Poor Luke, drugged and duct taped for his own intervention. I really wish that Bobbie would have been there-- because CARLY shouldn't have been.
They did this just like A&E...which is good. Like the letter part.
They shot it like "Our Town" the play. Didn't they?? Who's seen it?? They also inserted flashbacks of Lulu's abortion. Wow. Usually shows like to bury that sheeze. Julie was fabulous again.
AND we got a News Break for the Tornado News. So sad for everyone involved. Please think about donating to The Red Cross. Missed Ethan's speech, which I guess was ok.
They flashed to the Camping TRIP!!! One of my fave episodes!! I loved that show.
I really wish Carly wasn't there, she has nothing to do with Luke in this show because they don't write it that way. Alexis should have been in her spot. I know they are related but they never have interacted until this year.
JANE ELLIOT is just awesome, awesome. She blows me away!!! I so love her. Thank God she's still on the show. I am a die hard L&L fan but I so love Luke and Tracy too!! They are a mature love story and it's priceless. Did you know she held Alberta WUBS?? She did!!! SHE DID!!
"I won't change...not even for you" Luke to Tracy
" you are my hero" says Lucky to Luke... wow. I did cry, yes I did. Damn, I am so grateful that JJ was here to do this. I like GV but JJ is history. They were able to show a great flashback with them and Lucky was joking about being so short. LOL.
"I need my father--your wisdom and clarity and strength".... "I don't want a fake diminished version of you" Lucky
Oh hell no..Shadybrook? What about Passages in Malibu!! Shadybrook--
BRAVO GH...you do so WELL for "events"..you really do. Stand alone episodes are awesome.
NO comments. :X
ReplyDeleteI am still working. I won't be home until after ten tonight. I didn't watch yesterdays yet either.
ReplyDeleteI thought the intervention was pretty good. Especially in showing flashbacks to past events.
ReplyDeletelol I actually thought of you immediately when it switched from a full room of people to just one on one conversation. I don't think it was supposed to make me laugh, but your rants about there never being more than 2 people in a scene made it extremely entertaining to me the first time I saw them do it. *^^;*
ReplyDeleteAll in all I was happy with the show. Everyone was great. Sonny became my hero when he stopped Luke from lashing out at Ethan. He was doing such a good job looking more pained with every insult Luke threw at him that I just wanted to go comfort him, I felt so bad for him!
The camping flashback was a high point in the show for me too. I thought it was great how they'd just brought it up earlier in the week and then we were actually allowed to see it again.
As always JJ was amazing. By the end of his performance I was almost able to forget that I was a viewer and not a participant! His raw emotion somehow felt as if it was coming from right next to me instead of through a tv screen.
The end was sad, but any other end would have been too unnatural to accept.

I loved yesterdays show. It did remind me of Our Town. I agree, it should have been Bobbi, NOT Carly.
ReplyDeleteThe acting was incredible...the editing/flashbacks, sublime. Why can't it always be this good?
One thing I love about classic soaps is the use of flashbacks...I've noticed a lot of that on OLTL, as of late.
The intervention was well done with the exception being the glaring absence of Bobbie. JJ is just heartbreakingly excellent. Loved the flashbacks. Julie B. was great-she is every bit the Emmy winner. Very moving.
ReplyDeleteNot a Lulu fan but loved her this week. JB knows how to bring it but JJ still blew me away more than anyone else.
ReplyDeleteThose are good spoilers, Jen. Hope their as accurate as Karen's since we certainly need a few Liason scenes in between the Jasam baby making.
I read on another site that NBC might be willing to pick up one life to live and all my children . They would then corner the market on soaps . I was hoping you could look into this and if it's true we can all lead the brigade With our fans are friends and her family Cannot watch ABC for Disney Channel's next week Especially dancing with the stars and tune into the voice instead . We could show NBC just How dedicated The soap fan base is .And that it would be worth their money to get them .What do you think .I think it would work wonders Hopefully save one life to live and all my children . No dancing with the stars Just watch the voice instead .
ReplyDeleteI liked yesterday's episode a lot, but I agree about Carly. It should have been Bobbi.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that Bobbie should have been there and I am so sick of Carly. But Carly did need to be there. This was all about the people that not only love Luke, but enable him as well. She also turned a blind eye and gave him a place to stay, food and more booze. So, since she also enabled him, she needed to be there.
