LOL....today seemed mostly like treading water...but tomorrow looks fanfrakkin'tastic!!

Nuke---no comment.

Lily et al---I almost managed to cheer Holden on...until the obligatory "if he hurts you, Lily, he'll answer to me" crap. GMAFB...Holden's the most p-whipped man on the planet. He keeps seeing these moments between Lily and Damian, keeps hearing her doubletalk him and refuse to take responaibility for her actions or see how HER indecision ruined her marriage long before he even was thought to be dead, and knowing all that, telling her EXACTLY what the problem IS---that she's a weak-willed, faithless WIMP who keeps flitting from man to man to "rescue her" anytime she has a hangnail---it's clear he'll absolve her of ALL blame the minute he finds out she was lied to by Damian.

I've decided I like Meggie squeezing Damian's nuts in a vise. It's campy, but it's better than anything MWil's done as a "good girl" to Paul's "bad boy".

And of course...I'm grateful this piss-poorly kept "secret" is hitting the fan. I swear, if Carly spent one more minute ignoring the two worst poker-faces in Oakdale, I was gonna hurl something through the television. I hope she rains down sh*t on both their asses.

I'm still watching today's show.

Seriously there is no story here. All Luke has to do is stand by his man like Tammy.....LMAO!

Eh...Holden's speech about not being the same fan in the barnyard was pure hogwash!

I'd love to squeeze Damian's nuts too....lol....Meg is definetly more interesting as a b i t c h.

Thank Gawd!...lol

I've just caught up on T-Th. Nice to see the Carly we know and love back! Carly storming in -- awesome! Paolo looks better than ever. I do love the Meg twist -- MW as a witch is fantastic. Plus I think MW & PS are a steaming couple. This could be fun. I just hope that the ratings go up this month. Fingers crossed.

I could just set Rosanna and Craig on fire and roll them down a steep f***ing hill for what they're doing to Carly. I hate the two of them together. This entire episode just gave me an eerie feeling of discomfort watching them *kanoodle* while Carly is totally clueless. Further, am *not* looking forward to what appears to be a carjack redux... :wacko: But MAN whatever--I am just happy to have some Carly Tenney back on my screen!

Mason vs Luke = intrigue! Their little *tiff* made me excited that someone is letting Luke know what time it is! I really fail to see what is so fascinating about Noah, but...I mean, I guess he could appeal to a *college professor.* I am also somewhat intrigued by this evil, shrewish Meg--but she's still fairly selfish and stupid, as usual. Only this time she's evil, pathetic, selfish, and stupid. So I see we're talking about Paolo shirtless...makes me wonder where Hunter is? I'd like a bit of eye candy to go with my coffee as well.

Actually was Carly totally clueless? The fact she abruptly barged back into the room angry as hell made me wonder if she knew the truth the entire time and was just in denial til the moment.

And why does Nuke Nation still even exist? Luke needs to find a new man in my opinion...

Any way you cut it, I was annoyed Carly was as clueless as she was for as long as she was (and it was less than an Oakdale day...LOL) I mean, Craig and Ro both looked like they were sucking lemons from the first minute they saw her. I mean, c'mon...Craig can barely touch her, never initiated a kiss, she finds a sexy nightie in her room and Ro stays out all night? Not to mention the strange conversation between Parker, Craig and Ro.

I always like to think my Carly's smarter than that. ;)

Sigh....too little Ben....WAY too much Janet. *eyeroll* Let's see...so, Jan's a whiney pathetic shell who's too torn up about losing "first love" Brad to make sure her husband Jack is okay, show any sympathy for her sister who was held at gunpoint by her "beloved" uncle, or feel any compassion for a dumped and freshly rehabbed Carly? NICE. Self-involved much?

Wow...ATWT is pulling out all the stops. Using Springsteen's "Philadelphia" must have cost a pretty penny.

I found the dialogue a little wanting in the Philly stuff, at least with BenFranklinwannabe....but DAYUM...Peter Parros is one fine lookin' hunk of man. And I appreciated the Ben/Jack scenes very much.

Welcome back Carly!! That's the tough, acid-tongued girl I can cheer for. "I gave up vodka, Craig, not my brain!" PRICELESS!! Sigh...utterly thrilled Carly gave it to them both right between the eyes. I always wish fights were bigger, or more nasty, but I got a feeling this feud is just beginning....:D

New poster :)

I see the show is already doing some rewrites. When did Janet know that Uncle Ralph was a "evil"? Wasn't she the one fawning all over him and using his influence to bully PEM over Lib's baby?? Now she acts like she knew along he was "evil" and capable of kidnapping and murder. If that is the case, what does that say about her? Teri gets on my last nerve but even she didn't deserve being blame for Ralph coming into town and ruining everyone's life.

I know JP/Janet said that tiic are pretty much giving her free reign over Janet's character, but she needs to reign it in a bit. So has quickly taken over the crown as Oakdale's Biggest Bitch in no time flat and that is not a good thing.

I like Dusty but what purpose does he serve?? I much rather him hanging out with Bonnie than wandering around town saving young chicks and dispensing advice like "Dr. Phil".

Carly was totally one fire today. Craig and Ro's sexual chemistry still remains zero. Carly should cut her losses and let these two bore each other to death.

Good to see Dr. Ben! However, Ben always hated Brad because of Camile, so it was a bit weird to see him act like he and Brad were friends.

*waves to new poster!*

Yeah...it was a lot weird of Ben to act like he and Bradley were best buds, trading stories while having fortuitously met in Philly sometime between Ben's Oakdale departure and Brad's arrival. It wasn't until I'd tried to recall any Oakdale Ben/Brad stuff that I remembered the Camille angle. But at least Jack remembered Ben used to be a neurosurgeon.

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
    • GH 1976 Pt 8 Heather takes advantage of the situation by asking Jeff to come and look at Tommy. She uses sympathy, compassion, and her own feminine wiles, together with his misery and his pills, to lure him into bed. Later, sober, he apologizes. Learning from Pearson that Monica has seen a divorce lawyer, Jeff confronts her, and she insists it’s a lie. Avoiding his attempts to kiss her, she musses her hair and tears her blouse, then rushes to Rick’s, claiming that she can’t stay with that maniac any longer. They wind up in Rick’s bed, and after making love he confesses he always loved her. Rick replies to her question of whether he wants to marry her by saying he has to talk to Jeff. Monica insists that Jeff not bear any pressure from their problems. As she leaves, Rick gives her a key to his apartment. Jeff, having spent the night drinking, misses his surgical assignment, and Steve, informing him that his personal life can’t interfere with his profession, puts him on suspension. Rick can’t persuade Steve to reverse his decision, but Mark, sensing what’s at the heart of Jeff’s problem, convinces Steve to lift Jeff’s suspension and transfer him to Mark’s service. Rick asks for his key back, telling Monica they can’t do anything as long as she’s under Jeff’s roof. So she has a duplicate made and moves into intern’s quarters, explaining that Jeff’s violence drove her out. She tells Jeff she needs privacy to work things out, and tells Rick Jeff wanted her out. Thinking that this is the preliminary to a divorce, Rick tells her she can come to his place. In New York, Leslie’s abortion is delayed by a mix-up in scheduling, and she calls Terri to commiserate. Rick overhears Terri’s conversation and forces the whole story from her. He flies to New York to stop Leslie, feeling responsible for pointing out how evil Cam was, and arrives to find that she has decided she can’t deny her child the right to live. Monica, meanwhile, expecting that Rick will be home, uses her key to let herself into his apartment and is shocked to find Mark there; knowing that Mark was uncomfortable at the hotel, Rick offered Mark use of the apartment in his absence. Monica is upset to learn that Rick is in New York with Leslie, and Mark doesn’t know why. Mark does advise Monica to play fair with Jeff, but she resents his interference. The next day, while covering for Leslie at the clinic, Monica discovers Leslie’s lab test report and jumps to the conclusion that the baby is Rick’s. When Rick and Leslie return, Monica wastes no time in accusing him. He is dismayed to see that she is still as suspicious and possessive as she was before he went to Africa, and points out that her making a duplicate  key proves she hasn’t changed. Terri encourages Leslie to see Rick in a romantic light and then suggests to Rick that Leslie is interested in him. Rick likes this idea and tells Mark he’s growing ‘unwilling to cope with Monica’s unreasonable demands. But Monica immediately recognizes the threat Leslie represents and decides to attack. She goes to Leslie and tells her flatly that she and Rick are having an affair and he’s her exclusive property. Leslie, who realizes she has been falling in love with Rick, is hurt, and Rick is mystified when he feels Leslie pulling away from him. Monica’s big moment comes when she brings Rick a housewarming gift and seduces him into letting her stay overnight. She is in the bedroom when Leslie stops by to apologize for refusing his dates, and makes a dramatic entrance into the living room draped in Rick’s bathrobe. Leslie turns and runs out. Rick later informs her he’s disappointed in her, because she prejudged Monica and him rather than giving him the benefit of the doubt. Heather tries to arrange another tryst with Jeff, but he replies that he still loves his wife. Heather decides there’s only one way to get Jeff to be pregnant with his child. She manages to overhear Monica putting Jeff down by telling him he no longer turns her on and should look for someone he does. Heather goes to Jeff and tells him that she heard Monica and that she is the one he’s looking for. She manages to get him into bed again, and sweetly assures him this is right. She then sets the stage for future meetings. Steve, meanwhile, offers to help Monica and Jeff work out their problems. Jeff is willing, but Monica turns the idea down. Instead, she presses Terri to convince Jeff to end the marriage. Terri now knows that Monica isn’t a good wife for Jeff and promises to try. But Jeff makes it clear to Monica that he still loves her and won’t let her go. She is bitter and upset, as she has already implied to Rick that she will soon be free. Audrey is upset to find that Florence Andrews has been inquiring about Tommy and herself. She goes to Florence’s home and finds she’s away now. Florence has gone down to Mexico to sign a sworn statement that she purchased a false death certificate for Tom, to protect his son after his wrongful conviction. Tom, learning from her that Steve and Audrey are to be married and Steve is planning to adopt Tommy, tells  Florence not to do anything, as there’s still no assurance that he’ll ever get out. But the judge does accept the statement, and, ironically, on the day that Steve  and Audrey are married, Tom is released from prison.
    • 1976 Pt 12 Final part Laurie agrees with Stuart that Peggy is rushing into marriage to prove that the rape didn’t ruin her life.  She points out that the only way Peg can be sure is to make love with Jack before the wedding. Stuart admits she’s right but points out that he can’t suggest that to Peggy. As the wedding approaches, Peg seems happy that Jack’s become close to the family. However, her happiness is shattered by a nightmare in which her loving bridegroom turns into a leering Ron Becker, forcing her to cancel the wedding. Jack reassures her he’ll wait as long as it takes, and Chris confides that she and Snapper didn’t consummate their marriage on their wedding night because of her own rape experience, but Peggy tells Chris she might never be ready.  Despite her desire to keep Karen as her own daughter, Chris helps a police artist create a sketch of Nancy so it can be printed in the newspaper as part of a search for her. When the attempt proves fruitless, however, Chris asks Greg to file application for permanent custody of the child. Greg points out that adoption is the only way to prevent Ron from returning and claiming the child, and that it will take quite a while. Meanwhile, a nurse in the psychiatric ward sees a resemblance  between the newspaper drawing and her autistic patient, Mrs. Jackson, but since “Fran” doesn’t respond to the name Nancy and no one else sees the similarity, she fears she’s mistaken. Jill is horrified to overhear Kay, when brihging baby Phillip a Christmas gift, telling the child she remembers the night he was conceived. Kay has to then admit to Jill she saw her with Phillip in the bunkhouse that night. Jill is aghast to realize that Kay new the truth all along and put her through such agony in spite of it, denying her baby his father’s name. Lance tells Laurie they’ll marry on Valentine’s Day. He laughs that it’s corny but agrees, secretly wishing it were sooner, as Vanessa has vowed to prevent it. Indeed, Vanessa makes an unprecedented venture out of the house to visit Brad, telling him to rebuff any advance Leslie might make to him, as she’s reaching out to him only from a sense of duty. But Laurie then makes a concerted effort to reach Vanessa. Without being sure why she’s trying so hard, she tries to assure the woman she’s not losing Lance and she, Laurie, will help her find a plastic surgeon somewhere who can help her. Grudgingly, Vanessa seems to be reconsidering her view of Laurie, and Laurie is delighted when Lance offers her a choice between two diamond necklaces, explaining that her preference will be Vanessa’s Christmas gift. Learning from Les about Brad’s blindness, Stuart tells Brad he could have turned Leslie away only out of great love. Knowing that Les is going to see Brad again, Laurie warns him not to bring the baby into their discussion, as Leslie will come back only she’s convinced he loves her, not for the babies sake. Leslie finds Brad disheveled and sloppy, and proceeds to straighten the apartment, stating that she can't respect him if he lets himself go. Realizing that neither Brad nor Les will make the first move, Laurie hurries things along by refusing to help Brad with his grooming, saying he should ask his wife. Then, having learned  that Brad offered Les the use of their piano, Laurie untunes the Brooks' piano forcing Leslie to accept his offer. By refusing to cater to his  blindness, Les manages to get Brad to stop wallowing in pity, and by the time Leslie’s Christmas braille message of her love and her need for him arrives, they are husband and wife again Lance takes Laurie on a business trip on New Year's Eve, and tells her, on board his plane, she won't be  won't be able to call him “Mr. All Talk and No action” after tonight. When Laurie protests that waited this long and will continue to wait until married, Lance delights her by instructing his pilot to land in Las Vegas, where they are married immediately.
    • Yeah, not sure why Jack and Jen didn’t rush to Marlena - or even Carrie - to offer their condolences. A few flashbacks would've been a nice touch too. Instead, we got a whole episode of them talking about Chad and Abby? Come on. On the bright side, I loved Anna’s scenes with Marlena and Carrie - sweet and heartfelt, felt like a real 80s throwback.
