Maybe Emma and Meg are with Katie. I'm sure they're not at home with Mama Celeste, stirring up a pot of sauce.

The burning money business is plain silly. As you said, if you don't want it, give it to someone who does. Can you imagine how fun it would be to hand out bundles of money to strangers on the street? Or to walk into the office of your favorite charity and hand them a old bag of money?

And no one - NO ONE - who learned the news today even thought to ask about how Katie was doing.
Sorry, but I don't have a lot of sympathy. This is the same person whose first instinct, upon learning of the death of the "best friend" whose husband she slept with, was to run out and buy a diamond ring for herself to "celebrate life." The same person who had no qualms about begging her other "best friend"-- a frail, elderly woman-- to take responsibility for a car accident she caused. The same person who at one wedding expected her former husband-- who was still pathetically in love with her-- to perform the ceremony, and at another wedding lined up all of her sexual conquests (except one) in a row so that she could drink in her own desirability one last time before she took those laughably meaningless "sacred vows" for the umpteenth time. (Lord knows I could go one but I won't)
Am I open to them redeeming Katie now? Sure, why not? But for YEARS she has been about NOTHING but the "happiness she soooo deserves" while ignoring the suffering of those around her, even her siblings and supposed friends. If Katie was alone today, if no one asked how she was... it's because she's reaping what she's sown.

ROTFLMAO...It's so nice to see that good habits die hard. The Force of Katie Hatred is strong in you Jedi Knight! ICAM. It's sad and all but geeze, this woman is going to have to do a lot more than splat out a baby on a warehouse floor and lose her husband after stupidly putting him in danger in the first place before I can truly start to see her redeemed. As with Janet, I get a feeling that that revelation is not going to come. eom Linny
But then, on the other hand, I remember one of the times when James kidnapped Paul and Shannon - Barbara's mortal enemy (or rival, at least) - swallowed all her ill-will and went to offer her moral support to Barbara. And Barbara welcomed her graciously (even though she'd gotten a swirlie in the Mona Lisa ladies room at Shannon's hands). That's how things used to be in Oakdale. Maybe I should stop living in the past. eom/D
The only way to really redem kate truly in my eyes is to keep her far and I mean very far away from any man for a very long time. Then only will I start to love katie , single kate will rock.
D., those moments when rivals and enemies set their feelings aside in times of trouble are among my favorites. Sometimes our petty hatreds seem so trivial in the face of tragedy and I like to see examples of that now and then on my show. eom/Allison

As much as I don't like Katie---even I was wondering---who the heck's with Katie, I mean KATE---??? V's out of town, Jan's cooking up a storm, Margo's presumably hunting down Ralph. I guess we're supposed to believe Henry's there, and I guess that would give her some comfort at least until she turns on him viciously (even if he deserves it..). It kind of highlights the isolation and lack of interaction between characters if you think about it.
Well, maybe Casey decided to stick around the hospital for his aunt.

Katie works for Kim yet she went off to see how Janet was holding up??-daydreamer
I would say that V wouldn't want anything to do with Katie anyway given how she knew about Henry boinking Babs and said nothing to V about it and then had the nerve to defend Henry after she'd dumped Jack and filed for an annulment of their marriage after learning that he'd had just one sympathy boink with Carly. But then again, this is the idiot who instantly forgave Katie after the horrific way she'd behaved when she DEMANDED that V and H give up their child and then had the nerve to hate on V for wanting to raise her own child rather than give it to the woman who'd said horrible things about the unborn child when she learned that she couldn't have it after all. It took all of 24 hours for V to forgive Katie and comfort KATIE for the grief that she felt after the loss of Vienna's baby. I have no doubt that if V had been there, she'd be right at Katie's side and probably blaming herself for what happened just to make Katie feel better. eom Linny
Oh, yeah, I'm sure V would have wrapped her arms around KATE and instantly forgiven her ''in light of the tragedy''. RME. Offering sympathy doesn't mean you have to forgive their previous actions. Especially when they've been so hurtful and hypocritical. gallyn

Perhaps we will see Nancy come and visit Katie. She was always there for her whenever Katie needed her.
Will anyone think to let Lyla know she has another grandchild?.
BTW I agree with you about Rose throwing that diamond away. She thought it was unlucky so give the bad luck to someone else not just toss it away.
I always hoped that it was the real Simon who drowned I liked his impersonator so much better, Donavon Currie, and hoped we would see him rising from the water with the diamond in his hand. LOL

I think she's talking about Rose from the movie the ''Titanic''. Was that to whom you were referring in the post? It does fit that THAT Rose would also see the diamond as bad luck. But if that was the case, she should have thrown it in the sea decades ago. eom Linny

Burning of the money bothered me....give it to charity, homeless shelters. A few weeks ago Maeve burned a few bundles of money too. Both Holden and Maeve thought it was a big joke to do so. NaNa. LOL

When , so many people don't have food to eat, a place to live. Paul decides to burn it. Im sure if he gave it away, he with feel much better.
I know! And what you hear daily on the news is so heartbreaking and the figures are staggering and climbing everyday. Paul would feel oh so much better - it's a life saving deed. /mia

Dolphina, get out of my head! I thought the exact same thing about the money and remembered again how I felt the same way when Rose threw the diamond into the deep. Ridiculous and selfish.
But, I had no doubt Emily would stop him. Emily likes money way too much to turn down any money, even money from James. I notice she didn't say anything about giving it away or helping others, no, it was about getting something she wants. Gotta love it when a character stays true to form.

LOL, it's kind of funny to find out someone else thought of the exact same reference you did. eom/D
I am actually OK with Emily wanting to keep the money for herself and Paul. I have not problems with that. I want Paul to get his fortune back and stop whining about being poor. A broke Paul isn't much fun. eom Linny
Oh, I don't mind her keeping the money and wanting things for herself ... for me it was just funny that the Emily I've known all these years would be happy to have the money for herself no matter where it came from and I was glad to see I wasn't wrong. I thought it was well done when she blew the matches out. Nice little bit of choreography. eom/pita

D, you have brought up Rose before, and I meant to say at that time that ICAM. That scene was utterly ridiculous, as was Paul's attempt to burn the money. Emily was 100% right, James was the problem, not the money. I always thought it was ignorant of Paul not to want a dime from the DECEASED James. Today when he decided to burn the money, I just wanted to slap the living crap out of him.

Have I mentioned that before? I guess it just shows how really irked I was. That's not a *grand gesture,* it's a thoughtless irresponsible gesture. As for Paul, he could get a list of everyone in Oakdale whose home is in foreclosure and pay off their mortgage. Just for starters. If he cared about anyone less fortunate than himself, that is. eom/D
