Craig's running around Oakdale trying to stir things up.... nobody seems happy to see him.  He pops up at Carly's first. She tries to get rid of him, but he's hanging around drinking coffee when Holden shows up, in answer to Carly's call. Craig starts making little innuendoes about why is Holden here and no sign of Lily...  Reluctantly, Craig leaves, and Carly tells Holden why she called him - she wants him to loan her some money, lots of money, just temporarily.... Holden is sympathetic, but says he can't loan Carly anything until he runs it by Lily... Carly thanks him and he leaves...Luke and Lucinda exchange some uncomfortable words and Lily gets involved, telling Lucinda that Lucinda's just taking her anger at Brian out on Luke... Lucinda insists she's not mad at Brian OR Luke, she's mad at herself for getting sucked in by Brian.... Now Craig shows up at Lily's and says he's there to apologize for everything he's done. Lily is suspicious of his motives and then Craig opens his mouth and says that he just saw Holden at Carly's.... This makes LILY suspicious, but just then Holden comes home. Craig leaves, and Holden calms Lily down, and tells her that Carly asked to borrow money... Lily's surprised and also uneasy that Carly feels as if she can turn to Holden whenever she needs something. Lily's not comfortable with that, and Holden understands and says that if Dusty wanted to borrow money from Lily, he wouldn't be near as calm as Lily is. He'll call Carly....   The teens are running around kind of aimlessly. Jade's in the diner and Luke comes in and says he needs to talk to her... (about what?  ) Ali's at Java and finding out from Noah that he and Luke broke up on NYE, and why.... Casey comes into the diner and is surprised to see Jade, he warns Luke to watch his back around her... Ali and Casey run into each other and decide to force Noah and Luke to talk to each other, and make up, so they lure them up on the roof of a building and lock the door on them. Luke and Noah do talk, but it doesn't amount to helping them face their problems and try to work them out together. They're still angry when they finally get Casey and Ali to open the door and let them off the roof...  Next on Craig's stops for the day is Metro. He manages to let himself in and is making a martini when Carly walks in. He bugs her to fill her in on Holden, and Carly finally admits that she and Holden had an affair, it's over, and she feels terrible about it. Craig tries to act surprised... and when Carly says that she asked Holden for a loan, Craig tells her she's crazy if she thinks that's going to happen. Carly says he's wrong, but just then Holden calls and says that he and Lily decided it wasn't a good idea to get financially involved with Carly...  Craig tells Carly that she should have asked Craig for a loan first, and saved herself the humiliation of being turned down. He says that whatever she needs, he'll give it to her, no strings attached. Carly says ther are always strings with Craig, but he pulls out his checkbook and writes a check and shoves it across the bar to Carly. He asks her if this is enough for now... Carly's eyes about pop out of her face and she says that just because she slept with Holden, she won't sleep with him.... Craig says that nobody asked her to.... then Craig leaves and Carly stares at the check... it's made out for $200,000!  Kind of a filler show today, but I did like Carly and Craig together at Metro. Darn, that Craig is so believable. Otherwise, it was just basically people running around spinning their wheels...

Can someone refresh my memory? Back in the days of the dead race horse, (maybe when Carly 1st came back to Oakdale), didn't Carly give Craig a check for 1 million dollars? Did she ever get any of that back? My old brain can't remember the details. p.s. I liked Carly & Craig too. I like the actor in this role. Different, but very good. |

I hate Craig with a WHITE HOT HATE!!!  It's obvious all Craig wants to do is keep Carly where he wants her so he can use her and he has no respect for her. FREE CARLY! And yes she gave him $1 million of which he has never paid a dime back to her. I hate this version of Craig. It's not the actors fault but the writers who are making him too one note with all his scheming and conniving. And if we were supposed to buy that he loves Johnny, they why didn't he at least take a minute to go see him? The guy is pure slime. It's clear he has had his heart removed. And it's rare that you see somebody that Maura has so little chemistry with. For the past 3 weeks I had stopped watching most of the shows and thought I'd try to watch again this week. Yesterday and today finished me off. If Michael and Maura are going to share scenes, I'll try to watch, but that's it. |

LUKE, NOAH, CASEY and ALISON....all that was for was to prop up and get ALISEY closer together. LUCINDA...if only she did not appear to me that she just lost a corporation...then maybe the LUKE, LILY and LUCINDA business might be more interesting. With the economic troubles IRL...at least OAKDALE is experiencing problems, too. I still wish that HENRY was more able to save the day for CARLY and METRO and not supposedly CRAIG. CRAIG...he is believable. I have really enjoyed most of current-CRAIG. IF HB was back in the role as CRAIG...I would assume that he would not be fanning the flames of everyone but just keeping things hidden and all the cards close to his chest....but every strange twist was over in minutes for this CRAIG. What is so wrong with CRAIG giving $200K to CARLY if he does owe it back to CARLY. CRAIG did visit with JOHNNY...even though it was not for very long. Today did seem like a FILLER to me, too. |

I thought the Luke, Noah, Casey, Ali, Jade stuff was wonderful and hilarious at times. Luke and Noah on the roof said so many things fans have been saying and they both made great points to each other, even though there was no resolution. Casey and Ali had a lot of cute moments and liked Casey and Jade too. Jade and Lucinda are great together. Lily not denying Lucinda was hard to love was funny. Can't stand this Craig either. They wanted Hunt Block's version of snarky Craig back but I'm not feeling it. And I thought about Carly's million instantly, why can't the writers? Instead of oweing Craig something or getting yelled at by Jack (in the previews), Carly should be saying, "Fine, but where's the other $800,000." It's so annoying when they bring on a new actor, even in an old role, and insinuate them into so many stories and feature them so prominently. ATWT under this regime will NEVER understand that. |

Roger, you think Jade and Lucinda are hilarious together? They've hardly ever had any scenes together this time around...  The only thing I liked about Casey and Jade was Casey's body language when he walked away from her and out of the diner.

Flashy Craig won't be paying back what he owes Carly. That won't even be mentioned. It will be a loan to Carly so Craig can use and abuse her and get a big favor from Carly in return. In the end it will cost her a lot and I can guarantee she will get hurt by it. Remember as Craig has said in the past, he won't do anything if there isn't something in it for him. I'm having a real problem too that Craig is involved in multiple stories and looks like he's going to be on everyday and yet we have other cast members that are MIA or rarely seen. The show doesn't have a clue what balance it. |

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I want Carly and Craig together. I'm sick of her having to just wait around and see what Jack does next or what his next rant about her will be. At least Carly knows exactly who Craig is and he knows exactly who she is, so they can be themselves. I still can't believe I'm writing this. As far as Lucinda goes, the problem I have with this storyline is that as Luke's grandmother, I would think that she'd be more sympathetic and understanding to her grandson who was obviously in such an awkward position. I get that she's really hurt and probably very confused, but so was Luke and she should know that. Lucinda and Luke have a great relationship but right now, she's acting like she doesn't even know him. |

I understand her feelings and figure she'll get over it soon. But she is the one how brought Brian into their lives in the first place, proposed to Brian and moved in with him into Lily's house. When Scott Bryce was playing Craig, I could just forget some of the horrid things the other Craig's had done and I had some sympathy for the character. I never liked the evil, snarky version of Craig so I just think no-good murderer when I see him. I do want Carly to have someone but I wish it was someone who wasn't so evil. |

I totally understand where Lucinda is coming from but have a hard time understanding how Lily and Luke can expect her to immediately forgive Luke. Had he told her, it would have lessened the pain because Lucinda was just growing more attached to Brian. I am sure Lucinda will forgive Luke but ti's crazy to expect her to do it this fast or to not be mad at all. As far as the Carly/Craig thing, I admit I have a very hard time understanding why people would want them together other than they just like them. Craig has done far worse to Carly than Jack yet Craig seems go get a pass. Good heavens Carly's sister is in a coma thanks to Craig. so how can that be overlooked? The way he came into town was despicable. I get that some don't want her with Jack but I don't see why the only alternative has to be Craig. He's done too much damage and it's so obvious now that he is just using her. He's buying her with money. He doesn't care about her. Carly will wind up getting hurt by Craig. If Carly can't be with Jack, then I sure want somebody better than Craig for her. But mainly I want Maura and Michael off prop duty for the newbies. It's been almost a year of prop duty now and it's time they finally get a really good story about them. |

After dealing with Jack's intolerance I can understand how Carly would fall for Craig's "We're alike.. I won't judge you" routine, despite his past misdeeds. She's so sensitive to feeling inadequate because of Jack she's always vulnerable to that line, no matter who it comes from. It doesn't really make sense to become chummy with Craig again but I understand how it could happen. It's just like how Jack will fall for any woman with a sad story and a halo. |

Lordy, I can not stand Nuke anymore. There conversations are so repetitive and petty. They are not some tortured couple with every obstacle thrown in their way to prevent them from progressing to the next level. They are just a bunch of whiny babies. Noah is such a drip and Van can act circles around Jake. FREE LUKE!!!!!!!! At least there's Casey and Allison who are quite amusing together. I realized that I enjoy Billy A LOT more than I ever did Zach. Zach was a great Casey, but I think Billy is a far superior actor and brings more of a personality to the character that is very entertaining to watch. |

I am a Carjacker through and through. But if a temp thing with C/C is what it takes to get Jack to wake up, I can live with that. It is rather reminiscent of Carjack and Julia 1, though. LUKE, NOAH, CASEY and ALISON....I actually liked that, and I normally don't care much about those characters either way. I thought Nuke both made valid points... unconditional love does not = unconditional acceptance, imo. >>LUCINDA...if only she did not appear to me that she just lost a corporation...then maybe the LUKE, LILY and LUCINDA business might be more interesting. Exactly.... I am not finding Lucinda is working for me right now. Her desire/love for Bri was never believeable to begin with - she should've figured he was gay long before it got this. |
