At least it was fun snark, built on and acknowledging history (even the fact that Meg is clueless about Em's brief foray into hookerdom...) unlike the stilted Carly/Craig crapfest, where she's just forgiven him for putting her sister in a coma. Y'know...'cause he "deserves" a second twentieth thousandth chance to raise his kid or ruin Carly's life, whichever comes first.

I'd be fine with Meg/Dusty. What needs to die is the Paul/Meg relationship from hell.

I wouldn't exactly call it "pure trash"...it was definitely more interesting than yesterday, dominated by whiny twenty-somethings. AKA "bad actor fest".

I am fine with Meg and Dusty too but you know Peg is the endgame. Although with you know who returning things could change. But I doubt it...LOL

Well...pure trash seems to sum up ATWT for me lately. All the backtracking with Lucy not being charged with kidnapping just got my blood boiling.

A big ol' friggin' SNAP to the new cracks developing in Jack and Janet's relationship. I'm sick of that silly twit defending her daughter and blaming Parker for "pushing" her into sex. Janet is clearly projecting her Brad-issues on Parker, and I'm glad Jack called her on foisting the blame on his son. As if Janet's ever punished her daughter?

The Carly/Craig sex scene was blissfully non-existant.

ICK to Brad/Katie/V/Henry. Tell me...where does ANYONE find a "happy mother's day balloon" in March???

Because they formed a fanbase so quickly after Meg and Dusty split and she set her eyes on Paul. They had potential. Had, being the key word. But the relentless pimping and character destruction has left the "Peg" pairing of old in pieces. And as always, with PissAnt and Goutman, if something's broke at ATWT, don't fix it. Just pretend it's not broken and feature it even more...maybe the viewers won't notice!!

I don't have a friggin' clue what TIIC see in Meg/Paul that justifies this ENDLESS circle of hell. MWil/RH had a nice chemistry, but TIIC have milked it dry. TIIC don't understand that they wouldn't have to keep Paul this bat-[!@#$%^&*] crazy if he moved on to a new woman.

Oy vey...I couldn't be more underwhelmed by the wrap up to the murder if I tried. Today, for no reason, it's Noah's turn to suspect everyone, and Luke who gets to be reasonable and suddenly "trust" Kevin. WTH??? Any other day Luke acts like Kev deserves the electric chair for farting crossways...and today it's "blah blah Kev didn't really know how Mark was managing his campaign." REALLY??? Luke was on a friggin' crusade to tar and feather Kev before.

UGH...just lame-ass stupid. At least we're rid of Elwood. FOREVER.

:lol: Sorry for the laughter PJ but your post is so right on. Today's show was just awful. Nuke...oh dear gawd...end them now and ship them far away and give me more Bob, Kim and Lisa instead. They need to be axed. The murder storyline was so bad...that it is not even funny. What a waste of time. No real writing was put forth in it. Anyone at SON could have written that atricious story. My Gawd was it awful!! The script writing by Gordon Rayfield was awful too. I would have rather seen Kevin f u c k Luke and Noah catch them.

I piss and moan because I love the show. What's so freakin' frustrating is that a daily show can be good. It's the long-term story arcs that are unimaginative, hampering the momentum of the show. Days like today, centered on a bunch of damn boring twentysomethings in a simplistic no-one-gives-a-crap-about-those-who-died plot would kill anyone's enthusiasm for any show.

There are positives. The actors mostly. Even those boring twentysomethings can shine---when involved in story with veteran actors. I like the feel of the outdoor scenes, which are head and shoulders above either GL's or B&B's IMO.

I was thinking...I LIKE Kev more than I like either Luke or Noah (and I honestly liked Noah with originalMaddie). Nuke are boring, earnest and self-righteous to the nth degree. Kev is a guy who made ONE bad decision (after being blindsided by the news of Luke's sexuality) and seems genuinely trying to do "the right thing" when it counts.

Seriously, aside from Paul and Emily (and I freely admit my bias in that regard lol), today's show was made of fail.

I did LMAO at Emily saying Paul was so positive, and asking if he was taking his meds, and then later Paul handing Emily his shrink's emergency contact number.

NuLucy seems even younger than Peyton to me.

You mean a flawed character, who struggles with his own defense mechanisms, does the wrong things for the right reasons, and actually acts like a human being instead of a walking PSA?

Yeah - who wants to watch THAT kind of character...?!

:rolleyes:

    • @Toups Tyler Topits listed in alpha order with the breakdown writers 5/12 Monday episode. O'Connor still listed as both breakdown and script writer. Kreizman wrote today's script.
    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
