Members juppiter Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 Just like AMC's 5 or so bland blonde teen characters, this will NOT bring in the youth demo. These characters/storylines are sorely lacking. I agree with TPTB that soaps NEED teen characters, always have and always will, but if they are bad characters and bad actors in uninteresting stories, teens aren't going to watch! Matt is the best actor of the set and he's not in these spoilers. WTF? If they seriously keep this nuCasey and NOT Matt I will be royally pissed.

Members Chris B Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 Why wouldn't they keep nuCasey? I think he's great! Personally I'd send Matt off for a few months, then bring him back with a buzzcut and call him Adam Munson. He looks like the Adam that returned for Hal's funeral and it would explain why Margo keeps confusing him with Adam. That way you avoid Matt's poor history and have a core character back.

Members juppiter Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 What is wrong with matt's poor history? And, lol, Adam Munson has a pretty poor history too. Anyway, Luke on GH raped someone and became one of the most popular daytime characters ever! People WANT to see an anti-hero. ATWT's insistence on making people either squeaky clean like Jack or completely evil psychos is one of the show's major problems IMO. NuCasey is ok, but I liked Zach Roerig's Casey a lot. You and I just see soaps very differently Chris B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members koos Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 It's not so much stealing the show away from the established cast as it is the new wave being completely and utterly boring (at the very least). The days of Courtney, Andy, Rosanna, Tess, and Hutch were magnificent. ATWT's last good run, in my opinion. The last time it truly felt soapy.

Members Ann_SS Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 QUOTE (Chris B @ Mar 26 2008, 03:07 AM) This is the worst younger set I've ever seen on ATWT. Ain't that the truth. None of them have interesting personalities and they can barely act. Blech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UKBoi Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 It's funny how, this time last year the younger set was one of ATWT's biggest strengths. Will, Gwen, Jade, Casey and Maddie were all interesting and well defined, and now we just get boring, one dimensional cliches (I'm even including Luke in this because he could be a LOT better written) with a boring, one dimensional plotline.

Members juppiter Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 I completely agree with this. Yes, I think the show should revolve around the Hugheses and Snyders. However, it gets a little TOO incestuous sometimes and I'm thrilled to have new blood. For example, Gwen was a hugely successful addition to the cast in 2005, and making her related to Carly was farfetched and didn't really accomplish anything since they never have scenes together anyway. I don't care what a character's last name is. As long as a character is interesting, I'm all for it. Take the Aaron/Lucy/Alison young set. Aaron was related to Holden, Lucy was related to Craig, Alison was related to Susan. The Stewart family is not nearly as important as the Hugheses or Snyders, and yet most viewers liked Alison the best out of the three because she was the most interesting. As long as the show doesn't become unrecognizable, I really don't mind seeing unrelated characters show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 The best of this bad group of youngsters are Aaron and Casey. It goes to show how bad things are that Agim who is mediocre at best is now one of the better younger actors. I don't just blame these actors though. The writing on ATWT is crap which makes the poor acting intolerable. Here are some more spoilers about the younger set from Van Hansis: http://www.afterelton.com/node/15119 Who are they bringing back from the past? Could this be Kevin? I'd cheer if Kevin returns, but it is probably some useless character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 I hope it is Kevin and he steals Luke away from Noah. Noah can have Ameera or be alone for all I care. But I doubt the writers will bring back Kevin. If Kevin returns he will probably be used to drink with Luke and nothing more...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 I must have missed the day Jade was a "well-defined" character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 More truth. Jade was another wasted character. Sacrificed on the alter of Gwen. Jade was Rose's daughter his impossible to believe that she was in love with Will who killed her mother. Jade should have been getting to know Lucinda while scheming to destroy Barbara who was instrumental in poisoning Will's mind against Rose.

Members Ann_SS Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 Sounds great, but realistically the odds can't be good that ATWT will introduce another gay or even closeted character into Luke's life. I still am holding out hope that Van was referring to Kevin. Who else could it be? Let's speculate: Maddie, Damian, who else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members winterguy125 Posted March 28, 2008 Members Share Posted March 28, 2008 Why is everyone believing these spoilers/rumors I know it sounds like JP, but really I don't see anything in the real spoilers that are even hinting at these. Plus wasn't this the poster that posted on the buzz board that said Luke was sleeping with Amerra? Or was that another one time poster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted March 28, 2008 Members Share Posted March 28, 2008 LOL....I don't know. I still remember fondly the huge rumor that Jade would reveal she set out to break up Willen to make Will miserable for killing her mother. It was more than that, but it was a beautiful, well thought out, history-laden story. (that's what should have tipped us off it was fake...)
