Sneak Peek: Paul sees a ghost.

Sometimes these are off. I know Paul sees James on today's show, does that mean he sees another ghostly vision next week??

[RHMWFAN]

Is James a hallucination....or so we're to believe. Maybe he appears and Paul doenst know whats real and what is just a vision. Maybe another Christmas dream...or a nightmare?

[scrawny]

Nightmare. He's been living it for how many years now? You know....with the slag.

[Starlight3]

Is the ghost that Paul sees James? Gee, I hope so. Anything to see Anthony Herrera as James again! (I sure hope James is really alive)!

YES, and I've been saying this...James is the reason Paul did everything he did; it comes out of a sense of feeling responsible for his father's death and the last words James said to him...that he wasn't worthy. So now, Paul set out to try to feel worth, but this isn't who he really is, so it's driving him to insanity. He's falling apart and by the following week, he'll end up in the psych ward. ;)

[The Intruder]

for real?? he needs the psych ward and a rubber room and a straight jacket.

Yea, Intruder; although I hate that Paul has taken on this guilt over his 'unworthy' father, I can't help but cheer for Roger as he continues to give Emmy worthy performances. Paul will be forgiven and redeemed because he's in a crazy state, and it will be dealt with. He needs to exorcize James from his psyche once and for all and I believe this is exactly where this story is going. They're having Paul deal with James before he takes on the role of father with his own little girl. :hug:

[hbgrrrrl]

Whaaaah, my daddy made me do it. Whaaah, I'm not worthy.

Give me a break. He is what he is.

No one takes that kind of excuse when other characters are defended for their current actions being a result of their upbringing.

Paul's almost 40. GMAB.

Personal responsibility, please.

Carly, Emily, Craig and every other naughty citizen of Oakdale has to be a grown up but Paul gets to be a big, mental baby?


Then he should never be anywhere near a real baby then.

Yea, only none of the above named characters had James for a father. The man is sick and has made Paul do and believe sick things. Who makes their own child dig big holes for non-existent treasures after making them believe his employee is going to murder their wife and child if they don't do exactly as he says, has their own child thrown overboard while tied to a cement block in order to 'test' them, or make them believe they killed you when they didn't, makes them choose between a woman they care about or a child and then makes them believe they're responsible for killiing the child (Rosanna/Cabot)? Paul has been through more torment than anyone I've ever seen in any soap and this story is about Paul going crazy because of the 'culmination' of all the things James has done to him over the years, but especially this last go-around. GO ROGER; YOU ROCK!!

I can't wait til Paul is free of James for good and heals, together with his family. :Wub:
