A New Arrival!

Friday, August 15 2008
Dani arrives in town, Casey and Emily sign annulment papers, Jack and Carly argue, Parker makes a dumb move and Katie comes up with a plan for Liberty's happiness.


At WOAK, Kim tells Brad and Katie about the hospital ordeal. Leo, a new intern, tells Kim that they need her on-set. She leaves. Brad turns to Katie and says he doesn't know what he would do if anything happened to her or Liberty. He wonders if there is a way to keep tabs on Libs. Katie tells him to trust his daughter.



At the farm, Jack tells Janet how great the day before was with Carly and how they seemed to reconnect on a friend level. She is a little jealous of that until Carly calls. She tells Jack that Parker isn't at the train station; he says Parker is just ducking her and tells her to chill out. This makes Carly angry and she hangs up on him. He doesn't understand her at all. Janet says Parker is probably with Liberty and calls her but Libs swears she is alone. Jack decides to go to the train station but won't let Janet tag along.



At the train station, Carly calls Parker over and over but he won't answer the phone. Since Jack wouldn't help, she calls Holden. When he gets there, she apologizes but he says he is happy to help. Carly tries Parker's counselor; he says Parker took an earlier train. Relieved, Carly thanks Holden and says she must have just missed Parker. He takes her to the car. At the cars, they see Jack, who is very annoyed to see them together. He says seeing them together is the last thing Parker needs! Holden and Jack argue about Carly. She steps in and leaves with Jack.


Holden goes to Al's for breakfast and Janet gives him a hard time until he tells her to cool it because he's had enough. He tells her that Jack needs to back off of Carly!


At Brad's, Liberty takes a drink of juice and then Parker walks in! He apologizes for the way they left things and says he was just mad at their parents. He kisses her; she kisses him back but when he wants to go farther, she pushes him away. She sets him in front of the television - and calls Brad! She says she didn't invite him but Parker won't leave. Brad and Katie arrive and tell Parker he is in huge trouble. He calls Jack and then shoves Parker out the door. Katie turns to Liberty, who says again that this wasn't her idea. She says it was fun hanging out with Parker but now he is weirding her out because he is so possessive!


Margo brings Tom home and tells him that he has to relax. Casey returns to tell them his marriage to Emily is over - but their relationship isn't. Tom and Margo are shocked. When Casey leaves, Margo says she isn't sure that the annulment is the right thing; Tom is certain it is.

Emily sees Susan, who tells her again that Casey is a bad husband choice. Emily tells her they are getting an annulment, which pleases Susan. Emily reminds Susan of her bad husband choices and says Casey is great for her!


Casey meets Emily at The Lakeview. Dani arrives, surprising Emily. She says she has been following the hospital case and Emily tells Casey that she is studying to be a criminologist. "Funny, after the trouble I used to get into, huh?" she says. Casey brings up his own criminal past. Casey pulls Emily to him and she realizes they are a couple. Casey leaves for a moment and Dani congratulates Emily on her younger man!


Dani runs into Susan later. They talk about Emily and Dani tells her not to worry because Casey will move on from Em very quickly once he sees how many younger women are available!

Margo meets Casey and Emily with annulment papers! They are shocked but each of them sign. Afterward, both of them feel uncertain about their decision.


Jack and Carly arrive home but Parker isn't there. JJ hears their raised voices and comes to check on things. He hasn't seen Parker either. Brad calls, tells Jack he dropped the ball because Parker is at his house and hangs up. A few minutes later, Brad shoves Parker through the door, tells Jack to take care of him and walks out! Jack tells Parker to stop going against their wishes; Parker talks back to him. Jack empties out Parker's pockets, taking his keys and his cell phone. He says from now on Parker goes to school and comes home and that's it! Parker storms upstairs. Carly tells Jack he is being more like a warden than a father, which angers him even more. He says Carly needs to stop being a friend and start being a mother! She says their new found friendship didn't last long and he storms out. Holden arrives to check on her. Carly says they have to make a clean break! She says she has to focus on the kids and she can't do that if he is around.


Upstairs, JJ asks why Parker is being such a pain. Parker says their parents are overreacting. He comes up with a plan to see Liberty and asks JJ to cover for him. JJ refuses until Parker offers to pay him $20 every time he and Liberty have a date!

Jack goes to Al's and vents to Janet.

Brad and Katie meet back up at WOAK. He is worried about Liberty. Katie suggests a new boyfriend - like Intern Leo - could give Liberty more choices!

Next on As The World Turns:

Lily tells Holden to stop watching her; he says it is a hard habit to break.

Mike reveals that the project may never be completed, worrying both Meg and Paul.

Brian Wheatley arrives in town - and warns Luke not to move too fast with Noah.

Leo comes on too strong for Liberty's taste.

I can't wait to see the s/l for Dani. It sure didn't take her long to realize her aunt Emily is involved with a very young man (Casey). I like what Dani said to Susan about Casey will soon see how many younger women are available.

I am sick of Carly/Holden/Jack/Janet/Parker/Liberty s/l's. I can't understand why these mothers (Carly, Janet, and Lily) have to rush to have sex with the first available man and neglect their children in the process. How do they expect their children to wait when they, the parents, are behaving like rabbits.

i am really sick of carly telling holden how she should stay away from him then she asks for his help or starts kissing him
and i don't get why should janet be jealous from carly and jack they cant stop fighting

WHAT? After all this, Carly tells Holden she can't see him for the sake of the kids? What? Should have thought of that before Holden ended his marriage to Lily!

I've been watching ATWT for almost 30 years and for the life of me I can't think of who Dani is. Help. I know I'll feel stupid as soon as I find out but it's really bugging me!! Thanks.

I totally agree. Let some one on this show be happy for longer then 6 seconds!

I think Dani will steal Casey away from Emily…….That will be fun to watch.

Click on “cast list” at the top of the page, left hand side. It will give you a biography of Dani and all the characters.

NO WAY will Dani steal Casey away from Em!!

Have we been watching the same show, they are writing Casey's love for Emily as real & honest & not something that will just go away the first time a younger woman walks into the picture!

Besides I heard Dani is for Chris Hughes which makes sense since it will cause jealously in Ali for sure!

i think everyone should get off of carly's back! she's trying to do the unselfish thing and stay away from holden and she has the best reason, she's putting her kids first. lily needs to get off of her high horse and leave both holden and carly alone. at least they weren't flaunting their relationship in front of the whole town.
