That elevator scene was so ridiculous. She is such a put-on. Anyone who could stab someone in cold blood and not show any remorse,then go to pieces in a rather large elevator,is paranoid to the extreme. I wish Vivian would just go ahead and kill her and get her out of her misery. Oh, but she had Bo to come to her rescue, so she could cling to like a leach and act so needy. Poor pitiful Carly so helpless!
I’ve decided that Bo is completely stupid himself. Some of his conversation with Justin didn’t make any sense at all. He has become about as pitiful as Carly.
as to Carly freaking out in the elevator. The elevator is much like the coffin that she was buried in by Viviane. She couldn’t get out of the coffin that had been buried and she was left with little oxygen. It could cause a flashback freak-out (pts).
Just because she stabbed Lawrence and remained calm to me is more related to her being a doctor performing surgey with lots of blood and body parts – blood/life/death don’t really freak her out (she is a doctor who deals with it daily) in the same way as being stuck in an enclosed place would.
JMHO
I would agree. But Carly has been melodramatic since she got off the boat in Salem. She’s playing the damsel in distress to the hilt.
I used to like the character but now I do wish Viv and Vic would do her in!There’s a big difference in a closed coffin and an elevator with as much open space as that one had. Besides, she started going nuts even before the elevator supposedly jammed for a short time.
with Casey and Shadow! This character is a total drama queen! Ugh! She’s sooooooooo annoying, and Bo is so doo-doo brown when it comes to her! It’s pathetic. I hate watching their scenes. I wish someone would smack her and Bo a few times! Ugh.
That scene was ridiculously over the top and how convenient that Bo just happened to be walking by the elevator as she was inside screaming like a complete idiot. Thank you writers for making me dislike Carly. The woman has been in an elevator several times and now you make her look claustrophobic and manipulative. Stupid, stupid scene.
regarding Carly Manning. I thought I was going to really enjoy her return, but I find her annoying and, what’s worse, playing on Bo’s heart due to his and Hope’s marriage difficulties. If she really decided she did not want to interfere, she would not. So, I think she’s just manipulating Bo to her advantage now, and that’s not the Carly I wanted to see return, and this is not the storyline I had in mind when she did. Now, I just want her to go away, and find myself rooting for Vivian to give me a repeat performance of her destiny in Salem. Sorry, Crystal, I just don’t like your character this time around.
It is the writers who are ruining Carly for us. Crystal is an excellent actor and I feel bad that they are doing this to her character. I wanted to like her return but the writers are not going to allow that to happen.
Why couldn’t the writers have let her come to town and maybe develop a relationship with one of the single guys in town. Justin is on the verge of divorce, not that I am happy about that, but I would rather see her and Justin start up with each other and tick off Victor, than to have seen her worm her way into Bo’s life and prey on his emotions. I agree, I liked Carly before, but this time around is not enjoyable. We have on one to blame but the writers.
I dislike what Carly is doing to Bo and I think Bo is STUPID for even thinking about Carly that way.
But as for the elevator, I totally understand that. If you are claustrophobic you will act that way depending on how serious your case is. So killing someone has nothing to do with tight spaces, therefore her reaction to it would be completely different. So I get her ranting and raving in that scene, that was VERY realistic. Especially since she knew Vivian had something to do with it.
That this Bo/Hope split is VERY short lived and that Justin and Carly start to bond. I am hoping the Hope and Justin find out about the daughter and this starts to bring everyone closer to the correct partners. than I will like the role of Carly better. I think it will be much better her getting close to her daughter, working to defeat Vivian, and doing this all with the help of Justin. And maybe even Hope and Bo pitching in while they fix their marriage. I hope at some point (maybe when Hope find the secret) that one of them suggests councelling and they go for it. That would be a good SL.
they can’t even enter an elevator, or any closed in place for that matter, so the idea that she even got into an elevator told me that she simply had a panic attack over being in the elevator with Vivian, and had nothing to do with true claustrophobia. My first husband was severely claustrophobic. The maternity ward at the hospital where we had our son was on the 15th floor, and the poor thing walked 15 flights up and 15 back down every day (back in those days you were in the hospital 3 days when you had a baby…not like now…in and out the same day). Anyway, I think if she were really claustrophobic, she could not have even gotten into the elevator.
There are different levels. I am slightly claustrophobic and the oddest things trigger me freaking out. I also sometimes can calm myself down in certain situations. I put some examples below
If my husband were to throw a comforter on top of my face I freak out, because I cannot breath "fresh" air. Trust me he has done it and lets say he won’t do it again because of how hysterical I got.
I can be in closed spaces for short periods of time, but when we were at Disney the other day our monorail section was very crowded, which I could deal with until it stopped in the middle of the tracks to wait for another monorail to leave the station. This freaked me out and I had to work very hard at calming myself down so I would look like Carly. But until it stopped, I was ok. My husband said that a monorail got stuck for an hour the other day, I told him I would crawl over the seat into the other less crowded section if we were there much longer – lol
If I go to get a MRI, I am good with most machines, but this one was more closed in. Both ends were open, so I was still getting fresh air, but I had to close my eyes and talk myself down. I was paniced for the first couple minutes and the only thing that saved me I needed it and there was no way I was starting the time all over again.
Everyone is different and certain things "trigger" a panic mode. Some people can calm themselves down from these panic attacks. Others cannot control them at all. Others are like your first husband who avoid all situations. Depends on the level of claustrophobia. I think that is with any thing though, like my mom cannot get on a stepstool she is so afraid of heights, but others can who are afraid of heights.
I don’t think Carly was claustrophobic, per se, but it was the closed elevator bringing back memories of being buried in that casket that brought on the panic attack. I think if I had been buried like that, I’d end up, not just claustrophobic, but insane…well, more insane than I already am.
I just can’t imagine how horrific something like that would be.
BTW, I’m not claustrophobic at all but I could very well lose it when I have to have an MRI. I have to keep my eyes closed and think about something pleasant.
I agree with the degrees of claustrophobia. I have no problem being in enclosed spaces as long as I can move my arms or I’m not penned in. I couldn’t play any games when I was little where I was tied up such as cowboys and Indians where we pretended to tie someone to a tree. When going for an MRI I’m OK if I can keep my arms over my head and be able to move them but if I have to keep my arms inside where they don’t have the freedom to move I freak. Even if I don’t move them I can’t feel penned in at all.
