Featured Replies

Jennifer is slowly slipping away, and making sure that she has one last time to tell Dusty how she feels....what will she say to him? Will he honor her last wishes or will he soon forget once she is gone?

Margo is still trying to put the pieces together as to what might have happened to Maddie....

Emily has a great fear that she will soon be headed off to jail...will Jennifer make a last request that might save her?

:lol: LOL!! You sound like one of those daytime reporters that doesn't want to give away anything spoiler-wise.

Today's show was a definite tearjerker! Every single scene...every single actor/actress was amazing!

Kudos to both Jennifer's, Colleen, Grayson, Jesse....*tear in his eye* Ben. They all turned in amazing performnaces today!

I cried like a little baby all the way from the dancing until "On The Next ATWT"...Hey! Who said men can't cry?! I'm super-soft hearted to begin with. My emotions sometimes get the better of me.

Today was amazing. Everything about the episode was so sad! :( I even felt bad for Dusty...for once. His final scenes w/ Jen were heart breaking. For once, he wasn't acting like a jerk.

I loved the scenes between Hal and Barbara and Barbara and Gwen. Okay, so Gwen's back on my good list now.

And then when Jen actually died, I was in tears. :( And when Tom and Margo showed up, and then Casey went to see Gwen and Will. :( Even the PEM scenes had me in tears, when Meg told Paul that Jen died and you could see Emily breaking down. :( So sad...so sad.

This was a very well written and acted week of episodes. Everything was moving, touching, and real. It was just a great week.

Nice of them tying what happened to Margo with what Maddie has went through.

We even got a bit of the ole Emily cry at the end. LOL! It's so campy, I love it.

I'm still crying, today was amazing. I bawled when Jennifer started singing to Johnny :(

The Gwen & Barbara scenes-I loved them. The end was very good, I love how they did Jennifer's last moments, it was beautiful, and did my Justy loving heart good

I teared up during the dancing scene...and the following one when everyone got the news, but the Jen scenes with her gasping for breath as she's talking...that may have been realistic, but it was difficult to watch, and not because it was sad, but because it was distracting. I guess the fact that I'm angry about her dying adds to my inability to appreciate her scenes.

Loved Margo being there for Hal, and Casey going over to see Will.

The scenes with Emily were good because Paul did not back down regarding his plans. I also found it really interesting and cool that he does not regret what he did to protect Jennifer. I thought he was so wrong to do that, but I love that the writers have kept him constant on this one issue.

Also, loved Barbara and Gwen having their little talk. As someone who grew up watching Barbara the kind heroine, I always love to see that side of her again.

I kept missing Maddie's scenes so I don't know what's going on there.

I thought the show was very good today, very powerful stuff. When Jen asked that they remove all the monitors and wires so she could go without all the stuff on her was pretty powerful and then all the stuff wiht the family. I felt bad for all of them. I normally don't cry at shows but this one got me today.

Everyone's acting was outstanding. Jennifer Ferrin did a great job and so did Colleen, Ben, Jesse, Jennifer Landon, Don Hastings and Kathryn Hays.I thought the scene where Emily broke down was great too and her line about the only one knowing what was right in the world at that time was Jennifer. Power ful line. The only gripe I had with the whole thing was Grayson. I thought his acting sorely lacked today. He really didn't look like someone who just lost the love of their lives. His crying to me seemed sort of forced, like he really didn't want to do it but did because the script called for it. I've always thought his acting was cold and today reinforced that for me.

Otherwise excellent show.

So sad! I agree these last few days have been hard to watch. Especially the scenes of Jenn grasping for breath.

I am glad they included Tom and Margo at the end and sent Casey to see Will. I hope they use Jack and Carly for Hal next week and show Parker. I hope Nancy is there for the family scenes too.

It is going to be hard to chose for the Top 10.

I guess I will chose Jennifer Ferrin for sure!

Very amazing show today! Yesterday drained me completely, so I didn't do tooooo much crying today, but I was still touched.

The biggest scenes for me were the dance (that was so...it was just romantic. The way Dusty narrated it as they imagined it...that was just so beautiful) and the parts at the end showing everyone leaning on each other. Hal and Barbara, Tom and Margo, Kim and Bob, even Paul and Meg. Emily crying to herself against the psychiatric ward door...and, for me, the most amazing shot besides the dancing was of Gwen, Will, and Casey all hugging and crying together at Carly and Jack's house. It was just stunning to see.

It's been such an amazing, stellar week!!!

-Dusty and Jennifer dancing was so romantic, tragic and soapy it got me teary eyed. :(

However, I kinda wish her hand would have fallen lifelessly or something to indicate that she's GONE GONE. I wasn't sure if she had really died after the dance.

-I loved Casey, Margo and Tom showing up at the last minute and providing comfort for each other.

-I lost it when Barbara asked Gwen to stand by her side and lend her support, right after Hal had left with Will.

It's obvious that Barbara has now accepted Gwen and welcomes her into the family.

-The Paul/Emily scenes were a redundant with even MORE baby talk, but Meg silently telling Paul Jenn had died and Emily crying was very well done.

***I kinda wish the whole episode has been all about Jennifer. The Maddie scenes broke the mood and momentum.

It was a powerful and sad episode. All the actors did a tremendous job.

When Jennifer said " I want to believe in heaven..." I didn't stop crying the rest of the show. And then seeing Hal grab and hug Margo when Dusty came out to tell them she was gone. :(

Agreed. That was the only non-Jen story, wasn't it? Those scenes certainly felt out of place to me, even though the stuff with Margo talking to her was pretty good.

Colleen Zenk Pinter was absolutely fabulous today. Please let this woman ACT more! Seeing her with Ben Hendrickson broke my heart, too. And the Barbara/Gwen stuff... excellent. I hope they don't undo all this progress once the initial grief passes.

I lost it when Casey hugged Will. Lost it completely.

I think Dusty truly is grieving. He is the kind of guy who doesn't show his feelings well and would be trying to stay strong for Jen. Some things about Dusty bother me but never his love for his Jennifer.

I agree! Barbara has come a VERY LONG way!!! I hope they don't back peddle.

I know I already commented on it, but something about that scene...it just touched me like I've never been touched by a soap ever before. Maybe it's because I *love* the teens (and as much as I try not to, I feel a great relation to them) and because I love the performers so much, but that scene just killed me. To see the three of them, who have already gone through SO MUCH together over the last year and a half, just give it up and rely on each other for strength. Casey wasn't close to Jennifer at all, but his love for his two best friends took over and really proved that he has matured greatly since Summer 2005. It just broke my heart to see the three of them and it just solidified my undying love for these characters (and everyone else) even further.

I will go on record as saying that Thursday was one of the best, if not THE best, soap opera episode I have ever seen. I haven't felt this excited about a show since Michael Cambias's hearing on AMC in August 2003 (where both Kendall and Erica had huge, emotion-driven outbursts in court).

I firmly believe that when we watched Thursday's episode, we were watching the episode that will win ATWT the Emmy next year for best drama and writing. Not to mention acting noms for JenF, Jesse, and for today's episode, Colleen.
