I must be the only one that likes Austin Peck in this role. :lol: I think his character on here is so much more interesting the character he played on DOOL.

LMFAO! You have me in stitches over here WG. Even though I like Austin Peck's character in this role I thought it was funny, and I like Zach Roerig but I still thought it was funny. :lol

What are yall talking about: character would have been ruined?

IMHO, Adam is ruined!!

He went from being noticeably shy, horribly insecure, loving, devoted brother/son/friend.....to......(now) mean, cruel, conniving, envious, talk-before-he-think, a-hole of a brother/son/friend.

Yes, he has been ruined. I don't know how many that makes now. But that's another Jean ruined. Adam could have had his own storyline not involving Gwen or Jade. One that would have brought his family into it.

Adam hasn't been ruined because this isn't Adam! This is what I mean about the recasts on ATWT. They are completely new characters. I wonder if they even ever try to get original actors back. It seems like they automatically go for a recast. We know Scott Bryce was available, but they got this mediocre actor to play a new character named Craig.

At least you have it on tape and are able to FF all the crap parts, I am going through hell trying to watch this crap live, I am almost ready to give up on ATWT I mean really we all have been complaining for months about the crappy writing and storylines and it has not seemed to matter to JP at all, or to CBS and PGP who must know by now that most fans are not happy, and the horrible ratings also prove it, to me it looks like they just don't care at all. :( Trust me if JP or anyone at PGP gave a rats butt, they would not have even hired Austin Peck to continue on with the stupid boring storylines revolving around 10 characters. something I think almost every fan has voiced a negative thought about. All JP cares about is the fact that we fans must have Eye Candy, who cares about a storyline when we can look at shirtless Brad all day, GMAFB. Sorry JP I don't watch for Eye Candy I watch for great storylines. I mean really what is the point of Brad other than that, there is no storyline for him just like Mike did not have a storyline, the only thing we will see Brad doing is running around with his shirt off chasing after Katie and V, that is not a storyline and is totally boring.

I really don't have that much of a problem with NuNuAdam, but I liked NuAdam better. I think my main problem is what is the point of Adam, as usual been on the show for months and still we have no purpose for him, wait come to think of it Jade has been on for almost a year and there still is no point to her either. But how can we tell these peoples stories when we are telling the story of Katie's sexcapades, and the great Simon and Carly adventure, and Will and Gwen's never ending conversation and the Who is going to kill Craig show.

Tom/Margo's storyline! It lasted ONE WEEK, there were no long lasting effects from Tom's heart attack they only used him because they HAD to to prop Emily who has shown ZERO interest in Daniel. Speaking of, they didn't even set this up by showing us Daniel and allowing us to care that he's missing.

WTF?

THAT was their once-in-a-decade storyline?!

Lisa appeared for ONE FRICKING DAY! A day that I missed because my local CBS station preempted it and never aired it. Then where are Nancy and Kim? Nancy will be back when Katie has her next orgasm, but she can't be there for her family? It was more about the teens than Margo or Tom. It was SHAMEFUL, but I will say Scott Holmes and Ellen Dolan did the best with what little catshyt they got.

I was thinking the same today. But Tom/Margo's storyline lasted just 3 days. It was featured Monday, Tuesday(with Lisa(her one day appearance) and Thursday. Poof, stroyline over!

LOL about Katie's orgasm....remark and Nancy. :lol:

Today's show sucked.

AP sucks as Brad (but that's another rant entirely).

This psychic vision crap with Paul really sucks.

Craig and Meg = Barf.

NuNuAdam sucks.

I don't give a crap about Casey or his gambling problems. Nor do I care to see Tom and Margo being used to prop Katie/Matie for the umpteenth time. When the hell is MC's last day anyway?

I'm sorry, but I just do not see the improvement that some of you are talking about. If anything, the show's just going further down the tubes.

I was one of the people who thought the show had improved, but today was awful. Austin Peck's wide-eyed attempts at looking plotting or thoughtful were the worst part. I am hopeful that Tom and Margo will continue to have some story since they were making a big deal out of Tom eating healthy today.

I like NuNuAdam, and I don't understand the "what's the point?" statement about his character. Adam is a longtime character on the show who viewers watched grow up. It makes sense that he would be back in Oakdale. We also are seeing a story with him and Jade, and him and Casey, and him and Will/Gwen.

I agree with that. ATWT was painfully awful today.

I actually want the character of Adam around Oakdale. But Jean Passanante doesn't know how to write for the character. Actually, she doesnt know how to write good for any character for that matter.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
