Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted March 21, 2011 Members Share Posted March 21, 2011 When Lucky broke down and said "I cannot go in there and see my son like that" I started crying. That was freaking depressing. JJ brought it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted March 21, 2011 Members Share Posted March 21, 2011 Geez what's the rush? The Balkan storyline has drug on for a long time, yet the kid gets hit by a car storyline barely lasted two days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Angela Posted March 21, 2011 Members Share Posted March 21, 2011 I wasn't feeling it today. I felt it on Friday but not today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted March 21, 2011 Members Share Posted March 21, 2011 I'm not so sure that large numbers of children are needed. Ryan's Hope had something like 4 children in it's run. Now, when the average woman has 2, soap characters are still having 4. I really think soap children should be few and far between and seen and not heard. Carly was completely ruined by having all these kids. It's insane. I think JJ is doing a great job. The rest are passable. Umm, I don't find that believable at all. Last I checked Sam f*cked her step dad and stood by while Jason's baby was kidnapped. If that's positive, I'd hate to see what negative writing entails.

Members remos Posted March 21, 2011 Members Share Posted March 21, 2011 I had the opposite response. Friday I wasn't feeling it but today JJ made me cry. And Carly - I know she's going to be blasted but she did that with as much grace as the situation allowed. I think all of them were totally in character and doing what needed to be done. Love how the Spencers were all there for each other and it was agreed that Edward didn't need to know. As for the comparison with the Balkan story - I think it's about one being well thought out and the other being a hot mess of "fixes" as it went along. Obviously this story has been well drawn with top players all the way. The Balkan story didn't have the weight of history or well drawn characters. Comparing the two, the Balkan was obviously stuffed with filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted March 21, 2011 Members Share Posted March 21, 2011 LOL! I had that the same thought. No doubt that Kelly is a Frons favorite, but all this talk about her getting positive writing has no basis in reality. On top of that, Sam is nothing, but an appendage to Jason. IMO, Sam was only interesting when she was apart from Jason and involved with Lucky in a more balanced relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted March 21, 2011 Members Share Posted March 21, 2011 I agree and that time sure didn't last long. It's like it never happened now. Plus, Sam is just a jason appendage, but she wasn't worthy to be the mother of his child. They brought Liz in to do that. I don't think it went they way they hoped for whatever reasons, but during that period of time, that was the decision. I have a hard time believing that was supposed to be positive for Sam and negative for Liz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted March 21, 2011 Members Share Posted March 21, 2011 JJ was the best of them all today. The scene at the door was good but I just wish he hasn't been teary every day for six months so it would have had more impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted March 21, 2011 Members Share Posted March 21, 2011 True. I also think Steve was better today than he usually is. I also liked the scenes between Liz and Steve. I buy them as brother and sister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted March 21, 2011 Members Share Posted March 21, 2011 Watching them I was struck how one is so pale and the other is so...not. I found it all very rushed. I don't remember exactly, but it seems to me Maxie was dying for weeks which allowed Mac to search for Frisco. The whole Josslyn part was as if written by Evelyn Wood.

Members Cheap21 Posted March 21, 2011 Members Share Posted March 21, 2011 JJ did good but I wish Greg Vaughan was in the role playing these scenes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OLTL_fan Posted March 21, 2011 Members Share Posted March 21, 2011 Becky Herbst was fantastic. Her reaction made me cry and I rarely cry while watching soaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted March 21, 2011 Members Share Posted March 21, 2011 Gotta love how Jason gets the flashback of a kid he barely knew but Liz & Lucky get nothing. Heck Liz was basically a dayplayer today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dion Posted March 21, 2011 Members Share Posted March 21, 2011 you are absolutely right. I checked it out myself...Maxie first fell ill on Feb 14, 1994, was ill on and off (conjunctivitis and fevers) before finally diagnosed with Kawasaki Syndrome on March 10. Maxie was then treated for the Kawasaki syndrome and it wasn't until April 22 that they found out she had heart failure. Mac went off to find Frisco during the first few weeks of May and BJ's accident took place on May 13, with the resulting transplant drama playing out over the following week (May 16 - 20).
