That's a cute little banner, Ron!!

Can't really discuss the show...missed the middle of it thanks to bad weather. I was disheartened to see Jack back to being a doofus, running out on Parker to check on Janet at the end. It's like...c'mon, dude. Janet's an adult. Parker is a child prone to taking off...do the math.

The show was so so. Oakdale residents collapsing because of the drug they have in their system. Margo found out Casey married Emiloon. Boy was the reveal of the fast. Before you knew it Casey was babbling all to Margo. It's always nice to see the vets...Bob, Susan ang Margo.

So it looks like Meg is

I missed today's as well....but I read what happened online. Sounded okay but I was surprised how fast the reveal was about the wedding myself. And I see that Aaron is still being a jackass as well. No Carly today only Jack and Janet so I don't think I really missed too much. Check it out tomorrow.

So over the weekend, I decided to catch up on ATWT because I heard of the crazy poisoning storyline (I started with the July 17th episode and I'm only at the July 30 episode now)..........and I have to say, ATWT has been REALLY good. I am loving every storyline (except for Henry/Vienna)! What I noticed is there's a lot of family drama and conflict and they're showing POV's from everyone's angle. The fallout of the affair and Liberty/Parker having sex has been riveting to watch.

I'm up to 7 soaps now (well soon to be 6...PSNS :().

You picked a good time to start watching. Just in the last couple of weeks something has really started to change. I was on the verge of giving up and am glad I didn't. It's sure not perfect but a lot of it has gotten so much better and I think there is some good stuff ahead to look forward too.

I'm loving the poisoning story. That should only get better as the week plays out. While I hate that Liberty and Parker had sex I am enjoying the way things are playing out with the reactions of the parents and it's been much better than expected. I don't want to like Casey/Emily but the story is so entertaining I can't help myself. :lol:

Loved the new bumper today!

I love soaps, what can I say? If it's good, I'll watch! :)

I'm glad I started watching too. Maybe I'm liking the show because it's "fresh" to me and I haven't been watching all the crap that's been happening for years.

I'm a sucker for these kind of stories. :D

Same here.

I'm not sure about Casey/Emily yet, but I love the reactions that it's causing. That lunch scene with Casey/Emily/Tom/Margo was hilarious!

On the shallow side...I like that the bumpers were finally updated. I hate that they're so. damned. dark. But I love the new Carjack pics, and CZP is drop-dead gorgeous. On a shallower note....I'm diggin' Roger's goatee. I don't know why...I just do.

Today...I find myself liking the creep-factor in Sophie's haunting Meg.

Oy...the Parker/Lib stuff gets old fast. And I think I resent Janet being so over the top, constantly yelling, and then acting hurt when she accuses everyone of not thinking she deserves to be in Lib's life. It's so off-putting, I couldn't even enjoy her yelling at Katie. And Lord knows I thought I'd get to enjoy that.

Too bad Sofie cant kill two stones with one feather. Have Meg kill Paul. And Meg go to the loony Ben. It would end the pairing forever. :lol:

There is just way too much Liberty on. Can Goutman show more of the cast? Its overkill with Liberty.

As for Parker....geesh...I am hating this kid more everyday. What a brat!! Liberty had more sense than him today. And I thought Liberty was all fun and games like Mommie Dearest. I laughed when Jack laid the law on Parker...you are going to be so grounded....yeah right...Parker comes and goes as he pleases...there is no authority in that house. Parker really needs a good kickin.

^^^ugh...don't get me started on Liberty's completely bogus metamorphosis from surly teenager to level headed after one fishing trip. I'm annoyed with Parker, who seems completely ready to ditch both of his loving, if flawed, parents.

But I seriously wanted to throttle Liberty for suddenly pulling out the "I'm older...you're still a kid" argument. Where was this attitude when she grabbed her bag o' condoms and followed Parker up to his room? This "romance" has gone way too fast, but now she's breaking Parker's heart, and coming off like a *****tease.

I think Liberty had more fun then she will admit with dear old dad Brad. Thats why she didnt want to run away with Parker. I think what Liberty really needs is fatherly love from Brad. Instead of I am Tarzan...you are my daughter crap.lol She is coming off as tramp tease...lol.

Parker has no clue about relationships. He has never been in one. He was a virgin until Liberty walked in. I wish he would let up on his anger. The writers are doing a good job of me hating Parker.

And where was Carly? She should have been on today's show. Was she humping Holden again? <_<

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Khan · Posted

      In a way, Denise's inability to decide on which college to attend (before deciding to attend her family's alma mater and the college everyone knew she'd be attending anyway) was a clear signal that the poor girl was a flake and not "college material."  Denise Huxtable was someone who peaked in high school, lol. With guest stars Deborah Adair (ex-Jill, Y&R; ex-Tracy, DYNASTY; ex-Lucy, MP; ex-Kate, DAYS), Christopher Allport (ex-Tim McGowan, AW) and John de Lancie (ex-Eugene, DAYS)! "Frame" is one of those MSW's that you THINK is gonna be paint-by-numbers (no pun intended), and then it surprises you with one of those twist endings that often made episodes so enjoyable. I seriously wish they had gone for a Steven/Bart/Sammy Jo triangle instead, with Steven and Sammy Jo fighting over Bart, lol. And I still think Claudia burning to death at La Mirage was DYNASTY's dumbest cliffhanger. The perfect time to kill off Chase, IMO.  Alas.

      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.

      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.
