ATWT---July Thread II


Recommended Posts

Hell must have frozen over because I didn't mind Meg today. When Paul and her aren't screaming at each other, they're bearable. It was great seeing Paul pushing her away, although I think it's just lame that he has this defeatist attitude where he doesn't even try to remember who he is and the people in his life simply because he can't remember. I think anybody else who suddenly got amnesia would be desperate to find out something about their identities.

Barbara looked absolutely devastated when Paul told her that, like Meg, there's no reason for her to stick around.

I like Mason so far...moreso than Luke & Noah. I thought that "breakup" scene (if you can even call that 5-second stint a breakup) was super rushed and unrealistic. But I thought Mason's nonchalant reaction was pretty funny.

Holden & Dusty talking? Hell has really frozen over! I love Bonnie asking Dusty why the damsel can't rescue the white knight for once. That said, I hate Dusty and would prefer to see Bonnie with someone like Paul.

If we're supposed to root for Meg & Damian, why do they continuously put Meg in scenes with Paul and Damian in scenes with Lily? The latter, especially, is an affair waiting to happen. Lily looked absolutely stunning today in that black dress.

Today was an okay day overall, but I'd rather see these characters over the Geneva quad.

What a show! Bob, Kim, Lisa, Tom, Margo, Casey, Adam, Larry & Susan in one show with no Geneva Swift & Co and Meg & her stooge story? Gawd I am in heaven.

Is Bob and Kim getting a storyline?? Or am I dreaming the whole show??

This is the type of shows I love!!

Well, at least I could be interested in the stories today. It was nice seeing our handful of vets. I think Hunter is a bit odd, but I do get a kick of how direct he can be, like when Ali was trying to gloss over Emily's egg fiasco and he just blurted out "it was stolen. By Larry McDermott." And Lisa's incredulous "Susan had another baby she never knew about" and Margo's starchy "no, they were not married!" were funny.

Another summer, and it looks like another "Bob's got a medical condition on the horizon" story is on the way.

However, I'm not sure Ali's entitled to her "Casey's so mean to me" crap. Wasn't she just seconds away from nailing a guy she barely knew when Casey interrupted them?

Not understanding why Emily needs more eggs to have a baby. No one's said she's out of eggs, just that her tubal ligation means she can't get pregnant naturally.

Margo's a big ol' hypocrite for keeping "Riley's" secret.

This past month has been the first time I'm watching ATWT regularly for the first time in two years. Weird consider for the most part it remains bland, uninteresting with the mediocre material, but I still find it passable/watchable. My standards must be gone.

Quick question, where is JJ Snyder? He doesn't seem to live at Carly's anymore because we never see him.

JJ was shipped off to private school last December, oddly, right before Jack's marriage to Janet (or maybe not so oddly, I would have skipped it too...) I know there's been some talk of Daniel Manche having done a movie since.

Kelly...it's nice to see someone happy. :)

I wish Ro would have taken her size five and sent a spike through Craig's johnson. What an annoying, chauvinistic, piece of work he is. He treated Carly the same way, btw...she could just never call him on it.

I am so friggin' sick of Luke's passive-aggressive BS. Poor Noah can't wipe his butt without Luke's input/written in triplicate permission, and when Noah calls Luke out on his jumping without thinking, it's all Noah's fault for being too preoccupied with his SENIOR PROJECT.

Otherwise, I'm happy for Kelly, I'm sure she loved the Paul/Em stuff. Me OTOH, thinks that Em's got two socially inept children (Paul and Hunter) to deal with now. Poor Paul's going to get his face slapped (or worse) with his inappropriate asides.

The previews did however, give me a small bit of hope---Jack gets to make an appearance. *sigh* I'm sure he'll be playing second fiddle in his kids' lives...but hey--at least it's a reminder he's their father--not Craig.

I only caught the last two acts of today, but I actually enjoyed Paul & Emily. I forgot that she shot him! LOL.

I can understand where Holden & Lucinda are coming from, but Luke hit the nail when he said that Damian has been the only person who has asked him what he wants to do with his life.

Why do TPTB insist on making Damian wallpaper? Please do not tell me that he is going to sleep with Meg! :wacko: I just kept thinking after watching the previews where Lily asks why she would care who Damian sleeps with..."Uhh..because that's your sister-in-law!"

digs post off the second page...

This show is such a friggin' mess. I mean, I knew that a while ago...but today's arbitrary jumps just prove it to me. Meg goes from mourning some sliver of hope of a reconciliation (after six months of being fed up with Paul and his attempts to worm back into her life) to jumping Damian. Paul arbitrarily decides (without even asking what she's talking about) not to have surgery. (And really, like there's just some miracle "memory restoring" surgery anyway...) Paul and Em jump each other, and I get an icky "second virginity" reference. Lily arbitrarily looks sick at the thought of her ex-husband going off to talk with her SIL. Ugh...I so don't want another Lily triangle. Then Kim who after reading Henry the riot act (with a "kiddo" speech, which is muy, muy seriouso in Kim-speak) again out-of-the-blue proves herself a ratings-ho and offers Henry a hosting gig.

I hate to judge an actor on one corny line, but Lynn Herring didn't impress me in her twenty-second debut.

OMG KELLY....if you're reading this, there's a hilarious picture of Em, Paul and BABS at the pgp blogspot.

PJ, I saw that pic! LOVES IT! Babs and Em are two of my faves, and Paul's expression is freakin' hilarious.

I thoroughly enjoyed my trashy Paul and Em today lol. And I also loved Emily owning Meg. That was a thing of beauty.

I loved this exchange.

Paul: I think I love you.

Emily: Don't ruin the moment.

LMAO!

    • 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.
