I finally saw the show. It was a good show but could have had better cliffhanger since it wont be on until Tuesday. I loved the Nuke stuff. I can see both sides. Luke and Noah I can relate to a lot. A line that struck me was when Noah told Luke, "It's not all about you". I was once told that by a guy. :lol: I took me back. :P

The Holden and Lily scenes were good as well. But I am tired of the scenes happening in front of the damn mall...LOL. That and WOAK. Where does Noah live? Cant they have scenes at his place or at Luke's house?

Jack/Carly/Katie....hmmmm...it was ok. But I am tiring of it. Jack is a jerk. And Katie is wearing blinders. Carly just needs to have the impression that she doesnt care anymore about Jack. Because that's what Jack loves the most the attention Carly is giving him. If she left him alone I guarantee who would be visiting Carly every chance he got!

The direction from Christopher Goutman was awful! I hated it!

I've only just started watching the Luke and Noah story thanks to YouTube last night. I'm pretty much caught up.

I'm still not enjoying this story as I should because there are glaring holes in it -- no doubt because Passanante is one of the hackiest of hacks in the business. Some aspects aren't making sense and I don't think she truly "gets" it. But I have enjoyed some of the dialog at least. But the plot itself is horrible. Noah's written as a tease who knows exactly what he's doing one minute, and then as some confused, unsure, nubile idiot who just wants Daddy's approval the next. Luke, I can identify with more in this story. Especially in the beginning. Falling for the straight guys, having on crushes on friends and having those friends want to stay friends EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW YOU'RE CRUSHING ON THEM!!

I'm in a similar situation right now -- except I am far from friends with his pathetic excuse of a beard.

I'm also not sure how to feel about Maddie. Sometimes I care about her, other times I'm annoyed with her. Like for instance, I was like "you're just DUMB!" during her scenes when she decided to move in with Noah. I'm like, FOR WHAT REASON? YOU STARTED DATING A MONTH AGO! And then, other times, I do care about her, like on Friday's show. She's in the dark and she's making huge life decisions based on an equally huge lie. I was like, WORK IT, GIRL! when she called Luke and Noah out on their overused Creative Differences lie.

I just wish somebody was heavily rewriting and editing a lot of Passanante's plots (which is why I haven't watched ATWT entirely), because it's just too many beats she's skipped in this story. Too many conversations that should've been had, but weren't.

I watched the entire week's worth o shows this past weekend and it doesnt seem as bad people have been complaining about. It held my interestes through everything except the Henry/Vienna stuff. Now that was boring. But other than that, ATWT seems pretty fine to me. Granted Im not a fan so I wouldnt understand any of the criticisms

I'm not a fan, either, but I have witnessed Jean Passanante downright SLAUGHTER All My Children, and watching only the Luke and Noah storyline segments via YouTube... I have to say, I smell her horrid stench because of the uneven writing. So I can only imagine what ATWT fans are going through watching the entire show as a whole every single day -- not just 6 minutes of edited storyline.

My heart goes out to you guys. :wub:

I haven't been able to stand ATWT at all since that damn random September Ice Storm last year. It wasn't until Noah/Luke started up around the Branson storyline that I started watching again. And I still can't stand the Meg/Ryan/Craig bullshit. It is the most boring, repetitive crap. Now they brought back Cady McClain and I thought this might get me excited about something else going on with this show....but she's even boring by association. The storyline is stale :(

Also, I've been rooting for Carly/Jack for so long now, that I'm just worn out! It's like it'll never happen...

I agree completely that the storytelling has major holes in it, but I can understand Maddie. You know what it feels like when you're in an nascent part of a story, when your feelings run high and you start to feel overly attached to someone even though all that might just evaporate one day, and you try to hold on to every little bit of that other person's feelings you sense... And you try to catch her/him with your claws with every device that comes to your mind.

      That was such a dark story. I never liked Swamp girl after that. And then the dating your cousin thing. I think wasn’t Max in a triangle with two of his cousins?

      Thank you, @j swift.  I'm probably more sympathetic to Draper Scott than most audience members are -- even though I'm absolutely CRAZY about Ann Williams & her bizarre Margo Huntington character

      The more I watch these episodes -- and I've watched several of them a zillion times, I'm ashamed to admit -- you realize there's a WHOLE lot of passive-aggressive hostility brewing inside Margo Huntington about Draper.  She wants to take April AWAY from him and recreate the childhood that she never got to experience with April, because of the adoption 25 years ago.  Draper has sense enough to realize how heartless and vindictive Margo really is about other people's lives and their feelings, but he bites his tongue rather than poison his wife's mind about how horrible her mother really is.  And I admire him for that.  He's a sweet boy.

      Unfortunately, as the 90s wore on, Felicia started wearing as many gray and neutral tones as Giorgio Armani and Donna Karan could produce, and the shoulder pads deflated to a drop sleeve.

      I think Dante is reacting how most parents would react.

      5-2   Lord... At least the week started off well...I think. I don't know where to start.   Oh, yes, I do. It was mostly background noise to me. There was nothing to the majority of the characters that were on. Meaning, it was mostly characters that I didn't care for or I've gotten accustomed to just FF-ing through. Or just zoning out. Even the possibility that Michael and Lauren might have a story was just meh simply because we have done this dance before and Lauren was coming across like Michael was working for Sonny on GH the mob.   The biggest thing I really took away from last week was that the new costumer designer has stepped up her game again. It didn't bother me at all, but I wish there was some drama with this fashion. I liked Claire's outfit, LOVE Nikki's. And I continue to like brighter colors on Nick though I hated those pants. And I could go on about the clothes misses like Billy in that short sleeeve, but I digress.   The only things that held my interest...   THE SICKENING OF COLE. As soon as he started to cough, I went uh oh. I'm happy to see he might be getting a story. And I guess it shows how much history I have with the character that I care. But still...ugh.   ALL THINGS AUDRA. I admit that I was taken aback to see Victor with her at Crimson Lights. When was the last time he was there? I want to say recently with Kyle/Claire, but otherwise I still found the scene taking me aback. But I like her being soft with Kyle who actually came across annoyingly flirty for someone that hates Audra. I actually can't wait for him to eat crow. And since Audra is now being used to drive a wedge between Kyle and Claire, I have to talk about...   SUMMER'S EXIT. Mmmm...mixed feelings. It don't seem half as bad as others appear to see it. Yes, if I didn't have the context, it still seem odd that her part in the Kyle/Claire drama was barely touched on. And she interacted with everyone I felt she should interact with. But in the overall context...I still didn't mind the exit. Though it was abrupt.    I did like hearing that Noah and Allie are still together. And don't get me started on the offscreen Mariah drama.

      I'm sure old Reva/Josh fans saw the writing on the wall--and this was their pattern. They (or usually Josh) was so angry that they'd spend months yelling at each other, and then "boom", they were macking up on each other, regardless of who else they were entangled with. (This is the couple who slept together under HB's roof while Reva was married to him, after all.) "Always". *gag me*

      I don't think we've seen the last of Erica Kane. That's something I will continue believing in.

      You are the best!!!! That is a remarkable talent, to not just summarize, but contextualize Draper's dilemma!  It is delightful to be able to think of that situation in a new way. - Thank you

          I was pondering Lee Godart's accent, because it was so dreamy.  It made me think he would've been perfectly cast as Victor Newman's brother on Y&R.  American's have a hard time distinguishing European accents.  And, good news, before I hit reply, I went and confirmed the actor is still alive.

      B&B: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By skiman12082004 · Posted

      There are so many missed opportunities and story beats that could be played out on B&B. Hope was finally able to successfully move on from Liam, with Thomas, and what does Brad Bell do, he ruins it. Hope & Thomas, baggage and all, were really good together. Why Thomas is off the canvas is mind boggling, yet we have a terrible and completely useless character in Daphne still there, please make it make sense. I think Rick is needed on the show too. Have him come back and hook up with Taylor again. That would create some really good drama and cause Ridge & Brooke's heads to explode.  And for God's sake just recast RJ and bring Jack to the show as an adult to rip Brooke a new one for basically ignoring him all these years. But yeah, just my opinion
