I'm a Nuke fan but I don't want the boys to get married... not right now anyway. Why can't they just date? Good DOG.

And, yeah. I think it looked like they were joking around too.

Could Katie be any more obnoxious? She controls what Vienna eats, thinks and where she sleeps. She's now planning Vienna's meds during childbirth. What's next? How often Vienna poops? UGH...

I think Henry's snapped. :o However, I flove he's going to ruin Katie's perfect life. And I floved the talk with Bob.

Holden/Lily/boys/Damian. SNOOZE. Seriously...they brought Damian back for this??

I just realized...EVERY story on the show has people fighting over kids. Jack/Carly/Craig fight over Parker. Paul/Meg for Eliza. Dusty/Craig over Johnny. Dusty fights with Paul over Eliza. Damian/Holden over Luke. And now the Bratie/H&V stuff over this pregnancy. It's redonkulous.

Jean loves baby stories no matter the age of the child. Her name should be called Jean Baby Passanante....LOL Today's show was ok since Katie's world is going to come crashing on her. I love it!

Luke being all paranoid again was just UGH! Van's acting continues to get on my nerves.

LOL....Whatever Happened to Baby Jean???

Sometimes I wonder how Pissy's restrained herself from knocking Liberty up. Or Carly. But then I just drop to my knees and pray to God the idea never enters her mind.

Jean had one great storyline: the baby switch. So she did what she had to with success...she kept repeating baby stories over and over and over. Unfortunately, she forgot the original baby story had all the things her repeats don't: an umbrella storyline which brought all the cast into the story, and was not wrapped up in three weeks.

LOL...I don't know who's heartache caused me greater joy---Katie's or Meg's.

Meg's just plain stupid, trying to gaslight Paul. But I enjoyed seeing her knocked off her high horse, especially after that crap she pulled marrying Craig. (The one, and the only Craig I'll ever love.)

Watching Katie's world crumble was sublime. Was it what I wanted? Heck no...my scenario would have involved dancing Munchkins, a chorus comprised of Oakdalian women who'd accidently gotten knocked up (headed naturally by Lily and Carly) singing "Yes Sir, That's MY Baby!" and been broadcast live on "Oakdale NOW!" as the entire city watched and snickered in delight.

But watching Katie pull out her trademarked "crumple face" as Henry and V dug themselves in deeper and deeper, and watch that TWIT self-righteously blather on about how she's grown "so attached" to that baby even after Vienna still offered to let her "best friend" Katie raise her child put a smile on my face.

OTOH, today is a perfect example of why the "two story per day" system doesn't work. We wuz robbed of the buildup of watching Katie absorb the news, and then confront Henry and V. One minute, Katie and Brad are slack-jawed at the hospital...after the commercial break, they are at home with one tear shed before Henry and V arrive. It's criminal, I tell you....criminal.

ITA!!! If dumbness was a disease Nurse Joy would be dead, while on the other hand, if Henry doesn't kick Katie to the curb THIS TIME he's going to be classified as being as dumb as Meg Nurse Joy.

I remember the four stories per day leading to one cliffhanger after another with the last one being the biggest. How I miss those days. This one from Dallas only had a 3 cliffhanger moment...but you get my drift. One cliffhanger after another leading to the last one. Why soaps don't do that anymore is beyond me.

Actually this one is a better example...the last had missing the Sue Ellen vs Mandy Winger face off This one has Angelica Nero being arrested...Jack's car exploding with Jamie in it.....Sue Ellen being blown to pieces and Bobby in the shower. Four different cliffhangers..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbTzs7_98so&hl=en&fs=1 type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344">

LOL...that was supposed to show the depth of her pain. I know some will disagree---but TC just massacred those scenes today. And not in a good way....I kept watching her drop out of character as Vienna explained her motivations. One minute she's all red and crying, the next moment, it's like she's listening for her cues and completely out of the scene. At least IMO.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see.
