Members SpiritualJunkie Posted August 19, 2009 Members Share Posted August 19, 2009 Dude, you need to hurry up, so you can talk about the show with me! Hahaha...I feel like I'm the only one making thorough day-to-day comments here! My thoughts about Tuesday's show: Teri annoys me, which sucks 'cause she went from being likable to being a total creeper. Did she really think that Craig would not notice her cozying up next to him?? Janet coming in to tell Teri about Holden's death was a WTF moment. I don't think Teri even knows who Holden is. I like Craig & Rosanna. Not sure if revisiting a romance would work, but I like them as the bickering duo that they are right now. I hate what they're doing to Damian with this storyline. It was only a few weeks ago that Holden was driving people insane with his control freak attitude and now, Damian is channeling Holden. I know that Damian has been a control freak before (ie. his reaction to Luke coming out), but it feels like they are trying to paint Holden as some saint when his character actually hasn't been all that interesting since his affair with Carly. But back to the show...how did Damian get a hold of Holden's dental records? I love that Damian is focusing more of his attention on Lily than on Meg, but gah...dude cannot take "no" for an answer! And what poorly made decision to lie about the dental records matching with the teeth on the body they discovered. Damian's gonna have a lot of explainin' to do when the truth comes out. Noelle Beck was absolutely phenomenal in portraying both Lily's grief and hope. The part where Damian went to check up on Lily in her bedroom and told him, "You shouldn't be here. You're not my husband. I just want my husband." Heartbreaking...and I hate Lily & Holden as a couple. I also really enjoyed Lily's scenes with Jack. Jack came off as very removed from Holden's death, so it was nice to see Lily point out his lack of tears. Looks like we're back to some camp tomorrow. After a handful of depressing days, I'm up for some silliness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted August 19, 2009 Administrator Share Posted August 19, 2009 From the few scenes I've scene, Teri is pretty hot. So I've been switching to ATWT during OLTL commercials to see her. I haven't watched ATWT since January. How did Holden die? Aren't Parker and Faith related and grew up as family even though they're not blood related - I didn't get why Liberty got jealous when she saw them hugging.

Members P.J. Posted August 19, 2009 Members Share Posted August 19, 2009 ^^^^Because Liberty's a Ciccone who thinks with her va-jay-jay first and her brain third. I'm not sure there is a second...and I'm not even sure Libby knows who Faith is. I've never even seen her say "hello" to Emma. Ever since they met, Parker's been all about her---it wouldn't be hard to imagine her not knowing anything of Parker's previous friendship with Faith. But on a more practical level, my guess is Liberty felt brushed off by Parker again, because he promised he'd show up at the school picnic after he finished work, and then she finds him with Faith. Then, being Janet's daughter, she threw herself under the first man she talked to. Holden was in Kentucky on business, and picked up a "cop" who flagged him down on the side of the road. Of course the "cop" turned out to be an escaped prisoner who shot the cop who's uniform he was wearing. He made Holden drive out to the middle of nowheresville, they exchanged clothes, including Holden's wallet, watch and wedding ring. They got back in the truck, and certain the guy was going to kill him, Holden tried to crash the truck. Unfortunately, he picked a spot overlooking a deep ravine. The truck exploded, but there's only one corpse. Charred beyond recognition of course. Eh...about today. The Janet/Teri/Craig saga seemed so random. Like SJ said...why Janet was traisping around Oakdale hunting Teri down to tell her about Holden didn't make a lick of sense. Then we cut to a scene of Meg and Jack talking, where it sounded to me like Jack was just being told by Meg. And I'm not sure Janet told Rosanna. I just saw a bunch of storyline anvils dropping---Teri couldn't stop hinting her family was mob-connected, Janet's randomly up in Teri and Craig's faces about "what's going on", Craig is acting dumber than a box of rocks, and Rosanna seems inappropriately territorial. And not just on Carly's behalf. I liked the Jack/Lily scenes more...but there's something still a little icy about Noelle Beck that doesn't persuade me she's really all that hysterical over Holden's death or her "guilt" over whatever feelings for Damian she has. I did appreciate the use of history, bringing up Jack's accident when he was presumed dead. And maybe because I buy the bond between Holden and Jack (even though it hasn't been well served since Holden's affair with Carly...) I bought Jack's grief.

Members Chris B Posted August 19, 2009 Members Share Posted August 19, 2009 There is something so superficial about Noelle Beck that I can't stomach. I don't believe her as the mother of any kind of child and she doesn't fit as Lily Snyder. Lily Walsh 15 years ago maybe, but it's 2009. Everything about her acting is very soapy in a cheesy, romance novel sort of way. I only really buy her in scenes with Damian or fighting with Meg. She's made for that soap princess type of stuff. Everything else? Dud. I don't really care that Holden is dead yet again. I'm much more interesting in the love triangle. I love seeing that mixed in with everyone grieving. It's a very soapy story that is somehow working (again). I guess since I haven't been watching I'm having difficulty understanding Craig. Was he truly dating Carly when she left? I'm trying to get a handle on the likelihood of a romance between him and Teri. I wouldn't be totally against it, but surely that isn't the most interesting route for either character. Adam and Casey desperately need a woman who isn't named Alison...Also, how does Rosanna tie into things? She has no romance, but seems awfully involved in Craig's life. Does she want him too? Parker and Liberty are a terrible couple. I just can't seem to force myself to like her AT ALL. Parker is enjoyable in scenes with the adults, but if this is the best romance for him, then let him be single. I must give ATWT credit for using the location shooting when it benefits the story and not just for the sake of it. It still feels like a treat and IMO, this is a soap. I don't need nonstop location shooting or realness. I just want soapy goodness. Guiding Light forgot to entertain when they were so focused on making everything real. I'm glad ATWT hasn't forgotten what they're here to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted August 19, 2009 Members Share Posted August 19, 2009 ICAM. Sigh...I would say Craig and Carly were in limbo at the time she left. Technically, he still considers himself an engaged man. Carly didn't give him back his ring after she failed to appear at their wedding. She begged him to take her away and try and dry out on her own. But it failed and she went to rehab. But she's jilted him twice in six months---once sober, once drunk---and it's hard for me to take any talk of either being "committed" to the other seriously. Rosanna I pray Parker stays far away from Liberty. I hated his stalker-ish, obsessive love for Liberty. I also hated his constant put-downs of Carly, but he started turning a corner there before she left for rehab. So the return of nice, sensible Parker has been like a breath of fresh air.

Members soapfan770 Posted August 19, 2009 Members Share Posted August 19, 2009 The Stenbeck story is still being used for comedic value, which is a shame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted August 19, 2009 Administrator Share Posted August 19, 2009 Thanks, PJ. Henry is James' son? What? Is Henry's mom lying or is this for real? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted August 19, 2009 Members Share Posted August 19, 2009 They seem to be serious. I don't quite get why James needs another son, and it's clear that Trent's not getting to play the dramatic sense of it all, which is a shame...but at least it feels like a family-centered story, which is something ATWT's lacked lately. It's giving CZP and KMH a chance to shine again (and after the past few years of Em, I'm shocked I'm saying that...). I actually found myself liking the Babs/Paul/Em scenes today. And day-um....CZP looked fabulous today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kelly1142 Posted August 19, 2009 Members Share Posted August 19, 2009 Emily: My lawyer says I should send you a big bunch of roses. Do you like red or white? Barbara: You know what you can do with your roses. LMAO! Oh Babs/Em = win. And Babs walking in on Paul and Emily going for round 2? Hilarity. And the huge eyeroll when Paul said Emily could come to find Henry? I am LOVING see Babs/Em almost as much as I'm loving seeing Paul/Em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted August 19, 2009 Members Share Posted August 19, 2009 I like the story, but I just can't take it seriously whether from Henry and Vienna's over the top gasps to Audrey in a cocktail dress sitting in James' lap caressing him. There's just too much unintentional humor here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted August 20, 2009 Members Share Posted August 20, 2009 Agreed. The Paul/Em/Babs stuff is at least interesting. Rooted in history. The other half of the story, with GASPing Henry and V, and sex-kittenish Lynn Herring....sucks. Other than the way James grabbed her, and wouldn't let go, the scenes between Lynn H and Anthony Herrera were flat, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
