Topic: today's show was excruciating

Additional Comments: I was watching live, and kept checking the clock to see if it was almost over.  The writing has become so bad, I don't even know where to begin.  For starters, the whole instant afternoon opera date was crazy, as was the finding of the eggs (probably not Em's).  The next time we see this sl I'm sure Emily will have invitro and by the end of the episode will find out she is, indeed, pregnant.  Then there was the instant takeover of Worldwide and the even-more-instant UNtakover.  And this brings us to the lovely and desirable Meg.  In this case my biggest gripe is the goshawful repetition, once again.  Men fighting over her, her brother trying to protect her, Lily objecting to that,  and of course, our Meg becoming all huffy with Damian for doing something that displeased her.  HOW MANY TIMES have we seen this almost exact scenario play out?  For me, the only bright spot today was Hunter, whom I really like.  THe rest was hackneyed crap.

This show is a mess. The whole forced thing with Dusty and Bonnie. Absolutely no chemistry there. Noah's stupid movie. Riley and Margo? Come on...she's smarter than that. How pitiful. Forget the crappy plots. Emily and her eggs are a slap in the face for all the women facing fertility problems. I never thought I'de say this about a soap...but things are too rushed. Slow down!

I couldn't agree with you more. I had been gone from home, so I taped it. When I started to play the tape, I was half watching and half doing other stuff. At one point I looked up and just knew it was almost the end of the show....to my surprise, it was just the first 15 minutes. At that point I just walked away and started doing other stuff...just letting the tape run until it turned itself off.
What a pitiful mess ATWT has become...and the story of Emily's missing eggs is almost as ridiculous as the story of Henry in drag so nobody knows it's him...not even the once classy and savvy Kim.

I only watched part of the show. Seeing Damian reduced to this wuss is just too difficult to watch.

Lily to Damian *Do you want Worldwide or Meg* WORLDWIDE DAMIAN run as fast as you can away from the BlackWidow Spider called Meg.

I liked today's show. I enjoyed Alison and Hunter's scenes as well as Emily and Larry's. I also liked seeing a spark between Dusty and Bonnie for the first time. The only thing I hated about the show was Meg & Holden. I'd like to put these two in a racket and blast them to the moon.
