I didn't save my responses, but I listed Jack/Carly/Lily/Holden's tween aged kids as my FF material. And griped about the recasting of established characters that look nothing like and act nothing like the version before,.

Fire whoever you need to in order for this show to re-establish itself as the powerhouse soap that it once was and can be once again! Quit bringing on so many new faces. Bring back old actors, ask the original and most popular actors back when looking into recasting or bringing back an old character, use the vets more..every last one of them, utilize balance more..it gets pretty old seeing the same characters day in and day out, and quit de-characterizing certain characters just to write a storyline that, to most viewers, is fast forward-worthy.

[All My Shadows]

Note to oakdalelover and Actor87...the second 50th anniversary episode was definitely the clip show with the seven ladies, so you guys pretty much told TPTB that the you don't like watching episodes that focus on the older characters! Honest mistake, but not a wise one, considering the way TPTB already view the older characters...

[P.J.]

I FLove the vets, but those "tribute" shows were complete jokes. And this isn't an official CBS thing anyway...it's from SOD. Dusty described which eppy he didn't like, even if it wasn't technically the second eppy. Like the TIIC give a frack what the fans think anyway?

It's part of the reason I answered Hal's tribute was the best eppy...it was a respectful "goodbye" to Hal...what there was of it anyway.

[RogerNewcomb]

I put Chris and Nancy's 50th anniversary party as my fave episode. ATWT does not get any better than that.

As the worst, I put the sitcom parodies. That would have been ok but it was NOT a tribute to 50 great years of ATWT.

[AmandainNC28655]

I've seen these for Day, GL and now ATWT...any chance the ones for ABC will find their way here.. I would LOVE to VOICE my opinion about AMC, GH, OLTL these days. Heck I might just have to fill out the ATWT one since I do watch that show after AMC.

[R!ck]

Here ya go. There's one for every soap

[Juliajms]

The ATWT one was my favorite. There's so much I wanted to get off my chest about this show. There is so much potential, if they would just follow the talent (Trent Dawson, Maura West, Roger Howarth), instead of wasting it.

[Actor87]

RH is far from talented at acting.

Maybe talented with weird facial expressions and faking god-awful crying spells, but not acting.

As far as my mistake re: the anniversary show...I doubt SOD even notices. Lame-o's!
