Topic: Craig: It looks like I chose the right sister.

I near choked on my Coke when Craig uttered that ignorant line to Margo. He had the nerve to say that, based on Carly's antics, it looked like he chose the right sister. WTH? He knew what and who Carly was when he pursued her. It was good enough for him before Rosanna came back to town. What an a$$.

I can't believe the 180 Craig's done in regards to his feelings towards Carly.  Good grief, now he's talking to her the way Jack does!

Why oh why can't they hire new blood and pair him with Carly, a man who loves only her and will respect her?

Why ? Because she doesn't have the sense God promised a goat...she wouldn't appreciate a really nice, quality guy...she's so hung up on Jaaack she can't see past the end of her nose !! **

CannaLily, I don't know why the writers chose to take Carly and Craig in this direction. While I was never convinced she actually loved him, I really thought he loved her. It surprised me that he would not only get involved with Rosanna while Carly was in rehab, but he took the affair public before telling Carly. That's the part that really burned my butt. Now that the secret is out, Craig is being downright cruel to Carly. His attitude is that now that they gave her a half-a$$ed apology, she should get over it. Pulease...they're lucky Carly doesn't put her foot up their butts each time she sees them. They carreid on an affair in HER house in front of her children. She's got a right to be angry for years to come. *Sarcasm on* And as far as Carly finding a decent, loving, respectful man is concerned, it's not like she has a former love out on a road trip trying to make sure she's not alone. RME *Sarcasm off* (eom) Mandi

...and, yes, I realize that Jack is trying to make amends for accidentally killing Brad by ensuring his family is taken care of. Instead of hunting through Katie's numerous husbands, he ought to divorce the manicotti-slinging heifer and marry Katie himself. He could raise his nephew as his son, and at the same time get away from the vicious cow who keeps blaming him for Brad's death. At least Katie understands what happened. But, I digress...

Now that Craig has declared his undying love for Ro let him move on with her & remove himself from Carly's life permanently. Let him be a cypher on someone else's life. Preferably Janet.

Craig and Janet together...that would be interesting. I wonder if she could bully the hell out of him like she does everyone else in town. (eom) Mandi

Craig's an idiot. Carly has her issues, but she's not stupid. He really did have the nerve to say that after all the crap he has pulled. Yeah, you chose the right sister, I guess.. who doesn't want to be shown how much they are loved by being run off the road? GMAB.

I was rooting for Carly and Craig. Now I think Carly is much better off without him.

Carly is definitely better off without that cheating scum. When do you think she'll find out about the money laundering, and Craig's eventual acceptance of Sweet Uncle Ralphie as a partner? (eom) Mandi

ro and craig have zero chemistry even their kisses seem fake, hell yeah you choose the wrong sister.

Rosanna and Craig's kisses are awful. I see absolutely no chemistry between them. It even looks like Cady has to force herself to let JL touch her. (eom) Mandi

I hate talking about the skills of the actors, but I find Cady to be terrible when she is acting with Jon. She does this weird thing with her eyes.. even more so when they kiss.

yes, Yes, YES! I said this in response to another post. Cady flutters her eyelids a lot while kissing JL. It's distracting, and looks like she's uncomfortable. (eom) Mandi

Cady flutters her eyes all the time period!! The last time she was on the show she did the eye thing and giggled all the time. I was so glad to see her go and won't miss her when she leaves this time. Bettybee

What I want to know is why would either sister want this loser?  They’ve both been involved with him before.  They both know Craig is incapable of loyalty to anyone, wife, girlfriend, children, business partners (I would say friends but he doesn’t have any).  Why would Carly or Rosanna, supposedly smart, savvy women put themselves through this again?  It’s making both of them look really dumb.  This is the man who supposedly left Rosanna bankrupt and tried to kill her (she believes), then one roll in the hay and it's all good, suddenly they're in love again?

Well, Rosanna currently looks like the dumber of the two, as she's now in love with him. I hope Ro and Craig are not happy together for long. (eom) Mandi

If Carly and Craig's long history is an indication, one would think Craig's feelings for her were real. Apparently the writers are telling us they weren't. The relationship always seemed one-sided to me - Craig really and truly wanting Carly, Carly dependent upon Craig to be her enabler. I loved the way Craig stood up for Carly and tried to wean her off her addiction to Jack when he first came to town. I actually don't care that he's with Rosanna, let them have each other, but it is soooo evident that this is merely a plot device and I hope they don't bring Craig back into Carly's orbit, at least not as a love interest.

I get the feeling we are supposed to ignore Craig and Carly's history in favor of Craig and Rosanna's history. Apparently what Craig felt for Carly didn't compare to his lingering feelings for Rosanna. (eom) Mandi

Oh good lord! I can't believe that I am starting to really dislike this character. Craig acts like Carly's the maniac for being livid at this betrayal. What the heck is that about?

Replies: (list all replies)

Although I never believed Carly loved Craig, I thought he loved her. Now I don't believe he ever did. If he actually loved her, he'd have never carried on with Rosanna. I was particularly infuriated with the way he paraded his partner in crime around town, without any regard for Carly. How disrespectful! Carly has every right to blast him (and Rosanna for that matter) at every opportunity. (eom) Mandi

LOL...yes, Craig, by all means pat yourself on the back for screwing Ro-ro. Making backup plans (after screeching all summer how committed you were on building a life with Carly when she came home) is so admirable of you.

And btw, I wonder if Ro-ro knows he "made a choice" to stick it out with her. If he loves Ro-ro, he shouldn't have had to make any "choice". Asshat. I wish that guard had shot him in his "choice" appendage.

It would have been nice if the guard had smacked Craig right upside the head with that tray. (eom) Mandi
