OH...how I hope Molly gives Ro a GOOD piece of crap for shagging Craig. Carly and Moll were always great when they were commiserating over their love lives--even when they were a little too preoccupied to listen to what the other was saying. I hope TIIC continue to show them, and not abandon that relationship as Moll sluts it up all over Oakdale.

LOL...no, I wouldn't rather have Tom yell. I guess I'm surprised he's able to dial his performance down, while some other "Gifts To the World of Acting" can't. ;)

It seemed like Molly forgot about Jake after she met Mike, so I'm not too surprised she doesn't remember him.

Molly was such a self-destructive character.

I haven't seen her return yet, but I'm looking forward to it. To say I had mixed feelings about Molly is an understatement. She may be the most "mixed feelings" character on ATWT for me, especially early in her run. I did like her more later on. Then after Jake died I stopped caring again.

Poor Molly does have a permanent place in my memory for one of the most laughable history rewrites ever. "Dusty Donovan...you used to push me in the Snyder pond!!!" Yes, Dusty used to go to the Snyder farm and horse around with Molly...even though Lily was not involved with the Snyder family until some time after Molly became pregnant and was sent out of Oakdale.

Ugh..I know what you mean about Molly. By the time LK left, I was glad to see her go. Her only purpose seemed to be flucking every guy in town like the Welcome Wagon. And showing off her ta-tas at the drop of a hat.

But since being subjected to dull, whiney characters like Janet...I'll welcome Moll back with open arms.

I still remember when Molly first met Rosanna(Yvonne Perry). Rosanna came to see Carly about her pregnancy and wearing some very plain clothing and Molly was "Um, wait aren't you supposed to be my rich cousin?" It was hilarious and I loved seeing Rosanna be insulted back then.

Thank God he's toned it down..... *sigh* Although, he was kinda creepin me out today. And wtf was with the nosebleed? I'm guessing the miracle drug is going to make people's brains start dripping down through their nostrils or something... *cringe at the thought of JP telling DK that she'll write this story solo*

Amen!!!!! THAT is the Molly I remember. She had dignity and class about her. My hope for the return of old Molly, instead of slutwhore-Before-LK's-Exit Molly, were severely diminsihed by today's scenes.

I'm not seeing what's so unbelievable about that.... :huh: Molly was an off-screen character during Holden and Dusty's early teen years. When Lily came around, Molly was long gone (presumably moved away after getting knocked up by Holden). It wasn't until years later, when Lily was arrested, that she met Molly in prison.

Today was pretty boring.

The Ali/Casey/Maddie/Hunter quadrangle is getting old....real fast. Mostly, for me, because I don't like any of the couples....Ali/Casey, Maddie/Casey, Hunter/Maddie, etc. None of them have chemistry. I was surprised to hear Maddie bring up Casey's online gambling; I had forgotten about that travesty of a storyline.

Mick just creeps me out. The fact that he knows so much about Barbara doesn't throw up a red flag to these people?? :blink: Speaking of tone-downs, Roger Howarth looks like he's ready to flinch some facial muscles and scream and twist his neck in peculiar ways. I find myself slowly liking this new non-microchip Paul.

The whole "sting op", as Jack called it, was ridiculous. That congressman's a buffoon if he didn't see that set-up. It was all soooo ridiculous. The Molly/Carly reunion was nice; makes me miss the old days when Carly had a boy haircut and Molly was just looking for the father (who we now know, duh, was/is Holden) of the daughter she gave up for adoption.

Dusty, my BFF, the reason the Dusty/Molly/Holden rewrite was so jarring is this: Dusty was a character on the show long before Holden came on. WE saw him as a teen, and he wasn't hanging around with Holden in Luther's Corners skinny dipping with Molly in the Snyder Pond. (He was getting kidnapped by James and had more parents than Parker--which is saying something) The way Molly made it sound, Dusty and Holden knew each other before either met Lily---which just wasn't true. (This is also why the Margo/Dusty scenes bother me, 'cause she knew him as a kid (back when Margo was a horse-trainer and flucking James) and they NEVER act like they met before McCouch was cast in the role)

IA---Casey/Maddie/Ali/Hunter is ridiculous. And it's too bad, 'cause I like Maddie a whole lot more than I like Ali, and she's going to get stomped on again for the boring Casey/Ali train.

LOL...I lived the history---I know you were like an embryo. IMO, it would have just been fine if Molly had been Holden's girlfriend before we met him. It was the part where Dusty and Molly had known each other that chafed. It's not like Molly had to know a guy more than five minutes before she'd have slept with him anyway. :lol:

Yes, it was the WTF nature of the rewrite that bothered me, and that the people in charge of the show were practically thumbing their noses at history. To this day I don't know why they needed to bring GM in as Dusty. He could have been a brand new character. I felt like they just wanted to say, "This is our show, it never really existed before us."

As for Molly, I actually liked her best when she was with Jake, but a big part of her character was always screwed-up, self-destructive, sluttish. I'm sorry she hasn't gotten her life together in her years out of town but I'm not exactly surprised.

I wish they could bring back Andy and have them interact again. Before they trashed the relationship for Reid/David, I thought Andy and Molly were good together.

Today's show was actually somewhat interesting. I'm liking that Damian isn't being painted as being completely evil. Dude has doubts....but why, oh, why is he letting Meg actually get to him??? Doesn't Damian have mafia connections? He should have taken Meg down a looong time ago.

Gah...Holden is back to his sanctimonious self. I'm reminded now why I've never really liked him.

Double gah...can Lily make up her frickin' mind already? Seriously, I don't get what she really wants, because she changes face every few episodes!

Brad as a ghost is just dumb. I'm just ready for him to go away.

    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jodie stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
    • Dr Linden. She treated Vanessa's drug addiction (although Vanessa seemed to forget that by Henry's suicide attempt) , and she's mentioned during Reva's PPD. Although I can't recall if she's actually shown right off the top of my head. She probably was temporarily shelved when Sonni was a therapist (between her crazy times) And I think Billy sees her after he falls off the wagon after Reva's death.
    • Kinda agree. I have some issues with the sets. Nicole's living room is bland-looks like a display home. Bill and Hayley's is too small and basically hideous. And neither of them have a front door/entrance or staircase. People just appear from the corridor. Those green accents  at Uptown are way too much. Also,Naomi and Vanessa not having an office or a home .
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That Grainger story always reads like hog-wild melodrama, not very similar to the more subtle stories for Rita in her last few years. I wonder how Lenore played the material.
    • More from 1976 Lynn, apparently making every effort to overcome her alcoholism, accepts a baby-sitting job. However, when the baby starts crying, Lynn begins to get nervous and takes one drink, then another. By the time Bruce and Van arrive home, Lynn is on the floor, ineffectually trying to find the doctor’s number, sure the baby is ill. When the mother arrives; she vows to let everyone know what goes on in the mayor’s house.Bruce insists that Lynn has to go, but Van, learning that Lynn can’t remember drinking the cooking sherry, calls Joe to report Lynn’s blackouts. Joe wants her institutionalized but gives in to Van’ s pleas that Lynn needs loving attention. Eddie has sent some of Felicia’s work to a New |York gallery owner and reports to Charles that Lisa Cooper wants to exhibit Felicia’s work. Charles refuses to tell her this and later admits he feels he has “cowed”her attention because of his being confined to a wheelchair. What Charles doesn’t say is: that he’s plagued with fears she’ll leave him for another man. Felicia is exuberant as she starts painting again. She tells Charles how she feels about it, but, jealous of anyone or anything that takes attention from him, Charles tries to undermine her confidence. Eddie finally professes his love for her. He will be happy to step forward if she will only let Be and admit that they belong together. Charles tries to stop Felicia’s ‘trip to New York by making her doubt her own work, and when that fails, he finds business reasons at his bookshop to keep Di, his ex-wife, who is running it for him, from accompanying her. Felicia finally decides it’s not going to work and tells Eddie they might as well call it off. Instead, he arranges for Lisa Cooper to come to Rosehill. Charles is rude and insulting to Lisa when she arrives at the house to view Felicia’s work, and his derogatory remarks about shady gallery dealings prompt Lisa to tell Eddie that living in such an atmosphere could permanently stunt an artist’s development; if Felicia is subjected to this indefinitely, it’s not even worth Lisa’s while to take her on as a client. Felicia finally decides she can’t be torn apart any longer and must accede to Charles’s demands. She tells Eddie her career is over and she won’t paint any more, breaks down in his arms, crying bitterly, then pulls away, unwilling to acknowledge that her feelings for him are deeper than she dare face. Charles is delighted when she prepares to dispose of her art supplies, insisting everything will be fine once she has accepted that this part of her life is over. But she cannot do it. She promises him that he can set the limits and terms, but she must paint. Arlene discovers that her mother is planning to avoid the surgery she needs, and the accompanying medical bills, by leaving Rosehill and moving in with her sister Dorothy out west. Arlene manages to prevent this by calling her aunt and telling her the truth about Carrie’s condition. Dr. Tom Crawford has been footing the costs of Carrie’s presurgery tests, but Arlene knows that Carrie won’t like this. So she tells Carrie that David Hart, the son of Meg’s late husband, the former mayor, has heard about their plight and forwarded the money as a gesture of friendship, to be repaid when possible. To convince Carrie that she does indeed have the money, Arlene asks Ray to just lend it to her for a few hours, so she can convince Carrie and then immediately return it. Ray instructs her to get dressed for a night on the town and takes her, out implying that the money will be waiting at the end of the evening. When Ian Russell happens to join them, Arlene doesn’t suspect anything is afoot, but when e Ray suddenly leaves, she becomes furious, realizing what he’s done. But she finds Mr: Russell a distinguished and cultured man, and decides there’s no harm in having a drink. After cocktails and stimulating conversation, Ian suggests that they go to his place, and Arlene agrees. But when they get there, Ian matter of factly suggests that they skip the preliminaries and get on with it. Ian is embarrassed and annoyed to discover that Arlene is not a professional call girl and that Ray didn’t explain to her the purpose of their |meeting. He is apologetic and solicitous, until Arlene, explaining why Ray felt he could pull this on her, mentions her sick mother in need of an operation. Ian starts to laugh at this overworked standard line, and a livid Arlene storms out of his apartment. Thinking it over, Ian decides he’s more intrigued with Arlene than he is annoyed at Ray, and calls Ray for her telephone number. But Arlene is not delighted to hear from him, and he has to use a good deal of soothing charm before she agrees to have dinner with him at one of the better local restaurants.During dinner Ian again apologizes for his mistake, and he gives Arlene a diamond pendant as a token of his gratitude for her forgiving him. Ray arrives to interrupt an otherwise enjoyable evening with a business matter, and quietly reminds Arlene that Ian is his customer and she’s not to cut herself in with him. At home, Arlene examines the pendant and is convinced that it’s genuine. She hides it in her dresser drawer, unable to bring herself to show it to her mother.
    • LOL!! That's funny.  I actually thought he got a little better.

    • Oh God, she's back? I thought those first scenes were well-intentioned but hysterical.
