ATWT: The 100 Things We Love About It

[psychofan]

30.) Lucinda gets a fair use of airtime, whereas other soaps don't showcase their vets near as often

31. Hearing the name WOAK makes me happy

32. The midway previews are gone that makes me happy

33. The show is more balanced lately that makes me happy

34. Mick Hazen is a great actor and Parker is a great character

35 - Paul & Meg are not together right now.

36 - The great Helen Wagner has been playing Nancy since the beginning. Absolutely love her.

[WTGH]

37. Good Production Values: Our show doesn't look cheap, unlike OTHER ones...

38. I Love Marie Wilson.

Latest SON Drama: Will the ATWT 100 Things We Love About it Thread ever reach 100? Find out this week, on "ALL MY SONs"

[KLN]

I'll contribute.

39.) Elizabeth Taylor as Helena Cassadine! Oh, wait... wrong show, LoL. I'm gonna say... they were nice for taking in some of the displaced AW actors.

[SteveFrame]

40 - Martha Byrne one of the greatest actresses of her generation

41 - When we get to see Kim & Bob's kitchen set; very well done

[All My Shadows]

42. Having so many characters who have been around forever. Many of them aren't the same people they used to be, but they still have the same connections, family, and in some cases, mannerisms. I'm talking Paul, Craig, Dusty, Emily, etc. Annoying sons (and daughter) of [!@#$%^&*]es, but their OUR annoying sons (and daughter) of [!@#$%^&*]es. And in Emily's case, she really IS the daughter of a [!@#$%^&*]!

43. I absolutely heart it when we get sponsor tags...it takes me back to the 90s. "AS THE WORLD TURNS is sponsored by...Spray and Wash!" or "Tomorrow on AS THE WORLD TURNS, sponosored by Simon and Schuster..."

44. Lucinda, Tom, and Margo are MAJOR parts of MAJOR storylines. Just a month ago, that was barely true.

45. All of the teens are connected to long-standing characters. Casey is a Hughes; Will is Barbara's son; Gwen is Carly's sister; Adam is Margo and Hal's son; Luke is Lily's son; Jade is Lily's niece.

46. The guys aren't constantly strutting around half-naked for no reason. When we do get to see Casey or Will or Adam or Dusty or someone shirtless (or better yet, toweled), it is an EVENT and is something not to miss!

47. Dan Region saying....Join us tomorrow for ATWT!....or This is Dan Region inviting you to join us again on Monday for ATWT!!!

Man, do I miss his voice at the end. We dont even have end credits with music anymore.

[P.J.]

48. Colleen Zenk Pinter, one hell of an actress. The day Doug Marland unleashed her inner [!@#$%^&*] was a great day in soap history.

49. James Stenbeck. Arguably the BEST villian ever. (Minus Hogan's tinkering.)

50. Oh, by the way....Hogan's gone too.

51. The odds are against Austin Peck surviving six months. There's something about those beady eyes that grosses me out.

[Ms. Walsh]

Nice ones P.J.

I have another one to add:

52. The P&G logo at the end. I just really like it. I look forward to it at the end of every episode.

[P.J.]

53. They wasted no time in dropping Mike's picture from the opening. Yes, it's selfish...but hey...LOL.

54. JP is arguably a sick, twisted, motherf---er, who enjoys screwing over the fans by destroying the characters. But at least she spreads it around. Just when I thought Carly couldn't be redeemed, JP went out of her way to make Emily enjoy being a hooker.

55. Goutman pushes the envelope. They don't always work, but he's always trying something.

56. They finally got rid of those idiotic half-time previews. 'Tho I think that's probably some money thing.

*lol* I like the sing-songy PGP logo flash too.

Random question, is the show approaching its 60th anniv in april?

[P.J.]

No, it should be it's 51st anniversary. It debuted in 1956.

[King]

Ohhh, ok. Thanks PJ.

WHat did the show do last April to celebrate 50th?
