Sonny to T: I dont find you interesting enough to care what you are or who you are.....lol

T: I'm not gay...not even close.

Sonny: Imagine the shame and horror of being what like me

T: You asked me to a ball game

Love the writing...same thing happened to me about a month ago with a guy.

LoL...yeah....good show all around.

T: Why did you have pictures of us shirtless taken?

Sonny: You were the one who wanted to take them.....lol

Great script by Richard Culliton I've liked his scripts even when he was on ATWT.

I make fun of Carly for huffing and puffing all the damn, but I'll be damned if she wasn't AMAZING today. The shower scene was awesome and her confrontation with Jen was spectacular. The slap! Throwing the pills! All spectacular. I wish we'd gotten here earlier, but this was really good. Great job today, Crystal.

Also loved the rest of the show today. Victor standing up for Sonny was pretty awesome, I like it when Victor lays down the law in a good way and not in a "let's call everyone woman around me a slut" sort of way. The Nicole/Kate scenes were also great. I've really enjoyed the relationships between Nicole/Kate/Sami and how they've gone up and down over the years.

Edited to add, even Viv managed to be creepy forcing the water down Carly's throat. Even her in the goofy get up didn't bother me, it felt throwback Days having a villain dress up to do some mischief. Also, I'm glad Days delivered its trademark idiocy too -- the whole DR. FEELGOOD clip at the end was LOL for real.

:rolleyes:

Even though the character has never been explored he was always seen as a nice guy, now his sudden vapid hatred of gay people has came along. I didn't say he had to be all "OMFG your gay, I have always wanted a gay BFF". I just though the way he reacted was sort of out OOC but I know you will another smart ass comment, but its JMO.

I'm not the poster you were responding to, but I totally buy this turn for T. He's always sort of been a goober, and I can see this reaction coming from a place of insecurity. Honestly, if it were a dayplayer we hadn't met before, it'd be easier to write them off and be like, "Oh, whatever, a bigot." It's much more shocking when it's someone you (thought you) knew. Some of the dialogue was definitely OOC, but everything on this show is about as subtle as the time Shawn drove his car into Victor's living room, soooo... ;)

The Carly/Jen scenes were FANTASTIC. They were dirty and ugly and actually felt like something that might happen where a drug addict is concerned. There's been no appropriate build to this, and the story sucks, but the writing and the performers were both on today.

I loved the Sonny and Will stuff today. I liked how Sonny reacted to T, I liked Victor's speech to T, it didn't sound overly "PSA-y" to me, which was good. I loved Will's speech about being disappointed in thinking "Sonny didn't seem gay". When Sonny said the line about the terrible service & thinking it's the nepotism, Will gave Sonny this look, I couldn't help but crack up, LOL.

I think T's reaction is normal of what some straight high school/college guys would reaction upon learning a buddy of their's is gay. I don't think they are throwing T under the bus, yet.

OMG Tuesday's episode overall was fantastic! The Jenn/Carly scenes were bone chilling & very well done. What great performances by both Actresses. Seriously, all of it was outstanding. Anyone who hasn't seen those scenes should check them out!

Vivian & Gus rolleyes.gif Ugh that ending was so stupid! Can they just GO!

I loved Sonny's stern, yet calm reaction to T. He made all the right points and I'm actually glad T didn't budge right away. I hope he does eventually though because I don't want him to be phased out. The actor is soo good and has so much charisma!

Also loved Sonny going to Kinsey and telling her he still wanted to be friends! LOL! It was so funny how she was awkward around him at first.

Anyone notice how Will was acting in this episode.... ;)

Victor and Maggie were getting highly boring for me until this episode. I love them again! Finally some movement!

"Stupid and ignorant are two different things, but you managed to incorporate them both" LMAO! I loved that line. Im gonna have to use it.

Loved Kate and Nicole sipping martinis together! They work so well together. Kate: "Taylor was like an oppurtunistic infection" :lol:

Oh sh-t, I was shocked when Jenn slapped Carly! These scenes were so good. Hate Vivian. She could have killed Carly by making her overdose or choke while forcing that drink down her throat while unconcsious.

Victor was great and I like the Sonny story. It is a little PSAish at times, but I like this more than Nuke and Kish I think.

As for Kate, she sounded like an idiot today. Blaming Nicole for the whole mess and then closing her ears when someone brings up Stefano's role in it. And the whole bit about how Stefano didn't get a moment of sleep...why would Nicole care? Kate just sounded ridiculous.

    • To me, that made no difference. The point stands whether Eva wants to be a Dupree or not. Anita was 110% on top of things. Also it's a logical inference that Eva might be interested in having a place in her supposedly real family. Frankly though I wonder if Eva knows how to feel ... yet. She could really be confused.
    • Does Jack ever dress in drag during that early '00s period where he was trying to get Jennifer back...or does he just fake being gay around then?

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
