No, don't go. We need to keep these threads alive.

Okay, I disagree with you about a lot ...

I don't know how you liked Sam and Danny. They were the most pathetic characters I've ever seen on this show. Both were horrible self-righteous remorseless pieces of crap and they deserved to die.

I noticed when mentioning Fraser, you never brought up Grace. I'm going to take that to mean you, like everybody else that watches this show, including me, thinks she's dead weight. The actress brings nothing likable to the role. One of the most boring bitch type characters I've ever seen.

Mercedes was my queen first, so you're going to have to join the queue.

You don't like Cindy and Holly? That's just completely blasphemous. I don't even understand. This story is the best one on the show right now.

At least you also enjoy John Paul and Ste as well. Their characters should not have worked with each other at all, and it was obvious they would be paired when John Paul returned, but they surprisingly have a great chemistry that really works.

The abuse story has been one of the best, but the aftermath has been lame so far. And in case you didn't know, Patrick and the hot guy from Natalie Imbruglia's Torn music video are one and the same!

As for Tony being the sexiest man on the show, you're not even close. Darren/Ashley Taylor Dawson is the sexiest man in soap, worldwide!

I loved Sam and Danny when I started watching, and I started around dec/jan. However, by the John Paul kiss and prison story I was over Danny and by the Cameron reveal over Sam. Sam was a great character that quickly became not great. I don't miss them and I don't think they should have lived, but I was shocked that they both died. I loved that it was sudden and unexpected and that them and Leela were not on hood terms because that's joe life is sometimes. The fallout has been great.

Grace. I don't like or hate her. She's just there. This baby story is a bore.

Maybe it's because I have no history on the show at all but Cindy is annoying. I don't know who this ghost is nor do I care. I like holly and hate her at the same time. But I just hate Cindy.

The actors who play JP/Ste have a really good natural chem. I think they work better as friends but I am open to seeing where it goes.

I just got to Maxine and Patricks return. I'm really into this story since the wedding.

And tony is the sexiest. Then ziggy. Darren is cute tho. I love Darren and nancy.

I'd rank Tony near the very bottom in sexiness of all the men currently on the show (sans Tom or Jack for obvious reasons), but at least I won't have to fight you heifers for my Darren. One of the few characters I really stan for, against all odds. And going even further, Ashley Taylor Dawson is my number one hottest guy ever next to Matthew Wolfenden, Nick Youngquest, Mike Vogel and Tyrese as my top 5. Sorry for sounding like a fanboi there, but I get carried away sometimes.

She's a recast who is only around for a guest arc. She and Finn (played by different and extremely horrible actors) had a baby in 2010 when they were both 14. Amber (the mother) and her family (brother and mother, who used to be with Tony), were quickly written out along with Finn for being complete failures.

Today was such a great episode. I've never seen the scene where Darren can't hug/touch Nancy because she has yet to be examined in a rape story before, even if it was only attempted rape. Putting Phoebe in the episode was a good move, because even though it wasn't mentioned you could see it in her face that it brought the horrible memory of her own rape back. The scene where Nancy had to admit she had slept with someone that wasn't her husband the day before in case Rick's DNA showed up was very well written as well. And though Finn is a completely vile character, the actor is fantastic. If this show completely centered around Ashley Taylor Dawson's Darren and Jessica Fox's Nancy, I would still watch everyday. The two best actors on the show and the two most underrated actors in soap.

It is part of her back-story. Her horrible mother, Mel, is a prostitute which led her to run away and a get. Her rapist was shown on-screen very briefly as Doctor Browning's boss, where she saw Mercedes go into a car with him and was horrified. She's only told a few people ... Jacqui, Rhys (the man Cindy has been hallucinating), Lacey Kane, George and Robbie all know. I'm not sure who else, if anyone, does though.

Even so, I'll always miss the Darren that was shown in those photographs a couple episodes ago. Mesh tank tops and gold chains and cool shades. He was the effing best! You probably wouldn't believe me if I told you and him Cindy were one of the best couples this show ever had. I'll always hold out hope that one day they'll reunite.

I loved John Paul saying nancy was right. The way it built up - with him seemingly letting go & moving on with set to his finding out what happened to hearing Robbie was being accused to Nancy coming to him to Finn taunting him again to her accusing Finn and John Paul knowing he had to speak up. I loved the way he said it quietly at first.

Very solid episodes. Great acting. Loving the show.

      Another World Discussion Thread

      My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him.

      I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.

      Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much.

        Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year.

      Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
