that's the weird part of this whole thing. There's no - "oh they're back together" goodness. Usually when supercouples get back together it's like the whole world has a parade, but there's no parade today and there ain't gonna be one any time soon for this couple or anyone else.

I know. It's really weird. I don't understand what the writers are going for with this story. It's not the triumphant reunion I would expect.

To me it is not the true "reunion" in the sense of the word. I am going to just quote Joshua on this one, sort of...Nick and Sharon have unfinished business. IMO, the writers have whitewashed most of Shick's history for a reason - noticed how they have never talked about any of their sordid or tragic history except for Cassie. One would think they never had problems except for that. Nick and Sharon are very IDEALISTIC and sometimes there is nothing wrong with that..but they have taken it to an extreme level. This idea of this perfect family that they never truly had back in the past.

So for me anyway I don't mind seeing them back together if only it would make them realize that they really did have serious problems in their marriage and they are doing the same thing now as they did when they were married - which is leave a trail of destruction behind. And gosh, what about Noah - it's like he doesn't even fit into this equation. They don't even think about him when it matters. I have no doubt that he is going to be really angry at his parents - the writing has been setting this all into place.

I think it's the reason you just said - they don't want to do the expected. This whole thing is messy, twisted and uber-dramatic.

By the way - forgot to mention but Gloria and Jeff being completely clueless sleuths is quite amusing.

ETA: Plus I think they're trying to be very evenhanded given the Phick/Shick fanbases. If either was completely shut out i think they'd lose viewers. Smart having Phyllis pretty much tell Jack what was going to happen with Phick then cut to the same exact thing happening.

No the only thing that was missing was a [!@#$%^&*] pile for those two pigs to be screwing around in.

Spot on JimTolkien, their marriage was never ideal and both cheated on each other constantly. I really don't see what their fans see in this pairing, other than maybe some high school sweet heart fantasy that this couple fulfills.

I'm not finding any of this especially dramatic. For whatever reason this whole thing has turned me off to Nick, Sharon, Jack and Phyllis in that order. I can't exactly put my finger on the reason. I just feel like the whole thing is covered in sleaze and desperation. People I generally find sexy are not sexy in this situation. I'm just disgusted by them all.

WOW! So much is going on right now: Everything from Adam's reign of terror against Ashley to Nick's dumping Phyllis for his ex-wife Sharon to Sharon not knowing who has knocked her up (Nick, Jack, Billy????), to Mary Jane having a crazed obsession for Jack to the lame "Scooby-Doo" antics of Daniel/Amber/Kevin/Jana. My question is: Have they forgotten about the "Phillip may/or may not be alive storyline"?

Nah. Cane just called him the other day.

Well they need to push forward with this tale. Is Phillip alive or not and who is Cane? A fraud?

Awesome show today. Bravo to Tom Cassiello - i thought his Winters episode was blah, but today he did everything right.

Yeah, kudos to Tom, Janice Ferri Esser and Mike Denney for a great all around episode.

- CE cemented his idiocy today - whatever the reason he left this role, he's the biggest fool for leaving. It's the meatiest role for a young male on daytime.

I'll go even further and say Adam is the most interesting character in daytime right now. CE, you're a fool!

- Poor Ashley.

- If I had any faith in the Emmys, MS's Emmy would be awaiting a playmate. She's just flawless. I almost got mad again today that they haven't utilized her for the past few years.

- SH though, she's just superb. I can't even imagine what MJ is going to do next. I'd also weigh in that SH should teach a master class in anti-heroines. Best casting of a new role I've seen since, well EH.

- Nick truly seemed just like his father's son today for the first time to me. His will to do just what he wanted, regardless of the consequences was Victor Newman. JM isn't the best actor, but his character makes a lot of sense to me, is intersting and I'm glad he'll never be able to get on his high horse again or for a very long time.

CE is quite the idiot I'm sorry to say! Adam's storyline is the juiciest EVER!!!!

They are just doing it by cycles, i assume, then this is just the way it falls.

so many things we dont know, yet we all jump to judge.

It's not that I don't know that, I'm making a comment about general perception. They obviously can't stop the leaks so that is something to consider

God is it Monday yet???

I saw it already. It's not as good as Friday's, but still pretty fun to watch.

A reply to your post before: yeah, I noticed too that this is like the 4th straight Friday cliffhanger. It reminds me a bit of Carlivati's consecutive Friday cliffhangers. I hope it'll be 5 straight this Friday.

Phyllis: I didn't ask for this! I didn't ask for any of this. Your daughter -- your daughter didn't ASK FOR THIS! She didn't ask for THIS!

Did you worry about Noah when you were f-cking his father behind Sharon's back, Phyllis? Thought so, karma is a bitch.

I'm not feeling a whole lot of sympathy for Phyllis. And yet I'm still disgusted with Sharon and Nick. Sharon and Nick always had their problems, but I still wish they had had a better reunion.
