I think it's a PGP thing. A year or two ago, people would constantly say that GL had an incredible cast but they were (still are) stuck in storylines that are crap. The talented cast of ATWT is suffering the same fate it seems.

IA about what Parker needs. He has potential, and I really like the kid playing him. I can so see Parker as a Henry-type guy. That Liberty chick sends me more Katie vibes than need-be.

Obviously. It's time for boring Noah to hit the fricken bricks and take his psycho daddy and Ameeeeeeeera(!!!) with him. The ultimate dream is for Luke to pick up where he left off with Kevin, but I'm more than willing to see a new suitor come to the canvas. Or better yet, make him someone who's related to one of the major families so that there isn't insta-villainry like with the Colonel. Let's just say that there's a long lost Hughes cousin...

I think they are just trying to do both, trying to keep some stuff in studio while also trying to make some other stuff seem more real then what they can do in the studio, like the horse back riding scenes with Holden and Carly, with the Barn and stuff, instead of us not seeing the Barn or the horses we finally see them.

I think it will be cool if they keep it like this and just use the location stuff when needed, and not an all the time thing. I think GL probably should have done the same and just a had a mix.

I totally love Bitchy Luke :D

Now if only he would get bitchy with Noah, and let him know what he is really thinking. <_<

I just got caught up. I will say, I thought the Oakdale outdoor shoots have been done well--the horseback riding and the school. I think the recent NYC stuff is good, in what I see as a FF everything. Because all I want is this Nuke storyline to be over and they head to the happy backburner till someone at ATWT could write a different story for them. It just seems to be the same bad story.

I like Liberty and Parker, it's fun. I also like the Kate and Liberty relationship that is starting--it's a nice balance to Janet.

And I actually felt for Allison the last couple of days, and that's a first.

I would love this but we know this isnt going to happen.

Read above statement. Or read Mark H. quote on my siggy...he is totally right about Nuke.

and in that lies the problem with this pairing. Not to get into the great Nuke debate, but it was a forced pairing to start off, and the fact that every storyline seems to be an off shoot of some gay stereotype doesn't help the cause at all.

Ok someone said Janet and Jack--that could be cool. I do want to see Kate and Brad stay together in all of this, but who knows if that will actually happen.

Well Nuke has been ruined in some many ways. I really do think ATWT has lost all those viewers who tuned in just for them. Only the hardcore fans of them are still around. Those who sampled ATWT for them are long gone. And who is to blame for that? GOUTMAN!!! <_<

ATWT had a good thing going with the Nuke buzz but they blew it. ATWT had a good thing with Kevin and Luke and they blew it. Hell the ratings were higher during the Luke/Kevin almost pairing than Nuke.

I dont think kevin & Luke were intersting at all to be honest. Nuke was far more intersting and a much better story - but the ended the story to soon. This should have played out for months. Noah dating maddy but falling for a guy. Luke falling for his ebstfriends boyfriend. maddy unsure for a bit then starting to wonder. Have Nuke have an affair and maddy find out.

Then whe nNuke did couple up they shoukd have had to face maddy every day. Instead theyw ere insta couple and maddy was rushed off the show.

I disagree. I think the Kevin and Luke story was better told. There was so much more to tell and they dropped it for Noah. Noah is dull as hell. Yes, they are cute together but thats all you have. They have zero story. And thats sad.

      -- Kai spends more time in the hospital than anyone I know. I've never seen a patient held back from being discharged like this guy. -- All this concern over Lulu's adoption story is wild. Just what in the hell in that story will upset people? Am I missing something?

      While I'm waiting for the new episode to start...let's talk about yesterday's episode.   I honestly really loved it. THIS is what I mean when I talk about how there should be an A story that is dealing with its fallout while the next A story is being built. And then there was even a C plot going on.    The fallout from the Silk Press Sheila/Eva reveal continued. And there were so many elements in play. Beats were being played. And I loved every moment of it. Ted/Eva defiantly going to the country club and being more successful at it than Bill&Hayley. I love that Ted is willing to fight for his marriage. I really want to see where it goes. I didn't like the town gossip, cuz we already have one in Nosy Nurse, but she did keep the tension up. The Nicole/Dani dynamic as sisters being in play...and I'll be in the minority and say that while Dani was Dani, I didn't find her being self-absorbed at all in those scenes. She has already been established as being willing to go there. For herself. AND her sister. So her going in on Ted and Eva was like her. Her dragging her sister out of the house was also like her. No problems. And I can't say how much I loved Jan getting her moment with Silk Press Sheila. Not to mention how much I LOOOOOOVE the showdown between SilkPress and Eva at Orpheny Gene in front of everybody!!!! Giving old school soap. And SilkPress's warning she got more up her sleeve (with a snap) was delicious. And awww at Martin comforting Eva. Kat ain't going to like that.   Speaking of Martin...IT'S HAPPPPENIIIIINGGGGGG!!! Now we are getting words from the night in question. So good to see them FINALLY building out that OTHER A story they started. And good on Martin for backing out from the presidency. I already said I love that the writers found a plausible reason for him to back out. The plot point served its purpose...to get a sense of Martin's personality. Now that he's been built up so we know what to expect from him, no need for it. Moreso since SilkPress's presence will continue to trigger that secret right out of him. Fingers crossed.   And while all that goodness was going on...we got a B plot in the form of Doug/Joey/Vanessa. I like it. It's been allowed to grow. All POVs have been seen except for Joey's really. So seeing him put Doug on the hook officially (so this should be climaxing by end of May then since Doug has one week?) because he wants Doug to move money through Vanessa's business. I continue to wonder where it will go now that I know (and apparently missed it) what Joey's endgame is. I mean...will Doug do it? Will Joey get payback on Vanessa? Or will Vanessa fall into Joey's bed? I feel the show has done a good job developing Doug and Vanessa enough that I am invested in the story. Sidenote...ask and I shall receive aka Dani/Vanessa brief moment at the country club. I really miss them together.    As for the C plot...well...I'm in the minority as well. I actually liked the Ashley/Derek scenes. Not cuz the typical soap himbo scenes...lol...but it was just a nice counterpoint from the other stories going on. And it was just nice to have an episode with A, B, and C stories going on and NOT be jarring and ALSO no quick cuts to another scene. It FLOWED. I actually like Ashley and while her last appearances in solo Derek scenes were DOA, I felt there was more going on. At least this time. It was building on what was already growing...Ashley's annoyance at Derek moving in. Derek...being a typical guy. I am hoping that will go somewhere. And I love that we got another Jan/Ashley scene. At the moment, it's the only thing giving us a clue to Ashley's inner life. That said...I really do want to see her out of her story bubble. There's so much potential with her and her career as a nurse. Moreso given what's going on there.    As for the mysterious stranger...well...I wonder how they are going to play it. Since most of us (but not all so not discussing it farther) know a bit about him.    As for the coda...it is bittersweet now knowing it was Maurice's last scenes. I mean...what do you all think? A nice point for him to stop? We got to see Eva accepting by the father she always wanted to be with since Day 1. Nicole looks on. Quite soapy.

      I love the thought of Eva becoming this huge celebrity hairstylist, and the future character crossover that can happen with fun cameos, too.

      I assume the target audience is as distracted as I am by the plot hole that University Hospital does not own a means of production for Versavix, and that's where the profits are found. Researchers at publicly funded universities can profit from successful drug discoveries, but it is often a small percentage compared to the profits of the pharmaceutical company.  Thus, it makes no sense why both Xander and EJ would try to buy the hospital (and its right to the invention).  As opposed to buying a pharmaceutical company, which would make exponentially more profit from Versavix, as well as the many patents that they now own on Dr. Rolf's research!   And, that if Xander benefitted from his wife's knowledge about a drug being researched at her hospital, and one day later he made a bid for said hospital, that's called fraud as it is akin to insider trading. For example, if my husband was a real estate agent, and he told me to buy this undervalued property because he knew there was a $1,000,000 diamond buried under the toilet.  That would be fraud, because his duty would be to get the best price for his client.  But, if he would directly profit, because as my husband he would get half of the profits from the diamond, that's fraud.  And that's what Sarah did. She waited until the hospital was worth nothing to tell her husband to buy now for cheap, because it will be worth a fortune in future because of the drug. Thus, she profits from the University's misfortune.  And once again, Sarah is the true evil mastermind of Salem.

      Some other thoughts on today's show. I don't care for Bill/Hayley as a couple. I think that Bill is sexy and looked good on today's show. But I don't think that him and Hayley really have any chemistry. They seem mostly isolated on the show unless someone like Dani is sparring with one of them. I do wonder what is going on with Bill's hand and why it is trembling. He is trying to keep that from Hayley. I also don't care for June right now. I like Jacob/Naomi but would rather see them do something else than what they are currently doing with June right now.  I liked Nicole/Dani continuing to support one another after the fallout from their marriages. I think it's interesting that Nicole asked Dani if something was going on between her and Andre and Dani lied about it. I do wonder if Dani/Andre are starting to have stronger feelings for each other (maybe even falling for each other a little bit). It does seem like stronger feelings are developing between them and I wonder where that may lead for their storyline. And I enjoyed Anita/Vernon as well. I like that he supports her and wants her to do the reunion with the Articulettes. It does seem like at one of them really doesn't want much to do with her after she reached out on today's show. But maybe they will reunite and there will be drama between her and her bandmates. I am interested in seeing who the show may cast as her bandmates. I hope they get a couple of good actresses in the role.

      Angela Bassett was also on somewhere in 1985 wasn't she. The NY soaps did so much for struggling actors. That's one of the reasons I will never stop hoping we get more of them.
