Yeah, I pretty much didn't give a crap about any of this. (Which is why I had no comment.)

I'm just hoping that tomorrow will be the tribute that Helen Wagner deserves.

Well. He did talk about catching some time with Luke. But then Katie cockblocked him. Par for the course.

I really really loved this episode!

I loved how Reid had his shirt undone though out the whole episode, it made him sexy!!

I don't know if I want to hate or love Katie. I mean I am a Chris fan *don't hate me* but I did love this whole episode

I enjoyed Casey too, I am not an Allison fan but Casey was cute, he almost burnded the house! lol

I liked today's episode. John+Reid+Bob+Kim = Good times.

I'm going to be a sobbing wreck tomorrow. I really really really hope it does justice to Nancy's passing- though I am honestly nervous it won't. At least we'll get to see all the old-timers and the Hughes family.

(Also, how much do I -love- that Lucinda conned John into giving free medical services for Luke's charity?)

[unifiedxdivide]

SO Lucinda and John. I LOVE IT.

1. Major complaint: I know that this is a soap, but what is the moral of a story that conveys hiding an illness until it is no longer treatable. If Chris really cared about those around him, he would understand one or two words, self-preservation. But no, he would rather have his family suffer because of his idiocy. How he became a doctor, I do not know.

2. I like Katie, but I think her fear of losing Chris is just a manifestation of her feelings for her dead husband. She should have screamed and ranted at Chris for being such an idiot.

3. Reid just rocks my socks! He just rocks! Now I really want him to have fun times with Luke.

Dear writers,

I feel for you... You have just made the biggest mistake in your careers. We will never forget how you took the stupidest way out of all this. I know that you were aiming for drama, and basically it makes sense. But you somehow forgot the enormous outpouring of support for team Lure. You have failed your fans... Failed us miserably.

Word. The self-sacrificing, noble Reid gives up all his time for an idiotic, selfish jerk. Great storytelling, show. Even a non-LuRe fan is rooting for Reid in this story, not Chris. You can't even make someone dying of a heart condition sympathetic.

and let us not forget, they write this for our enjoyment. not to make ratings. and even if to make ratings, how much are we able to watch if every scene is torture? think dear writers, what is the purpose of TV? it's to give enjoyment to the viewers, to entertain, and we care about these characters, we have grown to love them, and now you want to rip our hearts to shreds in the name of drama? i don't think so. that's a cop out, and it's wrong!!! and you're gonna look like such assholes you'll never work again!!!

I have completely mixed feelings about this episode. Truly. I'm spoiler free, but since stupid endgame rumors are about as subtle as a freight train, I have the sense of what's going on, though refusing to believe anything until I see it happen and the end credits roll on September 17th *stands by a dwindling Team Optimism

[lonsuderliveson]

i'm still on team optimist!!! come on!

[blasthisass]

Yay! We still exist! *fist pump*

[lonsuderliveson]

we should go around spreading cheer! lift up the defeated!
