The show went back to normal and the insane coupling.

I cant wait for

So that Emily and Casey can end. I just cant stand Casey anymore in this story. He needs a reality check.

I am also getting a bit tired of Lily's bitching. Not that she doesnt have reason to be that way. But Martha Byrnes Lily wouldnt act that way with Holden. She would have done anything to save her marriage to wimp bag Holden.

Today's writer was Peter Brash, PJ. I am glad at least we got to see Lily and Holden visit Aaron at the hospital. I thought they would just gloss over it.

Mike the bimbo...lol. Finally, some of Mike shirtless. It was about time!

I am sick of seeing Neal. It should be Jack having lunch with Carly. Just a friendly lunch and then Holden can get angry and jealous. CarHo has to end soon. I dont know how much more of Holden I can take in this story. Seriously, why did Carly go see Holden?...ugh...that was a dumb move on her part.

Oh, I don't think Em and Casey are ending. That bumper shot convinces me TIIC are happy with the pair.

I thrilled Lily is standing up to Holden. I wish Lily had been written as stronger than she was all along. It always seems a little odd to me that a daughter of Lucinda's would be so wussy. Yea, I know she's Iva's daughter, but Lucinda raised her. I kind of go huh? every time Lily acts as if Carly has some mystical hold over men, and all insecure about her looks. As if every man in town hasn't fallen at Lily's feet over the years.

I don't think Holden would get jealous and angry over Carjack having lunch. He should, but that's another think TIIC apparently aren't going to deal with...I'm still waiting for some kind of Jack/Holden blow up. Holden thinks enough has gone down between them to ever get back together. He thinks Carly's "moved on" since being hurt by Jack. Neal is a guy with a completely clean slate with Carly, therefore he is an immediate threat.

It was definitely a dumb move to go to his hotel room...but I think it came from a sense of lonliness and guilt. A guilt Holden never seems to have around her, I might add. The bastard.

Oh...by the way, did you catch the preview at astheworldturns.net? It'll do your Carjack heart good....:D

Hmm...thanks for the link PJ. It looked good. But I see comments about where Holden is at because they dont like Jack. :rolleyes: Holden and Carly are wrong for so many reasons. I will be cheering when Holden is left out in the cold for good.

Is your marriage failing? Do you want to make your current husband jealous? Are you just looking for a quick roll-in-the-hay before something more permanent comes along? Call Mike Kasnoff. The preferred rebound guy of Carly, Katie, and Lily. (I guess that at this point, Mike just takes what he can get).

I think that the only reason I can stomach Holden/Carly is because in my mind, it's not really happening. "No," I tell myself, "that's not Holden and Carly frenching on a hotel bed, they're Goutman's robots."

I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Jack actually reacts to his ex-wife/mother of his kids/"true love's" affair with his cousin!

Hahaha...love your post about Mike. So true. I just hope we see more shirtless Mike tomorrow.

I totally agree with the rest of your post. I do the same thing when concerning CarHo.

Hey to all the ATWT viewers who saw a quick recovery to all those affected last week. What a joke this story has been but whatever most of the cast was in it and I loved that part. That was about it when it came to that storyline.

Once again Chris is Super Chris who needs no back up to take down Decker. That was so stupid when the SWAT guys just stood there with their weapons and Super Chris with no weapon just beat Rick right up. But of course the world of ATWT is finally right now that Super Chris solved the day. Yuck!

How dare Holden and Carly once again ripe on Lily. Both Carly and Holden think that Lily should just get over it. How do you ever get over the fact you were fighting for your marriage, bending over backwards to have your husband want you again, only to have him lie to you and sleep with your best friend. On top of your best friend helping you win back your husband when she, your best friend is dreaming of being in your husband's bed.

And another thing, Holden has always talked down to Lily. Lily is never correct or right in his eyes. She is always wrong and I'm sick of that happening. I hope Lily and Mike go all the way. They both need some lovin plus neither have someone waiting for them at home like Holden did every night. How can ATWT sell this to its viewers. This is trash in progress.

Yeah...me too. I don't get the Holden praise either. He's cheated on Lily, and then compounded the problem by cheating on Carly with Lily. Women are not the "all you can eat buffet" at Ponderosa. I don't see how anyone could want Carly to settle for a man who can't decide what he wants. He's not in love with Carly. His attitude is "hey, we did the crime, let's at least enjoy doing the time." :eyeroll:

*snort* I think I just peed in my pants. I think Mike's very adept at nailing whatever stops moving. :D

I can't believe I'm saying this---but watching Lily and Holden fight was actually fun with a capital F. I floved the digs between the two. Holden nailing her on exposing the kids to Mike (after Faith clearly knew what was going on) and Lily hitting him between the eyes with her new stud...SOAPY GOODNESS. :P

Be still my beating heart...*swoon*.....watching Mikey and Maura work that Carjack magic is just good for my soul. OMG....even though I knew Carly hadn't stopped loving Jack, it was so good to see it written all over her face today. And that is the Jack I love...the one who knows exactly what to say to make Carly feel better. And the cherry on my sundae....

Suddenly, I'm all warm and gushy about my soap again....it feels good!!!

Even the Bonnie/Henry scenes were light and fun. Buh-bye Vienna.

Whoever this Gordon Rayfield is....he is love to me today!

Read PJ post below. :lol:;) She seemed to have liked today's show. The show was ok for me. It was nice to see JJ today. I usually cant stand the character. I am kind of liking him more than Parker these days. There wasnt much drama. The highlights were Lily and Holden sticking it to each other. That was good. I have enjoyed it. Carly and Jack coming together and being more civil to each other. And the Snyder drama of Emma losing her farm. The script was fine. Its too early to tell how good he will fit at ATWT.

Glad you liked the show PJ. I wrote my review on mike's question. Gordon Rayfield is a former script writer for OLTL and AMC. He took over the writing spot left by Richard Culliton.

    • 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
