LOL...I guess Casey's "fluff" isn't the first thing I marvel at---the man has some guns. Then I tune him out when he starts talking to, about or anything that might be related to Alison.

Goodness gracious....Lily wasn't this worked up when she found out Carly was doin' her man and stepped on that gas pedal.

Meg&Damian&and that cutesy talk---the second coming of Jack/Janet in all their barftastic glory.

OY VEY...poor Jack, stuck in the Vortex of Craig worship, and now one step closer to having screeching Ciccones in quadrophonic stereo, harping on his every move.

COME HOME, CARLY!

Honestly, nothing in soapland was really interesting me. I only started watching ATWT again because of Damian's return, but glad to say that the show is sucking me back in.

Something tells me that the whole Meg/Damian thing was only just a way to pave the way for a Lily/Damian reunion. I think it's hilarious that Damian could immediately tell that Lily was jealous. She's definitely not good at hiding how she really feels.

I'm surprised Holden didn't go ballistic when he found out that Meg & Damian are sleeping together.

Finally! Jack admits he's wrong! P.J., I really don't get your Craig hate. I liked Hunt Block Craig, liked Scott Bryce's version even more, but am liking Jon Lindstom in the role just as much.

I don't have a problem with Craig...I just hate how it's understood (like an understood silent letter in a word) that Craig can be saint one day and sinner the next. What baffles me even more is why Rosanna gives him the light of day. Someone even brought up the fact Craig tried to kill her and she just annyoingly fluttered her eyelids.

This age-old pissing match between Damian and Holden is getting old. Let's throw them shirtless into a tub of jello and watch 'em duke it out.

Luciano, my ass, Damian. We both know you only want him around to ruffle Holden's feathers and send Lily into your warm sexual embrace when Holden goes postal on her for not taking "his side". And besides, I personally think Luke should watch his back around dear old dad. De-gaying camp, gimme-your-inheritance plots, there's no telling what's coming next...

Sage is already showing dependency at such an early age. Reminds me of Carly; she was pretty clingy when she first came to town...first Rosanna, then Mike, then John, then Hal, etc.

Parker...either you hate Craig, or you don't. Quit being so wishy-washy.

And lastly....when did Jack become such a stick in the mud? I remember the days of the bad-boy-turned-good-cop, and I just want to scream. He's become such a douche. As much as I loathe his pairing with Janet, she does have a point. He's always talking about his family, but he neglects to remember that the bimbo he married IS his family.

I've hated "Craig" since Sheffer reinvented the character in '00. I think Hunt Block sucked balls. He's a HORRIBLE actor. And frankly, Lindstrom is just as bad. And by that, I don't mean, "he's such a good actor because he inspires hate in me..." I mean he's a horrible, stiff, uninspiring, overrated actor. He annoys me more than those models-turned-actors like Mark Collier, who get hired to play himbos on their six-packs and smiles because TIIC need fresh meat to throw at the resident bimbette.

There's ONE emotion stuck on Lindstrom's face, and that's a smug superiority. No matter who's he's with---his five year old son, his lover's teenage kids, his sisters, or his lover. Lindstrom doesn't even emote---he locks on to them with his beady little eyes and reels off his dialogue. I've never gotten the feeling of Lindstrom connecting to the material. He can bellow the live long day that he "loves his kids more than his life" or "has become a changed man thanks to Carly,"....it NEVER resonates for me.

I'm sick of ATWT being invaded by GH/PC "talent". I'm tired of As Craig's World Turns. And I'm mightily sick of the fawning writing for Pissy's newest GoldenBoy, wherein he's Oakdale's newest Saint. I can't wait for Carly to come home and kick him in the balls and out of her life for good. I only hope I live to see the day, because honestly, continuing to watch this show in her absence might give me a coronary.

Okay...as an anti-Janet fan (and I think soon to be completely anti-Ciccone, if today's Ciccone screech-union was an example of things to come...), I'll admit, watching her implode simply at the sight of Teri's buffet spread and dethrone Janet as the resident Cook-extraordinaire nearly brought tears to me eyes. FINALLY, something that's unsatisfactory in Janet's life that she can't blame on Carly. I wasn't sure I'd live to see that day dawn.

Then it turned into another Craig lies his ass off fest, and my blood pressure went up again. I can't believe I have Brad to look up to as my hero, for snarking Craig down a few pegs with his condescending offer of "help" now that Brad's unemployed. I guess I'm supposed to forget a big part of the reason Brad got fired is because of Craig's scheme to frame him for a murder that wasn't even committed?

Oh...and Audrey can leave. NOW. Seriously...old school GH fans missed Lynn Herring? Why, FCOL, why?

Well I thought last weeks show were good and the ratings reflect it somewhat. This past week was dull and boring. The only good parts were Tom and Margo. I don't care for the Lynn Herring character. Reminds me of Gwennie's Mom ....shudders...LOL. I actually like Theresa. Who would have thunk?? But I still hate Janet and Jack together. They are so boring to watch. Jack has become a big bully and Janet is still taking his crap.

I hate to say it, but I'm actually beginning to feel sorry for Janet. To have such a heavy burden at 16 like she did (being pregnant and kicked out and all), I really do sympathize with her sadness over not getting to experience everything that her younger sister Teri did.

Sparks alert!!! Katie, watch your back. I think Teri and Brad have pretty good chemistry.

I don't care much for Audrey. I'm just staying tuned to find out what sort of shenannigans sent her running into baby son's arms. I can almost sense a "Monster-In-Law II" coming between Vienna and Audrey.

The Teri/Liberty meeting was very well written. I actually enjoyed it alot.

Oh, gag me, Craig. That pompous attitude that you only show to Rosanna is the exact reason why everyone in Oakdale hates you. It baffles me how he can spin mind games and trick people into doing what he wants them to (like a puppetmaster) and then when someone calls him out, it's the same ole "waaaah, everybody hates me. I've done nothing to warrant such harsh treatment. Waaah!"........Oh, give it a freakin rest already. Get off my screen!! :angry: (P.S.---Rosanna's just as dumb for listening to his B.S.!! Since when did she become so watered down? Ugh!)

Seriously, Jack is about to have a mental breakdown. The way he hovers over those kids is awful. Even Parker is tired of Jack's huffing and puffing. I hate the way they are writing Jack but it is causing major problemos for Janet.

I hate Katie. So I wouldnt mind a Teri and Brad pairing. I find Brad and Katie boring too.

Why do i get the feeling Audrey is in cahoots with James Stenbeck. It's just a feeling I get.

There is way too much Craig on the show and I hate Lindstroms version of Craigy...

And enough of Meg and her men. Geesh..it's Katie 2.0 all over again. Backburn Meg now please.....

I forgive you. LOL...;) While I'm sure that hurt Janet, at some point you have to move on. Just from the way she was introduced, a woman in her mid-30's cough*snort*cough still pining away for the high-school boy who knocked her up, and slutty enough to think she could bop into town and bust up his marriage, it seems to me Janet has spent years "stuck" in some fantasy where her life would have been better "if". "If" she'd told Brad. "If" her parents hadn't kicked her out. Blah-blah-blah. I'm not saying it would be easy to raise your kid alone and still go after your dream of being a chef or whatever, but it seems to me Janet just gave up instead of even trying to make her life better. Y'know, no matter how disappointed her parents were that she got knocked up, having a grandchild might have softened them up quite a bit if she'd swallowed her pride and tried to reconcile with them.

Sing it...GOD, I hate the every last ounce of Craig's smugness. Idiot's earned people's hate. I only wish the entire town set out to destroy him like they did on GL once with Roger. He deserves it.

They kicked her out. I have heard of several cases of pregnant teens getting kicked out; their parents genuinely never want to see their child again. It's heartbreaking. I just feel bad that Janet was kicked to the curb, pregnant, naiive, young, broke, etc. It wasn't a matter of her giving up; it was a matter of her not being able to try. She had a baby, for pete's sake! Not to mention, I'm sure she was probably broke too, since she had to work for everything. Teri, meanwhile, was practically handed things like France and culinary school. In Janet's mind, that's not only low, but that's a kick in the face. I would be beyond upset with my parents if I found out that they had kicked me out for getting pregnant, made me grow up way too fast, and work for everything I ever needed in life. I would also be even more mad and extremely hurt to learn that they had financed all my baby sister's dreams, without question. That's just low and tacky. In fact, Iris Dumbrowski comes to mind.

Idk, I just feel really bad for her. Topped with the fact that Jack's been a raging migraine she can't get rid of, I feel like Janet deserves way better.

Jack is giving me a migraine too. I wish he would just admit he wants Carly and his family back. I find it so dumb that Jack has all the answers yet he still lives with Emma. What happened with finding a place for Janet and him?? If I were Emma I would have thrown Jack out of the farm already.

I feel so bad for Michael Park, being handed that stick-in-the-mud crap, while everyone starts lecturing Jack on how to raise his kids. You've got Janet, who's daughter is almost as screwed up as Parker, you've got Craig, who'd rather send his daughter to jail than admit he's a lousy wreck of a human being who didn't deserve to raise his kid, and you've got Rosanna, who has very limited experience with children.

Pissy just can't write "good" people without making them look like jerks. The only male characters she's interested in are the "bad boys" like Craig, Paul and Dusty. And I don't care for any one of that unholy trinity.

    • 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.
