Do NOT encourage the clutter, everything-except-about-the-episode(s) talk! :lol::P

Yeah, nothing but Shick/Shack/Phick talk.

I can't imagine there being a lot to talk about when Tuesday's episode especially is a huge bore! Yawn.

Do NOT encourage the clutter, anything-but-about-the-episode(s) talk! :lol::P

Cane you blame the people? It's Lane wedding, no wonder people are trying to come up with other stuff to talk about.

Or should we discuss about where dear Humphrey was?

And the virgin Lily, didn't she catch chlamydia from Kevin? But that was supposed to show us how evil he was, not how stupid she and others are for having reckless unprotected sex with multiple partners.

Hopefully this thread doesn't get so out of control, I'm only on page 19 of last weeks and wondering if it is worth it to keep reading.

I'm surprised he wasn't in the bouquet.

But they have so many things to work with and we get that crap? Seriously. From what I've read it's so coma inducing I'm thinking of grabbing a bottle while watching it.

Didn't Christine's mom and Malcolm's ex Kesha die from AIDS? And Stone and Robin on GH both got HIV. But now I don't see a soap writing a character to get an incurable STD.

We have four days for a wedding where the one shocking event happened at the end of the first day? I don't consider Devon not being related to those people that I don't even care about as news. Even Della Reese looks bored. Why would she crash Lily's wedding?

As much as Devon needs a storyline, this is just sooooo bad and uninteresting.

I don't understand what you mean Mark, you say Sharon and Nick are "endgame." But you think Nick and Phyllis should be left alone and stable for a long time? Does this mean forever, or you want to believe they'll end that hideous pairing one day?

I took his post to mean that Phick should have a couple of solid years before beginning the march towards Shickville. Naturally, I agree with him.

The story as well as the show is heating up so I would expect as much discussion about Phick/Shick as the Phillip or Mac/Raul stories.

What's the phrase of the moment, soapydoc?

BAM!

Sharon and Nick were moving in those cabin scenes, and of course the writers will eventually unite them as "soul mates". But for the next few years, let us see a fun, adult, sexy relationship with Nick and Phyllis...that's all. Move these two into other stories, but take the focus off the relationship proper.

Do NOT encourage the clutter, everything-except-about-the-episode(s) talk! :lol::P

How about -- people just post whatever the hell they want to post. And people can respond to them however they want. With one stipulation: NO PERSONAL BASHING.

There is an almost indistinguishable line here. But it has been crossed. Ruckston, you know I love ya but it's like you are targeting Alvin/YRWorldTurner in at least two posts. I don't know if something went down between you guys on another thread, don't need to know the details. But if people want to talk Phick and or Cane, they "should" be allowed.

And, Sylph, if it takes another 50 pages for people to get it all off their chests, so be it.

BTW. I like Cane. Shoot me already. Still hate Lily, though.

Needless to say, Cat, I have now fallen deeply in love with you! :wub:

It would be stupid to give Billy two children by two different mother's in the span of a year.

No. It would show he's as f*cked up as Sharon...which is why those two deserve a relationship whirl.

He's a very strong and brave man. I can't imagine going through a fraction of what he went through. I'm looking forward to seeing him on the show, having only become a viewer recently.

Yes. I'm very interested to see if he brings some of his personal backstory into a more layered...and maybe more secure...Phillip.

==

"Episode talk": Watching Phick live...and today's show is EXACTLY why they are so great. Their eyes never unlock (that's the Martha Byrne-John Hensley school of acting, people). Their conversation is so natural...they sound like real people. But in that crowded room, the heat they feel for each other stands out. Utterly compelling....

Yet another lazy, throw-the-winters-clan-out-to-the-woods introductory plot-line.

Della should've shown up for the adoption or pre-adoption storyline, obviously.

Is it that hard to write an interesting love story for Devon? Does he always need to have some huge family revelation or a medical storyline?

I'm sorry, I'm am NOT GETTING Phyllis's point of view in this whole mess. Why would a successful woman like Phyllis who has experience on both ends of relationships (as the scheming seductress and as the loving wife) WANT a man like Nick who constantly goes back his "soulmate" for sex and emotional attachment?

Phyllis tolerates Nick's crummy treatment of her. Nick wanders off and cheats on Phyllis, not once, but TWICE (thus far) and she throws a fit for maybe one day, but then she brushes it aside, and takes him back KNOWING fully that he still loves and has feelings for Sharon and will always go back to her for sex.

Phyllis is on the receiving end of an emotionally abusive relationship. Not to mention, Phyllis is the one being portrayed as the idiot in this whole triangle. She tolerates her husband infidelities and sweeps them under a rug REPEATEDLY. When will the point come where Phyllis says, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!"?

I'm sorry, I do not want to see this for a woman like Phyllis. She used to be so strong and independent, and outside of the initial Danny situation, the Phyllis that came back in 2000 didn't need a man to define who she was.
