Hmmn....what to say about today????

...it was nice to see Susan. And she got to be smart, testing the eggs' DNA.

...it was funny Emily's dress was the same dress Brooke wore on B&B today (only hers had a white line).

...I figured out Hunter's name must be Hunter Wagner. That's the last name his mother (Aurora Hunter) used on the birth certificate.

...I didn't blame Casey for stopping just short of calling Ali a tramp. She is an ex-porn queen afterall.

...I think Damian and Dusty are stupid. Just a few weeks ago, both of them would have nailed Paul as the culprit, since they both think he's bat chit crazy.

...it was nice to hear about Lucinda, even if we didn't see her.

...tomorrow looks better.

I kind of tuned out today's show. The good parts were Susan/Larry/Emily/Hunter story. It's nice to see Vets featured in a storyline that is somewhat sane.

Casey sure has been an ass lately. I am so sick of his little baby tantrums.

Never Damian nor Dusty asked what the guy who took the computer looked liked. How dumb is that? NOT even Lily asked..but Lily hasnt always been bright. It's just lazy writing by Pissant and Goutman. I hate that they are wasting Damian in this story. The writers are intent on torturing the audience with a Paul and Meg pairing. I wish they would just pair them already so I can ff their scenes only. Put Damian and Dusty in another story.

The Lucinda mention was nice.

Could Carly being on tomorrow have anything to do with your tomorrow looks better post?...Hehe

Yes, I think that could be it. I'm gearing myself up for the final push before Maura's leave. :)

And I can't believe how stupid and lazy the Paul/Damian/Dusty stuff is. (and I'm frightfully acclimated to Pissy's lapses in logic, blink and you missed it cross-country flights and coincidences from Hell..) No one can bother to ask for a description, no one can bother to CHECK SECURITY TAPES either. At WW, at the dock, at the Lakeview. UGH. I wish TIIC would just man up and scuttle the entire story, and fire most of the actors. I'd rather listen to Janet screech for the rest of the summer than sit through three men fighting over Meg.

LOL...I see you Kelly...but even I'll admit, it's funny seeing Paul carefree and whistling as he makes chumps out of the D-twins.

And if I must---I'll sacrifice Janet. In a heartbeat. :lol:

^^^has she started airing?? I hate DC's website, it takes forEVER to load.

I hate to say it, since I complain about the lack of family interaction sssoooo much...but I rolled my eyes through the Craig/Margo scenes. Like I really needed another of Craig's odes to "just how danged much" he loves Carly. I had to snort at his proclamation that "I think she's really the one." Throughout Craig's LONG history, I can name exactly two women he hasn't proposed to...Diana and Jennifer. There are probably others, but not that many.

I'm glad Rosanna is quite aware of Carly's rapid deterioration. Liked the Ro/Carly/Parker scenes.

I want to like the Casey/Adam stuff. I really do.

I know what you mean about DC. They had some info on her appearances so I linked there. Here's a direct link to the clip (she did start airing today).

I'm happy some show is taking advantage of her talent, and that ATWT is letting her do it instead of using this as an excuse to fire her. At least Lucinda will hopefully be there next year, to the end of Oakdale.

They give me these moments....then they rip them away (because you know Paul won't get away with it lol...and that's not even a spoiler, it's a fact of this show. Paul will get caught, Meg will screech, wash, rinse, repeat).

I wanna catch the Ro/Carly stuff on YouTube.

Ahhh...yes...those "presents". They've kept my paltry hopes alive for Carjack for years. Unfortunately now, I can't buy a Carly/Jack scene that isn't ruined by either GrampaLurch or MamaBootyCiccone.

The show wasnt half bad today. Either my standards are going down or I just stopped caring ...LOL.

I was shocked that Craig was shown with Margo in the hospital. But where was Kim and Co.?? She must be too busy getting the ratings up for her show and catering to Geneva Swift. No mother in law either?? Where was Lisa??

I also like the whole Ro/Carly and Parker stuff.

I am loving the Casey and Adam scenes.

Again enjoying Larry and Em.

Tomorrow looks like a good one with Carly totally losing it.

    • Don't forget Carrie, who as Carrie2 was screwing everything in pants, and PPD Reva, who to either get back at Josh for his supposed affair with Vanessa (or just to prove she's more desirable than Van) tries to screw half the male population.
    • Post-production isn't exactly akin to sweeping the floors, but it makes more sense given her CV.  And, it would invalidate any concerns that she has an undo influence on the creative process, as opposed to visual and sound design of the show.  In fact, given her interests, it makes sense that she would want to consult and see the impact of newer technology in a post-production facility.  I could only imagine how much has changed in sound technology since she worked on SB, and that might be intriguing to utilize. As well as their impending move (not as soon as B&B, but we all know it will happen) and helping set up post-production at the new facility. 
    • The last five or so episodes of season 8 after the Jean Hackney story ended were pretty strong with the Laura/Val friendship breakdown, Ben's PTSD with Val trying to help him, and the start of Jill realizing that Val was as much of a threat to her happiness with Gary as Abby was. I always thought that the Jean Hackney story should have ended at mid season at the latest... and then deal with the fall-out because seeing Ben/Val switch roles with Ben in mental decline instead of Val would have been interesting to explore.  And seeing Val and Laura's friendship suffer also was interesting and should have been explored especially with Karen caught in the middle and Abby both intrigued and amused at the conflict that she didn't cause. However, season 8 was the only Latham run season where Val was well written.  
    • Well, she's not in there sweeping the floors at the end of the night, and you don't bring in an award-winning producer to just sit on their backsides (or hey, maybe you do!). Again, without knowing the specific capacity she's in there working as⏤and it seems as if we are not going to at the present time⏤it's hard to speculate/discuss. I would interpret she's in a role that either would not require being credited, or she's, as others have speculated, is back and not receiving credit for the work she's done. That'd be like saying, per the WGA, all writers must be credited, but as we've seen by those who've worked as fi-core, they don't always receive credit.

       And, if my research is correct, per the DGA, you can request not to be credited for work you do. I could only assume the same would be for the PGA, as well.
    • When Anita read Barbara's letter, it started out with the viewers hearing it in Barbara's voice as Anita read silently. And then Anita saying the next portion aloud while Barbara's voice continued simultaneously. And then ending with Anita alone saying the last part aloud. Excerpt from interview  (link to full interview) The rest may be spoilerish -- Only the nonspoiler part here: I love the idea of reading that letter,” shares Tunie. “And at one point in the script, I think it said that my voice joined her, and [Anita] started reciting the letter from memory because [she] memorized this letter. I suggested to Steve Williford, our director, ‘What if it’s like that moment in Hamilton when Hamilton is writing the resignation letter to George Washington, and then he starts saying it too, and then Hamilton’s voice fades away, and then it’s all George. What if we do something like that?’ And he was like, ‘Oh, my God! I just got chills. Let’s do it!’ So, we did it.” I understood that it worked really well, so I’m really happy about that.”  
    • I think MVJ and Guza made a good team in the launching of the soap, and I'm hoping that the rotation of all stories and characters is maintained once he officially departs from the credits. And so far, Ron C's breakdowns have been decent... but they pop only when he's paired with a good script writer like Jazmin.   I hope once Guza leaves officially... that MVJ is able to reign in Ron C and the dread Jamey G.
    • I read that, but my interpretation was that she is uncredited because it is in a non-production capacity.  In others words, she's not secretly producing, or writing, as some had speculated prior to the confirmation. Her likeliest position would be in a post-production consultant capacity. I assume we agree on this?
    • Errol already confirmed she is back at Y&R and in a non-producing role; this alludes to she is not credited for the role she has.
    • I don't think Lisa served a purpose after the serial killer storyline. The writers never gave her anything to do but be Vicky's nemesis. Joanna Going deserved better. Another example of a character taking over the show and then the writers not having a longterm plan for the character.  Exhibit B: Sally Spencer. Such a missed opportunity. It really angers me how they misused her. She could sing and act and they just threw her away in that sexist nonsense storyline. Once the story was over, they wrote her off. The McKinnons should have lasted for years. I will give the show credit for how they introduced Sandra Ferguson as Amanda. I thought it was expertly done. She comes in and she immediately connected to RKK's Sam. She has chemistry with Matthew and she has realistic conversations with MAc and Rachel. That's how it is done. 
    • Great points, and it has not completely vanished. Leslie on Beyond the Gates fits the trope (she's still not over that Ted lovin' two decades later), though I will say there does seem to be an effort to make her more complex.
