Thank you! This sounds like a cool storyline.
Hope he get back with Meg in the end! :Wub:

[The Intruder]

wow THANK YOU sounds like we are heading into a very good direction can't wait to see it.

I've always loved the chemistry between Paul and Rosanna, and IMO it would be great if he just left Meg with Craig, and picked up his romance with Ro. Ro always loved him for himself, not who she thought she could turn him into the way Meg does.

[gracefuls_mom]

Thanks for posting!!! Can't wait.:)

[kandyee]

I can't wait for Paul to return! I miss him. Also, I got a kick out of reading the SOW interview. I love what he said about Marie.

Since I currently enjoy the chemistry between RH and MW, I'm more interested in seeing Rosanna interact with SB's Craig. I'm hoping that their chemistry will be off-the-charts as well.

ITA. I can't explain it, but Paul takes one look at Rosanna and he's gone. It's like the I feel the love and warmth just by the way he even says her name. He's lost in his own world with her.

Yes! I know exactly what you mean. Just the way he says her name is special. There's something in the way he talks to her, too. It's different than when he's with anyone else.

yes, that is one thing I loved about him and Ro, she always believed in him, remember the time she stood up for Paul in court, stood by him when they were friends? She has always been that way towards Paul and never tried to change him or tell him to change, if Paul changed while with Ro its because he chose too. :Wub:

[kelly1142]

I don't really agree with that. Emily IMO is the only one who really loved and accepted who Paul was. She told Paul, and she was right IMO, that he was already a good person, someone who may make sketchy decisions but it comes from the best part of who he is. He doesn't need to change for anyone.

As for Rosanna, I myself loved her with Craig. They were so snarky and fun and never let the other get away with anything. Of course, so much of that was CM and HB, it'll be interesting to see what kinds of sparks are there with SB.

[mads]

Emily believed in him, sure, but she brought out the worst in him. She nurtured his darker, more angry side. It was a really dysfunctional relationship.

The thing about Rosanna is that she believed that he was genuinely a good person and didn't have to turn into his father. She encouraged him to do the right thing. She never would have supported the schemes Paul got himself into with Emily and Meg. She always wanted him to be honest.

Paul just seemed most at peace when he was with Rosanna. Like he told her in his wedding vows, she rescued him from his Stenbeck legacy.

[schiffeg68]

According to that article above... :IMHO: he wants Meg.

Paul chose Meg over Emily, and I have NO doubt he will choose Meg over Rosanna.

[alexs]

JP words are a joke; this story doesn’t make any sense, no matter how JP tries to sell it. It’s outrageous that Paul is still portrayed as a pathetic fool, that can’t see what hypocrites both Meg and Ro are.
both women have hurt Paul for no good reason, Paul put them on pedestal, and yet they walked all over him, and neither Ro nor Meg ever really loved or accepted Paul unless he conformed to their hypocritical standards.
Emily was the only one that really loved Paul unconditionally, accepted him as he is, she loved the man Paul was, because she knew that regardless of his mistakes, his heart was always in the right place, and Paul knows it.
Ro was with Paul in her own words, because she was lonely, and Meg because she can’t be without a man , she hooked up with Paul a nanosecond after she brooke up with Dusty, the so-called love of her life, and she had sex with Craig the next second she turned her back on Paul, both Ro and Meg made Paul feel like he was never good enough, and they never truly trusted him, they both betrayed Paul , Ro with Barbara, James, and with Craig, giving Craig the means to steal Jen’s baby, and then suggesting they adopt, and that lead to Craig switching the babies, so Ro is no saint when it comes to using people for her own selfish need, she used her influence to help Craig against Jen, and she drugged Emily without any concern, so I wont paint Ro as the savior of Paul Ryan.
it’s outrageous thta JP is till writhing Paul pining over the likes of Ro and Meg , but at least in Rosanna case, I can understand that Paul may feel a little guilty after her accident, not that he owes her anything, Ro much like Meg is not a victim, she knew what Craig was all about, and still choose to trust him over Paul , and in Meg’s case it totally ludicrous that after Paul almost died because of Meg’s selfishness, JP wants us to believe that Paul is still consumed about Meg, and still makes excuses for her, while she is till married to Craig, and basks in his adoration, another great character wasted to prop her boring saintliness, please!

FREE PAUL!

[truefan]

:) When Paul wakes up his first throughts are of Meg. Who does he want to be with Meg. Paul/RH had some really good things to say about Meg/Marie Wilson because he like working with her. He goes to see Ro not because he wants her but because he needs her help to bring Craig down. Cady said in her interview Paul is using Ro to him get back at Craig because it is Meg he wants. Paul loves Meg and that will never change. :angel: They did not have to come back to oakdale. Paul and Ro could have stay away and lived their lives togather if that is what they wanted to do, but Paul brings Ro to oakdale because he wants to get Craig out of the way so he can be with his true love Meg. Like Paul told lily on the farm his life is and wiill always be about Meg.

Completely agree :)

[MoreRomance]

JP also says that Meg is falling for Craig because he is doing all of the right things this time around. She also says Paul's subconscious mind is actively seeking Rosanna and I for one believe that the subconscious mind is stronger than the conscious mind.

If Paul was not torn between Meg and Rosanna there would be no storyline. Rosanna never belittled Paul or asked him to change unlike Meg who was always yelling at Paul to let go of his anger at Craig and when he finally did, she was the one that drug him back into revenge mode.

Rosanna always understood why Paul did the terrible things he did and the strong hold James has over him. She also had a way of talking to Paul to make him see what he was doing was wrong without judging him. Rosanna was the angel on his shoulder that he needed to help fight the demon (James) on his other shoulder.

I haven't been this excited about a Monday's show in a very long time.

[schiffeg68]

In that article above JP says nothing about Meg 'falling' for Craig, though she does say Craig is playing nice nice and doing everything right. I bet that won't last. Especially when Paul comes back. Even though JP doesn't say Meg is falling for Craig, there are feelings there. Meg is a caring person.

I love this post. It's so true. And that is what love is all about!! It can't be denied when Paul and Rosanna are together. They have a true connection. :Wub:

[RHfan]

Sad, isn't it? And while he does it, SHE is busy kissing his worse enemy, Craig.

How pathetic can Paul get? I guess JP is writing new levels for him.

FREE PAUL!

Dysfunctionl=FUN and interesting.

Anything else= BORING and sappy.

I'll take dysfunctional ANY DAY!

:IMHO:

she rescued him from his Stenbeck legacy

Well, I remember her DEMANDING HIM to go back to his Stenbeck side in order to help her with Cabot, using emotional blackmail. This after he BEGGED her not to ask him that and told her in sanity is in line.

Excellent post!

[kelly1142]

Emily nurtured BOTH sides of him.

She believed in him, she tried to understand him, while also fighting him and trying to get him to tell Jennifer the truth. Yet she tried to understand his motivations instead of just labelling him 'bad' or a 'monster'. She understood that the 'bad' things he does come from a good place in him.

Paul hasn't had that much in his life...he even told Emily that...she gave him something he hadn't ever had - unconditional support.

Sure, they weren't innocent or healthy but that shades of gray Paul coupled with a very shades of gray relationship with Emily was why I started taping again.

With all due respect, I can't say I disagree with some of the good Rosanna brought to Paul's life, but for someone who did believe in honesty I can't get passed how she was "too late" in letting Paul know about how she herself was manipulated by James. She perpetuated his twisted hatred of his own son. I adored Pro but this killed it for me. I wanted to see her trust him...who better to deal with James Stenbeck but Paul. He was supposed to be the love of HER life. He trusted her with his fragile heart and she crushed it.

Emily would take Paul anyway she could get him, no matter how he treated the rest of the world- period. She tried to appeal to that "dark side" (the only true side she got out of him) thinking that she knew him better than anyone else...and what drove him. Supporting the good side would mean him going to someone else. He didn't love Emily and he wanted to take control of his life back from his demons.

As for Meg, I will never condemn her for what she has done. IMHO she is the one who has brought the real Paul Ryan out from hiding in the closet with those demons. She has been a forthright, positive influence, bringing him the happiness he’s only ever dreamed of. She has never tolerated his self condemnation, only fostering The GOODNESS and NOBILITY that she knew truly resided in his heart and soul even in his darkest moments.

As someone who knew Paul as a friend before anything else I think that Rosanna will recognize the influence that Meg Snyder has made on him, herself. Of course she won't acknowledge these facts too quickly as it would only sabotage what I’m sure she really wants- her life with Paul back. He may be angry as heck with Meg in this situation, but even Rosanna will never be able to deny the positive impact that Meg made on him nor the passion that he feels in all his emotions towards Meg- ESPECIALLY HOW HE LOVES HER.

Meg questioned recently at his memorial service if Paul would have done all this knowing he would loose his life...uh, yea. Paul will wake up, get passed heartache and in the end take his future by the hand with Meg. She is the one that he would die for. I look forward to the second chance they will both get with each other eventually.

Meg has given him a little bit of everything he loved in all the women before her. To me, Meg and Paul is what real love looks like. Tough on each other. Cant live without each other. Hurt each other. Protect each other. Trust each other. Forgive each other. Take each other back. Neither are saints and both are very human. Both are about to be tested more than they ever imagined by way of Craig and Rosanna. Im pulling for them both to realize where they both belong. God forbid they should find out at convenient times....or simulataneously....JP would be out of story for quite some time if that happened. GO PEG!!!! CANT WAIT TO WATCH YOU FIGHT IT OUT!:Wub:

Yes, IA. Em brought out his darker side. It was also his far more interesting side. They also brought out the hottest sexual passion I'd ever seen in a soap couple. Their dysfunction was one of the things I loved best about them. It made every second of every PEm scene fascinating. Paul was a real sexual, powerful, adult man with Em. He was not a pathetic little boy begging and pleading for his mommy's love and attention. Emily gave Paul back his manhood that Ro took away and how sad that he got them back only so briefly before Meg took them away again only she smashed them into the ground and left Paul a castrated wimp that I felt nothing but embarrassment for.

He goes to see Ro not because he wants her but because he needs her help to bring Craig down. Cady said in her interview Paul is using Ro to him get back at Craig because it is Meg he wants. Paul loves Meg and that will never change. :angel: They did not have to come back to oakdale. Paul and Ro could have stay away and lived their lives togather if that is what they wanted to do, but Paul brings Ro to oakdale because he wants to get Craig out of the way so he can be with his true love Meg. Like Paul told lily on the farm his life is and wiill always be about Meg.


Not exactly. While his conscious is asking for Meg, it's his subconscious reaching out to Rosanna. IMO, one's subconscious is much stronger and more powerful than one's conscious. I think Paul's actions speaks volumes when it comes to his love for Ro. No matter what has happened to Paul since 2005, he's always thinking of Ro. He even keeps a picture of her in his wallet. Now, if I were Meg, I wouldn't be happy to see how connected Paul is to Ro even in a coma.

Oh and Rachel11, high-five! PRo will always have the real connection. Why go with the substitute when PRo is there? :Wub:

Exactly. Just like Jack when your subconscious speaks there is no denying what your heart really feels. Paul may love Meg but he will never feel for her how he does Ro

I agree Paul loves Rosanna very much. Paul has talked about Rosanna with Meg a few times. Believe it or not, I think Meg might realize more than Paul how much he still loved her and cared about her. I think its high time that Rosanna return and their story be addressed. "Craig drove Rosanna off the road" has loomed over storylines for sooo long. Its getting kind of redundant as part of Paul Ryan's dialogue. So Im glad that we'll finally have the woman herself back to deal with it and close the book on the Rosanna coma story.

[RHfan]

I agree. And Paul is dreaming of Rosanna BEFORE he even knows about MEg's betrayal. Just like he did after Emily shot him and rolled him off a cliff last year. Thinking of Rosanna saved him then and she is saving him NOW. I'd say it's a powerful love (on Paul's part, anyway).
He can lie to himself in 'real' life and claim he wuvs MEg, but deep inside, his conscious can't lie and can't deny his true feelings.
There are plenty of issues between Pro that stop Paul from admitting his true feelings: trust, lies, secrets etc....once they work their issues, I have no doubt Paul would choose Rosanna.

At least, this is how it should be if the writing is true to history but back stage agendas and if Cady isn't staying for long could effect the SL.

[CarJackfan]

I have to agree that the writing has shown Rosanna as Paul's true love for a long time. And I do think it sounds like it will show the same sub-consciously. Because Paul and Ro do still have unresolved issues I can understand why he might deny that when he is conscious. Plus he has the recent history with Meg. Judging from Roger's interview, it sounds like Paul will still be claiming to be in love with Meg and using Rosanna to get her away from Craig. I have to think though as he "uses" Rosanna he will eventually realize it is Rosanna that he truly loves. I think some of his wanting to get Meg away from Craig will be more payback for Craig. I wouldn't expect the Paul/Rosanna reunion to be simple or where would the story be lol?

[scrawny]

That's true, CarJackfan. All of it....:)

[circleoflife]

I'm so happy that I'm not a couples fan! I love Roger and the character he plays -Paul. I'm a happy, happy girl...WELCOME BACK RH and Paul! :D
