and then gets caught!

--Okay, this might be mean to say, but I hate the PEM baby! It's not even here yet and it's causing all these stupid problems. I hope that Meg dumps Paul's ass. She deserves better than being sucked in hell w/ Paul and his demon spawn.

--Paul needs to STFU. He calls Barbara a bad parent, when his baby isn't even born and he's already using it to seek revenge on Emily. Nice job loser...pretty soon he's going to replace his own father as the Worst Parent in Oakdale. But then again, he has some really big competition from Emily.

--Wow, I can't believe it...Dusty has gotten even more pathetic! I wished Meg would !@#$%^&*] smack him when he said that she, Paul, and Emily didn't care about Jen. Where was Jen's ghost when he said that? The way he treated Meg today was totally unacceptable. I don't understand how anyone could like this character after he pretty much attacked her today.

Other comments:

--Damian and Lucy- yuck!! They brought Damian back for this?

--Maddie is now a psycho. Starting fires? Who is she, the next Alison Stewart? I hope Lisa has insurance on that place.

TPTB truly ruined Damian...Basically all Paolo's return was for propping up the exit of Martha Byrne and to the Snyder's to accept Luke as being gay. The whole thing today with Damian telling bald face lies about Holden to Lucy...Lucy should have some common sense and realize that Damian hasn't been in Luke's life since forever, and Holden would never banish Luke. But of course, they have to make Lucy sit there and act like she didn't truly "know" Holden

I have absolutely no respect or like for Dusty "Dirty Douche Bag" Donovan. It's funny that Dusty thinks that he can live his life by one set of rules, being able to manipulate, con and jerk around anyone he comes in contact with, however, he wants to throw the law at those who do the exact same thing.

First off, Dusty must need to get his memory checked, because when it was thought that Jennifer lost Johnny, Dusty wasn't even in a intimate relationship with her. They weren't a "family that lost their child", as he made it sound when he blamed Meg for keeping them apart. Once Dusty learned that Meg didn't come forward about Johnny being Jennifer's, that's when he hightailed it over to Jen's and sudden wanted to be with her. The way Dusty makes it sound, they were on this year long romance and planning a family when Big Bad Paul, Evil Wench Emily, and Manipulative Meg decided to whisk Johnny away from Jennifer to break up their happy home Please!

As for the Maddie stuff...I think this will all be some big dream of hers. It just seems odd that Casey, who was pledging his love for Maddie and wanted to be with her, even talking to his mom about what could be wrong with her, suddenly become the cool, and careless Casey we knew before Maddie got there.

I really hated the Casey/Maddie stuff today and I hated the way Casey acted. He was nothing like he's been for the past year since he's known Maddie. I was afraid the writers were going to take him back to being a jerk and I can't stand it. They are ruining two great characters and a great couple.

Dusty was so sad today. I enjoyed the Jennifer appearance

A part of me does understand why Dusty is so upset, but the man needs to take a chill pill. He came thisclose to almost physically hurting Meg.

I think Casey's heart is still broken. Maddie's split from him took him by surprise. It is weird, though, that he's automatically going out w/ that Lia girl. But boys will be boys.

Personally I think how Dusty is reacting is totally realistic. We all deal with grief in different ways. I can't fault him for how he's acting. I am pissed though that they're still using Jenn and her death to prop Emiloon

This Maddie stuff sucks. What if that fired had killed everyone in the building. She'd be a murderer in prison for life, no matter what her intent. No more psychos. Yuck.

I have said this a gazillion times but I hate all the Emily/Paul/Meg/Dusty never ending garbage. Please backburner these characters.

I love Luke, but damn we get so few dribbles of his story, especially the Kevin part. I only need to watch 10 minutes a week to see that.

I hate how Luke's storyline tends to segway into other storylines. First, it turned into Jade's storyline, and now it's all about Damian and Lucy.

I can't wait for the scene when Luke comes out to Kevin. That's the kind of stuff I'd like to see...not Lucy shamelessly flirting w/ a 40-something year old guy or Maddie setting places on fire.

Ugh, Maddie is becoming one of my least-favorite characters. When I broke up w/ my first boyfriend, I wasn't setting places on fire. I'm sorry that she was raped (or whatever it was), but that's no excuse for almost killing people. She should do what normal ex-girlfriends do: make crank phone calls to them or talk trash about the new girlfriend.

PEM are pathetic...Paul and Emily especially. They've managed to destroy Meg's character, which I absolutely hate. She should reunite w/ Dusty. That was when I actually enjoyed Dusty, and anything that gets Meg away from the psycho couple is good w/ me. Dusty's a lot better when he isn't watered down IMO. His worst was w/ Lucy, but he and Jen were really bland too.

The show is quickly losing steam...

-Absolutely NOTHING interested happened today... no movement, no development, nothing we haven't seen before.

-Maddie, please get a grip on yourself.

I'm hoping Jade will help her through this and will make Maddie change her mind about her.

-Dusty is a vile pig.

-Nice seeing ghost Jenn today.

-Spoil me ONLY this (A Yes/No will suffice): Is Emily going to trial?

LMAO! I agree!

Nothing else really happened that I care to comment on other than Dusty is an ass and I wish Damien would get some highlights, the dark look makes him look older than what he is.

I'm just going to give a list of what I didn't like and what I liked.

Liked

-Henry helping Emily escape. They are excellent together. For a moment there I thought Henry and Emily were going to kiss. Thankfully they did not.

-If there is one thing that I like about Dusty, it is that he doesn't treat Barbara like Paul does.

-Seeing Luke. God this guy is hot.

-Susan confrontign Emily.

-Seeing Meg. She's one of my favorites.

-No Katie!

Hated

-Paul calling Barbara a bad parent. STFU Paul!!!

-The Maddie storyline doesn't make sense to me. Just because she was raped she turns into this psycho? I hate the destruction of Casey and Maddie's characters and relationship.

-Margo wasn't on. Instead of setting that club on fire, they should have had more Maddie and Margo scenes. I really wish they would have her more involved with this story. Instead I don't even think the writers are even taking this story seriously. I see it as them just writing it as some way to fuse more action into the show. "Ohhh Maddie's setting Crash on fire." Puhleze.

-Damien and Lucy. Please tell me their NOT going there. Lucy should have known better. I hope she was just giving Damien the impression that she believed him about Holden, only to tell Holden what he's up to.

-Dusty's little outburst towards Meg. WTF? Someone get this guy off the show NOW!!! I can't take Dusty any longer. Mr. Sonny Corinthos-wannabe gets on my nerves blaming everyone in town. I wish Meg should have slapped him. What's weird is that this isn't the first time he's gotten hostile with her. Remember Dusty confronting Meg on keeping information about Johnny a secret?

Michael, that's a good way to put it. I don't think they are taking the Maddie story seriously either, it's just summer fun for the teens. If Maddie is a rape victim, I would hope it's not a big joke like when Julia raped Jack. I liked her because she was wide-eyed and full of life and they've totally sacrificed that for this storyline.

Okay...I'm going to admit that I like Damian & Lucy. I just wanted Damian out of Holden & Lily's orbits and if they're not going to try hooking him up w/ Carly or Vienna, then I'm alright w/ putting him with Lucy. Yes, I realize how semi-creepy it all is but then again, they've had Lucy hook up with the guy who her aunt lost her virginity to and they've had Mike hook up w/ three women from the same family so I don't see how this is any worse.
