Reading that made me feel so bad for Terri. Its got to be hard to work each day and know that your work won't be appreciated since no one believes in your character or even gives them a chance.

Thats basically the problem when it comes to Jatie. Most fans of ATWT are probably CarJack fans so they've already assumed that they will get together and that Jatie is some random adventure that Jack is on...lol. It won't last long so theres no point in giving it a chance or taking it seriously (not like death serious but serious in the sense that maybe Jack really does love Katie or at least cares about her).

I really hope Terri doesn't quit the show. I may have hated Katie last year but it wasn't because of the actress. It was just the actions she committed.

I think Katie and Brad would be good together. Although shes already been caught up in the Trail of Romantic Deaths that is CarJack perhaps she can still be salvaged.

I hope Terri realizes that there are CarJack fans that actually adore her. I was a diehard Matie fan (and no, I'm not one that goes writing nasty hate emails, or fan letters when I don't see my couple together) as well as a die-hard CarJack fan. I even stated sometime that it was time to break CarJack up.

For me, I'm not at all hating Terri; i just don't like the writing at all for Katie and Jack when they are together...sometimes it just seems forced. It was the exact SAME feeling I had when the writers were writing for us to be convinced that Lily and Keith would be a great couple....Some things gel, and some things just doesn't. It doesn't mean that I hate the actor/actresses because I do know how to tell the difference between character and actor/actress.

Fanbases at times just make me cringe; especially on some message boards. I know on one board I used to post at, I dare not post anything in terms of Matie unless I wanted to feel the serious bite of Skatie or Menn fans....Same went for those who wanted Justy (Jenn/Dusty), Musty (Meg/Dusty) or Lusty (Lucy/Dusty)...I agree that there are some fan bases that are downright nasty.

I think TC came off badly in the interview, but I'm going to cut her some slack b/c it was conducted (and presumedly edited) by Carolyn Hinsey. Ms. Hinsey is definitely a Carly hater. Her Opinion column in SOD has been leaning heavily towards the Kack love and the Carly bashing.

I hope TC and her publicist have a little chat and she learns a little diplomacy. She really is in one of the most unenviable positions in soaps--the third point of a triangle involving a true SuperCouple.

Wow...I can't believe people can side with an actress that sounds so arrogant and bitchy. Teri alienated some of her own fans when Paul Leyden returned, and now she's gone out of her way (along with Handmaiden Hinsey's help) to bash another group. (and let's not kid ourselves, she's painting ANYONE who doesn't like the Jack/Katie story with the same brush...). Teri said herself she was unhappy with the writing for Katie earlier this year. I don't see where the "writing" for Katie has improved, other than the entire town praising her for "being mature". She even said "she's getting Katie's spunk back..." I guess she doesn't recognize this "Katie" either.

And PS...Sarah Brown did NOT quit because of anything any fans did (or didn't do...) SHE had a SIX MONTH contract. She happily left NY to try and get some primetime gigs.

The same goes for Kin Shriner fans...Some assumed that Martha Byrne (Lily) fans wrote negative mail and THAT was the cause of Kin's character being written out....Not the case at all for that either....Kin Shriner even said in an interview that there was nothing else left for his character.

Not all fan bases are the cause for folks leaving shows...some actually leave when contracts are up; some also leave at the writing of the script based on what the POWERS THAT BE want; not what fans want.

Oh, I friggin' loved Kin Shriner. But the character hit the skids after Julia's death. Then TIIC hooked him into black market organ transplants. Kiss. Of. Death. The show could have used him opposite some of the older females, like Lucinda or Babs...but alas.

I'm continually amazed on how "powerful" the Carjack fans are supposed to be. They're blamed for everything from global warming to the rise in gas prices. Yet, nothing ever seems to go their way. Teri sure wasn't bitching when Skatie took off and kept her front burner for three years.

    • I actually thought he came off as younger. It's so hard to buy Martin as Nicole and Ted's son unless they had him when they were 12.
    • @chrisml Isn't remarkable that, on a soap whose brand is built on twists and mysteries, that Raven's last straw was as simple as Logan saying that she was incapable of loving Jamey.  In the episode when Raven exit's and leaves Jamey with April, I can remember feeling the subtext that Raven is also trying to talk herself into leaving him behind.  There's so much in that little scene.  She's trying to stick it to Logan for saying she was a bad mother.  She's both granting April's wish, and damning her with the old adage of being careful what she wished for.  And, she's hinting to Draper that she's going to boff his father. It remains my favorite scene, and it still blows my mind that was not the end of that episode.  
    • Oh lord not Drew just figured out it was both Nina and Portia that set him up. Willow WILL never leave this man.
    • And in addition to Patti being de-aged, she was no longer a nurse, divorced from Len(fair enough) and her two children were not seen and barely mentioned. So basically she was a totally new character. For newer viewers it didn't matter but any loyal viewers would have been wondering about all the changes with Patti. Sarah Whiting always puzzled me. The writers finally decide to acknowledge Jo's family and do so by making up a never mentioned adopted teen. Why not just bring in Tracey, Jo's actual grandaughter? As for Liza, perhaps it would have been wise to rest the character when Sherry left. They were big shoes to fill and her Liza was so identified with Travis. I don't recall what was going on in the story at that time but if they knew Sherry was leaving, write it so Liza would leave town to care for an ailing Janet and take a breather with the character for a few months.
    • Ahh interesting. Yeah, that's sad for A-M. I will say, he and Nick became fast friends when Susan started working at Spaulding. A-M/Lucy/Nick/Susan had a lot of double dates in those 7 months. A-M was Nick's best man at his wedding to Susan, which now that I think about it, is odd that he wouldn't have considered Fletcher. I remember those two were so close at the paper, and even living together with Ben. Once Tangie left SF, Nick left the paper, and Fletcher/Holly were rarely seen... so I guess they felt that friendship wasn't shown often enough anymore (which again, lazy writing).
    • I honestly don't think Alan-Michael ever really had a friend on the show. Maybe Cameron or Samantha, but otherwise... *Cameron was a high school friend who ended up dating teenage Dinah after she broke up with A-M. Samantha is Phillip's biological sister, who A-M treated like a sister. Interestingly enough, they were born the same week on the show in 1981, but A-M ends up being older than her when she returns to town in '89.
    • I thought he was very cute too, and a likeable presence even though on paper Cliff was a prick. I wonder if he was well-liked by viewers or someone at the show as there's a point in these episodes where he could have been written out and was not.
    • I'm not a Derek fan at all (and not even all that much of an Ashley fan, but man has she become awful in their relationship--like she's not even trying.  But also I admit, I don't think I'd ever live with someone, even someone I was married to (I know they're not married) in a bachelor apartment unless I had to.  Even just a one bedroom would make a big difference.  I'd probably end up hiding in the bathroom a lot

    • Going back to this, I'm even more confused why Amanda would say that only a year later (lazy writers), because I'm watching April 29, 1996 right now and literally all of the current on-air Spauldings (Alan, Alex, Amanda, A-M) and Coopers (Buzz, Lucy, Frank, Eleni) are on a plane together for Lucy/A-M's wedding. Along with Reva (which right now makes sense because she's married to Buzz), Dahlia (so out of place, but by default because they can't let a high school kid they just took in stay home alone), and a very random Rick (he's barely had any interaction with any of these characters all year haha).  It's like a madhouse on that plane, which is pretty comical because most of them don't get along... but they very much know each other. Still miffed that Bridget is totally forgotten here. And David. And Nick/Susan! Couldn't they have waited to fire them until after this wedding?  It was only like 2 months later. They had to make Alan be A-M's best man (which is wild to me) bc A-M doesn't even have any real friends on the show right now. 
    • You're right and I do imagine many longtime viewers were put off. I suppose the show felt many of the longtime fans were gone, so in that sense I get it if the show had continued. They should have taken greater care with the generation below Patti. It's hard to remember she was meant to be mother to Sarah. I wonder if that is one of the reasons they killed Sarah before Patti arrived. Or were those different teams?
