So I have seen this posted on several boards- but I have read that SOW posted in their "Crazy Rumors Section" that the show is building up to two pairings: Dusty/Meg and Janet/Craig. Keep in mind, this is the same crazy rumors section that said: Brian was gay, Paul hired Josie, and Craig and Dani were "together." They've been right on every count so far, so let's hope that's a trend that continues. Though I could care less about Dusty/Meg, I'd rather see Dusty with Lucy or Josie anyways. So for the most part, I'm not to down on myself. I have a feeling nothing romantic will happen between Carly and Craig at all, other then Carly hanging around him to make Jack's blood boil. He'll come crawling back to her, and then Craig can take advantage of Janet's broken heart (which I'm not opposed too, that might be an interesting pairing, especially if they make Janet go dark). I might FINALLY get my damn Carjack back!

I wish I could share your optimism since I certainly do want CarJack back and I want to go back to caring about the show. SOW has also posted some crazy rumors that haven't come true so only time will tell. I do think it is very possible at some point that Craig and Janet will be paired since it was said from the beginning that their chemistry didn't go unnoticed by the show and Julie Pinson has made it very clear she wants to work with Jon and said in the interview that is up at atwt.net that she hopes Craig and Janet work together a lot. Of course Maura and Michael have never made it a secret they want to work together and we see what has happened there. As far as Carly, well I guess this isn't officially a spoiler thread so I'll use the spoiler tag. Spoiler: click to toggle

I hate the producers. I really do. If that comes to pass I'm disgusted. I'm not interested in Carly hanging around Craig unless it's a scheme to destroy his life and get revenge for all the pain he's caused her family, etc. One of things I'm flabbergasted about is that a crap couple like Meg/Paul get reunited time and time again, and Carjack is kept apart for what feels like to "the end of time." (sorry, couldn't help it LOL). Ugh. Honestly, there isn't a lot worth watching on the show these days. I'm only watching for Carly, Josie, Luke, Alison, Casey, and Noah lately, and forwarding most of the other scenes. It's weird because if the show is really interested in getting their ratings up, they would get at least their long-standing money couple back together. 2009 may be the year I stop watching, because I think Luke, Noah, Casey, and Alison's contracts expire, and they will probably move onto better things, and if Carjack are still doing the same song and dance (prop duty, kept apart, in boring quads) I'll stop watching. I've also heard rumors that Josie may be exiting the show, so it won't be worth watching...

I also don't have much optimism regarding Carly and Jack in the near future. And the pairings of Meg & Dusty and Janet and Craig certainly aren't going to keep me glued to my tv while I wait for a reunion (I pray to GOD neither of those are true). Right now I'm actually enjoying Jack and Janet being happily married OFFSCREEN (for the most part) and Carly being on her own but occasionally throwing her singleness in Jack's very green face. If they can stay like that for a while, I'd be good. Right now, I could care less about Carjack as a couple. It's too soon after this Janet chapter to even be doing anything major anyway, imo. If they push the issue to where I'm forced to endure Janet and her annoying daughter on my screen every day.. that's when I take a break. |

Well, for a differing opinion, I would be happy to see Carly with Craig in any story. I really, really, really, really HATE Jack and don't ever want to see Carly and Jack back together again. I was a BIG Carly and Jack fan and always thought they were destined to be together but NO MORE. I would never, ever want Carly (my favorite character on the show) to be with someone who has treated her with the disgust and disrespect that Jack has. Jack has always been the opposite of Carly and that's what made them so good together, but now he's an uncaring, sanctimonious, judgmental ASSHOLE who looks down his nose at her. I wouldn't mind seeing the character of Jack leave Oakdale (and please take Janet and Liberty with him) so the character of Carly can flourish without this impediment. I've always loved that Carly lived on the edge, she wasn't the "good" character on the show, she didn't think before she made decisions but they were never out of malice. Jack always acts like everything she does is with malice and forethought intended to hurt someone when that is clearly his M.O. when it comes to Carly. The character of Craig is a weasel but I still like him. He accepts Carly for who she is (a flawed character). There is no one in Oakdale who could live up to Jack's supposed lofty ideals that he only applies to Carly. I can find no reason why I would want these two characters together anymore. I think a lot of the show is being written by idiots lately who have no respect for our brains, but there's enough still there to keep me watching. Of course, they only way to watch now is with a sense of humor about the pure absurdity of it all. Just my opinion. |

Well my take on it is as a CarJacker, I feel used and abused by TPTB. We've hung in there so long and they take it for granted that we will continue to do so and I finally said enough. Now I'll read the recaps and follow the spoilers but the only shows I'll try to watch are if Jack and Carly are sharing scenes. I watched for 2 things basically. CarJack had me hooked and I also loved the actors on the show. But now most of the actors have been pushed aside for newbies for actors that have only been on the show for a couple of years. And JP has been so bad in developing those that were brought on a couple of years ago that I really don't care about them. And if I wanted to watch ABC actors, I'd watch an ABC soap. There is nothing that is entertaining to me in the current stories. And the recent recasts are of characters I really didn't care about in the first place so care even less about recasts. And I'm not enjoying the complete newbies of Janet, Liberty, or Brian. Josie was the only newbie I liked but they destroyed that story by involving Paul and Meg in it. If I watch the show I end up aggravated rather than entertained. There isn't one story I like. As far as the Craig vs. Jack debate, for me Craig has treated Carly much worse than Jack could ever imagine. Yes Jack has hurt Carly but Carly has also hurt Jack. It's total character assassination of Carly to have her forgive Craig or even give him the time of day. The one thing the show has always been clear about is the extremes that Carly would go to in order to protect her family so to have her involved with somebody that hurt both her sisters the way Craig did is totally unbelievable to me. I've always basically hated Craig even though I was sometimes entertained by the actors. Scott was the only one that made me feel for Craig a couple of times this last go round. However the current Craig is totally unredeemable to me and a one note villain thanks to the writers. Carly knows that he got his alibi to be cleared of attempted murder by setting up Brad. Craig was willing to let Brad go to prison if Katie didn't give him an alibi. How on earth can Carly overlook that? Also Craig has never respected Carly and thinks she's beneath him. It's always been about what he can get from her or what she can do for him. The best example as to how Craig thought of Carly was that he couldn't even look at her after she was aged at the spa versus Jack who made her look in the mirror and see herself though his eyes and we watched her turn back to the beautiful young Carly we knew. Jack certainly has his flaws but I'll take him any day over the scum of the earth Craig. Putting Carly in Craig's orbit despite the fact I realize it was done to humanize him and help him gain popularity was the final straw for me and why I stopped being a regular viewer. |

I may be in the minority on this board but I look forward to Meg with Dusty. I enjoyed the two as a couple when Marie Wilson was first on the show and was really disappointed when they broke up over the baby switch cover up. Peg was o.k. at the start but became more and more stupid due to Paul's stupidity and Meg's desperate acts such as marrying Craig!  Now as far as character reform, Paul is now officially bonkers  but Meg needs to be toughened up. They have had her with too many failed pregnancies and back and forth between Paul and Craig. True Dusty tends to only want those women in distress but maybe this time Meg and Dusty could be two strong characters that bond from mutual trust and love.  Carly and Craig should never be romantic given their history. So it would make a fake marriage interesting as long as it stays fake. I like Janet with Jack but there's' not much storyline potential unless they have Janet become a shopoholic and basically bring them to financial ruin. Probably Janet could have a slip up and sleep with Craig only to regret it and then Craig will stick to her like a leech!  As he has with Jennifer, Meg and Carly. Whatever happens in 09 I know it will be more absurd behavior meant to shock but risking turning off loyal viewers!

I've given up on CarJack ages ago, so it doesn't really matter much to me if Jack and Janet stay together or not. I have no use for Janet and will have even less use for her with Craig, so not sure how I feel about this. Personally, I would take Craig/BarBar back in a second, but I think that bridge burned years ago. Even if Jack is "free", I still don't want Carjack. They are bound to go through the exact same routine all over again after a couple of months being happy. I would need like 2 or 3 complete years of a breakup to ever consider getting back on that bandwagon. |

I'm starting to think that the show itself has pretty much come to the end of the road.  The memory of carjack in their glory years makes it all the harder to watch this crap between Jack and Carly, and I sit on the fence about the two of them being together again. The part of me that remembers the magic between them wishes for it again, but the part of me who hates what they, each of them, have become, want them to stay apart.  I've always loved Carly, although at times I've wanted to choke her.  I'm having a hard time recognizing her nowadays. Craig... I've loved Craig since Hunt Block took the character over, but then the writers went berserk and I'm afraid that character is beyond redeeming. That's okay with me, but makes it hard to picture anything genuine between him and Carly.  We need other male villains to take the load off Craig, but again, I think it's too late....

Like many others here, I'm on the fence about Carly & Jack getting back together. For all of the love that they have for each other and their family, they are both very good at hurting each other (and their kids) in the process. It's as if they want something from each other that just can't happen. Jack wants Carly to turn her 'act before thinking' switch off 100% of the time (she's gotten better, IMO, but it's still her inclination...) while Carly wants Jack to look the other way when she knows she's crossed the line. This is just how I look at the base of their relationship. As for how the show has written them, on and off, and so relentlessly promising stuff that never pans out... It's no secret that I think JP is a moron, but the bottom line is that she's the wrong personality to be running the ship while soaps, across the board, are struggling. She's inept at storytelling, utterly clueless about WHO and WHAT the majority of fans want to see, and bizarre (at best) at balancing the plethora of actors and characters at her disposal. The show is hurting and I don't see much going on now or in the future that is going to help. While I'm not ready to see Jack and Carly somehow reunite anytime soon (the prospect looks nice on paper, so to speak, but the means in which it would happen would most likely be AWFUL to witness), the mere idea of Carly helping Craig is beyond stupid, inconsistent and insulting to the fans. But, in all fairness, it would be the latest bad idea by TPTB to force lazy writing on us. I don't mind Dusty and Meg, honestly. It's clear that they have feelings, maybe just friends, possibly a bit more, for each other and I like the 2 actors together. Whoever mentioned that Meg needs to be toughened up - I wholeheartedly agree with THAT and it doesn't matter who Meg is paired up with. I love the actress but c'mon... Janet could go hang out at the bar with John Dixon for all I care about her or her silly daughter... If John can just disappear, why can't Janet & Liberty? And I've been completely underwhelmed with Jade's return and don't think much of the story, the writing for her, or the actress (no offense). I haven't seen nuMaddie yet but already cringe on the inside thinking about her. I loved the original Maddie and felt her departure was well done and appropriate. There's NO reason to bring her back now, and besides, it sounds like she's not even in Henry's orbit. WTH? |

Sadly that's the way I'm starting to feel Without changes at EP and HW I don't see how it keeps going that much longer. When you are in a job that requires so much creativity, even the best can get stale and need a change. I think the direction of the show has become stale and the stories too repetitive. Some new blood needs to be brought in to reinvigorate the show.

Well at least one of these crazy rumors are true. Let's hope both are. From Grayson's official fan club site. Dusty and Meg marry! |

If Dusty is marrying Meg, then for sure, Carly and Craig are getting married. It's called let's marry everyone to the wrong person for the sake of the child. I always liked Dusty with Meg but I like Josie so much that I was kinda of wanting them together. The good thing about these crazy spoilers is that Johnnie will finally be out of the grasp of Lucy - who hopefully will be in prison for endangering the poor child. |

Initially I liked Dusty with Meg, but Meg has been ruined so much in her pairing with Paul that I no longer like them together. Plus I don't like one of the people that kept Jennifer's child from her, and specifically so she could have Dusty, to be involved with that child. Josie was one of the bright spots on the show but they are ruining that too. I had liked her with Dusty. I fear now she'll get stuck with Paul. |
