I am not a fan of the character of Carly nor have I been a fan of Crystal Chappell....but today I may have to rethink my opinion of both.... Carly's pain on losing the young patient was played so well, I felt her pain and later her despair....the shaking hand was perfect (hope Mr. Scott was watching)...her confusion and loss of focus in giving Maxine med orders was suddle and realistic....and after giving herself the tranquilizer injection, she broke down and I believed it....very nice job of acting....I am looking forward to this new s/l...I know, it's Carly and I'm looking forward to the s/l....who'd have thunk it...  ?!!!!! BUT, why did she have to ram that needle into her leg like she was being gored by a bull in Pamplona....?? Geeeez, it's like a tiny needle, just stick it in..... |

I agree, it was very well done and very believeable. My only gripe was the amount of time that transpired during the episode. It opens on the guy dying and Carly calling TOD at 5:30 (or so). She talks to folks in the hall, goes to see Jenn (who says she's made reservations for dinner for 6pm), goes down to the pier where she sees Bope, goes back to the hospital and it's all in less than 30 mins? If dinner was supposed to be at 7, I could've bought the pacing. But it all seemed too fast.

I thought she was amazing too! I always liked CC as an actress, but never really like Carly. I think, if played right, I will enjoy this storyline a lot. I hated how she jabbed the needle right through her clothes like it was gonna be hard to get it through. LOL Ridiculous. They don't jab their patients like that.

I have now watched the show and you are right. The scenes were great, not overplayed and totally believable (time lapse notwithstanding). This was the first time since the revelation that Melanie is her daughter that we have gotten a glimpse into Carly's emotional state.
And I have to say FINALLY they used flashbacks correctly. This is how flashbacks should be used -- to see inside a character's feelings. Not merely to repeat and re-repeat something we just saw yesterday. Good job of helping the viewer understand Carly's thoughts.

I thought she knocked it out of the park. It was amazing. I wanted to cry with her and I am not a Carly fan. It was very well done except for the timeline thing and her shoving the needle into her leg. I can understand just jabbing it into yourself out of desperation but it was a little over the top for my taste.

Crystal is an amazing actress. When I read about this story, I wasn't sure if I was going to like it. Now, that it is playing out, I'm excited. I want to see more Carly away from Bo and Bo/Hope. I think she can have this story that is all about her and the pain she's carried since before arriving in Salem. I'm looking forward to her daughter Melanie and best friend Jennifer being there for her. At least that is how I hope they play it.

Do you think Melanie has the capability to be there for her mother, or for anyone...?? I'm sure Melanie will only see it as how it affects her personally......

I see Melanie as a character that can still change. I think being there for your mother is not something you initially know or want to do in life, but something you may have to learn how to do for whatever reason. So, we'll see.....
