I asked this question before, but it begs to be asked again. lol. Why would ANY fan of Katie's want her with Jack knowing Jack will always love Carly a zillion times more than Katie? It doesn't matter who Jack or Carly hook up with, the other man/woman will get dumped eventually. Well...the other woman will get dumped, Jack's never had to fight for Carly. :rolleyes:

Um maybe because not everyone takes it as written in stone that Jack and Carly will always, boringly, get back together.

I just like Katie with Jack. It's as simple as that. :Wub:

Maybe they will,maybe they won't.

I'm just saying, it's the journey you have to enjoy not the destination.

seeing you think its the "journey" and not the "destination" we've already been "treated" to a boring, flat :Sickest: worthy "journey" with one of these couples..why go there again? :Sickest: The other pairing is plain and simple absurd. I'm not saying this because I want Carly and jACKass together cos she is too good for him. I wanna see jACK grovel, only to be kicked to the curb. :D

I feel the same way and I have always thought that Carly and Katie always were attracted to the same men. Then I started thinking when came out that Jack/Katie would be friends that Katie and Jack are like Carly and Mike only without or with the characteristic habits they both wanted or didn't want in a partner.

Since when are Carly and Katie "attracted to the same kind of men"?

The Mike Carly fell for was a vastly different person than the one Katie fell in love with. (MC's Mike was so sickeningly upright and do-gooder it's like like comparing apples with cheese.) And when Carly slept with this Mike, she had no illusions about setting up house with him.

Carly was attracted to Craig,a ruthless, powerful meglomaniac. Katie has no one like this in her past (she was never attracted to BJ Greene, at least to hear her tell it.)

It's kind of unfair to count Brad, because the characterizations are so different, and because Katie's attraction has barely kicked in.

Kind of unfair to count Jack, since that "attraction" seems to be one-sided. Katie thinks of him as "an honorary big brother."

That leaves Simon. And as any statistician will tell you, one does not a trend make. But suffice it to say, I don't believe Carly took his attraction to her seriously. No matter how many times she cried out "I love him" to Jack. In the end, she didn't believe in him.

There is an interesting parallel between Hal and Henry...but neither Carly or Katie loved either man.

Dude, but if the journey takes you down the wrong path to ICKSVILLE, you better hope the busdriver pulls over and asks for directions back to Magictown.

CARJACK OR BUST!

The ONLY original story to be told here, is to let Carly and Jack grow up, finally, stop this merry go round of rebound peeps and reunions, and make it work together. Cuz let's face it, Kack and Sic and whoever else TIIC throw at us will NEVER EVER compare to the chem and acting chops of Maura and Michael, and thus will never outlast Carjack. They are the dream team. Why send in your second string when you have an all star team waiting on the bench? It boggles.

Maybe for us it's ICKSVILLE but not for the people in Oakdale.

And I agree that no one will compare to CarJack but seriously,can you see the writers actually let them grow up? Nah.
Because if they would do that they would be ''boring'' in their eyes.

I'm just sticking to the facts here, they're divorced, Carly decided to not go to prison and abandon her kids, Jack let her go just to make her happy somehow and right now Jack really likes Katie. What's wrong with that.

I kinda enjoyed CarSimon until they were about to steal the diamonds cuz we all knew it would backfire in her face. But I enjoyed them and I enjoy Jatie at the moment.
And there's nothing that I believe Jatie will do as terrible CarSimon did so that makes me enjoy them even more.

If you agree that no one will compare, why waste anymore time? And why accept 2nd best? There is plenty of story, especially involving the kids, for Jack and Carly to slowly work their way back together. That would be a lot more original and interesting than a 3rd party coming between them for about the billionth time :rolleyes: And it never ends well for the person in the middle, so why would anyone that likes Katie even wish that on her :confused:

I LIKE Katie and no i will not like her heart tramppeld over again.. I know that non Katie fans will say that it would be just what she needs to grow up. I say it would only make things worse..
Besides i think that if Carly deserves happiness and Jack with that (and that will be enevitable, because it always happens because of the large fan base), the writers should do the same for Katie fans. I still hope for a Simon return in future.. Not right away. Katie does have some growing up to do. But I also believe that Skatie was one of the best Couples the show has had in years...

I don't speak for everyone but I don't think I can continue to watch this show if there is no CarJack. Since Carly rolled into town I have been a faithful watcher. The chemistry with Maura and Michael has been there since their first meeting. The other stories are just boring. I wish the writers would use half a brain then at least they could come up with something that is half boring.

I think it comes down to why people watch the show. So, for me I watch soaps because of the relationships that people make and form. And once they make it, I want to see them going through their stuff together. The drama of having people apart wears thin. And pretty much once I am committed a couple, I don't like to see them with other people. Particularly a supercouple because in the grand scheme of things it just doesn't compute to me. So, I can't be like 'yay' they are having fun with someone else when their soulmate is right down the road. Particularly since the ONLY way people seem to hang out in OD is if they are in a relationship with each other or a triangle with each other which makes the point fo finding some realness, some kind of strength in their couple even that more important.

Sorry but for me ICKSVILLE is the redundant, boring, overdone Carjack "story". Talk about UNoriginal! Been there, done that, read the book, saw the movie AND its FIVE sequels - I'M OVER IT!

Besides, how will we ever know if something might be BETTER if we never try to find out? I think Jack and Katie could be great!

Cuz some things you just know. Like crack kills. Don't have to take it to know it YKWIS. lol ANd besides, they have been paired with other people, and it comes back to them. Any supercouple in modern day soaps including but not limited to Lilden or Jeva or Luke/Laura or Bo/Hope is gonna have this problem. That they have fought battles throughout the years, and they come back together. And if people are still interested in seeing you go through it. (even if that interest is hatred) I think you have done a preety good job. And obviously we are interested in some redundancy cuz we are watching soaps which don't really do new and inventive too often. lol. That's part of the treasure of soaps for me. That the history is there. Where else can you find couples together after 10 years.

Why? Because SKatie was GREAT too but it ended when Paul Leyden left. PL came back and left,came back and left,came back and left. That's why I'd like to see CarJack move on and see them with someone else. What if MP or MW decided to leave the show, aren't they allowed to date someone else? Yeah okay, Carly's coming back in May but I still thinks Jack has the right to move on and date someone else. I don't care if there's wasted time, because mostly all of the couples or stories are wasted time after all. I like Katie and maybe that's a turning point for her if she feels how Henry was when he married Katie. Maybe that'll make her an actually grown up woman.

Of course Jack has the right to move on and date somebody else, but it is to obviously plot drive that they waited so long to have him do that and that almost everyday Carly's name is coming up. Why wasn't it his right when Carly was with Simon, but then they decided to leave him alone. It's practically in neon lights that Carly is returning. She'll be back in a couple of weeks. Even most that don't like them admit the end game will be Jack and Carly. They are just too popular not to have that happen, same as it always does with Tom and Margo and Lily and Holden.

Sorry but I don't understand the logic that because another couple had to split up when one of the actors left the show, that so should Jack and Carly. Because Skatie fans lost their couple, so should CarJack fans? That makes no sense. The big difference was Paul L left the show and so that brought about the end of Skatie. There was no alternative but to end it. Neither Michael or Maura are leaving. And oh yeah there is a chance that Terri may leave so that gives them even another reason not to start it.

I'm sorry but I don't buy at all that this would be a turning point for Katie. That's also Katie's biggest problem in that she constantly needs a man. She needs to grow up on her own and not have some man to make her do it. And as I said before things never end well for the woman that comes between Jack and Carly. Julia 1 is a total psycho and Julia 2 is dead. Do you wish that on Katie?

I agree! I have too say that me as Katie fan wasn't too pleased that the last time simon came back he was used to provide an exit for CArly. Talking about plot writing.
I think that Simon and KAtie were/are also a supercouple and the fact that the writers chose to ignore their fans did't fall well with this fan..
We as Katie fans have to get used to this kind of thing because Paul will IMO never come back full time and he is one of these actors you just can't recast..
So for all carjack fans i hope you get what you wish for because i know what i feels like when you where robed off the things you hoped for..
And while i enjoy Katie with Jack i just now that it won't last because well Jack is Carly's true north. And well simon is Katie's .. So i am all for partner swap on this one..

But PL left. MP has not. And Carly and Jack are still here sparkign off of each other so why waste it. It seems just as important to stick witt the couples who share a history as it is to stick witht he friends and the family members who share it as well. All of which ATWT is woefully failing at now. IF MW or MP left the show than that's one thing, but to have your soulmate right down the road or to have two people who love each other that much just chilling is crazy to me and wasted. Both of them have the right to move on. They are single people. I just think that TPTB should consider not doing so. That it might be a change to take one of your best assets and nurture it instead of always using it as sl stopgap. Show the two people as a couple actually helping each other. Show em working this mess out. Personally, I am not interested in watching Jack be the prop that helps Katie grow up. Or vice versa. Jack has his own growing to do. And he has a love who has her own growing to do , and they should do that together. IMO

I wouldn't blame the fact that Skatie wasn't reunited this last time on providing an exit for Carly so much as the fact that Katie was now married. The writers weren't about to break up Matie for Simon's return until they needed an exit for Mike too. Paul L said in interviews before he started to air that they would have to go in a different direction this time. And the original story was to have ended differently because Carly wasn't going to need an exit but then oops, Maura got pregnant :D

Skatie fans don't seem to want a Simon recast and Paul isn't willing to commit long term to the show. The writers don't have any other option, so it is impossible to have a Skatie pairing!

Please don't be mean! Let this girl keep her hope...
And i never felt the Mike Katie thing..
And remember Jack was married to julia 1 when he went with Carly. Carly was married to Hal etc. Marriage has never been sacred when it comes to soap..
Besides KAtie never loved him the way she loved Simon. But she chose the tool because she wanted the house with the picked fence and the kids. Life with simon could not be that. SO she settled..
And who knows maybe the writers will settle Jack with Katie now. I mean it has happend before.. (but for you i hope not.. I am really not a bad person :) i just like Katie

That the history is there. Where else can you find couples together after 10 years.

I see where you're coming from and to an extent I agree with you. however, I also know that I was a HUGE Phillip/Beth fan (from GL) when they first got together in high school. However, they both got paired up with other people and I actually ended up liking some of their OTHER lovers way more than I liked them! I hate it when it's a foregone conclusion that two people will ALWAYS get back together - where's the suspense? the interest? the drama?

I'd like to see BOTH Jack and Carly move on at the same time. Let the characters interact with others for a while, have new and different experiences and stories as well as lovers. They'll always be connected thru the kids. Maybe they'll reunite again - who knows? Maybe they'll find someone who is even BETTER. The point is, we'll never know if they don't try. And sure, fans of a couple might enjoy watching them be happy all the time and dealing with life together but for the most part, that makes for very boring soap for the rest of us.

I am a HUGE Josh/Reva fan (again from GL) but I also loved many of their other lovers as well. They spent years apart at times - I don't think Carjack has ever done that. I''m sure it gets very dull for the performers to always play the same scenes with the same partners as well. I'd like to see Carly get back into design and create HER own life without Jack and I'd like to see Jack do the same. It makes for richer characters and better stories. It's too easy and uncreative and unoriginal to just keep putting the same two together again automatically.

Carjacker2007
04-12-2007, 05:50 PM
I woudl love to see carly do design, and Jack to have other things to do besides be carly's sidekick. I am all for richer characters. They just don't have to do those things apart. JEVA are a little different be KZ left so many times which changes the dynamic, but they are both here kicking it up. And even with Jeva it is taking it's toll cuz GL cmon Josh cloned the woman. Now, he is in love with her sister???? no really? that's the story you're telling me now.

Let em be. I am all for them growing. They just don't have to be apart to do it. I love Carjack, and I don't want all of their stories to be about THEM being together or breaking apart. If I can have no faith that the couples who have struggled through all of this crap are actually gonna make it than i lose my faith in the romance/love soaps promise. I understand people watch for different reasons so I can't speak to t hat. I can only say that if they keep doing romance kangaroo while still tryign to act like these characters are searching for the one, then I lose faith in the premise of the show.

CarJackfan
04-12-2007, 05:58 PM
I have no problem with Carly being back into design. In fact that is what a lot of us wanted when Jack and Carly first split up. The majority agreed that they needed time apart. What I don't get is why they have to have another romantic partner while they are apart. Why can't they be whole people on their own. I would love for Carly to become more independent and the same for Jack. What I don't get is why they always have to be part of a triangle or involved in another relationship when they do spend time apart. I don't want them immediately back together on Carly's return but that doesn't mean I think they need to be with others either. They both have a lot of issues to work through on their own first and then as a couple. How come the only stories the show can come up with also involves people being part of couples and no independent singles?

I guess MY question is why CAN'T they have other lovers, fall in love with other people and have COMPLETELY different lives? :confused:

Carjacker2007
04-12-2007, 06:11 PM
Cuz that ruins the joy of it all. That's real life. ANd there are plenty of couples on the soaps who do and should do that right. Paul and emily for example. Should ahve completely different lives. But when lightening strikes, you shoudl grab ahold to it. And there are certain couples that do just that. And for 10 years ATWT has been putting out there that there is something different about Carjack. (and there is). Don't get me all invested in that and then go 'well in real life couples break apart.' That's part of soaps for me.

This mythical love that survives the odds. Then, when you do stupid stuff to undermine that it drives me nuts. Like having Jack make a choice AFTER he got his memory back. What?? Julia should have been no where near that barn that day cuz Carjack is Carjack. And it's the same with characters. If you have Reva or Kim Zimmer in your arsenal, you don't stick in her in the background. You use that mess. ANd if you are lucky enough to find a couple that have great actors, amazing chemistry, want to stick around, are popular, AND still inspire passions in fans then why waste that mess. Literally Carly's name was the last thing Jack said when he thought he was dying. Now I am supposed to watch him be with Katie when that kind of love exists or existed. It just undermines the whole ball of wax for me. Or after watching CarlyJack go through everything they have gone through and then I am supposed to be she is THAT in love with Simon in a couple of months. bah! humbug!! :mad: :mad:

Beautifully said.

I don't think the whole "we must have Kack to stop the same old Carjack cycle" argument holds water. Because if Jack and Carly do reunite eventually, then in retrospect, Katie was just Julia Lindsay, take II. It's a continuation of the same old cycle. Unless of course you break Carjack up permanently, which would be a terrible waste of storyline potential and unmatched chemistry, not to mention disrespectful of their "true north" history. The best choice, creatively, is to do a Jack and Carly grow up and work thier shizz out, finally, storyline. You would think the damage done to their children by this latest break up would knock enough sense into both of them to get over themselves and get it together. It makes the most sense, IMO.

P.S. For the record, I think Skatie should have been reunited, too, or Simon should have stayed dead. I haven't really enjoyed any of Paul Leydon's returns because Simon's storyline direction always seems dictated by the short term nature of PL's contract, which is completely unsatisfying in the long term.

I hate it when it's a foregone conclusion that two people will ALWAYS get back together - where's the suspense? the interest? the drama?

For me it's all about the angst and chase back together. I LOATHE triangles! The writer's should be creative enough to come up with angst for a married couple other than an interloper! Not saying they should always be happy and married but again, the writer's should come up with something more creative than a triangle to cause angst.

I guess MY question is why CAN'T they have other lovers, fall in love with other people and have COMPLETELY different lives?

Well, it's not like this hasn't happen with CarJack before. Carly and Jack both have fallen in love with others, have had other lovers and to an extent have had different lives. However, they will never be able to have completely different lives apart from one another. They share children which means they will interact on a daily basis FOREVER. Their lives will cross continuously. They "sold" their love story years ago. It would be unbelievable (and has been) for me to believe ANYONE else could take either Jack or Carly's place in each other's heart.

As an example, Carly and Simon was all about Jack, IMO. Carly needed to prove to Jack that she could be on her own. She didn't need him. However, if that were so, WHY was everything she attempted to accomplish more about what Jack would think instead of it being about Carly and HER accomplishments? Yeah, she fell for Simon in the process but I never believed she was REALLY deeply in love with Simon like she was with Jack. Her "love" for Simon was more circumstantial than real, IMO. Simon was trying to be everything to Carly that Jack had not been but in the end I didn't feel Simon's sincerity. Plus, even Simon knew Carly's heart was with Jack and her kids but by then it was too late. I think Jack allowed Carly to go to save her.

As a fan, I think it would be a shame to break up CarJack permanently. IMO, Maura and Mike share such a natural chemistry. Being wonderful friends off screen helps in keeping Carly and Jack "real" onscreen. They "get" who Jack and Carly are as a couple both when CarJack are together and when they aren't.

OMG, too funny. That's what I was thinking, only I was envisioning a revisit to the wine cellar. Wasn't it at the Mona Lisa? Does the Mona Lisa still exist? I loved that set.

Good writing would be such a gift at this point, but when it comes down to it, seeing CarJack stuck in an elevator (or in the interrogation room, or in the Milltown basement, or locked in Al's overnight) sparking away would get me popping the corn.

Hello, BTW. I'm never sure where to jump in when new to a board! :o

Um maybe because not everyone takes it as written in stone that Jack and Carly will always, boringly, get back together.

I just like Katie with Jack. It's as simple as that. :Wub:

Couldn't agree with you more!:)
