E.J.'s history has been fucked up so much, I don't even care anymore. I was just happy to have Susan/Edmund acknowledged at all. |

Well, I, for one, was BLOWN AWAY by Abe's praising his wife today. For some reason, it really got to me, and I usually don't go for the mushy stuff. JR hit that one out of the park! |

I agree. The autism storyline is bad. We didn't even get to see when Abe and Lexie found out that Theo was autistic, and now pretty much all that we see is Theo acting kinda strange and saying "One, two, three, four" every now and then. The promoted it so much as this big story and yet it isn't really going anywhere. |

It's painfully obvious that all that the autism story was intended for was to drum up some good publicity for the show and nothing more. There's no depth to it. We're not seeing scenes that we should be seeing; we're just hearing about them (if we're lucky). Basically the only time we even see this story featured is when filler material is needed in an episode. There's no reason to be invested in this storyline. IMO, it's pretty much a failure on every level. |

I almost forgot the autism storyline!! I haven't been watching much, its mostly been fast-forwarding. They are hardly showing any scenes. Obviously other storylines are taking precedent over this one which is not what I expected or wanted. |

Dear Ma, I hate to write this letter, it seems it's the only way I can communicate without yelling or whining. As you know I have a new sister and I must find her. I don't think European phones are compatible with US phones so I'm unable to call her. I deduced that with my newfound genius intelligence. Please...don't follow me. Don't worry about me. This is my family and it's something I must do for myself. Even though you and Pop had raised me for the majority of my life while accepting me as a full Brady with dating privileges (thanks for that BTW, Brady women are hot!), blood is always thicker than water, though in our family's case I should say thicker than beer, and I have to do anything to find my real bloods at all costs. Anyway, given I was one of two bartenders who worked at the pub, I hope it's ok I didn't make any arrangements for anyone to cover for me, hopefully Pete won't be pissed. Also, I am managing still The Cheating Heart so maybe you could head over there and check on it? Finally, if anyone from the docks shows up asking why I didn't report for work, can you just tell them I'm sick? Thanks, Ma, you're the best. Love, Max |

LMAO!! Love it. If only DAYS could see it from our viewpoint. A man with three job takes off on an adventure with no established timeframe with lack of funds, so it seems. |

Damnit I want to know what Nicole is hiding about her past, fuck you Higley for yet another scene where the secret is blurted out off screen. Let the viewers in on some secrets, so we can watch the residents of Salem try and hide it from everyone else in Salem. Higley being fired can't come soon enough for me. |

How many times do we have to see the same fucking scenes between Sami and Lucas? |

I loved the Ava and Nicole Scene ... I loved the Marlena and Rolfe Scene... I Super loved the John and EJ Scene - with Sami too... I can't believe they had Sami and Lucas yelling at each other yet again .... Ugh I snoozed thru the Max and Stephanie scene .... |

Oh, speaking of the Marlena/Rolf scenes, that reminds me. Why the hell was Marlena talking with Rolf like he was an old, dear friend or something? That was so stupid. |

We both know that answer, Higley writes for plot purposes only. I am really starting to despise Higley by each passing week. :flipoff: |

I haven't watched today's show yet, but I read about this in the previews and had the same reactions (as both of you). This is just like when Sheffer had Marlena sit in the Brady pub and have tea with Stefano. Characters' relationships to each other and histories with each other become completely irrelevant in the world of a bad writer. |

Gee, I wish I could rush right home and watch them--I'm sure there are subtle differences from the last 1,377 times they've discussed their relationship, such as it is. Ellie, I don't even remember Marlena and Stefano having tea together at the Brady pub. What on earth was the rationale for that? |

No kidding! I just cringe and pull my hair when those two are in the same room. Has Sami had a scene with Lucas since November where she hasn't cried? I really can't say I remember one! Those two are toxic with each other! Speaking of toxic, Max and Steph...oh brother! When a man lies to you, tells you to leave him alone and that he needs some quiet time and space to sort out his personal business, and he needs to fly across the world to do it....LET HIM GO, YOU DOORMAT! Stephanie constantly hanging on these men drive me insane! EJ and John were interesting. I am surprised EJ would go back to being under the control of another power hungry man. Maybe that is his safe zone. I must say that I enjoy EJ being a little shady. He is so damn good at it. Sami flying off the handle and her constant "I will never forgive you" jabs at EJ are just as old as Sami saying that Lucas is the love of her life. I did find it totallly frustrating and obnoxious that there were TWO secrets on the show that the audience isn't privvy to. Ava/Nicole and Lucas/Roman. I must say I prefer that the audience know the secret and no one else, over the characters knowing and the audience feeling clueless. Stupid! Not to mention that they are going to drag it out for another couple months! Sigh! Not a bad show today...there is always next week to shine! |

I could watch Sami and Lucas "yell" at each other all day. Bryan and Ali are amazing with angsty material.
It's typical Higley. She has a knack of sucking all the drama and suspense out of potentially interesting twists. Edited by Ponz, Jul 18 2008, 03:11 PM.
