I guess I'll start the thread today. Today was okay IMO. The only stuff I like is Jen's storyline. The rest is just boring to me. Even Luke's storyline is getting old now.

--The stuff w/ Jen is really sad. I know that I'm going to be crying tomorrow, most likely. It was nice to see everyone at the hospital...even Dusty I suppose, though he still had his jerk moments. I didn't like how he was bullying Lucy, even though I understand why he'd be upset w/ her. I wonder if Lucy's going to lose her license or whatever she has. Dr. Bob looked really mad!!

--I'm not really digging the stuff w/ Maddie and Dallas. I hope they don't drag this thing out, but it looks like they're going to. Maddie breaking up w/ Casey was really weird.

--Damian is still acting like a creep.

--Nice to see Jessica and Margo again.

I cannot stand Dusty at this point. The way he was treating Paul yesterday was driving me nuts. Paul married Emily just to save his sorry ass and he still acts like a jerk whenever he gets the chance.

I really don't see why Lucy is being blamed for this. I don't see how she could have been any clearer with Jen about the risks of leaving. She isn't a prison warden, if Jen insisted on signing out against her doctor's advice, what was Lucy supposed to do handcuff her to the bed?

Jennifer basically sneered at her that she was going home and that she wasn't waiting around for any tests..If Dusty wants to blame anyone, he should take a hard look in the mirror...Any fool can tell when someone has a serious shortness of breath and be able to tell that something isn't quite right, regardless of the line they give you. Even when Meg explained that Jen wasn't supposed to leave the hospital, he scoffed and brushed it off. It wasn't until Jen collapsed and was taken back to the hospital did he "suddenly see the light" Lucy tried to explain to Jen many times her condition, but Jen blew it off, so determined to be with Johnny; even going as far as using that "Craig card" on Lucy as a way to get what she wanted.

Dusty is going to be on my [!@#$%^&*] list for a while; since he takes it upon himself to be God of all Oakdale.

Jen doesn't have anyone to blame but herself. And it's unfortunate that she'll probably die from her mistake, but that's how it is sometimes. As for Lucy, the only mistake she made was not informing Dr. Bob about Jen leaving b/c he told her to call him if something changed, and I'm sure that he would have been able to convince Jen to stay.

I only like this storyline b/c it will be good to see how Kim, Bob, Barbara, Hal (if he ever returns!), Will, and even Paul deal w/ what's happening to Jen. As for Dusty, he can go straight to hell.

Dusty makes me sick. Honestly, I don't give a damn about him and what's happening. He treats Meg and Paul like crap. I hated the way he just stood there when they offered to watch Johnny while he took Jen to the hospital. Hello, your fiancee is dying! The last thing you should be worried about are that Paul and Meg are watching her son. It's an emergency! Too bad he wasn't the one who contracted pneumonia b/c that would have been a death I would have enjoyed watching.

I just started watching ATWT around Sept 2005, so I'm still a newbie to it. I don't really want to get caught up posting in yet ANOTHER thread for another soap, but man, I TOTALLY agree with everything that's already posted here, so it's easy today. And Dusty. I hate that bastard with the intensity of a nuclear explosion. The Ms. Walsh signature works for me.

IMO Lucy should have NEVER told Jenn she could go home against doctor's advice, I think her saying that could get her into some hot water.

Yes, Lucy will be the one in hot water; Dusty will blame her; I'm sure Barbara will be all over her; as well as Paul.

Agreed that the only storyline that had me glued to the screen was the Jennifer one but I think it's ironic how she's going to end up dying like a martyr when it's due to her and Dusty's stupid mistakes that she'll die. Everyone has pretty much said what needed to be said about Dusty. The guy's a complete moron and I wish it was him who was dying instead.

The Casey & Maddie breakup scenes were pretty bad. It just felt totally contrived and badly acted.

I get that Damien's a badass but the way Holden talks down to people just annoys me for some reason.

I hate that bastard with the intensity of a nuclear explosion.

ITA! Dusty needs to die!

I don't see why Lucy should get in trouble for telling Jen she could sign out against Doctor's orders. Jen already said she was leaving no matter what. It sounded to me like she was leaving whether or not the rules allowed. I'm pretty sure most people already know that a hospital can't hold someone like a prisoner.

I have to jump on the Dusty hate bandwagon. He is so arrogant as if he's never made a mistake. He's actually

making me feel sympathetic to Emily and I never thought I'd feel that way again. I also love PEg, so I really wanted to smack him yesterday. Dusty has known Jen for a year. Paul has known her his whole life. If he wants to see her than Jen is the one who should make the call. Dusty knows that she only gave up Paul to make him happy.
