Of course you have to stall - it's soap writing tactic. You have to build up to him telling Sami and then Rafe finding out. I don't remember the 1993 storyline but I think Sami didn't tell Marlena right away either.

More like you have to stall to make sure it's perfectly timed with Sweeps because heaven forbid regular viewers get rewarded regularly.

The other annoying thing is that this is just a redo of the horrible Carrie/Mike storyline of the 90s.

I much preferred Carrie with Mike than with Austin actually. They seemed better suited for each other and on top of that Christie Clark and Roark Critchlow had great chemistry.

Please tell me that's a sick joke. You realize Carrie belongs with Austin right? Just like Bo belongs with Hope, John belongs with Marlena, Patch with Kayla, etc., etc.

I'm not sure why MarDar seems to be targeting the Aurrie fans, but they are. Carrie and Austin haven't had any happiness or any romantic moments since they returned. I can only assume we did something to piss off the headwriters. If they keep up with this Rafe nonsense, I'll have no choice but to stop watching again. I came back to Days because they finally brought back Carrie and Austin, but I'm no masochist. I won't sit around torturing myself watching them hook up with other people.

Um, no its not a joke and there is def nothing sick about it even if it was.

Ah yes, Carrie belongs with Austin, just like john/mar, bo/hope, etc.. get them off my screen then. I dont want predictable and boring. Been there, done that.

Carrie and Austin still have that "it" factor that makes them such a great couple. They are one of the lucky supercouples where the magic was maintained with two different Austins.

IDA. I find them incredibly boring. Im more intrigued by Abigail's infatuation with him than he with Carrie. I also DA on Mike. To me, Mike was the last time Carrie was truly great. I thought they made a great couple and better than Carrie/Austin post PM's original run

Carrie and Austin seem "boring" because they haven't gotten any good material since returning. They have had NO romantic moments...nothing! These writers are clearly on a mission to destroy Aurrie and pimp out this sickening pairing with

Now that is not true and as a Austin/Carrie fan you should know that. What about all the bedroom scenes we've gotten? Everytime they fight, there tends to be follow up with them maknig up and that stuff is romantic. A/C are just dull these days. The writing doesnt help but the characters themselves just dont have the magic they did 20 years ago. I dont care for Bo/Hope either but the chemistry between PR and KA still shines and they can transcend awful writing (and lord knows they havent had interesting story in a while). The same cant be said for CC/PM and the A/C redux. I guess at least they havent reached Jack/Jenn levels where Im screaming for the writers to let the dead horse die

That Kelly Moneymaker one-two shot today was TOO DAMN MUCH. I was hiding my face and giggling while she was wailing, "Can you feeeeel the heeeeeeat????"

Good Will/Sonny/Jai Rodriguez stuff today, though! I really enjoyed those scenes. Freddie Smith does really well with the casual, jokey stuff with friends and family.

And also "Hiding in the shadowwwwwwssss" Those songs were HILARIOUS!

And I loved those scenes too...very natural & well-played by all the actors. That Will/Justin scene was fantastic too.

Rafe & Carrie are so good, and i am shocked. CC & GG just work well off each other.

I have serious HATE for both of their characters but I just love them when together the office scenes were HOT. Damn DAYS picked some raunchy shots of CC/Carrie. LOL ;-)

If they want Carrie/Rafe so bad, then recast Carrie with McKenzie Westmore.

There is no chemistry between Christie and Galen---the only chemistry is between Christie and Patrick. It's a shame these writers don't realize the goldmine they have in Carrie and Austin. I'm not sure why they are intent on alienating and pissing off the Aurrie fanbase, but it's working. I won't watch a soap where my favourite couple is torn apart. Just not worth it.

The other annoying thing is that this is just a redo of the horrible Carrie/Mike storyline of the 90s. If Carrie cheats on Austin AGAIN, it will destroy the integrity of her character. Who wants to root for a serial adulterer? Not pleased with this story at all. I love Aurrie, but I would rather have had them happy off-screen than miserable on-screen.

Sorry but no.

So you'd rather spit on the show's history by breaking up popular couples? No thanks! I want to see the couples I love together, happy and in well-written, exciting stories. We were deprived of Carrie/Austin happiness for five years, and now the new writers are failing to give us happy moments.

The idea of Carrie and Rafe hooking up is indeed sick. It's a slap in the face to Carrie and Austin fans. Carrie and Austin are a supercouple. They don't deserve to be broken up.

No, THAT is not true. These writers are giving all the sexy/romantic moments to Carrie and Rafe instead of Carrie and her HUSBAND. Even though Christie and Patrick haven't worked together in 16 years, they still have that sweet chemistry that makes me smile and giddy whenever I see them onscreen together.

Not sure why people hate supercouples---Days is the supercouple soap! Rooting against supercouples is a losing battle.

Sorry but no.

Sorry but yes.

No they didn't. That was the story that turned Carrie into a slutty adulterer and basically made her unrootable. Christie is lucky in that she has had great chemistry with both Austins, which is why there is still a hardcore fanbase for Aurrie. Muldoon, Peck, doesn't matter---Carrie and Austin are fabulous no matter who's playing Austin.

Why do you find the presence of a Carrie and Austin fan so threatening? Is it because I like tradition and supercouples even though most of you have a radical, anti-traditionalist view of Days?

I'm getting flashbacks of a former poster who didn't understand differing opinions.

SIT DOWN! It is not all about you & the Carrie and Austin fans! It is not ALL about SUPERCOUPLES! GMAB!

Yup! And it's been taken care of now.

You rock. I hope you don't think all Carrie fans are like that. :cough:
