Okay... I see a he said, she said...type talk show with Brad and Katie.

 

[TinkerBess_SnowTori]

I fast forward when lilly and Faith are on.

No kidding - all Lily ever does anymore is whine about her weight, pop pills and sigh when she see someone slim. get over it.

I like Faith - but not her storyline - might get interesting with her involvement with little "what is his name?" who is leading her down a wild path!!

and do you think that was his hand or just a glove in the dirt? I didn't get to see the previews for next week.

Amber and Ali met in LA some time ago, but fairly recently, at some skeezy bar in Venice where they were both working. They decided internet porn was a great idea. They attracted a stalker.

Meanwhile in Oakdale big sis/mom Emily has become a hooker herself and sees little sis/daughter Ali in a one of her homemade porn videos while servicing one of her own customers (no word on whether that video co-stars Amber) and she herself blows into Genoa City on 3/27 to find out where Ali is now, via Amber.

So EMILY goes to Y&R to find Alison,..even though Alison has already left to go back to oakdale???

Also,

The internet porn stuff will be revealed in back story on the internet soaplet starring Amber and Ali called L.A. Diaries, running one episode per week starting 2/22, on cbs.com/innertube.

Oh, and Ali's a crystal meth addict.

Deliverance for Y&R fans will be in April, when Ali and Emily are safely back in Oakdale where they belong, and fingers crossed Amber has left for... where ever...

 

[beattyfamily]

Oh well, unfortunately, it wasn't the original actress playing Ali yesterday on Y&R. I'm bummed.

 

[Jennifer S]

So Alison is coming back? Wonder what happened with her and Aaron? I liked the old Ali but couldn't see her playing a hooker. This story sounds like it could be good.

On a side note I HATE Meg and Craig - yuck. I want Rosanna back and to be w/ Paul.

It's about time Will got Gwen a real ring

 

[beattyfamily]

I agree with you, Jennifer S. I still can't stand the NuCraig. YUCK. I'm not fond of Meg for some reason either. I don't want her with anyone!

I so want Roseanna back. I loved her.

I do not like Gwen's suddenly new, longer hair.

 

[Jennifer S]

I was thinking the same thing today about Gwen's hair. It looks fake. She needs a cut.

Wonder why Casey isn't going to be there? I guess Gwen and Maddie aren't going to be in jail then.

Wonder why Casey isn't going to be there? I guess Gwen and Maddie aren't going to be in jail then.

I noticed that too. I read awhile ago that Casey was leaving the show but maybe its just that this is a continuation of Gwen's musical career and Casey really doesn't have anything to do with that...also I noticed no Adam either but I'm not surprised by that one.

Emily spoiler and some future spoilers:

ATWT's Emily:
It's hard out here for a HO

Emily's new career as a prostitute takes a violent turn this week on ATWT. "It doesn't take long for her to have a bad john," sighs KMH(Emily). "Bad" is putting it mildly, when Dusty and Emily's potential advertiser, Eliot, discovers that he's been in bed with Em before--literally. "She meets him next day at an impromptu business meeting," explains Hensley. " After he's given her inside information and shared some things without knowing that she's a newswoman." After covering up her libidinous link to Eliot in front of Dusty, she agrees to go up to his hotel room. It's there that the jilted John exacts his revenge. " He turns on her in a way she's not prepared for," warns Hensley. " He physically attacks her, its gruesome."
So gruesome that mom Susan suspects the worst and calls and already worried Dusty. When Dusty confronts Em about her bruises, the unhappy hooker breaks down. "Dusty thinks she had a one night stand with a guy who beat her up and she's too embarrassed to say anything about it." previews Hensley. " So she gives him the idea that she's done and has learned her lesson."
Has she? Nope. " She continues on her merry way," sighs Hensley. " It's pathetic, isn't it?"

A New triangle for Katie?

Since Simon and Mike's departures, ATWT's Katie has found surprising solace with Jack while tangling with Brad at work lately. Any soap fan could spot the obvious triangle in the works for the town pariah and the Sndyer boys, but portrayer Terri Colombino is hoping the show doesn't rush things. "I don't want her to move on right way. It's too fast; no one will by it, " believes the actress, adding that Katie is "not at all looking for romance anyway." Still, she does accept Jack's friendly invitation to a hockey game this week. " He's just trying to cheer her up and kind of needs cheering up himself, which I don't think he even realizes," says Colombino. " Carly's gone and both of the boys said no to the hockey game, so he's lonely, too. It's not a romantic thing, it's more like, 'My brother's being an *** to you, so lets go chill out.' She has a great time with him. " That is, until Katie gets beaned by a stray hockey puck, leaving her with a very TV-unfriendly black eye. "Brad takes full advantage of that and decides to steal her thunder," she says. " Kind of reminiscent about what Katie did to Molly [when trying to steal her WOAK job.] Karma's finally catching up to her." Despite Jack's urging for compassion on Brad's part Katie gets her feelings hurt again when her co-host snags her interview segment and then insults her. "She's rude to him, too" admits Colombino. " But that's his M.O. with Katie. He keeps driving it home: 'No wonder you're alone.' So she's not to fond of him. Brad thinks she's just mad at guys and she's taking it out on him. Which is true. But so far, they don't lke each other at all."
So no romantic sparks there, for now, but the friendship with Jack deepens. " I love working with Michael Park, Jack; its so different than anyone I've ever worked with. Plus, we're good friends in real life and never thought that that would be a possibility," says Colombino. " It was a little weird at first to even think about it, but now it's kind of making sense. Because he's so serious and she's such a flighty mess, that it would be nice if they could just have fun together." But while Katie's dealing with her nontriangle, ex-husband and best friend Henry finally gets the girl: Katie's current nemesis, Vienna, who is so enamored after their night of passion that she forgets all about the Snyders entirely. Katie won't find out about it this week, but Colombino predicts trouble. " That's sacred ground to Katie," she laughs.

Who's coming:
David Oliver Cohen and Ian Hoge (Kip and Jared): Casey's troubles still aren't over: These two come to collect what he owes on February 27th.
Troy Britton Johnson (Lawyer): This legal eagle has bad news for fugitive aider and abettor Vienna (Ewa da Cruz) on February 27th.

VCR Alert:
As the world turns:
Vienna and Henry snuggle up on Wednesday, Feb 28. " They could have ended up clashing, but they don't It's a beutiful melting pot together, " smiles Ewa da Cruz( Vienna)... Lily is crushed by Faith's accusations on Friday, March 2.

What will happen:
Keeping a secret becomes difficult for Gwen and Maddie when Jade starts digging.
Emily finds herself in a situation she can't handle
Paul's latest vision involves tragedy and baby Ethan.

 

[r3ngels]

No not Henry and Vienna... he is one of the only one's I like on the show right not.

And remind me who Ethan is... Lily's baby ?

 

[beattyfamily]

Henry IS my favorite on the show! But I'm kind of glad he's getting some 'action'.

Yes, Ethan is Lily's baby.

 

[r3ngels]

Thanks Beatty... I am glad he is getting action but not crazy about Vienna at all. I was hoping she would be on her way out.

 

[december]

Oh please don't let Lily's baby die! I'm so sick of people dying on this show! I'm still waiting for Adam to pop up.

I say bring on the Henry/Vienna pairing. I love Henry, and Vienna seems like his kinda girl.

I just read this RUMOR:

I was told today, by someone who, evidently, has an "in" that yesterday (2-23) was Jeff Meek's (Craig) last day on the set of ATWT!!!!

According to the spumor, he has been working furiously to get as many episodes "in the can" as possible, before being replaced by Scott Bryce (original Craig).

Additionally, the episodes have to do with Craig taking over WorldWide. (Just my speculation, here, but this may have to do with why Craig keeps encouraging Lily to take the diet pills. Craig may be in cahoots with the babyfood ladies).

This (bringing SB back) is all a move to bring up the ATWT ratings and futher information is that Chris Goutman's (executive producer) contact has only been renewed for one year and ATWT has only been renewed for one year.

Apparently, heads are swimming ,as well as rolling, at ATWT among the actors and staff, because this seems to be an all out (if not last ditch) effort to bring up the ratings, or else.

Normally, I would not have brought this to the board, but it is expected that this will all come out by Monday, anyway.

I am personally shocked, because I feel JM has been pretty well accepted and I am not certain replacing him with SB will make all that much difference at this point. IMHO there are other changes that could have a much bigger impact on ratings, if TPTB would only listen to the fans.

I hope none of this is true, but I rarely hear a rumor of this type that doesn't have legs.

 

[december]

I loved Scott Bryce as Craig. I also loved Hunt Block, but I hate this new guy. As others have said, he is too much like James. There is nothing loveable about him. Scott Bryce has a softer look. I really hope this is true.
