ATWT: Tuesday Discussion


Recommended Posts

Today's show was better. But after yesterday's show it was not hard to do. The highlight had to be seeing Luke and hint/glimpse of a storyline coming up. The Susan/Emily/Tom scenes were good as well. The rest was the same old.

And Brad must go! There is no need for this character.

I agree the highlights were Luke and Susan/Tom/Emily, Emily made me cry today, so that right there made the show good for me, anytime they can make me cry it is good. I agree with you about the rest of it the Gwen/Will scenes are getting old fast, I think they repeated the same lines about 5 times on today's show, lol. I know not many people are going to join me in saying that Emily's storyline looks promising, but it looks like it might be, key word as always being "looks".

I agree Brad needs to go, either that or get a different actor, I heard all the warnings about Austin Peck but never in my worse dreams did I think an actor could be as bad as him, I can see why they have him shirtless all the time, that is about the only appeal Peck has to offer, it certainly is not acting. and BTW I don't really think he is that good looking either.

ATWT should be above hiring a less talented actor for a useless role just for his muscles. But a las, it isn't.

Seeing Luke and the Snyders made the show better for me. At least Luke was acknowledged today. They will go somewhere with the school stuff but not a bashing I don't think.

Vienna gets way too much airtime.

I sobbed at the Daniel and Emily scenes. I just felt horrible for Emily. Now I AM an Emily fan, admittedly, and I know she's done some horrible things, but I just felt terrible for her, that everyone seems to just be like "suck it up Emily" about Daniel going away. And for her, that's one top of losing baby Jenny, losing Paul, losing Hal...

It was great to see Susan as well!

What makes Austin Peck look so bad is that they are putting him in scenes right off with truly great actors. I kind of like him with Vienna because I don't think she can act that well either.

But in scenes with Michael Park and then with Martha Byrne, Van Hansis, Jon Hensley and the like - he can't keep up. He really sticks out like a sore thumb.

I thought he had gotten better toward the end of his run on Days this time, but he is not bringing it on ATWT at all.

I only enjoy when he has his shirt off and is standing there not saying anything.

If they wanted a hunk, there are so many actors out that they look just as good and can act.

Vienna is much-better with Henry. I don't understand why the writers can't give him a storyline of his own. He's always playing sidekick to Katie or Emily or some annoying character. I can tolerate Vienna. The actress isn't that strong, but if they keep her around for comic relief, I think she'd be good.

Tom and Margo sending Daniel to boarding school? :blink: Is he that much of a hassle? I know that Emily is a bad mom, but I think the whole thing is a little extreme.

Lily and Faith's storyline does bother me. The actress does play a bratty Faith really well, but I think it's really unsettling that they just hired her because of the way she looks.

Wow, Adam is so annoying! I really can't stand him. I still don't understand why he hates Will, or why he seems to not like Casey much either. He needs to calm down. ATWT needs to stop re-casting characters and then giving them complete 180s in their personalities. (Same w/ Brad).

Everyone wonders about the little girl portraying Faith, but hello! What's this saying to Martha Byrne? "Uh...we realize you just had a baby, but you really need to lose weight". I can only imagine they're making her exercise and eat less or something so she gets skinnier and the s/l is more "realisitic".

And I'm sorry but I just cant let this recent SORAS obsession go....Why didn't they cast Natalie as a 10 year old? Instead, Faith is the ten year old. So now instead of (the way it should be) Faith, who's older than Natalie, who's one year older than Sage....it's Faith and Sage are the same age & Natalie is the youngest. :rolleyes: Idiots!

IDIOTS!!

I used to rush back to the dorms just to watch this show but now, I miss it every day. I think the last episode I saw in full was like a week and a half ago and that was only one day that I watched. Every now and then, I'll catch little snippets. But now I've gotten to the point where I just don't watch anymore. This show has become such a trainwreck.

I think Faith is supposed to be about 12. I can buy Sage and Nat (from what I've seen) as about the same age.

I don't worry about Martha because she's an adult. And honestly, I don't think she looks any different now than she did before her last pregnancy. (If I were her, I'd be relieved not to have to wear her brown-hued wardrobe she had before anyway...LOL) She can whip off her slightly baggy sweater at the end of the day and know she's not battling those last few pounds.

And speaking of clothing...that was the least hooker-ish outfit Emily's ever worn...and she gets picked up? LOL...

I think they had Martha wear some baggy clothes right after she returned from maternity leave, making her look heavier than she really is. She's now wearing more form fitting clothes (like the red top she wore on Tuesday's show), and it looks like she's "magically" lost weight.

    • 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.
