ATWT---July Thread II

Here's my problem with Lynn Herring (and I gave her a day...), it's clear she's a lightweight. She may have a following, she's obviously capable. But she's got a little girl voice, with little girl giggles and little girl bangs. I don't NEED another lightweight in a Henry story. If anything, the comedic touches get in the way of the story. Tell an honest, dramatic story for Henry...JUST ONCE. Other than her remarkable resemblance to Kathy Hays, I see nothing to recommend about LH.

UGH..and speaking of PC rejects...Craig is driving me nuts. Camping out at Carly's...where the hell IS Johnny by the way? God, I wish Jack would just deck him and get it over with.

Loved the tension between Rosanna and Janet today. I've been itching for Ro to get catty with the dreadful current Mrs. Snyder, and it's obvious by the wrinkling of her nose that Rosanna had no use for Janet today.

Poor Sage...too bad she couldn't read Carly's letter out loud, so we'd know Carly isn't some kind of detoxing menace to her children.

LOL...it reminded me of the day Ro wrinkled up her nose at Meg during the Quad from Hell story, Kelly. :) Finally...someone nails Janet on her pissyness over Carly. FINALLY. *aaahhh sweet sweet justice*

Just a relaxed episode for me today. I think I am on the fence about Henry's mother. I have to agree that all the comedic aspects surrounding Henry's stories doesn't allow me to take him seriously half the time. I will be curious to see exactly what the point of having her around is. There's already so many people on the canvas that are fighting for airtime.

Sage still gets on my nerves. Everytime I see her I think what would have happened if I was in her shoes...probably would have got the taste slapped out my mouth. But whatever. Although I am in the minority of those who actually love Janet, today I was so ready for Rosanna to turn back into snarky Rosanna. Janet better stop talking that mess...Rosanna is like the non-abrasive version of her sister, she is *not* having it!

It kind of bugs me that Ro and Craig just...automatically trust Terry with the kids. I would find it awfully suspicious if some girl who was my waitress *in another city* wandered into town (of less than like 500 seemingly) talking about she lost her job and decided to track me down from my business card (when a phone call would have sufficed...really). Maybe it's a Scorpio thing, but I didn't find that very believable. I kept thinking "dang they gonna let her go all in Carly's kitchen and COOK something...?"

Paul & Emily were pretty hot, but gah...I'm started to get annoyed by Paul. He acts like he's got his head in the clouds. As much as I hate Meg, he is "a damn fool" for thinking all would be okay by just giving Meg child support.

I don't understand Meg at all. Who the hell does she really want? She's like a lightswitch. As much as I hate, hate, hate that Damian & Meg are hooking up, Damian is hot. Too bad he's wasting all his hotness on Meg, though. I thought Lucinda's comment about "showing some cleaveage and he's out the door" was hilarious.

Brad & Katie bore me to death. Henry overreacted to seeing his mom. I think it's irritating that he calls Katie about every single little thing about his life...and makes a bigger deal out of things than necessary. I actually have a friend that's kinda like that, and it's like, "You call me for this?!" Lynn Herring's alright. I think she's way more toned down than Trent Dawson. And P.J., you're right...she does look a bit like Kathryn Hayes!

I like the banter between Craig & Ro! I also think it's dumb that they just accepted Teri into their lives without any question. Everything surrounding Teri is just so unbelievable...from her running into Sage at the station, to them being friends (after..what? two days?), to her expecting Craig to help her find a job, for Craig to basically just hand her a job, etc, etc. Don't get me wrong. I like Teri. But this story is so plot-driven.

Sage annoys me. I don't care if she's Carly & Jack's daughter...she acts like a spoiled brat. I think Janet has her best interest at heart contrary to what everyone else might think (although I was thinking more along the lines of what Ro was thinking when Janet told her not to give the letter to Sage).

Janet's had RonaldMcDonald hair for three months now. To me, it says Julie Pinson is bored and decided to stick her head in a vat of kool-aid one day.

Why do people complain about Craig in a suit? He's ALWAYS been in suits, from the first day Hunt Block took the role. The same way Paul is never in a suit unless he's getting married. The same way Dusty is in some Godfather-wannabe black suit with dark shirts. I mean, it's not like Lindstrom is hiding some guns under that Italian silk. Frankly, I'm thankful we haven't gotten any skin time with him sleeping with Carly---I think I might have gagged.

What I can't believe re:Teri is that Ro's just letting Craig walk all over her in the process. Even if Ro thinks Jack's 'tude is uncalled for---not that I think it is---he's got every right to set the rules for HIS kids. I'm not sure how "Ro looking after the kids for Carly" translated into "the kids live with Rosanna 24/7." I mean, I understand Parker---he's not welcome at the farm (well, except now that Janet's decided to accomodate her husband with Libby out of town). But Sage has always moved freely between the farm and Milltown.

It's just Pissy's way of keeping Craig occupied with Carly's kids, while Jack sits on the backburner as Pissy's GoldenBoy eats up more airtime. Which SUCKS.

^^^^hey, at least in that pic, Janet's wearing blue. The rest of her wardrobe seems to consist of reds/hot red-pink-purpley-ish hues that clash with that hair.

SERIOUSLY...can't Craig go manipulate some business situation?? Watching him focus all his energy in screwing over Jack and making Rosanna his accomplice and look like an idiot is beyond tiresome. "Feelings" and "domestic situations" are not Lindstrom's strong suit. If he has any, period.

The Adam/Riley story just got icky...it's not that I don't understand Tom's pov. Margo has been all over "Riley", and then today she acts like a druggie who's having their stash threatened. But then "Riley" went and got all chummy with Ali...and the last thing I want to see is another Alison triangle. Is there some law mandating that Ali must screw her way through each new Hughes man (even if Adam's technically not a blood Hughes, it's close enough.) ICK.

Can't speak for anyone else, but it was just something that I observed and found alittle weird. Craig may have always worn suits, and perhaps Dusty as well, but that doesn't mean it makes any sense. What I look like walking around the city in my work clothes...on the weekend? I guess that budget is tight...can't be having all of these wardrobe changes...I understand how that goes sometimes.

    • 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.
