lily unconscious in her smashed up car. (Not to mention, Lily aiming her car at Carly would have made a lot more sense had I realized Lily was seeing Carly coming from her house, after asking Holden if they'd ever done it under Lily's roof...which didn't make sense to me either, but whatever. I assumed Carly was somewhere near Java yesterday.)

Muttering and mumbling excuses to Lily and Luke didn't convince me of anything.

LOL.....thats what Holden was doing. Muttering and mumbling...it was real pathetic. I was confused to where Lily tried to run down Carly. I thought it was at Java? Didnt Lily say she was coming out of her house?? I am confused...LOL.

Lily said she was getting home and I think she said she turned into the retaining wall. I totally expected today's show to start where it left off yesterday and actually replay the start of that scene with Carly in the headlights. Big missed opportunity that they didn't show that. My biggest complaint about this story was that the fallout wouldn't be worth it because JP just doesn't do fallout well and sadly so far it has lived down to my expectations with the biggest disappointment being Holden. I did love the CarJack scenes today since they can make more of it than is on the script.

I sure hope Liberty and Parker don't go there with sex and the last thing I want is a teen pregnancy with them. Mick is only 15 and just too young for that kind of story.

Sorry but I can't stand the character of Janet and really disliked her today. I'm okay with Julie but not Janet.

Oh ok thanks. Yeah, the Carjack scenes were the best. Maura was great at the end.

I am not liking Liberty with Parker at all.

Janet was ok today. Although I didnt like her scenes with Liberty.

Me too. I like the characters but hate the story. Mala from SOW wrote a good opinion on this in this week's mag about it going way too fast and that it's like watching kiddie porn. I don't think this is what the majority of viewers want. And knowing that Mick just turned 15 makes it even more uncomfortable for me.

First off, that wreck just didn't make sense. :rolleyes: AT ALL. I was surprised at how quickly Lily turned all "Julia#1-ish" when she saw Carly in mowing-down distance. <_<

Noelle Beck is an okay actress but Friday's scenes just made me cringe. Her inability to play such a layered character like Lily really showed for me. That woman was straining so hard you could see the veins bulging from her neck!!!! She needs to quit trying so hard. It's not working. :(

I know I'm gonna sound so "fangurl"-eque, but I just can't help thinking I might buy a little bit of Lily's distress/feelings/motivation if Martha were still in the role. But alas.....she's not. *sigh*

I did like, however, that they called Holden out on his hypocritical ways (RE: Dusty) and I loved how Carly gave Jack an earful about his high horse. Maybe now he'll un-mount from it. (Here's to hoping...)

:lol: Slow-mo'ing Maura's screams to "Get out" was comical. The expressions were less than flattering for her, but quite comical...(and bone-chilling when watched in full speed...LOL)

    • Which is still a form of manipulation. Granted it won't work because Ted isn't interested in Leslie at all no matter how much she tries to make him look like a horrible person. When you consider the situation with Hayley it does make sense why Anita would take that approach.
    • Another good one and great episode to start off the week. Confrontations, character moments, movement, and an awful lot of bubbles on display. lol.    I've found myself liking Sara Bibel breakdowns. And this episode might be why. I sense movement of plot going on. And Jazmen being on script duty has already become a highlight for me. So this episode dealing with more fallout from the SilkPress/Eva reveal was another good one. And even got a solid B plot moving in the Vanessa/Doug/Joey storyline...which I just said yesterday...has been the only one of the B plots...that has real build to it so far.    You are not a real soap pariah until you get dragged and a community treats you as such. So basically another old school soap vibe that Eva is giving me. Watching her trying to find her footing only to be read by just about everyone she has encountered has been great. It makes her so rootable. And she's played by an excellent actress. Cuz that quivering lip at the end with her and Anita...ooooo some of you all seem heated for Anita making poor girl cry even though it's her fault. That's great acting. Not to mention writing.    I also love that the side character got their point of view. I loved Mona moving about town trying to get info to avenge Nicole in a way. And she dragged Eva. She read Silk Press Sheila. And that 'enjoy the burn' was well-said. And did I see a spark with Mona and Randy? Hmmm. I don't mind.

          I also didn't mind that Martin/Kat scene. I enjoy their sibling relationship so far. And I feel like the right thing to do to keep them close as they support their mother. It even made sense that Martin would soften to the idea of Eva as part of the family given their brief scene at the start of this storyline. Meanwhile, NO from Kat. lol. And she's already questioning the DNA test...OF COURSE SHE IS. But again...that avail...her and Eva being the SAME age. Twins. I just felt the writers are really foreshadowing that heavy. Meanwhile, the SilkPress saga is far from over.   I love the parade of Ted Visitors. LMAO!!! I thought Dani vs Ted was pretty good. But I about fell out when Anita walked up in there like old school Sonny Corinthos. And I hollered with Anita wiping the floor with Ted with Dani in the background like Jason Morgan. Watch your step, Theodore. Anita was giving Boss Bitca and I was living.    That said...I didn't like Anita making poor Eva cry. But as was said above...the stuff with Hayley is still too fresh on the Duprees' mind. So sadly understandable, Anita set down the law.    Uh oh. Dani saw Vanessa with Joey. Granted they are not the BFFs, but I do hope that that means we are getting a Dani/Vanessa scene. And I loved that we got another step in the B storyline. Doug fighting (and failing) in his addiction. Meanwhile, Vanessa resisted hers. And Joey did not look happy.    And saying the best for last. I LOVE Nicole vs Silk Press Sheila. Ooooo Nicole got under her skin good. And I loved it. I also hollered at Silk Press couldn't even be fake nice for 5 whole minutes to her. DD did soooooooo good. The body language. The looks. The inflections on just the right words. I LOOOVVVE that confrontation and looking forward to more since she clearly verbally cracked SilkPress's face. Meanwhile, I was just as taken aback at Ted showing up at Silk Press Sheila's place. I also thought it was another fantasy. Nope. And then SilkPress put the moves on him and went just a little more cray cray in the coda.    Just such a great episode.

    • Nope still in development. ABC/Disney are having their upfronts today though, so there's a very slight hope we might get an update.
    • Has anyone ever posted January and February 1974? I can't find them in the 'Look Back to 75' thread. Thanks.
    • Did January and February 1974 DSN ever get posted? I can't seem to find it in this thread.
    • 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.

    • 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.
