Members P.J. Posted October 26, 2009 Members Share Posted October 26, 2009 I understand about Jack's reaction---but he's a cop. You wouldn't expect him to screech out in horror a split second after seeing Brad's face. Re: Pissy/"transformations" of characters---IMO, it's called fitting a character into a plot. Alison is an extreme example, but the ex-porn star is now practically a prude when it comes to sex. Why? Because it's a lame way to create drama for the character. Don't even get me started on the rewrites of Craig---they still drive me nuts. Although I get a kick out of this Spade and Neutered version at times.

Members JellicleCat Posted October 26, 2009 Members Share Posted October 26, 2009 I actually think that Alison's attitude towards sex is quite understandable considering her past. I see that as one of the more believable changes that a character has gone through on this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted October 26, 2009 Members Share Posted October 26, 2009 I must really hate Janet---even her prayer to the Blessed Mother annoyed the living crap out of me. Otherwise, I thought today was a solid episode. The re-staging of the shooting annoyed me a little, but there was an ever growing sense of doom throughout the episode. Henry and Maddie finally got a scene together. Poor Jack---slowly starting to lose it as Brad's condition hits him and he felt his own guilt mounting. And I appreciated the tension between Casey and Margo. He takes her distraction personally, when it's probably all due to her focus on the case. Sigh...the one nitpick I really had was how good Peck looked while Brad's dying...geez, all he has to do is lie there looking pale, and he manages to screw that up.

Members Soapsuds Posted October 26, 2009 Members Share Posted October 26, 2009 I found Janet praying a bit funny. I also didnt care for the re-staging of the shooting. I liked seeing Henry and Maddie too and I cant wait for Jack to start unraveling. I noticed the tension between Margo and Casey. I miss Adam. Brad looked like he was sleeping. Tomorrow's show should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 I found Jan's flyin' boobs funny. They looked like two hippety-hops under her shirt. I wish they'd have staged the shooting that way on Friday. I really don't understand how/why that either slips by continuity or gets redone when "the budget" is so tight.

Members Soapsuds Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 If they were going to show the shooting again I wish it had been the same as Friday. Jennifer Pepperman was today's director. I thought Habib Azar directing for the shooting was better than her direction today. Although I usually prefer Pepperman's direction over Azar's. There really wasnt no need to redo the shooting. But this reminds me of the good old days when ATWT would reshow/reshoot the cliffhanger from Friday all over again.

Members jcar03 Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 This Week on As the WORD turns: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6adj6KsLHcY Seriously they spelled WORLD wrong in the promo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 OMG how embarassing! These last few eps have been good can't wait to see what's in store for the rest of the week. By the way has Maddie even interacted with Henry or Audrey since her return? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Actor87 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 LMFAO!!!!!! at the mis-spelling in the promo. I didn't watch today, but I am definitely going to be tuning in more. These next few weeks are going to be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 Maddie's had like one scene with Audrey, and none with Henry to my recollection before yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Quent Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 Okay, I have to admit that I was grabbing the Kleenex today (and I didn't even like the Brad character!). Terri and Michael were phenomenal, with Trent close behind. I can't wait until Katie realizes her last husband killed her current husband. An A++++ show.

Members P.J. Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 I don't exactly know why, but people are suckers for death scenes. I thought today was stellar. Bob and Kim added the perfect touch to the situation---Bob thanking Henry for the hug after Brad awoke was priceless. I could have done without Babs and Audrey, but only because I really think the entire eppy should have been about the Snyders family coming together in this crisis. Emma wringing her hands over Bradley would have had me in tears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 I really loved today's episode. Now THAT is what I'm talking about, Terri! I'd love for her to submit herself for Supporting Actress and I feel like she would take that award. And being honest, she's very much a supporting actress, especially this year. She kicked ass today as did everyone else. Julie Pinson and Michael Park are doing amazing work. I love that Bob and Kim were the vets chosen to be featured in this episode. I've always loved Kim's relationship with Brad and adding a couple vets adds texture to an episode. My only problem and we'll see in the coming days, is the lack of Katie's family. Right now Margo and Craig are on canvas, plus Casey, Tom, etc. But the show has always neglected Katie's family ties. If I didn't know better I'd think she was a retconned legacy child or just a stand alone character. We know that this is going to be all about Jack, but Katie deserves better. I want Craig and Margo focused on Katie. I want Cricket at least mentioned. Lyla should DEFINITELY be there and will be the glaring absence in this story. This is Katie's biggest drama, plus she had her first child. Wouldn't Lyla want to be there for that? Now normally we could argue they have little money, but for Jack's part of the story you have four or five people coming back. Not to mention most of his family around on the show. That's poor money management and one-sided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 Just a wow show especially the ending. I was in tears too and can't stand Brad or Katie...LOL. The ending really killed me. I loved that Audrey and Barbara were included in this eppy. I lobster loved the Margo and Barbara scenes at the police station. It was awesome seeing Bob and Kim included too. Of course this story is about Jack and part of it should be. I guess Ive seen so much of Katie the last couple of years that her not being central of the show doesnt bother me like it does you Chris. But I agree Lyla needs to be back for the funeral. I have a feeling they are going to say they couldnt find her. Great acting by everyone involved in today's eppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 Well, I think Katie's going to get plenty of story centered on her...but like Chris, I doubt it'll be about her family focusing on her, and it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
