I'm mixed--I liek the idea of a traditional xmas too but apparantly this ep is pretty impressive (i've truste dmy friend's critiques of the show in the past). Of course he works in makeup so maybe just the makeup's impressive

Haha..had to laugh at your last comment Eric.

I'm in the minority but I think this sounds interesting......

I think it sounds interesting too. Since there really aren't any happy families in Oakdale now, I like that they at least found a way to put that aside and at least show some happiness and actually a celebration of Christmas. I may feel differently when I see it but for now I am optimistic. I really don't care so much what the setting in as look as se see some happy family moments.

Does this kind of mean we're not getting new episodes on Dec. 24 and 25? Has anyone heard?

About the eppy...I don't know. I suppose the "dollhouse" reference doesn't have to mean a whole lot. But I just hate that special "theme" eppys seemed to have usurped any effort to have BIG episodes that involve the whole cast. Those stupid anniversary shows still burn my butt. Marland understood that anniversary should be "celebrated" with big DRAMA. These "stand alone" eppys marginalize the biggest asset the genre has....continuing drama.

I take that to mean Howarth will at least look like a capable actor in this episode. Do you think prosthetics are needed to achieve that?

More info on the Christmas episode.

For a special episode that airs on December 21, Oakdale is swept up into a Victorian-era fantasy inspired by a dollhouse in an Old Town shop window.

At the end of the show, the entire cast sings a carol.

Many of the characters take on different parts, such as Brad as a reverend and Katie as a maiden. Lucinda is a cook, with Margo, Tom & Bob as part of her staff.

Van Hansis (Luke) and Jake Silbermann (Noah) play former schoolmates who discuss their "friendship."

And my expectations sink through the floor. Lucinda's a friggin' COOK?

Brad as a reverend? *snort*

Katie as a maiden? GMAFB

Brad a reverend? is it wrong that i find that kinds hot...

Stand alone episodes can be fun if done right but I'm not so sure about this.

So how are Bonnie and Dallas going to fit into this early 1900s theme?

African-Americans in a Victorian-era dollhouse?

This, I have to see, lol.

GL pulled off this time era stuff quite well for their anniversary episode. No need to do it again tho, esp. for ATWT. I'm not even understanding why they need to do a special episode. ATWT needs to be taken seriously again, because after Cleo, JPiss has made it into a joke. Passanante tries to include humor into the show she's writing, but sometimes comes off as lame or over the top.

GL's eppy had a point. It was about the show's history. This fluff is pointless. Although at least it doesn't sound as insulting as the sitcom show.
