I would have to day that today's show was just so-so, not nearly has good as yesterday, Today's highlights would have to be Parker and then Emily's storyline. I am really enjoying this Parker I know that everyone thinks he is being a punk, which he is but the actor is doing a great job of portraying a teen. Also Emily's storyline looks like it might really be good, I think they have set it up pretty good. Will/Gwen/Adam are just boring, someone just needs to end this storyline already. I liked Brad alittle bit more than previous days maybe because he talked in a much quieter voice today.

Also I don't know if anyone else noticed this but Fatih said something about how great Vienna looks to Parker and Parker said something like yeah if your into that kind of thing, I don't know if the line was meant to mean something but it caught me off guard, and it could be interesting if it does mean something.

I watched today's episode.

Am I the only one that got a bad vibe when Parker told Faith he likes blowing up things? I can see the writers turning Parker into a complete hellraising psychopath.

I just wanted to shove food into Faith's mouth :lol:

Oh, and it's nice to see Austin Reed travelling around the country. I wonder where he dropped Carrie off at.

I think he deserves every "talentless hack" comment he gets. Somehow I think it's hardly the first time he's been hit with criticism, coming over from DOOL. I just wonder how he's going to deal with being virtually ignored by the press now he's on ATWT.

On to today's show....Parker rocks!!! (from the previews, I can hardly wait for tomorrow...) I'm sure Parker's comment re:Vienna had to do with her relentless hitting on any man she sees. I did find it a sweet thing to say to Faith, although I'm sure he's unaware of how Faith feels about being skinny. He really is able to hold his own in scenes with Jack. I think he's a keeper.

I felt really bad for Will today. His brother orchestrated it perfectly, making it seem like Will gave himself enough rope to hang himself. Gwen is a poor excuse for a wife, that's for sure. The last time he was framed, she smelled it right away.

Emily the Hooker. Ick. Boy, she must be something to earn $1000 a pop.

I guess I should make some comments about the show.

So, Emily's joining the very elite club that B&B's Jackie is familiar with. LOL! I can buy Emily with her desperate need for male attention, but... I'm just gonna wait and see how this story progresses. I mean, how low can a person get. It might be an interesting story.

Does Jean Passanante think she can make Brad completely unlikable and the fans will enjoy it. There's just not one think likeable about the character like there used to be, and much of that has to do with the way the actor is playing the role. A good actor can overcome piss poor writing and bring something to the role that will make the audience feel something for him.

This whole Gwen/Will miss is stupid. I don't buy for one minute that Gwen would fall for this crap. It's just senseless.

I actually like the whole Snyder family story with Lily and Faith. It's probably the only thing I'm enjoying right now on the show.

There's something about Emily's storyline that makes me really uncomfortable. I know Emily has pulled a lot of stunts in the past, but this is a little too low for her. I hate how the writers are making every woman on this show pathetic!! Now, the real Emily would have marched up to that guy and shoved the $1,000 down his throat. But this one sees the money, and gets the idea to "go pro"?? :rolleyes:

Gwen is so stupid. This character has been destroyed IMO. She used to be a lot stronger. Now she's being duped by a bunch of morons.

Why do TIIC insist on making so many characters unlikable? I already can't stand Brad.

At a certain age, casting should be perfect! Austin Peck is in his late 30s and is being out-acted by Faith and Parker. He just needs to retire right now. The fact that he failed miserably at his screentest TWICE and STILL got the job is RIDICULOUS. And I do believe Peck is WORSE here than on DAYS. Why? Because the cast here is so talented which further highlights his shortcomings and he seems to be trying to hard at humor, sex appeal, etc. and it just highlights what an AWFUL actor he is. It was better on DAYS when it clearly didn't give a crap and would fade into the background.

Making Brad a homophobe has completely killed the character for me. And the fact that he still made homophobic remarks after learning Luke was gay is not a good thing. Vienna is being wasted with this terrible story when she should be rocking the house with Henry.

Kelly Hensley has an AMAZING body, I wonder how she's going to look as her pregnancy develops. Still I hate this story and find it too out of character for Emily. The way women are written on this show reminds me of GH back when pregnant Sam was getting kicked in the stomach.

Gwen and Will's story is INSANELY BAD! They are so self-absorbed and go from one story to the next! Who decided to make these two the focal point of the show? It's ridiculous and has ruined both characters, not to mention Adam or the new character being called Adam.

Can we get an amen? ATWT casting is so insanely hit or miss, it's mind boggling. I think they did a good job casting all the children, but nuAdam and Brad just suck.

Today's show was ok. Emily's storyline didnt bother me that much. Who would have thought that two kids would be front and center on ATWT. It sure looks like it with Parker and Faith. I dont mind it actually. But those two actors put AP to shame. They run circles around him. Can you imagine if AP had scenes with the great Elizabeth Hubbard or Colleen Zenk Pinter?

Brad sucks! I will keep saying that till he leaves the show. He is not needed. Why was he hired?

Gwenie is so stupid. I am tired of her being so dumb! What happened to the Gwen that came to Oakdale?

    • 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.
