A brain chip?...lame... I am going to ramble...lol

You know the Nukesters are going to get you PJ for saying Jake Silbermann can't act even with scruffy on him...lol How in the hell can Noah be a senior already?? There is no possible way.

Once again Van continues to smirk and make these faces when acting opposite Silbermann. Van has gotten that bad habit from playing opposite Silbermann too much. When he isn't with Silbermann ...his acting improves. His scenes with Jon & Noelle are more natural.

I was hoping Meg and Harem would all get caught up in the big explosion. I loved Emma's little talk with Saint Meg. She never learns and it seems she will go back to Pauly once again...sigh.

Emma and Babs were golden. Reminds me of the good old days of ATWT.

Mason please [!@#$%^&*] Noah and take him far away from Luke.

Ruxton - get ready for this. Apparently, Silbermann made some innocent comment that he'd like to play Noah's evil twin, so now lots of Nukesters are bombarding TPTB with that idea. Ugh - can you imagine 2 characters? One's bad enough where Silbermann can't act, let alone two.

I know already. I think he made the comment in one of the soap mags. The Nukesters already bombard TPTB with postcards etc etc for more Nuke airtime. Now they want the idotic evil twin plot for Silbermann. I just want TPTB to get rid of Silbermann. Spend the money on something else. As the old saying goes....Silbermann can't act his way out of a paper bag. The guy is awful. I'd even take a good recast of Noah if they arent going to get rid of the character.

Today was not as good as yesterday, but that was more or less given when the horror that is Meg/Paul/Dusty/Damian had screentime. I have to say though that Paul was somewhat amusing with his one-liners. But the other three could be written out immediately and I wouldn't miss them one bit! Why did they ever bring Dusty back!! He's brought absolutely nothing to the show, nothing!!

Lovely to see Emma again, it's been too long! The scenes with her and Barbara were today's clear highlights. So now we had Susan on yesterday, Emma and Barbara today and Kim and Bob tomorrow?! Is it "Veteran's week" or something? Not that I'm complaining. Now, if we could get Lisa, Tom and Lucinda too......

I'll reserve judgment on Mason until we've seen more of him, but I'll say this, if they're thinking about putting him with Noah, think again. Not an ounce of chemistry there. Zero, zip, nada!

And I agree with Ruxton Hills, Luke is better away from Noah nowadays. I actually used to like them together, but I think it's time for Luke to move on. Noah is growing increasingly boring.

Nice to see Holden back to being Luke's father. I definitely prefer him over Damian. But oh how I miss Martha Byrne as Lily in family scenes like that! :(

I don't know what I find more annoying...Luke's sense of entitlement, or his '70's porn hair attempt. Stick a cheesy mustache on him and you can practically hear the lame "I'm hear to fix the plumbing, sir" dialogue with a "bow chicka bow bow" riff in the background. The only thing Van really does well is Luke's annoying bitchy-possessive commentage anytime any man comes within a mile of his lay.

My other thought was...why is "Professor" Mason dressed for winter in the Antartic? It's the middle of summer in Illinois. At least he could have ditched the scarf.

I hate Van's bitchy attitude of acting. Gawd...it's so bad.

Hahaha..PJ have you seen the video of Van when he finds out he was nominated for an Emmy?? He is wearing curlers and says it's to get his hair it's best or something like that...lol. Does Van frost his hair?? Color it??...or should I see the hairstylists at ATWT?? His hair color changes so much.

Didnt notice the Mason attire. I just hope he gets Noah in his own boring orbit. I just hope he seduces Noah. lol

The only ATWT emmy nom reaction I was interested in this year was Maura's...and as usual, I got squat. Not even an "I called Maura as soon as I heard" blurb from anyone else.

So I looked at neither of CBS' pimpage for Hansis or Pinson. Neither of whom I think deserved a nom or have a shot in hell of winning.

LOL...I hear a collective gasp from Nuke Nation in my head. :lol: I'm freakin' EVIL...

But just knowing Hansis had curlers in his hair....:ROTFLMAO:

I know some of Maura's previous maternity leave exits have involved character assassination. Do you think that was the plan this time with Carly but Maura and the other actors managed to turn the material around, or did the show actually make an effort this time?

I didn't notice Mason's outfit, either. He dresses up like a total hipster, though. Haha...

It was nice seeing Holden being Luke's father again. I don't think Jake Silberman is a terrible actor (he's nowhere near Peyton List-bad)...I just don't find him particularly interesting.

The prospect of Damian even considering teaming up with Dusty is mindboggling. I do miss evil Damian, though. That sure was a WTF moment when he told Meg he changed for her. I actually don't mind Paul & Meg when they're bantering like they were momentarily at Fairwinds...Paul sure is witty, I'll give him that. I had to crack a smile when he asked Dusty if he was going to make him swim with the sharks. :lol:

I actually liked the way the show ended with the bomb. Paul having a brainchip is such a Days of Our Lives thing to do!

Sigh...I don't know. I mean, it's not as disasterous as Carly taking off with Simon, or even back-writing an unknown husband that made her a bigamist three times over.

And Carly becoming an alcoholic is rather tame, considering Em's foray into hookerdom.

But there is just a part of me that detests the way they got Carly to this point in the story. Of course, my number one problem being Carly letting Craig back into her life after blaming him for Rosanna's coma for like, five years (if you go by Johnny's SOARSing, anyway.)

I suppose, on the whole, it appears the writing staff made an effort this time. Shocking, I know. This is one of the few times she's left on a semi-hopeful note, even. She's going to rehab to get better. And it's not like she'll come home a pariah.

Ugh...if there's one trend I hate, it's children who stop treating the person who raised them like a parent. Remember when Adam practically divorced himself from Tom, went to live with Hal, and then spent most of his time hanging out with Jake and Molly?

Now, not only does Luke seem to spend every waking moment consulting Damian, Lily's buzzing around her ex like a little ladybug whore.

Barbara and Bob....pure golden. Too bad we didn't have Kim included instead of her being stuck in the Geneva Swift mess. It would have been a Margo, Bob, Kim & Barbara moment at the hospital...sigh...seeing Don Hastings today proves how he is being wasted. This man could still drive his very own storyline. Yet, we get Meg 24/7 and her stooge suitors.

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow

    • Today's episode was excellent. Clearly it was confrontation day and they didn't disappoint. I'm glad they didn't forget Mona in all of this and gave us an opportunity to see how she's dealing with this. A major highlight for me were the Kat and Martin scenes. Their chemistry is off the charts and I don't understand why we haven't gotten more of this. I love how they take turns calming each other down. They feel really well matched and believable as siblings. Speaking of siblings, they anvils were dropping strong that Kat and Eva are twins but I do wish someone would mention that they are essentially hood twins which might throw people off the scent.  I'm one of the people who enjoyed Joey and the gambling storyline so it was nice to see him again. It was nice to see different characters like Mona and Eva in that element instead of the usual players. When Doug arrived I don't know what hit me but I just see a funeral in his future. He seems so hopeless and has the worst luck. I just can't see him surviving the year at this rate.
