As the World Turns - MESSAGE BOARDS

If anyone is a fighter on the show IT'S CARLY.

She needs to stop giving Jack and everyone else excuses to knock her down and judge her. It's always just one mistake one after the other.

I really wish she could kick this drinking thing. She is stronger than this, and every time she picks up a bottle I want to smack her!

And the others are being extremely naive. Given Carly's track record they should know not to trust her self-proclaimed rehabilation so easily. They should be checking the house constantly for alcohol and doing whatever is necessary to make sure she's not using. To some that may seem like a breach of trust/privacy, but with substance abusers if you really care about them sometimes you have to break that trust and take everything they say/do with a grain of salt.

I hope this s/l is resolved soon because it's getting frustrating and a bit monotonous.

Do you agree or disagree with Jack asking Carly to take a breath test? I think Craig should have approached it from Carly's side in an attempt to put his mind at rest that she isn't drinking. What he should have said was go ahead Carly show him you are serious, show him you aren't drinking blow in his little toy so we can shut his mouth. See it looks like your going against Jack which makes you look good to Carly and at the same time your confirming whether she is still drinking or not. Everyone puts Jack down for being hard on Carly but that is what she needs to keep her honest. Anyone who has ever been to boot camp knows you have to break them down before you can build them up. Jack is the only one who doesn't have his head up in some cloud about Carly's drinking. Craig and Parker are going to be very disappointed if they don't start paying attention to what Carly is doing and quit believing every word out of her mouth and start calling her on some of her behavior.

Craig is a manipulating SOB and Carly is being manipulated royally. Craig is the root of all Carly's problems. He will NEVER change. I am just surprised Carly's sister lets Craig manipulate her. Craig jail no pass go. Carly just be what you are the worst mother, alcoholic and prostitute spread those loins like the HO u r.

I just feel for Carly and the s/l. Here she is ready to deliver and all the writers can come up with is her sneaking into the kitchen, SAME cabinet and location (some hiding place) and swilling vodka. Ugh. Got to be so boring for her.

Carly has always been one of my favorite characters, her character has always been somewhat controversial. When the writers let her run off with Simon and leave her children I was very annoyed. Now not soon after she has gained the forgiveness from her kids and Jack for that, the writers make her an alcoholic- lying, manipulating and losing their trust once again. Please stop making Carly into someone I will have to stop liking.
