OFF TOPIC:....For a moment.... -- TK, 22:58:10 01/04/08 Fri
.....if I may (of course I can - and you KNEW I would....)

Lily's awesome line to the nut-job today:

"You know, you're not a homewrecker, you're just a WHORE."

LMAO!!!! Go Lily! (And she has no idea how very true that remark is....yet.) And I guess I do have to give a little credit to the nut-job - dang it....She has TRIED to be a homewrecker. She just wasn't as sucessful at that as she was in her recent prostitution endeavors. (OK - that's the only smidgen of credit I can give.) I can hardly wait till Lily finds out she was RIGHT!

AND ... can you imagine what Lily would have said if she had actually seen Emily hike that dress up those three inches from her crotch and hike herself onto Dusty? Man ... I thought the airbag was going to deploy for sure!And yeah ... wait 'til Lily finds out about Emily's Oh, So Satisfying Sex Spree. Oh, sorry ... her confidence and control building exercises. Heh. What was it? Thirty-five men? Hard to keep count. I'm thinking Susan should run a VDRL on Spread'Em ... and let's hope Chris and Dusty know to check for chancres. We know who the real Whore of Oakdale is ... and soon Lily, Chris, Tom, Margo and the rest of Oakdale will too. (NT) -- tat, 04:51:11 01/05/08 Sat
Re: I guess Emily only does one thing right. Hehehehe! Well, good enough to get paid for it. Too funny. (NT) -- Jen, 06:58:48 01/05/08 Sat
Had to be the LINE OF THE DAY!! Lily is my HERO! Can't wait for the rest of Oakdale to know the Whore's Dirty Little Secret -- let's start with Tom and Margo and Chris and what the heck, Holden too! Bwah....I LOVE this Show!! (NT) -- cataz, 07:49:36 01/05/08 Sat

OMG.......How could I forget...... Paul needs to know too!!!! Of course, she'll probably make it all Paul's fault like it was his fault she shot him and rolled him off the cliff.... (NT) -- cataz, 08:33:52 01/05/08 Sat

Cataz, I have to disagree with you there...I don't want Paul to know anything about Emily! I would like for him to forget that she even exists! I don't want them within 100 miles of each other! I don't even want them to say each other's names!!! LOL (NT) -- MissBecks, 18:22:50 01/05/08 Sat

Lilly has no idea how right she is....Spread'Em I love it. I want Paul to find out, I want him to be disgustig with her a$$. I really want Emiloon to pay and pay big. (NT) -- 45emacrh, 18:40:33 01/05/08 Sat

It was the line of the day ... hee! Not that it hasn't been said before ... remember Emily's trick, Eliot? She bragged to Eliot that Dusty learned the hard way not to cross her ... she kidnapped him and kept him chained to a wall for weeks. Well ...Eliot saw this as a true indication of her character, called her what she was ... a whore, and added that she was a little freak who gets off on chaining guys to walls. I think Eliot had something there. Heh. (NT) -- tat, 07:15:53 01/06/08 Sun

Which leads me to why I don't want Paul to be around her EVER. Her boast to Eliot proved to me that Emily was in full control when she kidnapped Dusty. She and her choir of enablers might keep blaming Paul for Emily's shenanigans ... but Emily has never been "crazy" in all the many years I have been watching her. Emily has just been a stupid self-centered and VICIOUS woman who not only doesn't care about the consequences of her actions, but also has never had the slightest moral qualm about those actions ... unless she can pretend to remorse to get out of legal complications. We know the very long laundry list of things she did to Paul. She has never been "crazy". She has never changed. She is just poison. (NT) -- tat, 07:17:35 01/06/08 Sun

And you know what the really ironic thing of all of this is? Paul has a good heart. He might actually not be all that bothered by Emily's Whoring and Stupidity because he's basically a good hearted person. The IRONY is that the Emily fans ... and the "other" Paul fans who constantly bash and trash him for being LESS than a man (in their opinion) with other people ... would NOT call him those crude and childish names if he was soft-hearted with Emily. I would bet money on it. (NT) -- tat, 07:45:26 01/06/08 Sun

WORD!!!! (NT) -- MissBecks, 11:36:44 01/06/08 Sun
Re: Oh, I'll be there to remind them. (about ball-less Paul)......and how he only applies to those women who aren't Emily. COUNT ON IT. (NT) -- Jen, 18:23:07 01/06/08 Sun

Hey Jen....go on with your bad self, sistah friend! LOL (I honestly don't know how you stand to be there!) (NT) -- MissBecks, 06:45:49 01/07/08 Mon

To be honest I hate all of the Stewart women! Susan reminded me of what an awful mother she is by playing the "my poor Emily is victim of Paul Ryan" card....Paul didn't shot Ems, he didn't toss her over a cliff and left her for dead...all he did was to "break-up with her" and nothing else...he told her why but Ems had a gun and used it. Paul didn't attack her, he did yell, he walked away...but of course Susan feels being dump is worst than being shot and rolled off a cliff! The Stewart women are ALL stupid., whiny trash! I hate the way the writer always makes Paul to blame and not put the blame in the right place and sweep criminal activities or make the criminal a VICTIM! UGH!!!! (NT) -- 45emacrh, 16:09:02 01/07/08 Mon

IN A PERFECT WORLD.....These would become reality: -- TK, 21:10:27 01/02/08 Wed

WOW - It feels good to be back after the Christmas & New Year holidays!! It felt like we got kicked in the gut though, when we read about Paul and Meg losing son.....However we are looking at the brighter side....I mean after all, how could we get any of those steamy love scenes between Paul and Meg?....And how else could we enjoy the story of them working their way back together?....And how else could we see the tremendous performances we are going to get?....

ACTUALLY we really wanted Paul and Meg's baby to LIVE! And we are VERY sad about how this is all foretold to go down. Paul loses yet another child. SAD. (At least this time, it isn't because of a loony NUT-JOB carrying and using his baby as a bargaining tool to keep her @ss outta jail.)

So, let's get on with it - Paul and Meg can make our dreams - and theirs - come true, eh?

Happy NEW Year, TK! What fabulous snaps! I missed them ... grin. I'm back too ... and ready for the Story to continue.
To say I'm heartbroken at whAT is going to transpire is an understatement. Like you said ... in a perfect "World". We knew there was going to be an extensive rewrite but this leaves me so very very sad. However ... while the mechanics of it are a kick in the gut ... if the writers acheive their purpose ... it will all be worthwhile. If the death of a baby can ever be worthwhile. Sigh. But as in Life ... that's Life and Death. It's Soap. Life is unfair ... and as above so below. It is so incredibly sad, though.
Well, out of this sadness we will get the joy of RH's portrayal ... and the incredible chemistry of him and MWil showing us their characters hearts. I'm ready. (NT) -- tat, 04:03:33 01/03/08 Thu
But but but.....the BABY! :( :( :( Paul and Meg's sadness....MY sadness. Bad PTB BAD!! I hope it doesn't take too long for Paul and Meg to make their way back to each other. (NT) -- schiffeg68, 05:15:11 01/03/08 Thu
Why can't Paul be a father? He is great with kids...he can afford them...and he is loving. He would never have his child kidnapped and tortured....I can't tell you how mad I am about Paul losing another child...it's not fair. (NT) -- 45emacrh, 07:27:32 01/03/08 Thu
I agree with all of you. I am so sick and tired of them killing babies on this show!!! But, after all of this turmoil, trials and tribulations, the writers BETTER put Paul and Meg back together when this cr*p is all over!!! Looking forward to some heartbreaking performances from RH!! (NT) -- MissBecks, 09:40:02 01/03/08 Thu

Hey, Tat, Donna, emac & MissBecks....I will just say - "I KNOW!!!!" - to all of you and your thoughts about this, and I will throw in an "I AGREE!!!" I am heart-broken about their baby son. And they had better get Paul and Meg healed up from this pretty darned quick. (NT) -- TK, 23:06:43 01/04/08 Fri

SOAP RAG RANT!!! -- TK, 20:40:38 01/02/08 Wed
Last week's SOD had a *quote* by Roger (in October 1994) that the mag put into an interview they did with him as he was departing OLTL for the first time.

Notice the underlined *THE MAG PUT INTO* part - Because a few weeks later, Roger's rebuttal to that particular *quote* was printed in their mail section!!! (Yes, I have the letter.) He told them that they had printed something MISLEADING. He explained that he was still under contract to OLTL and could not work on another soap for at least 1 year.

Wonder why the rag used that MISLEADING quote again, and left out the part about Roger writing in to them after his interview was printed to state correctly what he really meant? I mean they printed his letter....! ???

IDIOTS!!!!! ARGH!

TK - Who just HAD to set the record straight for our guy!

Aaaaaaaaargh! I could NOT believe they did that, TK! I'm so glad you posted this. I knew you had his letter and was hoping you would! I am soooooooo sick and frickin' tired of that '95 exit article being used against RH. I thought he was VERY clear in what he said about everything ... but people have always used it against him for their own agendas. Jerks. (NT) -- tat, 04:10:13 01/03/08 Thu
Thanks for clearing that up. I had no idea. But boy am I glad he DID do another soap. ;) (NT) -- schiffeg68, 05:47:47 01/04/08 Fri

Love the winter wonderland motif. Does someone have a wedding on their mind? It's funny because I just downloaded this very song [Christmas Canon] the other day. And yes, that was with Paul and Meg in mind. ;) -- schiffeg68, 16:55:37 12/20/07 Thu

Absolutely....Gorgeous....Scenery! I, too love the snow drifts. and the Christmas Canon is one of my Christmas Songs. The Christamas Show was outstanding. The costumes and hair and makeup, set designs......Paul looking like the "Master" that he is. The elegance, grace, and beauty of that time period. Wishing all a Very Merry Christmas and all the best in 2008 with More Paul! Thanks tat and TK, for all you do , all year through! (NT) -- jazzdance, 11:29:45 12/23/07 Sun
I have to echo what's already been said. . .the "winter wonderland" motif is magic.

I am so excited about the special Christmas episode!

Love dollhouses ... love Victoriana ... love that the Show is trying to make Christmas special (Special ... grin!)

Anyway ... I know some of you can't load the stuff at ATWT.net so here's the behind the scenes video:

The making of the ATWT Dollhouse

Warning! I did it in a larger screen format because of the amazing detail ... and there are some glimpses of RH ... so it's 15+megs.

Enjoy! It's going to be am amazing Show!

Snowbird checking in!
-- tat statler, 04:53:47 12/13/07 Thu
Well ... looks like things are starting to start up here. A good start would be to have RH's Paul on for more than ten minutes a week. Grin. Yeah ... all I want for Christmas is Paul, Santa baby. Unwrap him already.

Casting News is saying Grayson McCouch is out at the end of his contract in January. Damn. I hate Dusty and I was not keen on how GM played Dusty ... but I will always have a soft spot for GM because of his previous roles. Sniff. AND this means we won't get Dumily. Waaaahhhhh! I was really looking forward to Dumily ... especially since KMH was soooooo keen on it and sooooooo was looking forward to working with GM. She gushed quite a bit about it. Well, there is mention of a recast, so let's see what KMH has to say. re-Dumily might still be a go ... YaY!

Rosanna is almost gone. Cady McClain is gone ... and wasn't she just so brave to dump on her Story after the fact? Just like she did last time at AMC and the lastest time here and the lastestest time at AMC again. Kudos, Cady! I know some people think you're a flaky snivelly coward ... but you'll always be one of the top Soap Bitches to me. Grin.

CZP's Babs is getting a big Story based on her RL bout of cancer. I'm so happy that CZP beat it ... and that Babs will be getting some substantitive airtime. Yay! Hopefully this means more Paul, too! And ... maybe the upcoming pathos will re-adjust Will's long running and annoying attitude to not just his Mother ... but his Brother, too. Wednsday's episode had me shaking my head. Will not only reneged on his promises of forgiveness for Paul ... he again refused to accept responsibility for his actions in killing Rose. Teflon. Hey! You know what would be cool? Emily likes the young stuff ... maybe she and Will could have a go now that Dumily is up in the air? They both like to blame everyone but themselves ... they could shift their blame together! Heavy load ... the more hands the lighter. Yeah! But what to call them. Hmmmmm. Emily's new Willy. Hmmmmmmm.

With what little time he had yesterday ... RH again rocked Paul. I love that he took up for Babs. I love that he didn't argue with Will's uncalled for attack. I love Paul. With almost no dialogue ... RH again showed me Paul's heart. Love love love. RH makes everything worthwhile. Yes, he does.

Speaking of love ... I really enjoy Scott Bryce. I've said it before but I just have to say it again, I may HATE Craig ... but SB is the only reason I can at all understand Meg's feelings about him. Hunt Block just could not have made this work ... even when I used to love him his first years on the Show. No, it's SB's portrayal of Craig that makes me understand Meg's dilemma. And speaking of Meg ... KUDOS to MWil for terrific work in a thankless role. I really admire her.

And, better late than never, I guess ... the Weekly Promo. Very well done. Dramatic. Exciting. And ... loved the Paul and Meg flashbacks. I'll take what I can get. Hee!

Week of December 10th Promo

I also have the blooper clip from ATWT.net with only the RH parts for anyone interested. I would have posted it ... but quite frankly I was taken aback by all the KMH gushers loving how she smacked RH on the head like a bad dog. Hmmmmph.

Anyway, looking forward to more Paul and I am excited about the Christmas Special Episode. Neat!

And don't forget, Santa ....... MORE Paul!

Hey Tat -- Good to have you checking in and bringing us your wit & wisdom! I've missed it so, You're Right-on-Mark, with everything you said, IMO!! :) Goodbye Cady & Grayson, best of luck to ya both!! Now, On with the Show!!! MORE PAUL TV, Please, Santa, PLEASE!! Ditto, too, Tat regarding Scott Bryce. I'm worried about that baby tho, I don't like TPTB playing all these games with the innocense of a child and hope & pray he's got plenty of his daddy's gene's and will pull through all this drama! Hang on Baby Ryan!!!! :) (NT) -- cataz, 06:28:01 12/13/07 Thu

Oh, Cataz! I hear ya about Paul's son ... sob. I really hate baby in jeopardy stories. You remember how I screamed when Emily had that untested experiment done on Paul's baby's brain ... to get out of jail! I suspected then that that baby was just a plot point to redeem Emily. And I was right. So sad. Paul's daughter.
They just better not use Paul's son as a plot point. Babies are not bargaining chips. I had my fill of that atrocity with Emily ... I do NOT want to see it replicated with Craig. No, I don't.
Perpetual optimist that I am, however, it seems to me that in keeping with Soap 101 ... Paul's son will survive and thrive. Paul needs children. Every other Male Scion of Oakdale has children except for Paul. Not right ... not Soapy. (NT) -- tat, 04:22:21 12/14/07 Fri

What a difference they are showing with Meg as a caring mother, putting her child first no matter who the daddy, versus Emily, the crazy lunatic using her baby for her own benefits. This child is being loved by it's mama and true papa, eventho Paul believe's he belongs to another.
On another note -- did you see Cady's new blog? Gee, they didn't give her a cake, but Grayson got one.... boo-hoo, pout. Sad to hear production people were cut,, but the show will go on. I wish ATWT all the luck in the world for 2008 and am thankful we get to have Roger's Paul!! He's just so yummy! (NT) -- cataz, 15:12:10 12/14/07 Fri

I so agree, it is a "World" of difference, Cataz! Meg and Paul warm my heart. Emily was a monster to use Paul's daughter the way she did, not only to get out of jail ... but to also manipulate Paul. I'm still worried about the Craig factor though. Spoilers indicate that he doesn't go through with killing the baby but the Story isn't over ... Craig could still put the baby at risk again.
I'm so sad about the cuts, too. PGP was serious about the measures they are taking to keep the Show on the air. BUT! It's Christmas ... wahhhhhh! So heartbreaking. (NT) -- tat, 15:55:11 12/14/07 Fri

Yeah, a big boohoo to Ms. McClain. What a passive-aggressive little git. But ... that wasn't what really fried me. That link she's talking about further down goes to an old Richard Serra piece. It is basically art propaganda from back in the "The Medium is the Massage" days of the 70's. Bottom line? She's calling us idiots for watching the Show. I don't know what that makes her because she's bounced around soap for decades ... and I'm not buying her mealy mouthed disclaimer. If she thinks people who watch TV are witless morons who are tools of consumer manipulation ... maybe she better stop working in TV, huh? Because she has been a part of that so-called consumer manipulation. AND she was getting paid to do it. She's all agog over an old political art piece? I'm all aghast at her hypocrisy. (NT) -- tat, 16:06:15 12/14/07 Fri

Thanks Tat....for all the heads up info. Guess Grayson will try pilot season again...he almost got a show last year. I hope to see more of CZP...glad she is getting a SL.....and Wow.....about her own RL illness, too. I too hope we see more Paul.....and with Barbara.....they always have one of the best scenes together. Santa better deliver more Paul......for sure!....or they'll be no cookies and milk from me! (NT) -- jazzdance, 06:43:19 12/13/07 Thu

Hasn't RH and his Paul been wonderful, jazz? Sigh! RH just rocks it with all his co-players. It is really a shame that a section of RH's fans (cough) can't appreciate RH's portrayal of Paul because he isn't with a woman they want him to be with. Too bad that they don't realize that taking a crap on Paul because he isn't doing what they want him to do ... is also taking a crap on RH's performance. (NT) -- tat, 04:24:26 12/14/07 Fri

I was glad that the Dr.'s made mention that there is a 75% chance that the baby will still be ok. I took that as a sign that even though Paul and Meg are both carriers of this disease, that the baby will still be ok. It will be nice to see Paul and Meg bonded TOGETHER, even if it is just to pray that their baby boy is not sick. And my guess is, he will not be. :) (NT) -- Donna aka schiffeg68, 06:46:57 12/14/07 Fri

I caught that Donna when I was getting clips and was relieved to know the baby's got a good chance of not being affected.

(NT) -- cataz, 15:19:14 12/14/07 Fri

ITA cataz. I cannot wait for the day Paul realizes this baby that he can't help but have an affection for is really his!! It's killing me to see how much being left out hurts him and it shows all over him. Ga!! (NT) -- Donna, 15:41:18 12/14/07 Fri

I'm hoping that deep down Meg still holds on to her intuition that it IS Paul's baby. AND ... Paul has a lot of unanswered questions about Rosanna's behavior throughout this whole Story. He has kept shoving them aside because of wishful thinking and circumstances ... BUT! Here's to hoping that he finally gets proof of Rosanna's complicity with Craig ... and her latest caper.

Re: It sounds like Craig is going to find out about Paul and Meg...and text Paul/lure Paul to a confrontation......and as a result, Meg tries to sidetrack him by beggin him for another chance....and to make a family for "his" baby. Paul was right....he'd find ways to keep his claws in Meg......and obviously, its by threatening Paul. So instead of risking it all and Pauls safety, she'll stay. UUUUgh!

If only they could just get away from Oakdale for a day, the possibilities are colossal, lol. Hope you enjoy.

Hey, Donna - NOT ANYMORE!!! Heehee.....I love those shots, too! MissBecks - Doncha just wish there was a blackout on all those who aren't watching the show? HAHAHA!! 100? I'd say Jen's 12 is closer to the true number. But you make a great point even if it is 100 - how much is that compared to the general audience? Like a needle in a haystack. Jen - I am sure the show sees right through them. How could they not? LMAO! Hey, it's fine by me too, if they write Paul and Meg for spite....Makes my viewing experience quite pleasant! I hope the lunatic fringe keeps up the good work! GRIN! (NT) -- TK, 19:13:50 11/11/07 Sun

Just found out the news about Cady wrapping up her story soon. Guess Rosanna does slip back into her coma. Oh my the poor fans who AREN'T watching the show....they are just heartbroken about how EVERYONE is being sacrificed for Maul (god I hate that name). If you're not watching the friggin' show, why the hell are you wasting your time posting about it!!???? GMAFB!! Considering how CM has been allowed to take time off whenever she wanted it, I think it's only fair that TPTB change things quickly as well. (In case y'all didn't notice, I made the mistake of visiting certain boards again today.) I love how all these posters (who don't watch the show) talk about how Meg is ruining everything, and how EVERYONE they know hates her. I'm thinking we're talking about maybe 100 people tops on every message board there is. Wow, that's a whole fraction of a fraction of a rating point! LOL (NT) -- MissBecks, 21:03:27 11/09/07 Fri

100? Try like 12. please! They are so transparent...and they actually think the show doesnt see through it all? I think they write PEG just to spite them all! Which is fine by me. (NT) -- Jen, 07:18:14 11/10/07 Sat

It doesn't bother me if they call the couple Maul or Peg, it's still Paul and Meg! I didn't realize that Marie/Meg had so much power!!!! So now she is the HR dept - LOL! Cady was slated to exit in February anyway...so I don't understand what's the big deal....Cady didn't sign a contract, she knew her stay was for a short term. I saw the poll regarding "who should Paul be with" ..more -- 45emacrh, 09:33:52 11/10/07 Sat

Yep, I'm sure it's not even 100 people...I'm just accounting for all the boards that I don't read and all the different "user names" that are out there. And yes, MWil is one powerful woman! It's amazing the things that happen over at ATWT all because she says so! ROTFLMAO!! (NT) -- MissBecks, 11:22:44 11/10/07 Sat
DOesn't bother me either, emac....(can I call you 'emac' for short?) it's still Paul and Meg - no matter how you spell it. It's nothing short of pathetic how they are blaming wishy-washy CM's early departure on Marie. Maybe we should all write our Christmas wishes with 'Dear Marie' on them - LOL! As for those infernal polls...I saw the one you mentioned. I agree that their crap gets old quickly. Over and over....the same BS. And they are only doing it to try and get those who enjoy Paul and Meg to stop posting.....Looks like they ain't gonna get that either! GRIN! (NT) -- TK, 19:23:50 11/11/07 Sun

Re: Hitched......not a romantic word.......thats what IM holding onto......when I think of hitch I think of a big boat being pulled by a vehicle half its size! Hahahaha! Poor Paul. Although im a little ticked at sweet Paul........he never found any peace with Meg, huh? Gee.....he really fooled me. At least I hope he wasn't fooling Meg all that time. Cause I think she thinks they really found some real happiness....and since he told her countless times that they were "all that matters"........im hoping thats still true. Yuk, yuk to Thurs and Fri. Pro in bed was never anything I enjoyed....except for the Roger view. (NT) -- Jen, 07:09:23 11/05/07 Mon

Hey, Jen - yea 'hitched'....And other than Paul dancing with her, the hitching ceremony was anything but romantic. Like I said - Paul married the wrong girl....again. A girl who is already plotting with Paul's worst enemy, against him. And she was coming across as a little 'whacked' - UH-OH, PAUL!!! - during the ceremony.
I just cannot ever be ticked at our guy! GRIN. I know - and you know, too - why he is saying those things. You also KNOW he was not deceiving Meg all that time, Jen. It was real. (And so is that baby! Hee!) Paul believes he cannot afford to feel those emotions, because Meg is STILL with Craig (for which, btw, 'I'm a little ticked' at her - wink!), so he hides, denies & covers them up. However - already there are parts of his wall that are already falling apart...even as he is still building it.
And your other point...about Paul and Ro in bed? No heat. I don't think ice queen CM is capable of doing 'heat' - But Paul is ALWAYS worth the view!!! (NT) -- TK, 12:01:14 11/05/07 Mon

Paul and Meg's wedding better have all family members present. (no dumb excuses like they can't make it because they are on a stake-out, or out of town visiting more absentee relatives!). The wedding can not be in a living room or outside the front door of the Farm. While we are at it, it can't be at Luther's Corners church either! So I guess I'm nominating the ballroom of the Lakeview! And Yes, I fully believe that wedding WILL happen someday soon in 2008! (NT) -- schiffeg68, 07:49:56 11/06/07 Tue

Hey Donna - I LOVED Paul's original idea to have their wedding at the pond! Surely it will be a big BIG wedding! After all they've gone through, I'd say they have earned a very nice one! (NT) -- TK, 19:32:54 11/06/07 Tue

Actually, we had a party and got home late! PLUS the snaps from today's eppy were so dark! Man, what a show! Roger was amazing, and so was Marie - and my screaming grew even louder today. Rosanna is already getting her creep on, and Craig got even creepier than usual....UGH. And so ANOTHER nightmare for Paul begins. And I think we have a long time till we get to wake up - Paul and US!

Anyway - I will try and work on the pics from today, but no guarantees on getting any to look good enough to post.

ANYBODY ELSE....? -- TK, 20:47:31 10/28/07 Sun
....Gonna be screaming for Paul NOT to do it?

'Cause I will be! I don't want him to marry another 'crazy' woman....now granted, Ro does not have the same insanity level as the nut-job - but she can be just as mean, and current spoilers are indicating the meaness will begin shortly after the wedding....and most likely it will go down hill for Paul from there.

Meg is right on this one - It will be a MISTAKE for Paul to marry Rosanna. A HUGE one. Mark my word.

Hey 45emacrh! Well, I don't feel sorry for her - my sympathy for her became nearly non-existant the minute she lied in court and let Craig walk....what was left of it has been slowly diminishing since then. And the minute she starts more game playing with our guy, it will be gone completely. I didn't-don't-and will never see HER as the victim, here.

Hi, Jen! Wouldn't it be great if he considers NOT marrying the cloaked one? GRIN! I'd love that, too. Oh, she'd better not hurt Paul's baby - nor her cohort Craig. I agree - That would be when we would see the James streak come out in our guy. I would be cheering him on, too. And another good point - Paul's marrying her will be a wake up call for him where she is concerned - Hopefully sooner on that than later. He already suspects things are not quite right. And YES!!! TK is a baaaaad girl - Hee! LOVED his chest in that shot! (NT) -- TK, 19:24:34 10/29/07 Mon

Well what do you know? BOTH Paul and Meg seemed to be buying clues today....for only a few moments, though....dang it. Craig and Ro both did a good job in dodging their questions about what was going on between the dastardly duo - and a good job in providing distractions, whether it was on purpose, or not. Neither of them want Paul or Meg to learn the truth about their scheming together - with good reason. Paul would HATE what Rosanna is doing with his sworn enemy....No matter her reasoning for doing it. Time seems to be on their side, but I am kicking back just waiting for the truth to come out - cuz, we all know it will. And that goes for their future machinations against Paul, too. (Evil grin)

I'm also thinking that the paternity test results will be tampered with Miss Becks. But I also have to wonder if this story is about Paul choosing to be with Meg even though they believe she is carrying Craig's baby. The way that Meg made the tough choice to stand by Paul when Emily was having his baby. It would take time and alot of soul searching on Paul's part. They'd have to realize that would be an uphill battle because Craig would fight tooth and nail to make sure that Paul was no where near his off-spring. But what a glorious ending that would be when they finally found out it is their (PEG'S) love child afterall. (NT) -- schiffeg68, 21:13:49 10/21/07 Sun

Wow! You know what? After my initial cringe at the hard road for Paul and Meg during this ... I have to say ... I LIKE it! It would definately tie into those previous plot threads (which is what Soap does at it's best) and would be GREAT Soap. I would be glued watching Paul wrestle with this kind of dilemma. Accepting "Craig's baby" (and all that entails) and then ... GLORIOUS payoff ... it is Paul's after all. Ummmmmm ummmmmm Good! (NT) -- tat, 04:58:32 10/22/07 Mon

Man, I wish I shared your optimism! I think that this whole "Evan Walsh" storyline with him wanting Craig to get Mont. Ent. involved in the biochem business is going to come into play. I think Craig will find out that there's a possibility that it's Paul's baby, and have Evan Walsh (or someone) (NT) -- MissBecks, 10:31:11 10/21/07 Sun

...continued....have someone re-work lab results so that even if the baby is Paul's ...Craig will make it look like it's HIS child. But what do I know?! LOL but I really hope the writers don't have babies dying, getting switched in the nursery, etc. I hope we find out the real truth about who the father is sooner rather than later.. as for the board trolls (who never watch the show, but still know that Meg "can't have babies"), I wish someone would remind them that Craig "couldn't make babies" once upon a time either. It's called re-writing history, and they love it when it's re-written to favor their fave characters. Wait, how can they have fave characters if they don't watch the show?! LOL (I crack myself up!) (NT) -- MissBecks, 10:34:52 10/21/07 Sun

You're crackin' me up too, Miss Becks ... LOL! But you want to hear something even funnier? "They" have recruited some CarJack and Luke and Noah fans to take a crap in Paul and Meg Posts and whine about Peg "gushing" so that their asses are clean. Wonder what deals were cut there ... evil grin. Promises that if Marie Wilson is fired and RH discredited that these "scabs" will get more time for what they want? I'm leaning that way because some of these posters aren't too bright and are showing their cards. Too funny! (NT) -- tat, 11:56:27 10/21/07 Sun

Anyway, your Evan Walsh/Craig scenario chills me ... because it makes a lot of sense. Groan. But I have to say that your speculation IS optimistic because it rests on the baby being Paul's ... hee!
Ah, it's Soap ... so there will be a lot of angst and missed opportunities and cross purposes ... but I'm still rooting for what I originally said ... "I'm rooting for Meg to be pregnant with Paul's child. And, unlike Gwen and Emily ... a pregnancy free of foetal abuse and neglect."
If I get that ... I'll be one happy camper. If not ... I'll still hang in there. "Tomorrow is another day", Grin! (NT) -- tat, 11:57:43 10/21/07 Sun

Re:
I think Paul and Meg redeemed themselves pretty well for their roles in teh babyswitch....I dont care what anyone says....I think they tried their best where Emily was concerned to keep the baby safe......Meg put Johnny back in Jen's arms.....eventually and finally. PEG saved Ethan's life collectively together.....because Paul took the steps and because Meg believed in him...they made the truth of Jen's illness known to Jen so she had time to take care of her life and have closure with Dusty, Johnny and her family.,,,they saved Dusty's life and brought him home to Jen.......its Paul and Meg's turn for peace......they deserve it.
(NT) -- Jen, 12:59:41 10/21/07 Sun

Great points, Jen (you must watch the Show ... haha!) and I think so too, sigh. Paul AND Meg tried to rectify their wrongs ... and went on to to try to right others. Unfortunately, neither of them has that teflon coating that other characters seem to have (cough...emily...cough) and they seem to be The Unforgiven ... it's a shame. But you know what cheers me up? In Soap, happy characters are generally backburnered characters and I adore RH's portrayal of Paul and am a big fan of MWil and how she handles Meg. So, while Peace would be satisfying ... I also want air time. Hee! (NT) -- tat, 13:42:20 10/21/07 Sun

Great points both of you! Yes, I think Paul and Meg have more than paid for their parts in the baby switch, and Tat, you're right....happy characters equals back-burner, so if I only get happy moments for Peg every so often, it's okay....at least they're still on my screen. i just really wish the writers would give us more motivation for some of Meg's actions. I know that Paul hit the nail on the head when she was leaving the cabin that day about her being afraid, but I'd like to hear some of Meg's private thoughts so I'd understand her better. Hey, I know she truly does love Paul, so that's enough for me for now! (NT) -- MissBecks, 14:35:57 10/21/07 Sun

I wish we had a more obvious window into Meg's thoughts too, Miss Becks. Remember the old days of Soap when characters practically spoke to the camera? Hee! But of course, all the new, hip young viewers crapped on that ... so another soap staple gone.
I gotta say though, that Fridays dialogue cleared up a lot of stuff. In any case ... I'm pretty sure I have a handle on Meg ... but it would be nice to see her voicing what I think. GRIN! (NT) -- tat, 05:06:17 10/22/07 Mon

Hey, Tat - (and every other gal in this topic).......I so get what you are saying, girl!! You have hit every point on the new - and the old, for sure - pregnancies on the show. As you know, I was watching back then when Meg fell and lost her baby. There was NO hysterectomy. It was a rough miscarriage - and the doctors told her it would be very difficult to conceive - NOT impossible. Don't know where the trolls are getting their history info. Extremely difficult does not equal "impossible." I am also rooting for Meg to be pregnant with PAUL'S child - a child from their love for each other. Besides, it's time that Paul had a child, and with a woman he is IN LOVE with to top it off! And man, do I hear ya' about the nut-job and her pregnancy with Paul's child....She alone (for several reasons and actions) is responsible for killing Paul's baby. (And lordy her whoring @ss is coming back on screen this week - GAG!!) (NT) -- TK, 23:44:24 10/21/07 Sun

It is hilarious watching them hanging on to "Meg CAN'T get pregnant!!!" It's like a drowning person reaching for a life preserver (or in this case a death hoo doo ... hee!). We know the real reason why they are NOW such huge "History" pundits. Heh. What's even more ridiculous is that in RL women are told that they can't conceive or bear ... but whoooops! Doctors were wrong. One of my cousins is proof of this. Of course we all tell her (constantly!) that she is going against "History". SNICKER! (NT) -- tat, 05:14:39 10/22/07 Mon

And a little note: Tomorrow is a very special day for my sister, so there may be no snappys posted tomorrow night....I will make it up, though! (NT) -- TK, 23:09:38 10/16/07 Tue

TK...no worries...you are soooo good to us! As for "distracted" Paul, it was a tough day for Peg fans, but I really enjoyed seeing Paul/Will/Barbara all together. That was great! (Not so excited to see Meg attacking Craig....god, she's becoming "Sybil"....multiple personalities!) LOL (NT) -- MissBecks, 04:28:10 10/17/07 Wed

Any day with Barbara is a day with sunshine for me ... hee! Love that woman. Meddle meddle meddle. Hee hee! And Will was so warm with Paul. Finally. It was like the old days. Nice. (NT) -- tat, 03:02:38 10/18/07 Thu

Meg? Yoicks! I get it, I get it ... why the anvils, I don't know. Soap. Eh. She was arranging to make her arranged marriage work because she thought she and Paul was over. It's all about Paul. Heh. And ... now she will definately think her pregnancy is a result of her last night with Craig. Don't work that way, honey. Heh. Personally, I could live happy if I never saw her and Craig "together" again ... and did you see how Craig was working her? Man ... it's still ALL about Paul for him, too. Turn that quadrangle at an angle ... Paul is at the peak. Meg, Rosanna ... even Craig. It's all Paul. And that's the way I like it. Grin! (NT) -- tat, 03:04:08 10/18/07 Thu

Yes, yesterday was a tough PEG day, however seeing Roger smile is something the cheer about. (NT) -- 45emacrh, 07:12:16 10/17/07 Wed

Tough is right. But hey ... I'm tough enough, hee! I love Scott Bryce ... but if I never see him in an "intimate" situation ... I will not complain. Paul on the other hand ... drool. And speaking of ... I'm sure Paul and Ro have been very active, also. We are not seeing that (wahhh! Nekkid Paul!) because it has nothing to do with Meg's finding out she is late. (And man, Meg ... in so many ways. Sigh.) RH knocked me out yet again. He is so complicated. (NT) -- tat, 03:12:26 10/18/07 Thu

And ... speaking of the Quadrangle ... I'm getting a big laugh out of the Moral Minions new slam on Meg in their quest for nastiness. The quad should be checked for STD's, doncha know? Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Yeah ... because Meg must have picked one up from Paul or Craig, I guess ... seeing as how they are the only two men she's been with in two years. Geez. Idiots. (NT) -- tat, 03:28:49 10/18/07 Thu
UM, LOL, TAT! Whenever Im missing 'Nekkid' Paul, I just scroll down a little. Ah, that chest! And those shoulders!! ;) (NT) -- schiffeg68, 07:48:45 10/18/07 Thu

Me too ... and frequently ... grin! Now don't get me wrong, my preference is Paul Nekkid with Meg ... oooooh la la! But I'm jonesin' here. In any case, it was easy to thumb Ro out ... a trick that I used quite frequently with Emily, I might add. Evil Grin! Hoping to get more than a shirtless Paul at the Lake with Meg. What can I say. I'm just a shallow gal when it comes to (ahem) seeing Paul. Oh, yeah. (NT) -- tat, 11:50:28 10/18/07 Thu

Hey, Donna - I LOVED that look! HAHA! It IS priceless! You';re welcome for the snaps! Went wild with this episode, didn't I? Eh, who could blame me? (NT) -- TK, 21:06:33 10/12/07 Fri

Hey, MissBecks!! The man is so fine! There are no words! WOOO! (NT) -- TK, 21:07:58 10/12/07 Fri

I still pinch myself when I think of seeing Roger doing scenes like this. I think because of the longevity (2 years) with Marie now, they're comfortableness in these intimate scenes just leaps out. I mean each time RH has love scenes anymore we get to see more and more, I'm thrilled! BTW, I was hoping to see and join in some catty remarks her about the 'rumored' actress who is thinking about leaving (we all know it's Cady)...claws out anybody?? (NT) -- Tuggs, 08:28:49 10/12/07 Fri

Hey, Tuggs! There is a very apparent aire of comfort between these two actors - and it makes their scenes stand out. I am just THRILLED, too! And hey.....You wanna talk about 'blinky' and her possible 'I'm so unhappy I'm leaving after only a few months' fit? Or how we all KNEW she would be this way??? Have at it. MEEEEOOOOWWW. LOL! (NT) -- TK, 21:16:30 10/12/07 Fri

It's all about trust I guess, Tuggs. All I know is that their chemistry is amazing ... They make me believe in their scenes. And seeing RH push the envelope? I'm loving it.I'll stick one claw out on Cady ... hee! But it's something I've said all along. She knew what was what going in. She isn't on contract. Ball's in her court ... or not. Grin.

MORE FAV THINGS THAT HAPPENED ON TUESDAY - Mine:
When Paul was saying, "I give up. I surrender, I can't fight anymore. I said some unforgivable things to you, and I've been a fool. I fought so hard to get back to you." WOOHOO - and his voice as he spoke these words.....Whoa! (TK is once again fanning herself thinking about what we saw Tuesday!) (NT) -- TK, 00:01:17 10/11/07 Thu

Oh, my GOODNESS! TK, TK, TK! D r o o o o o l!I'm taking one of your snaps and making a banner. Be back later ... because I have a LOT to gush about ... whooooo! Is it HOT in here, or what? Hee! (NT) -- tat, 06:14:08 10/11/07 Thu

Rats! I'm having a really hard time optimizing the banner because I decided to go GIF. (Too many gorgeous snappies ... I just couldn't pick one ... hee!) This is going to take me awhile. Oh, sweet agony! Grin. (NT) -- tat, 11:05:27 10/11/07 Thu

Anyway ... this is out of sequence to the snaps ... but because I just watched Tuesday (again ... ahem) it's fresh in my mind. I LOVED Paul's demeanor during the whole last segment. Meg might have denied and ran ... but Paul was still on a high. Boy, was he in a goooood mood. RH just rocks ... he can play all the subtext like no one else. Love him! (NT) -- tat, 11:11:13 10/11/07 Thu

On second thought ... I'm not speaking out of sequence, really. Behold the reason for Paul's good mood. Grin! (NT) -- tat, 11:13:05 10/11/07 Thu

YAY, Tat! Can hardly wait to see your banner! And I agree - Paul's demeanor in that last segment was TERRIFIC! He was so giddy! LOL! I ADORE how Roger plays the subtext in those scenes - he is amazing! LOVE HIM! (NT) -- TK, 21:59:05 10/11/07 Thu

OMG..those arms. And I'm not talking about Marie's, but gosh darn if she isn't the luckiest actress around. (NT) -- Donna aka schiffeg68, 16:59:26 10/11/07 Thu

Re: Luscious is the only word that I think truly explains how positivley beautiful Roger and Marie portray Paul and Meg! There's a sweet, yummy, lip smacking element to their lovemaking each and every time......their voices, their connection as the underlying story....beneath their words........their history....their tenderness.......and their incredible sexiness together that is unsurpassed in al of daytime IMO!!!!!! More, more, more! Pretty please with the sugar on top!!!!!! (NT) -- Jen, 05:01:35 10/12/07 Fri

Re: FAVORITE QUOTES FROM TUESDAY.....While we wait for more snappys - Let's talk about our favorite Paul quotes from Tuesday's episode! I'll start with one of mine (he was saying so many incredible things!):
"That's why you're with Craig, isn't it? He doesn't love you the way I love you. He doesn't make you feel the way I make you feel. That's okay with you because you're safe. You're safe with Craig because your heart is already spoken for." (NT) -- TK, 00:34:19 10/10/07 Wed

What a great idea, TK! Cause ... weep and moan ... Paul probably won't be on again 'til next week. Weeeeeeeep!
Anyway ... you know what tickled me? Right after your snaps, Meg started to get up and they tussled with her blouse. Too cute! Paul had a huge smile on face and was thoroughly enjoying the little battle. Hee! And then he said "You're not going anywhere, we're not finished."
Eeeeeeee! In the moment AND prophetic and Hee! very very hot. Wheh! (NT) -- tat, 03:23:20 10/10/07 Wed

ITA with everything y'all said! And the shirtless scenes when he was standing up....man, RH is still working out...dayum! I am not very pleased with Meg right now, but who cares?! I'm totally enjoying Paul scenes! More Paul next week, I hope! (NT) -- MissBecks, 04:31:35 10/10/07 Wed

"You're Not Going Anywhere - We're Not Finished!" YES, Tat and Cataz! Also one of my favorite lines!! VERY PROPHETIC, Tat! Glad you like the idea of spreadin' these snappys out. I just ADORED that tussle over her shirt! Paul is just soooooooo FINE!!....and HOT! (NT) -- TK, 23:44:49 10/10/07 Wed

Well, it was a FANTASTIC show for so many reasons! Entertaining and delightful. Lots of honey, a pinch of salt and dash of spice. Very Yummy. I loved the irony and the back and forth between the quad. Loved all the Paul & Meg stuff and loved Paul's reaction to running into Rosanna at Al's.... his phone didn't ring. Bwhahahaha.......it looked like it was ringin' to me! VBG!!.
I also LOVED Paul walking in the police station and telling Craig.... "Craig, I have a cabin in those woods. If some guy is attacking women, I should know. ". HAHAHAHA!!!! Yep, Paul.....You Should know! LOVED it, LOVE HIM! ! I can't help but love the gloating going on.....Paul's such a Guy!!.
And I have to mention the music and editing....awesome stuff. I know some people don't like the hand held camera action but I thought it was very effective for those scenes in the diner between Paul & Ro. (NT) -- cataz, 05:00:27 10/10/07 Wed

It was a FANTASTIC show, Cataz!! I agree with ya' on all points! The quad is the best thing goin' on the show right now! (NT) -- TK, 23:47:50 10/10/07 Wed

I loved all the lines you gals mentioned above, plus these: Paul: It doesn't matter if you are married to craig. You belong to me. You'll always be mine. In every way. and this one: Meg: How many times did you promise me, this was it? But you couldn't stop, paul. Neither could I. And it almost killed you. And I'm not going to risk that again. I was shocked that Paul stated that Craig needed to be killed. LOL! But hey, whatever works. ;) (NT) -- Donna aka schiffeg68, 07:40:46 10/10/07 Wed

Hey Donna....yeah, it shocked me that Paul said Craig needed to be killed too! Don't be shy Paul, tell us how you really feel! LOL But Meg, grow a pair and leave Craig once and for all! You do not have to stay with him...go live on the farm with the rest of the cast! LOL (NT) -- MissBecks, 10:20:15 10/10/07 Wed
Hey, Donna! I LOVED the "You belong to me. You'll always be mine. In every way." line!! It was really surprising that Paul said Craig should be killed right out loud to Meg! But I agree - whatEVER it takes!! GO PAUL! (NT) -- TK, 23:53:44 10/10/07 Wed

SOME THURSDAY PAUL SNAPPYS! -- TK, 20:16:02 10/04/07 Thu

WOW - ROGER ROCKS!!!! Still not convinced that Paul is on the up and up, here....Even though he seemed a tad more sincere today, he is still clearly running from his true feelings - and I am not just talking about running from Meg. He's also hiding from how Rosanna's betrayal in the courtroom struck him. I am still in the camp that says Paul WANTS to mean everything he is saying, and I still feel something lying just below the surface....WHAT IS IT??? Dang it.

'WHAT IS IT?' Maybe Meg can get that (or at least some true feelings) out of him today. HE HE. Thanks for the snappys. (NT) -- schiffeg68, 03:41:08 10/05/07 Fri

Man - Did she EVER get something outta Paul on Friday!! Hee! Including his true feelings for her. (NT) -- TK, 22:45:34 10/07/07 Sun

When I first heard Paul tell Ro that they would get married on Halloween, I said to myself "What?" One of my favorite episodes from 2003 (10/31): James: "I knew you would be thinking of me this evening. It warms your father's heart that you remembered him on his birthday." Paul replied, "I forgot just why I did hate Halloween, all those tortured souls wandering the earth." And then Paul answers his door to find Barbara on the other side. RH, Colleen and Anthony were fabulous in this episode. But the more I thought about it, the more it does make sense that Paul would marry Ro on James' b'day as she did betray Paul with James in order to get baby Cabot back. (NT) -- nwdreamer, 16:22:46 10/06/07 Sat

And on Friday's show, Roger just broke my heart when Paul told Meg that he couldn't stand it if anything happened to her and she thought that he hated her. The emotion in Roger's voice made me cry and took me back to when Rose died thinking Paul had poisoned her. Paul told Ro that it was a sentence worse than death that he didn't have a chance to tell Rose how much he cared for her and that he would never hurt her. But that's Roger. . .he packs so much emotion into a scene using his incredible voice, facial expressions and body language that I'm constantly blown away by his phenomenal portrayal of Paul Ryan. ROGER ROCKS!!! (NT) -- nwdreamer, 16:27:20 10/06/07 Sat
Hey, nwdreamer....The Halloween wedding is just ONEof the things that has me thinking something is just wrong with this picture.....There seems to be something I can't quite figure out here.

Re: Im not even sure how to put into words how amazingly gorgeous Roger and Marie played these scenes. The mutual smiling took my breath away. Id love to think that they are both very happy with their "story"...and that Paul and Meg are a story to smile about. I was moved by their acting choices in all of the scenes. And I wrote them and told them so. I usually can ramble on and gush about them, but frankly, they took my breath away on Friday....and my voice ....cause im still trying to formulate proper adjectives to describe their lovliness. Pauls happiness...and Meg's contentment was soooooo marked. Its a shame they're outc asts in the World they live in.....cause together....they are so beautiful...and secure. GO PAUL AND MEGM!!!!!!!!!

SOME WEDNESDAY PAUL 'Did he REALLY mean it?' SNAPPYS! -- TK, 22:52:00 10/03/07 Wed

I MADE IT!! Phone lines are back in tact - after some idiot dug them up - ARGH!!! BACK ON TOPIC.....DID PAUL MEAN WHAT HE SAID TODAY? My first reaction was the same as before - I thought he really wanted to mean what he was saying to Rosanna....then I re-watched a couple of times, and there was something I just couldn't quite pinpoint about him. For example - that look he gave her when she asked if he could forgive her for letting Craig go. And other subtle little nuances that were just there - below the surface. And I was like 'Is he playing her? Setting something up?' That's just one of the things I love about Roger - that he can do that. Keep you guessing about where his character is actually coming from. Today was like the toss of a coin....And then the previews - He wants to get married on Halloween....and day for TRICKS and treats. I am not sure which side of the coin I am going to have to go with for today - but it (for sure) was like watching an episode of The Twilight Zone. Was my initial reaction correct? Or was my impression after seeing the clips a few more times the right way to think?
TK

[Edit]

Replies:

Like you, TK ... my initial impression was that he meant what he was saying (at least on a conscious level.) He wants his "princess on a pedestal" relationship with Rosanna back. He is furious with Meg ... and very very hurt. He wants his feelings for her to be firmly in the past. But, intellectually wanting something ... and actually feeling it are two very different things. Like a lot of people Paul thinks that if he wants it to be so ... it already is. Basic "emotional survival" trap. So yes ... I firmly believe that Paul was telling the truth. It's just not the "real" truth. Hee! And isn't that always the way in these kinds of circumstances. Sigh. Puck summed it up in Midsummer's Night Dream when he was laughing about human love. "What fools these mortals be." Yep. (NT) -- tat, 03:10:59 10/04/07 Thu

But, again like you ... there was an undercurrent that I couldn't quite put my finger on. It didn't seem like Paul would fold so easily. Yeah ... he's desperate to move on and start a life anew ... or would that be a (re)new with Ro? Grin. But for all of Paul's good intentions I just can't see him resolving his vendetta against Craig so easily. Nor should he in my opinion. Craig should pay. In any case ... yeah ... this kind of thing is why I adore RH. Never a two dimensional reading. There is always breadth and depth in his portrayal of Paul. He rocks. (NT) -- tat, 03:14:25 10/04/07 Thu

And speaking of Craig ... wasn't it interesting that amidst all of Ro's "truthiness" she neglected to mention the BIGGIE. She is colluding with Craig. Once again she has gone behind Paul's back (last week and then again this week) fell back into gaming with Craig ... and is manipulating Paul's Life (and love). Again. Ro has gone back to her old ways. She's using the same "fragile flower" affect with Paul, too. It would seem real ... except we saw her barking at Craig to put the blocks to Meg. Heh. Poor poor Ro, indeed. Bull Shit. (NT) -- tat, 03:16:06 10/04/07 Thu

Ahhhh....Yes, Tat - The BIGGIE! She didn't mention her plotting behind Paul's back with his enemy, did she? So - we DO NOT have full disclosure. And you saw that something that lies beneath the surface, too? Good. I am not just seeing things - LOL! Another great point you bring up is how we see the real Rosanna when she is out of Paul's presence - Wonder when he will see it, too? I agree that Paul WANTS to move on - desperately trying to recapture a moment in time - to save himself from his self-proclaimed 'addiction' to Meg.....I just don't believe for a second that it's working. I don't see him giving up his mission to get Craig this easily, either - In fact I am banking on him NOT letting it all go. Think I will lose my money? Hee! (NT) -- TK, 20:25:03 10/04/07 Thu

I didn't buy what he was saying about Meg....was like he was using Meg's name for everything he wanted to say about Ro. But maybe thats just my utter addiction to Paul and Meg rearing its head. When he talked about the man he was/is.......that was the man that Meg brought out in him..and got him to realize existed. His eyes told me one thing...and his mouth told me another. (which is the magic of Roger Howarth).....his tearful grimmace as he hugged Rosanna...and her wimpering as she hugged him seemed profoundly sad to me...on both their sides. Craig does need to pay. But is Pauls latest ideas on how to make him pay really the best bet? Wouldnt having everything that CRaig ever wanted be Pauls greatest revenge on Craig? Plus the revenge has never gotten him anywhere he wanted to be. So I dont know what I want him to do.....except have what he wants and be happy......like he was with Meg. That I know I want. (NT) -- Jen, 05:07:30 10/04/07 Thu

YES, Jen! His lips say yes - while his eyes say no! LOL! I guess that is what has got me thinking he is not on the up and up, here. It is the magic of Roger. (I'd LOVE it if he was doing some snowing of someone other than himself!!) And the ever elusive happiness for Paul. Only moments here and there for our guy. I want him to secure that 'happy', too.....Sigh. (NT) -- TK, 20:40:50 10/04/07 Thu

The greatest thing about today's show, without a doubt, was the previews! LOL That's because we now know that Roger is on all 5 days this week!!! Yippee!! I'm doing my happy dance...woo hoo!! -- MissBecks, 12:59:45 10/03/07 Wed

You know I've always said that it's IMPOSSIBLE to please everyone. Everyone's tastes, likes and dislikes are completely different. All ATWT can do is try and come up with compelling stories that hopefully 'most' of the audience will like. I don't think soaps has changed, I think they are running out of ideas to keep things new and fresh. So the fans complain when things start repeating themselves. I think writers are in a constant struggle with coming up with something new and will surprise the audience. Everyone loved the Carly storyline when she was dying. No one wanted her to die. Yet they came up with something that would keep her alive and hopefully surprise the audience, but it brings her character into moral dilemma. And the Carly fans are now upset. I think being a soap writer is most times a thankless job, but they do their best. As long as I get RH and MW on my screen most days a week, I'll be a happy and faithful ATWT viewers for many years to come. (NT) -- schiffeg68, 08:59:51 10/03/07 Wed

Schiffeg ... I think it's hard for the Show to present something fresh and new when all the plot points have been telegraphed in advance by spoilers and spumors. By the time the action actually unfolds on screen ... it's old news and very stale and speculated to death. Besides ... the ancient Greek Dramatists said there are only Nine Stories ... and all writing just spins on them. Good point about Carly, too. People have already made up their minds about her ... and the scenes haven't even hit the screen yet. They should also realize that moral dilemmas are the fuel that propels Soap. Soap is ... when all is said and done a Morality Play. (NT) -- tat, 04:09:44 10/04/07 Thu

AMEN, Tat on the ...OVER analyzed spoilers and specs!! Spoilers seem to be leaked earlier than ever. How could anything be fresh? (NT) -- cataz, 05:59:25 10/04/07 Thu

I think overall the in order for something to hold an audience's attention, it has to be outrageous. And I remember being a little girl and watching "stories" with my grandmothers. The Who's the Daddy, amnesia, cheating/lying/manipulating stuff was unheard of on TV back in the 70's (and somewhat 80's). But now, the crap that's on TV (i.e. reality shows) are filled with all of that stuff, so there's no more "edge" to soaps...more... (NT) -- MissBecks, 08:35:46 10/03/07 Wed

I am so tired of people wanting a soap to show people working ... you're kidding, right? I'll videotape myself for y'all....that's about how boring it would be if we saw it on a soap. And as for people in and out of jail, in and out of comas, etc.....you have to totally suspend reality in your mind to watch a soap...stop making it real life like trying to prove how the law really wouldn't allow that and doctors should have done this or that....it's a SOAP! it's fiction! In conclusion (LOL), I do think that soaps have tried to keep up, but I do think it's the audience that's changed, and our culture has become more and more "open" about what's allowed on TV (remember when Mick Jagger had to say "let's spend some TIME together" on Ed Sullivan)? There's only so much more soaps can do to keep it edgy! (NT) -- MissBecks, 08:39:31 10/03/07 Wed

Count me in with ya, Miss Becks! If I hear one more time about "work" it's one more time too many. Geez. Ya know ... I wish Paul would work ... just to shut the yaps up on the boards. And you're right ... if I want so-called realism with medical and legal points ... I would NOT look to Soap to provide it. Because REALLY ... if Soap followed Real Life Protocols ... there wouldn't be any Stories. Characters would be in jail for good ... people would be dead and rotting in the ground forever. It's interesting however that the very same people who demand realism in writing ... are the first to then demand UN-realistic writing if it furthers what they want for their fave(s). Huh. Imagine that. Grin. (NT) -- tat, 04:11:14 10/04/07 Thu

Well, my answer is two-fold on both issues. Yes soaps have changed - in the aspect of how long (or rather SHORT) the story arcs are these days. I remember in the good ol' days - stories would play out for months and months before any resolving - or payoff - would happen....and we LOVED watching it! Of course it would frustrate us to no end that our fav characters - or fav couples - would be two seconds too late to learn the truth - or would ALWAYS miss their lovers by minutes - and then all hell would break loose! But we dang sure would never miss a minute of it! BUT the formula of soap opera pretty much remains the same. And it HAS to in order to survive. It is an art form that still relies on the original formula for its longevity. (NT) -- TK, 23:13:38 10/03/07 Wed

As for the audience - I don't believe for a second that the general soap opera audience has changed. And I base that on folks I know who stay away from all of the 'online' - you call them CRITICS (and they aren't even good critics, because they don't even begin to understand that which they constantly bitch about) and I just call them COMPLAINERS. Soap fans LOVE the genre, and like I said above - although they get frustrated with the near-misses and storyline twists - they STILL love to watch their stories. The internet has provided an outlet for those who certainly must bitch 24/7 - and they don't just do it in the soap opera communities - they are EVERYwhere on the net. It is truly a reflection of sad, lonely, and rejected souls. And to top it off they ALL believe they can write soaps better than the pros! HA! Soaps would have been dead decades ago, if these idiots were in charge - I'd lay money on that. (NT) -- TK, 23:26:57 10/03/07 Wed

And the constant whining about characters being written out of character doesn't make the least bit of sense. (Not to mention it shows how little they truly know about said characters...) Soap opera and the soap characters have GOT to always be fluid/flexible - always changing to a certain extent. Never of course veering too far from the original formula of the story-telling, though. And that is exactly how soaps and the characters are still managed today. They HAVE to be. Those crying about the latest Carly spoilers (and don't even get me started on the whole 'spoiler hysteria' aspect of the onliners) for example - all I can say is they obviously don't KNOW the character AT ALL!! It would be in CLASSIC Carly style to pull what the spoilers say she is about to do. SHEESH!! Conflict. CONFLICT is what soaps thrive on - and the audience, too. Period. (NT) -- TK, 23:44:22 10/03/07 Wed

Ah, TK! Hee! Yeah ... you are right about Story Arc lengths. Sigh. I hate that. But you know ... I think writers now think that viewers have a short attention span and are no longer capable of sustaining any kind of long term thought processes. And maybe they are right. The boards constantly scream ... move it up ... move it on! People no longer seem to relish the long view. They want what they want ... and they want it immediately. Again ... they don't want Soap.
And ... I agree that there is an incredible gap in the perception (and appreciation!) of Soap between the offline and "unspoilered" audience ... and the Online Writer Wannabes. Geez. If they are so good, why ain't they in the biz? Huh? Uh huh!
And you're right ... the Carly Conundrum really illustrates what we have spoken about in the past. Sigh. (NT) -- tat, 04:13:23 10/04/07 Thu

Well, I would agee that the basic soap formula is very much intact it's just that, like TK, said, has much shorter overall story archs. I like more umbrella type stories where the characters are all integral but I think budget reductions has sliced into that and now we seem to have more characters isolated in their own bubbles more than what used to be. I also think the twists come more often and turn harder than they used to. I think there is more emphasis on shock value and the payoffs just don't come often enough. But as a hole, it's all still very much SOAP. (NT) -- cataz, 04:50:33 10/04/07 Thu

As to the audience......I think we're more impatient. Where would we be without the FF button, Where would we be without the Flood of spoilers. Most likely in a much better mindset.....grin! People complain about daytime being filled with unbelieveable plots and yet PrimeTime is launching a show with Cavemen. Which, BTW, I won't be watching but I just had to make a point. ... Oh and what about that nightime soap....Desperate Housewives? I don't watch that either, but I did see someone stick a barbeque fork in the belly of a pregnant woman. Was she done? Hey.....that's entertainment.....Just give me my ATWT, thank you very much. (NT) -- cataz, 05:17:19 10/04/07 Thu

Hee....the "pregnant" woman on D.Housewives is wearing a pad....she's faking a preg, so no one knows that her daughter (shipped off) is really p.g. The "fake p.g." woman will pass off her daughter's baby as her own....classic soap!!! (NT) -- MissBecks, 06:13:31 10/04/07 Thu

TK just called me on her cell. Her phone lines are down and there is no estimate from the phone company as to when the repairs will be completed. No phone line ... no TK online access ... no PICTURES from today.

Wahhhhhhhh! And man ... today! Wheh!

In any case ... she's dying to get them up and wants y'all to know why she might not be able to.

As for myself ... I am dying to discuss your posts, schiffeg and Miss Becks ... but I am literally grabbing a few minutes away from a very busy Family Night. I'll be back first thing in the morning.

'Nite all!

I love how the ante was upped today, by Paul figuring out something was up - he was excellent! THREE of the quad are now playing the game. Can Meg be far behind?

Oooooh, TK! Great snaps! I loved that our guy knew that everything was not (Ro)sy about that little quislings testimony well before the phone cam reveal. Yeah. I loved how RH played those scenes. Man ... I'm really hoping he lets her have it today. What she did surpassed all her previous betrayals of Paul. I didn't think it was possible ... but dipsy doodle did it. (NT) -- tat, 02:23:46 10/03/07 Wed

You know ... I can understand Ro not caring about how Craig has gone after Paul and his family ... Craig destroyed Barbara, framed Paul for Rose's death, the whole Jennifer mess and then the baby switch. I mean, it was just Paul, right? And why should she really care about the baby switch, right? It was just another cute Craigism, right? But where is girlfriend's sense of self-preservation? It's all okey dokey NOW that Craig deliberately ran her off the road and then terrified her into a coma at the Hospital? Man. I always suspected Rosanna was stupid when she kowtowed to James ... but now I know she is beyond stupidity. Letting Craig go free after he almost killed her ... and took away two years of her life ... puts Rosanna in the "I'm really really Stupid" Hall of Fame. And conjoined with that ... actually plotting with Craig ... puts her in a category that I don't even have a name for yet. South Park's appellation "R-tard" maybe? (NT) -- tat, 02:25:07 10/03/07 Wed

And hey, Cataz? You know how we were talking about taking the knife out of Paul's back that Ro so blithely drove home downbelow? Well ... I'm betting that we ain't going to get a Lady Macbeth scene out of her. She has Paul's blood on her hands ... but she won't care about washing it off. No. She'll expect Paul to lick it off ... like she expected him to ignore how she betrayed him with James so many times ... because, well ... her justifications are just so righteous. Ro is always right. Paul is always wrong ... even when he is right ... grin! (NT) -- tat, 02:54:42 10/03/07 Wed

I got a chuckle out of this scene.... Paul called Rosanna said he was out of line and wanted to talk and work things out. Please come home. What does Rosanna do? Does she rush out the door to her 'LOVE', no, she calls Craig, goes to the diner ofr lunch and meets with him about eliminating Meg from the equation. I felt like I missed something, but Rosanna wasn't acting like someone that wanted to go home and work things out! (NT) -- schiffeg68, 09:15:41 10/03/07 Wed

LMAO - At those who seem so shocked by what happened in that court room....Someone should tell them this is Rosanna!!! The woman who all but twisted our guy into a pretzel - and then BROKE him - more than once! ARGH! And Paul was 'killed' again today - by Rosanna's betrayal - brought about by listening to his enemy. She was almost equal to Shakespeare's Othello, today. Oh yea - this SHOULD come back and bite her on the @ss. OMIGOSH!! Paul's face when she backed down - his voice when he called out to her!! (And a credit to Meg today - she seemed to be the only one who bought a clue about what was happening in that courtroom....or at least she knew something untoward was happening.) And how Paul was reacting to Ro at Fairwinds...."Really? Then you shouldn't have lied." 'Course, she will most likely be lying again tomorrow, trying to soothe him over. "I never really remembered, Paul! I was lying all along about it - to make you feel happy!" What the ??? (C'mon, buy a clue now, Paul!!!) I hope we don't have to wait too long before he catches her in a little tete a tete with the Craigster. THAT I wanna see!

After Rosanna lied and said she couldn't remember, Meg sat back as befuddled as everyone else. She almost seemed upset that 'the truth' didn't come out. I didn't expect her suspicians to continue. RH was as phenominal as ever in those scenes! (NT) -- schiffeg68, 04:14:13 10/02/07 Tue

One can only hope that Meg finally realizes the deep game going on with Craig and Ro. Sigh. And yeah ... RH rocked. As did my Babsy ... grin! Man ... gooood good soap . I wanted to smack the smug off Craig's face ... shake Ro until her hair fell back into curls ... and hug our guy. Well, at least take the knife out of his back ... grin! (NT) -- tat, 04:26:06 10/02/07 Tue

It was great watching Meg put the pieces together. She's taken plenty of time to do it, but it appears she may be getting the picture after all. Come on Meg!! Maybe she'll be the one who actually brings Craig down on her own. Thumbs down on Rosanna for sticking the knife in Paul's back. I don't care what she saw on that phone, it was Craig who swiped 2 years from her, and this is how she repays Paul for bringing her back to life. Bad Rosanna. ... and the story continues..... YAY!! (NT) -- cataz, 05:03:00 10/02/07 Tue

A BIG Good Grief, Gal! on the perfidious Ro. I'm never calling Meg an idiot again. Ro has more than superseded that position. Grrrrrrr. Ro RO Ro ... can just row her boat out of here as far as I'm concerned. And ... that might happen. Rumors are that Cady is unhappy with the writing and might leave. I don't know why ... she didn't want to work with RH the last time around ... so what is she unhappy about NOW? What a diva. She knew what the story was when she signed on. I just hope Cady doesn't mess up the Story again. Because this is sooooooooo good! I was irritated by the 45 second interspersing of the court scenes throughout the Show at first ... but you know ... it really did highlight the drama. Really looking forward to today.
