You're not the only one who has given up on ATWT. I've realized that the show just can't and won't get any better until Goutman and Passanante are gone. Since it looks like P&G doesn't give two shits about any of their existing soaps, that won't happen anytime soon. ATWT will never get better, at least I have my memouries of the show, you know, of when it was watchable.

Great decision!

Welcome to a real soap opera with a Head Writer who truly understands the genre and cares for it too. :)

I feel bad for the ATWT fans though. They're stuck with Goutman and Passanante. :(

I never thought I could give up ATWT and I didn't give it up for OLTL, but I had to give it up. I can't make time for a soap that is as bad as ATWT currently is. Stories are dull, characters featured are dull, it's such a bland, white canvas. Truly nothing worth watching. The Lily recast and treatment of Scott Bryce was the end for me. I'll be back for the final episode and I say that since I know Passanante wi ll remain on the show.

I feel so much better focusing on Y&R, B&B and OLTL which are deliverying. Even AMC is improving so much it's out done ATWT.

Again, sarcasm on:

"As a viewer who is a member of an online community, you are a teeny weeny tiny infintessimal part of the viewership...more trivial than anything...so, you're right, your absence will not be missed."

But, honestly, I want ATWT to be a top-rated soap. I think Nuke is the future (not that couple, specifically, though I like Van Hansis...but the willingness to embrace life in 2008 rather than 1958). I want ATWT to be rewarded for this movement to relevance....and for casting Van Hansis.

It is true, though, that ATWT is not currently strong.

ATWT lost me a while back. I haven't watched the show in months.

As for OLTL, I watch bits and pieces on Soapnet and I'm enjoying it. In fact, I find myself trying to tune in for it during those weekend marathons. Maybe THIS will be my new soap.

    • Are these new?! Damn, he is in the prime of his life. 
    • He is a 40 year old large grown man "raising his voice" and calling a teenage girl "careless".  That's inappropriate.  I am not going to argue at the octave of his voice although I would consider it yelling.  Felicity was visibly upset.  She also has special needs, but it would be wrong to do that to anyone in general.  Xander was out of line.  He didn't immediately apologize or admit he was wrong until Princess Sarah was okay.  Idk, go find your wife's epipen instead of berating a young girl.  Or, you know, Sarah could have asked if there was any pistachio in her scone as a pre-caution.  That's how most people with allergies that severe order things. I do think this story or plot point is silly, but acting like Xander did nothing wrong is just strange.  Even if Felicity DID do something wrong was he just going to continue to go on and on while his wife was going into shock?  That's the proper reaction lol.
    • I didn't get that so far so I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever pick back up.  I must have chosen bad episodes because what I saw had some really bad Irish accents from supporting/day players. They were hard to get through and I just didn't have the patience to deal with them. I don't think these accents would be allowed to go through today. I assume these accents were ironed out as the show went on--reminded me of Deas's terrible accent on GL that was dropped because it was so bad.

    • It's shoddy journalism. Pretty much says all you need to know about Parade as a source.  
    • It could still be possible.  Ashley could know who her dad is, but her mother stating that her father was a ruthless man so she opted to listen to her mom and kept her distance. It also could be a change in storyline direction since we're now approaching the period of episodes being filmed when the show debuted. The actress playing Ashley posted an IG two weeks ago with her saying she got to work with new characters and old time favorites.  So I do wonder if some new details will emerge between Episode 51 and whatever she was filming at the end of April.
    • He didn't scream. He accused her of being careless in a slightly raised voice. Then he immediately admitted he had overreacted.
    • I really don't like Joey. Please get that disaster off the screen. Leslie going off like that finally let everyone see exactly who she is. She said she has more surprises up her sleeve which reinforces my thoughts that she knows something about Martin.
