She's the female lead on this show and she is treated like crap! Are Carly fans supposed to be rejoicing and loving how she's throwing herself at Jack? I know that Maura can act the pants off of anyone! I don't need to see her sobbing, bare-faced and throwing herself at Jack. She and Michael didn't even need words to knock those scenes out of the park. So much for them being the end game. Edited by hannahjayne, Dec 11 2008, 02:44 PM.

The "hen party" was ridiculous! I wanted to jump through the screen and strangle Vienna as she went through the list of Carly's "crimes". It's irritating that TIIC believe that fans of Carly will continue to watch this drek. I for one am not watching the show tomorrow to see Carly humiliated further. I know what's going to happen ... Jack & Janet will be happy for about two weeks, Jack will come sniffing around Carly again, J & J will break up ... and everyone will blame Carly ignoring completely Jack's part in it. Then Carjack will grow closer, and we'll be dangled a carrot again before it is snatched away when Jack meets another woman and professes his undying love (probably within less than a year) and the merry-go-round will go again. We'll find ourselves at another "hen party" about this time next year with Jack's newest "true love" watching Carly make a fool out of herself while the whole town disses her. I really wish Maura would decide to leave for greener pastures. She is WAY above all of this nonsense. Hopefully MP will get another great role on Broadway and he'll quit too. Once ATWT looses these two ... it will be over for me FOR GOOD. Wow, the previews look horrendous. Not only for the wedding, but for the UMPTEENTH time PEG will be breaking up again with Meg shouting that Paul must stay away from her so she can keep her child safe. I feel like I'll fallen and smacked my head on the concrete watching that crap! OK, rant over!

After today's show (after I picked myself up off the carpet and stopped sobbing), I decided that Jack and Carly should be apart. I hate to ever say that a couple has been "ruined" but I think Carjack has to a certain extent for me because of what JACK has done. He's devastated Carly one too many times and I can't abide his character any longer. Jack isn't the same person anymore and he isn't worth the pain.. not to Carly and not to me as a viewer. Let him have his perfect, loud-mouth of a wife and his perfectly moral, upstanding debt-ridden life and leave Carly out of it. Give Carly a love interest who is not a thief, creep or a killer who loves her unconditionally. Fat chance on that I believe. Oh, and Jacket-shipping Vienna, Katie, Lily, Holden, Henry and Brad can all go to hell. I am SO skipping tomorrow's show!

Perhaps we brought it on by staying loyal for so long but I think they really went too far this time. Today was just excruciating to watch but so well done by both Maura and Michael. For me, Maura pretty much carried the show today. If they want us to give up then they should stop saying they are the endgame. But if they want us to keep watching they need to actually deliver on the promise that they are the endgame and stop doing so much damage to the characters. I still want them together because for me Michael and Maura are still magic on the screen. When I watched the other four couples made up of the shrews and their men, I could help but notice that the chemistry of all 4 of them combined didn't come near what Carly and Jack have. It's Maura and Michael that have kept me watching these last several dismal years and if they want us to give up on them, then I give up on ATWT. I sent in a comment through the contact us form at atwt.net. Usually you hear back in a few days and they say how they value their loyal viewers. Well today I said I feel anything but valued and explained why. LOL I don't think it was even an hour before I had a response back and it wasn't the usual form response. So all of you that are equally frustrated, I urge you to email them or call the comment line and voice your opinion.

I still watch because my dreams for them are still alive. And any screen time of those two together is worth my continued viewing. And by the way, despite my screen name on here (brycefan), I'm loving this new Craig! I hate to admit it but....he's got the timing of Hunt Block and the likeability of my Scotty Bryce. He has chemistry with everyone and has taken up the torch very smoothly. I will always be Brycefan, but newnewnewCraig is working for me!

I feel for the CarJackers but I really Really REALLY enjoyed watching MW-CARLY on Thursday. JACK has NOT bothered me too much. There is still something there that keeps me enjoying my SNYDER MEN. HOLDEN was strange, though. The parties were lame but that is just always so typical. BRIAN and LUKE...I do wonder WHAT the next step is going to be. So if BRIAN, LUKE, CARLY or a veteran is on the screen then I will be a happy camper....I am ready for ALL of the storylines to finish THIS chapter and start afresh.
