Well, I did end up watching it before bed. Good episode. Balanced. There was a lot of paced conversation, which I usually enjoy. Love Craig and Margo's interaction, and it's always nice when they trot out the forgotten such as Sage. Now if only we see JJ this year, we'll have seen 90% of the faces we never see in Oakdale! Oh, aren't we spoiled?...

I actually thought it was one of the best episodes in a long time. We had vets interacting with each other...Lucinda & Emily, Lucinda & Holden/Lily, Lucinda & Damian. And of course it's obvious who Hunter is. The casting was good on that end. He is

I also floved Holden being pushed to side. Had he still been humping Carly....he could have cared less who Lily is seeing or much getting close to.

Are you serious??

No...the sad truth is if Holden had still been doin' Carly (ick, mind purge...:lol:), he'd still have stomped over to Damian, screaming about "his kid" Luke and defending Lily's "honor". (yeah...sorry, personally, I think Lily's a big ol' 'ho...but that's just me.) Holden would have forgotten Carly existed.

Emily screws old men or young boys. It's her thing.

Holler, indeed. ;) It's all he seems to do these days. :lol:

I liked today again! Crazy, right?! It's amazing when we get to see characters like Katie interacting with *gasp* her brother Craig. Oh, and I nearly pissed my pants when Craig looked at Brad and back at Katie and said "Should he be indoors?" LMFAO. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Amity, I have to agree. Funny how little things like seeing characters outside of their bubbles can help. Loved seeing Katie and Brad with Craig, and Carly talking about helping Craig expose Dusty. Several plotlines, no untalented newbies, and all adults. Even though nothing extraordinary happened, I didn't hit my FF once. Good job, ATWT.

Oh, I think a lot of my disappointment in the show could be solved by the bursting of storybubbles alone. Just by definition, it would bring more character interactions and give the stories more potential to ripple around town. Even the horrible Meg/Paul situation would be more tolerable if they didn't have only each other (plus Dusty) to scream at.

I liked today more than yesterday, no surprise. Well, it kind of surprised me, 'cause I normally abhor Katie and Craig, and even I had to give props to the sibling interaction. I suspect I enjoyed Brad's bemusement of getting to poke a stick at jail-bound Craig....jus' 'cause. :lol:

I think I decided to ignore the particulars of the plots, and focus on how it affects the dynamics of the group. I honestly can't make heads or tails of why or how Craig is really supposed to defend himself, or even what exactly the OPD has on him other than his obnoxious 'tude and sketchy admission to spring Carly. The murder is the mcguffin of the story, no one really cares about why, how or even who killed poor Caesar the dockworker. Lucy doesn't believe in her father, but can't put him away for something he didn't do. Dusty is selfishly taking advantage. Carly is wary but supportive, and Jack is our dogged investigator, not impartial but not willing to cross from duty to revenge either.

LOL of the day...(just because JL managed to say it with a straight face to Lucy)..."if I was guilty, I'd sit in here and not protest." Says the man who blackmailed his sister and framed his BIL to wiggle out of the charges for blowing up Paul? I know it wasn't supposed to be funny, but it was hysterical to me!

    • 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.
    • I am a little disappointed that the show will be writing Jenn as in the wrong for her not liking Cat, when she's actually in the right.  Maybe if Cat was played by a competent actress and had a purpose, I would be more behind this propping of the character. And I can't wait for the funeral for John Black to be over and then we can proceed and move on.  
    • I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.
    • Congratulations to Carlos Alcaraz on his second win at the French Open!

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it.
