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 following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
