Hey Jen, and everyone, I was severly depressed after watching today's show, and I won't be able to watch it again for a long time. I DO understand the complexities of everything, but even in "old" soapland, there was a payoff at some point. After 2 years of watching Paul and Meg, I'm still waiting for their payoff. And it's frustrating me enormously. I seriously had to leave my house after today's show b/c I was so upset (how ridiculous is that!?). Great work to MWil and of course, RH. Have a great weekend everyone! Becky -- TODD'S LAIR

In reply to: Jen 's message, "Re: How do you make the pain go away? LIke the song says. Im such a freaking cornball. Im still crying and its almost 5 PM EST....two hours following the show. How she held his hand the whole time while Craig berrated them. Too much love there to type about. I feel so sorry for them both. Im scared for their well being. They're both strong. But this could break them as individuals and maybe their bond. I just want them to somehow make it through....and have it stick. No more one day reunions for PEG. I want their love to shine for all the World to see. FOREVER. (you know soap world kind of forever.) btw..what is the name of the song playing in the background TK....its hauntingly beautiful. The artists voice is mystical and magical. (and its making me cry more. :)) I mean that in a good way." on 14:06:33 01/11/08 Fri

Re: Hey, MissBecks - It was a sad, sad show - hard to watch. I completely understand your frustration, girl. It's kind of like reaching for that ring that stays just ahead of your hand. BUT it keeps our story going. I know our guy has a great story coming up. And I am gonna hang in there for more payoffs - AND a win for Paul. They did a terrific job today! You have a great weekend too, Becky!
JEN!!! Gotcha covered on that song, girl! PERFECT for what we and Paul - and Paul and Meg - are enduring. I agree with you - it is a hauntingly beautiful song. Grabs you right in the heart. Matches up very nicely - don't ya' think? (GRIN) I ADORED how precious it was that Meg held onto Paul's hand while Craig was pulling out all the stops to goad him into a fight!

Ah ... Miss Becks. I do understand. It is frustrating and after Fridays show, heartbreaking. But, and I am not trying to minimize your feelings or need for a break ... it's par for the course in Soap for me. As not just a Paul fan ... but an old Todd fan, let alone other characters and couples I followed for years on other soaps ... this is all pretty much by the book. Sigh. What always gets me through is the acting. I've always seen Soap as basically an exploration of Emotional Response to circumstances ... of all kinds. I think that is what the hard to take plots are all about. Do I want "payoffs" ... yes. But in my many years of watching ... they have been always brief for the characters I follow. But the emotional depictions ... the moments when I actually forget I'm watching TV ... make it worthwhile for me. Listen ... I'm not trying to preach to you here. I'm just trying to explain why I watch. Please come back as soon as you can? I'll miss you. (NT) -- tat, 04:45:13 01/12/08 Sat
