Oh, I guess I can give the devil some due....Luke's almost pleasant to watch today, after his boyfriend attacks Zoe before she can give Luke a blowjob. Who knew Luke could actually admit he might be wrong??

Even Parker was in a good mood...of course, getting a car will do that for a teenage boy. I even loved the gobsmacked look ol'Craigy got on his face when Jack called him on giving that money to Parker to work on Carly.

Of course, TIIC had to then have Carly reverse her field and nearly beg Craig to be her partner....*sigh* :rolleyes:

But on the whole, an encouraging, almost hopeful day in Oakdale.

i gotta disagree. i hated the whole show.

luke's hospital bed scenes were PUTRID, especially since jake s. is worse in every episode he appears in. he plays everything the same way. and his and luke's "love" is syrupy, sickeningly sweet -- and not real at all.

parker was in a good mood? i hate the kid no matter WHAT mood he's in. i want him to wreck that car before the end of the week, and if he dies, he dies. horrible storyline, horrible actor. and carly was incredibly annoying in her "motherly" talk with parker about the new car.

margo is the cop from hell. she doesn't do anything that makes any sense, but she's a big pain in the ass.

i think 8th graders wrote the entire episode.

Either I'm sinking to a new low in taste or ATWT is getting watchable. I really liked the whole ending of the Grimaldi capers. I think what I liked most is the realistic through line of Damien/Luke's relationship. Damien really won me over the same way he did Luke and Lily. And gosh - I never thought I'd say it, but Noelle Beck is really good as Lily. She's still not Lily, but she doesn't make me want to vomit anymore. I hope they bring more Grimaldi maddness to the show - hello Orlena!!!!

Well, I do have a touch of a cold....:lol:

I just thought that by the end (and honestly, I couldn't tell you a word of whatever Nuke said in the hospital) there was a feeling of family that has been sadly lacking on the show. The entire hour wasn't filled with everyone screaming at each other. They talked. Luke actually talked to Damian, and made a very good point---he doesn't know Damian.

I'm not digging Lily so much, but that moment when Damian kissed her hand----that was nearly romantic.

And I FLOVED the Carly/Parker talk. Sure---he was still a little too smug. But he explained his p.o.v---and I think it was typical teen thinking---for Parker, Craig forking over that money was an apology. Even though if you go back to Friday's episode, it clearly wasn't. Craig was telling Parker money wouldn't solve his problems, and gave him the money to prove it.

It shows how people hear what they want to hear. Craig doesn't get how giving Parker some adult validation (mostly to piss off Jack) has added to Parker's problems.

LOL...Parker's five minutes of happiness flew out the door on hearing the news Carly was in trouble again and Janet showing up with her wishy-washy "let's be friends" brat.

Seriously...Janet can't let her seventeen year old daughter be alone at the farm overnight?? UGH...and the more TIIC push Janet as the Saint, the more she annoys the living HELL out of me.

Add Craig to that list with his practiced snark at the OPD. I guess I'm supposed to sympathize with his "I'm being persecuted" mantra. It would be easier to do if he wasn't walking around Oakdale free, and everyone didn't know Katie was lying about his last alibi.

The only reason I'm annoyed with Dusty's 'tude is because it's ultimately causing Carly grief. I wish him luck in riding Craig's ass all the way to Statesville prison.

      I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.

      It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.

      The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl.

      Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well.

      I’m sensing you’re not really a John Black fan from your posts. This has been some of the best soap Days has done in many years but you seem completely opposed to it lol.

      The John Black character has been a part of my life for decades. I like heroes being honored, however imperfect they may be.  I'm glad they are giving him a long farewell and tribute.

      Annie Dutton was anything, but sane when she was introduced.  She was very tortured and looked like she was on the verge of tears when she was first introduced.   While people, and writers, made it seem as though Annie lost her mind because of Josh.. I truly think that Annie had a lot of untreated mental issues that didn't manifest until her marriage to Josh. Sonni was also anything, but strong when she was first introduced either.   Claire in 1983 was a complete 180 from the Claire that we got in 1986... and I do agree that her character was degraded.

      I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.

      She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
