Members classicmoment Posted June 6, 2009 Members Share Posted June 6, 2009 Actually the whole time I'm thinking "who actually asks for this?" Sharon didn't. LoL just my twisted humor on top of it I was also thinkin yes!!! My Phyllis is back, a grown take no sh!t woman with sexiness, brains, and drive. Today's episode was beautifully written. Who wrote it? Brilliantly directed, produced and acted. I had the lowest expectations based on where story was going. I was pleasantly surprised. Loved Loved Loved the power outage/storm theme that played throughout the stories. The ending montage was awesome. I hate hate hate that this story spins around Nick like this he is a shell of a man. It is hard for me to stomach that these two women are going ape sh!t crazy for this piece of him. The good man within is lost, really what are these two idiots fighting to get from him? Based on Mondays spoilers The Sharon and Nick story is coming off as closure to me, I'm not sure what kind though. I know it's not to the whole Shick union, but something about the Shick union is reaching a climax here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted June 6, 2009 Members Share Posted June 6, 2009 Maybe closure to the Cassie story? That's what their reunion should be. I'm not sure they are achieving that in my view though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members classicmoment Posted June 6, 2009 Members Share Posted June 6, 2009 Yeah I was thinking that too, the symbolism of the close up of Nick and Phyllis' rings as they were becoming intimate with two great loves of their lives what was that all about? I hope it's not symbollic of this seemingly never ending Quad. Please do not try to build this into another Jack/Victor, Kay/Jill, Nikki/Victor/Ashley dynamic. It is already tiring, move on to the next inevitable chapter then wrap it up (I just know this won't happen). Speaking of Sharon/Nikki I just realized seeing them together again today how long I feel it has been. Nikki is exactly the right person not to sugar coat the truth about Sharon's actions to Sharon. That dynamic is definitly missing in the story, whilst always the snobby, uppity, condescending, judgemental, many times hypocritical mother-in-law it's always in care of how Sharon's actions affect the people that Sharon cares about that Nikki always pin points, unlike Phyllis who always had selfish motives. Nikki is so missing in all these stories, I don't want to get everybody wound up but....... *sighs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 6, 2009 Members Share Posted June 6, 2009 I think it's been unintentional closure. I don't know if the original version of this story was supposed to turn into yet another episode of Cassie being used as a crutch to excuse behavior from Nick and Sharon, but once their characters both became so tacky that some viewers were turned off, out comes ghostly Cassie and the gravestone.

Members Juliajms Posted June 6, 2009 Members Share Posted June 6, 2009 Yeah, I think that's pretty much my issue with this story. Nick and Sharon's reunion should have been a purposeful closure to the Cassie story. Even if it didn't last, I feel like there should have been a reunion and that it shouldn't be as twisted and dirty as this is. I'm not a fan of Sharon and Nick by any stretch of the imagination, but I feel like a the seeds of their reunion (no matter how long it lasts or doesn't last) were sown into the break up over Cassie. A reunion was absolutely necessary as far as I'm concerned, but the way it's been done is very hollow. Actually worse than hollow to me, it's repulsive. This quad has been having desperate, unsexy, sex with so many different partners that I wish (a non fatal) STD on all of them, so they are forced to take a break.

Members DRW50 Posted June 6, 2009 Members Share Posted June 6, 2009 The beats have been so confusing. Was Sharon supposed to be upset about Brad's death? Was her stealing a part of her past, along with blackouts, yet these were both apparently so noneventful that they stopped after a few months? Was this all supposed to be about Cassie's death? Why bring in Doris for a few episodes then have her disappear again? If this was about Nick and Sharon reuniting, then they never should have had sex. They could have had them having an emotional affair while Nick had sex with Phyllis. They still could have had Sharon sleeping with Billy and Jack if they needed her to be in a sexually frenzied downward spiral. All the story has done in my eyes is suggested Nick has no genuine love or respect for Sharon, and was just one of several men taking advantage of her fragile state. If I thought this was the point then I might get it, but the sudden return of "let's blame it on Cassie" doesn't suggest we're supposed to root against them being together.

Members DeeeDee Posted June 6, 2009 Members Share Posted June 6, 2009 Jack & Phyllis too. TPTB need to dump all 4 & start over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted June 6, 2009 Members Share Posted June 6, 2009 I completely agree. It's a failure from all sides. I just don't know how they thought sleazy sex was what anyone wanted from the Sharon/Nick reunion. Phyllis has continually disrespected Jack, so there is no way they should be together again either. Exactly. If Nick was supposed to be Sharon's savior ( a story I could have gotten behind, since he failed her when Cassie died) then he should not have had sex with her. I can't get over how disappointing this whole situation is. More so because it was 4 years in the making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MarkH Posted June 6, 2009 Members Share Posted June 6, 2009 Oh my....what an image! Followed rapidly by Mary Jane. When Paul says "I think I should care", you just feel how much love this twisted lady needs. CE also looks great in a purple sleeveless dress! Two wrongs never make a right. That Nick is the perpetrator of both wrongs now officially cements him as the schmuck of the decade. Both women need to leave him alone, take all his money, and he needs to be destitute and alone.

Members soapydoc Posted June 6, 2009 Members Share Posted June 6, 2009 Cassis has been a part of the quad story since Paris. Everyting with Shick has been built on her death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhythmchyc Posted June 6, 2009 Members Share Posted June 6, 2009 I really hate that Jack and Phyllis had comfort sex. It just bugs the hell out of me that Jack tells Sharon that he would even raise another man's child because he loves her so much and up and gets into Phyllis's pants while hurt and drunk on wine. I don't know if that was bad writing or, if intentional, yet another bad attribute Jack has? I wonder what he tells Sharon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted June 6, 2009 Members Share Posted June 6, 2009 I'm trying to think of a "Quad" story with two couples swapping partners that I've enjoyed on a soap. I can't think of one (even going back to when soaps actually had better writing). It just makes each character in the story seem equally shallow and debased, like they're playing some kind of erotic "musical chairs" game. (Actually, "erotic musical chairs" sounds kinda hot. I'd been into that.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
