Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted August 20, 2009 Members Share Posted August 20, 2009 Today was a fun show with a lot laughs. Henry: "He's in a wheelchair,we can beat him to the door." Babs: "Zip up your fly!" James: "Aren't family reunions wonderful?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members judeno Posted August 20, 2009 Members Share Posted August 20, 2009 Henry and Vienna's reaction when they opened the door and saw James...hilarious. As was Trent's delivery of the word 'BLOWFISH'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 20, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 20, 2009 Just watching the show now. Today's show is so funny. I am lobster loving CZP. Her scenes with Emily and Audrey were so good. Who is writing ATWT now?? What took Goutman so long to get Babs back and center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 20, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 20, 2009 Wow....great show and no Meg in sight. Tommorrow looks even better with Bob and Kim on too.....why did it take so long for this soap to be a least watchable again??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members baller Posted August 20, 2009 Members Share Posted August 20, 2009 Ok first the comments on the P&G blog just made my week. SOOOOO loving it. After Tuesday I'm not sure what they are doing with Teri but I still love the character and actress. Audrey and Babs were a freaking blast, I flove every moment. All of the James/Henry whatever story has just been fun to watch for me--would so rather watch that story than brooding Luke and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted August 20, 2009 Members Share Posted August 20, 2009 The Luke/Mason/Noah story, Holden's death and Carly's family are the weakest stories, in that order (with Nuke being the worst). Wednesday's episode was a breath of fresh air. This James story involves so many of my favorite characters in top form. I'm glad Henry and Vienna finally have something good to do away from Katie. This could be an interesting long term dynamic. Barbara continues to amaze me. Colleen Zenk Pinter looked AMAZING in her white dress. So classy, sexy and the perfect soap vixen. In fact, all the women in Oakdale are looking good. I just wish they could get Bonnie a decent wig. Speaking of Bonnie, I LOVE this romance with Dusty. This is the first pairing since Dusty's return that worked. It's nice seeing him with a strong woman that he doesn't need to save. Unfortunately, you can tell by their screentime how invested they are in this pairing. Notice, a black actress is what it took to get Grayson off the frontburner. Sickening. Can't wait to see what's in store for the Hughes/Stewart's today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted August 20, 2009 Members Share Posted August 20, 2009 I really want to like this James story. There's just this niggling suspicion whatever James' motivation is, it'll turn out to be a huge letdown. At least it's putting Barbara back where she belongs---front and center. I know I'm supposed to sympathize with Ali---but she's such a martyr, I don't give a flip. And it's obvious where this is headed---a Riley/Ali/Casey triangle. ICK. Does Ali have to do every Hughes male under 40? I can't believe the only real 20-something female on the show has this endless stream of men panting after her. Floving Bob and Kim.

Members DRW50 Posted August 20, 2009 Members Share Posted August 20, 2009 Her staying quiet annoyed me because she could do Kim more harm than good by letting Bob continue to be with her in the capacity of a doctor. I don't know if she's changed her position yet, I haven't seen the last 2 episodes yet. You're right, this will mean Ali has been with every Hughes man under 40, unless they SORAS Daniel to adulthood before the show ends. Oh wait, he's her biological nephew. Even the Snyders don't go there, much less the Stewarts. Phew. I still wish they'd done more with Chris. I don't remember the last recast being that bad. Paul Korver wasn't that bad either.

Members Soapsuds Posted August 20, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 20, 2009 Another great show. The whole Babara and James stuff was funny and so good. Loved seeing Bob and Kim and Tommy...more Barbara tomorrow....love having her front and center once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted August 21, 2009 Members Share Posted August 21, 2009 This version of Tom drives me nuts. The actor has never clicked for me and now that he's on more I just want him to STFU already. Daniel is Ali's biological half brother. Thank god.

Members DRW50 Posted August 21, 2009 Members Share Posted August 21, 2009 I always get the nephew/brother thing confused with him. I think Scott Holmes has done good work as Tom in the past, especially in the 90s, but the screaming his lines I can't take. I also miss the Tom humor, which I know was never a major part of Holmes's version but seems completely gone now. But to be fair that's true for most characters.

Members Juliajms Posted August 21, 2009 Members Share Posted August 21, 2009 It's seriously makes me want to slap him along with his arrogance. Good grief! Bob is 80 years old. Is it that hard for people to accept that he might be having memory issues? Does the name Mac ring any bells? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted August 21, 2009 Members Share Posted August 21, 2009 Y'know...even I didn't really think it was possible Liberty didn't comprehend it was Faith that Parker was hugging the other day. But lo and behold, that's the excuse they trotted out to excuse Liberty's bad decision making skills. *EYEROLL* And then Parker went on to elaborate you mean, my cousin Faith? You can bet Kriezman sure didn't pen that line. Not once did it look like Liberty realized that Faith is indeed her cousin too. I guess she's still having trouble untangling the Snyder family tree. Why does Craig get to speechify at Rosanna, again? The man nearly killed her. Accident or not---that doesn't change the fact she nearly died thanks to him and his schemes. And yet, Craig gets to play the "I've changed, and you're a bitter old bitch" card. The fact Rosanna doesn't knee him in the groin every time he shows up at Carly's house (and walk in like he owns the place) is all the generosity he deserves. And all this ZenCraig the Noble crap irritates and bores me. I'm not sure I like where this Stenbeck story is taking Henry or Barbara. I don't buy for a moment that Babs is so worried about Paul's financials that she'd work to get Paul a share of James' money. And I don't buy it from Henry either. Yeah, I know he's done anything for a buck in the past, but it just seems off somehow now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted August 21, 2009 Members Share Posted August 21, 2009 Barbara would never get involved with James again. No one in Oakdale who knows James's history would ever think that they could win or come out ahead when dealing with him. That's the problem with this sort of long term villain. The idea that anyone would trust him again is completely ludicrous and has been for about 20 years now. So the characters have to be dumbed down to make it work. I like it when soaps return to their roots, but unfortunately ATWT has played the James card too often now. They need another arch villain and Paul is not it. And all this ZenCraig the Noble crap irritates and bores me. I miss Hunt Block. His Craig was a bastard and enjoyed every minute of it. Me too, but it was clear no one was going to believe her until they see for themselves. I'm a couple of days behind as well, so maybe Tom or Margo have seen by now. I guess it's a minor point, but it annoys me that Ali didn't repeat the dosage to Bob. I have to believe that any nurse would repeat the dose and the med name before administrating a drug without a written order. I know I'm nitpicking, but there should not be any question in Ali's mind that she gave the dose Bob prescribed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
