I can see Brad giving Parker the high five for boinking the girl. :lol: This is so not Brad. This is Pod/Psycho Brad.

Jack just said she was a good person to be around. I got that to mean fun to be with. Jack gets how clueless and dumbwitted Janet is and he wants to just be around that right now. It's a distraction from Carly and Holden. Which he hasnt fully come to terms with. He hasnt even confronted Holden for that matter.

Not only would he have been high-fivin' Parker, he would have checked the girl out himself.

Janet is one of the only characters I have ever been tempted to label a dumb lay. It's nothing against Julie Pinson, who I think is beautiful and a good actress. Janet is one of the most naive sluts I've ever seen on a show. And she's written that way, IMO. Even her wardrobe screams "bought off the show off the rack rack".

I will say, Jack probably just predicted how their affair will end. They'll just drift apart when Jack starts dealing with whatever the next crisis with Carly and the kids is.

Well, as much as I hate Brad, I wouldn't say he's exactly a hypocrite in this situation or if he is I think it's very understandable that he's had a change of heart. Does any guy want their daughter treated the way they have treated girls when they were young? I'm going to go with a big NO, for about 95% of men on that. Having a daughter seems to radically change men's perspective and I think that makes total sense. Maybe more so for a man who has been their since their daughter was born, but I think in any situation, he's not going to be high fiving anyone about banging his little girl.

I think Henry and Vienna have run their course. I want to see Henry with someone else now and V can go back to Europe.

Brad's hypocrite-ness is about more than Parker and Liberty. He's tried to cut Janet out of Liberty's life, he's told Jack and Janet how to live their lives, he's lectured Parker on Snyder Family Values when Brad has barely shown any himself over the last year and a half. I'm only surprised he hasn't come out to the farm and lectured Holden and Carly about their little no-no. All this time Brad's gotten in Jack's face for being the uptight, upright, stick in the mud Snyder. All it took for Brad to morph into the role was three months of playing daddy.

I'm on the end Henry/V train too. Apparently, it's okay in Vienna's world to do bad things, as long as you don't lie to anyone about them? (I guess that covers her screwing Gray...) Whatthefuckever.

I like Henry and Vienna...they're both characters with a lot of potential that ATWT has failed to explore by placing them in one comedy caper after another...the comic relief characters work best in serious stories, giving a light edge to darker subject matter. They may not ever be frontburner, but have them in stories outwith of each other, have Vienna strike up a friendship with Janet and a rivalry with Katie, re-explore the Mike/Henry friendship (Mark Collier PLEASE come home)...

Two PERFECT "Come to Jesus" moments today....Parker nailing Jack on his messed up life, and Jack laying into Janet about treating Liberty as a girlfriend more than as her daughter. (Yes, my inner Carjack fanbitch was jumping up and down at Jack/Janet strife....:D I'll take what happy moments I can get.)

On the downside...am I really supposed to sympathize with Liberty because she cries over not "being a little girl" anymore? Like ten minutes after she was warming up to go at it with Parker again?

I was thisclose to cheering Lily....but honestly, she already knew "somehow" that Carly and Holden did it at camp. Yeah...I get that the thought Faith might have seen something was nasty. But this is the woman who walked out of Thanksgiving dinner to go and do Dusty. What her kids "knew" has rarely bothered her before.

I really don't like how stuff is "handled" off-screen. Today, I wasn't sure if Jack had told Carly everything about Parker and Lib. Luckily(?), tomorrow's previews cleared it up for me.

I'm tired of the Henry/V saga...and I can't help thinking that TIIC screwed up a pairing that could have been something really BIG.

I also enjoyed their fight. But Janet isnt as dumb as we thought. :lol: Calling out Jack on things either being only white or black for the Snyder men. :lol: So true.

I was cheering Lily on. I loved it! :lol: Holden deserved everything he got. I was lol when Lily left him at the camp. :lol: Holden was real pathetic today trying to be the good guy in all of this mess.

Their scenes today were good but do I really care what they were fighting about? No!

I still think Janet's as dumb as a box of rocks.

It's hard for me to be in Lily's corner. I've spent years moaning about her whining, self-absorbed inner Princess. Yeah, Holden deserves it. And I'm so sick of seeing him lie to both these women. This story just lost me, and watching Lily unspool and then get in Carly's face like she's the problem is repetitive and boring.

:lol: I agree. I feel the same way about Austin Peck's Brad. :lol:

It is so out of character for Lily to leave Holden like that. I couldnt see Martha's version of Lily doing such a thing that's why I loved it so much. I've got to say NB may not be Lily but her acting has been much better than Hensley's. I also was lol when Carly got stuck with Holden...lol. Carly should have left them at the camp with winki....lol.

:lol:

Today's show was ok. I wish Carly would have slapped the hell out of Parker. He needs a smackdown.

I am still loving bitchy Lily. But Holden finally got her to calm down. It's interesting how Holden was saying to do it for the kids. I remember not too long ago he was treating the kids like crap too and keeping them away from Lily.

Gosh....how bad has Van Hansis acting got? The serious scenes he does are good. But the funny/scenes with Noah have become so bad. Too much of Jake Silbermann's bad acting is rubbing off on him. I hate they way he acts his scenes opposite Silbermann. His scenes opposite Karl Girolamo were so much better.

I loved seeing Emma again.

Ugh....I can't stand the Holden/Lily stuff. Every time Holden gives his heavily edited version of events, I feel like he's lying his ass off. Lily continues to unspool, and while it's less annoying to watch with NB in the role (sorry, Dusty...:)) it's still Lily avoiding some basic truths about her marriage, and pulling her kids further into this mess. I was glad Holden finally threw her affair with Dusty in her face. Yeah, Holden had filed for divorce when they actually slept together. But Lily was clearly involved with Dusty emotionally long before that.

Stupid line of the day...Lily to Carly...."you can't just have sex with Holden, and then pretend everything's okay." YEAH...uh, isn't that EXACTLY what you did Lil?

*heartfelt sigh* Loved me some Carjack today. LOVED that Carly got to blow up at him for keeping the facts from her, and having some "discussion" with Janet and not her. LOVED that Jack encouraged her to go take some time for herself and let things settle. And LOVED that he told her this situation wasn't all her fault. NOW, if he'd only get to say that to Holden...someday in the foreseeable future.

Brad/Janet/Lib....kind of ridiculous.

    • To me, that made no difference. The point stands whether Eva wants to be a Dupree or not. Anita was 110% on top of things. Also it's a logical inference that Eva might be interested in having a place in her supposedly real family. Frankly though I wonder if Eva knows how to feel ... yet. She could really be confused.
    • Does Jack ever dress in drag during that early '00s period where he was trying to get Jennifer back...or does he just fake being gay around then?

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
