Topic: What did Paul do? Tiny spoiler inside

Since watching anything Meg is like watching paint dry, I haven't been paying much attention to them.  Actually I have NO clue what's going on.  lol.  I did see either on a preview or the show where Mike and Paul get into a fist fight.

A spoiler says, "Meg thinks Paul needs to go to prison to learn his lesson."

Huh?  I guess I have two questions.  What exactly did Paul do to earn him PRISON time, and why are Mike and Paul hating on each other?  Isn't this just a rehash of Paul/Craig?  I guess I don't understand why Paul's angry at Mike. 

Paul made a huge scene outside Meg's room and got himself thrown out of the lakeview.  He also resisted 'arrest' if you could call it that.  It would be misdeanors and not jail time.  However, Paul is on his way to committing crimes if he keeps up this behavior. 

The reason Paul hates Mike?  Paul has to have an enemy to justify his own completely selfish behavior.  Whatever is wrong is because Craig, Dusty, Mike, whoever did it, not him.  He is a totally worthless man and I don't see what Meg or any other woman sees in him.

Meg just waiting to be Mike's new love or Paul marrying Sophie before she jumps back into Paul's bed.  She needs that whole cheating/adultery thing to start her engines.

Just ask Craig.

''poor mike''.... wtf??  he comes back to town..tries to ruin Katie and Brads wedding..cause he wants Katie..then when that doesn't work he gets in the middle of Meg and Pauls relationship(??) which he doesn't know or understand ( along with the rest of us)  I think he should go after unattached women and learn to date...I know there are days Meg thinks she's unattached ( until Paul looks at another woman) but she isn't.  How many times has she said she still loves Paul??

Paul doesn't really care about anyone these days. He pretends to care about people when it's convenient for him. Look at the way he treated Will in the last couple of years. Plus, he uses Emily all the time.

While I don't blame him for being sore at Margo for the whole Craig fiasco, Margo is Andy's sister. He hates Chris, but never thinks about the fact that Chris is Kim and Bob's son.

Face it, Paul has turned into Todd Manning.

I think the restraining order is to keep Paul from Sophie.

You DO have to remember the history with Paul & Mike.  Mike was married to Paul's sister, Jennifer, and had an affair with, and left her, for Katie.  That pissed off Paul.

That should be the motive behind Paul's resentment of Mike. He told Mike at Mike and Jen's wedding that if Mike hurt her, he'd have to deal with Paul. But the writers have forgotten all about that! In their endless attempts to put Paul in a bad light and Mike in a good one, they've ignored the fact that Mike is a serial cheater and hurt Jen by cheating on her with Katie when Jen was eight months pregnant. The writers don't dare bring that up because it makes Mike look like what he is: a thoughtless, self-righteous hypocrite. (Shouldn't his last name be Snyder?) --Oakdale Oldtimer--

Paul hasn't done anything yet - I don't think - that warrants prison time.  However, yesterday Meg took out a restraining order against him.  I suspect he will violate.

Why is Paul angry with Mike?  Since when does Paul need a valid reason to be angry?  He thinks Mike is trying to move in on Meg (not - yet), and Mike had the audacity to take Meg on the hot air balloon ride Paul arranged when he didn't show up on time.  At the urging of the balloon operator, who couldn't tell them the name of the person who'd hired the balloon, Mike and Meg decided to take the free ride rather than let it go to waste.  Paul threw a tantrum and acted as though Mike had committed the crime of the century.

MEG took out a restraining order? WTF? Last I saw, wasn't she the one going to PAUL's house/appt/hotel room? I saw that at the end of the show on Tuesday. How can she get a restraining order for someone who's not threatening her? Typical Snyder. Holden had Julia take out a EPO against Lily. And people actually fight over these Snyders? lol

Well, he went to the farm the other night and Holden told him to get lost - which Holden has a perfect right to do. Paul stood outside howling for Meg. Meg then told him angrily that children were sleeping in there, and she also wanted him to get lost. Then, yesterday, Meg caught him (in his own house - don't ask me what she was doing there) getting naked with Sofie. She ran to cry on Mike's shoulder in his room at the Lakeview. Paul showed up, started pounding on the door and yelling, and then got into a fist fight with the security guard who came to remove him. Meg jerks him around, no question about it, but he is getting dangerously close to the edge. I might be afraid of him too. eom/D

I think an argument can be made that Paul is stalking Meg and that would be the justification for the restraining order./mm

Paul *is* stalking Meg, but the problem is, she's stalking him right back! I have no sympathy for either one of them. eom MaryHatch

Thanks, MH! SO true! They are BOTH doing it! And both of them are disgusting! Paul for wanting her back, and her for being such a wishy washy witch! And DUH! Paul is jealous of Mike because Meg simpers at him every chance she gets, runs to him, makes googoo eyes at him, and pulls Paul with her with one hand while she pushes him away with the other! Talk about mixed signals; I think Meg is the inventress! fee

Well, when Meg refuses to leave Paul's property after being ordered to, makes a ruckus outside his house in the middle of the night, or threatens to break down Paul's friend's door, then Paul can take out a restraining order against her too. eom/D
