ATWT: Friday Discussion


Recommended Posts

Lets just hope JP does not get any ideas, I really don't think I could handle Carly and Brad together, I thought Simon and Carly were horrible, but wow Brad and Carly would be just down right deplorable.

Carly and Jack need to get back together that is for sure it has been far to long :)

Brad and Carly used to be married, and he got back at her cheating on him with Jack by exposing her big lie about Parker's paternity, and he was still bitter about this when he came back this time (saying "same old Carly" or something like that), so I don't think they will be back together anytime soon.

After reading such praise for Friday's episode here in this thread, I was really let down when I watched my tape -- too much Craig, Meg, and Katie. I don't see where this supposed improvement is. Even Richard Culliton's scripting could not save this episode's dire story. Meg agreeing to Craig's unethical behavior is just about believable, but then her kissing him was ridiculous. Argh!

I'm glad Luke was involved with Faith and Natalie and Lily's drama, but it's too little too late as far as I'm concerned.

Also, shouldn't Katie recognize Brad? Granted, I don't remember them interacting before, but she was already on the show when Brad was in Oakdale before.

And then there was JJ and Jack saying it was super late at night, JJ all sleepy, while Faith and even young Natalie were still bouncing around -- what horrible non-continuity. I bet this was something done in editing, rather than a writing issue. These scenes were probably originally on two different days.

There's been some promise these past few weeks, but mostly ATWT is still a mess. The improvement in the beginning of January has not really continued.

Next week's previews do look promising though ...

I'm not really concerned about a Brad/Carly romance per say...after all, Maura just got a six month lease with Simon. It's time for her to get back to some real story, not light comedic drivel.

I'm a little more concerned TAIC will continue to bow and scrape in Katie's direction, toying with putting her in a triangle with Brad and Jack. Then when Carly returns, she think Jack is "moving on" with Katie. I don't want to believe they'd do that...but Meg is now kissing Craig. Adam's moving in on Gwen. Dusty and Emily's being hinted at. Jack having feelings for that heifer is unacceptable to me.

But then, I think about it, and it looks like Jack will be quite busy chasing Teen Terror Parker. WORKS for ME. LOL.

There isn't enough WTF in the world for there mere possibility Jack and Katie. My feelings on Jack and Katie are up there with my FF'ing of Paul and Meg, Gwen and Adam, and my utter loathing at the possibility of Emily and Dusty (though, I'm probably in the minority that I don't want it from Emily's standpoint rather than Dusty's LOL!)

    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • 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.)
