What has happened at ATWT - suddenly they have really great looking sets and not everyone is living out of Fairwinds Hotel :-) Although it is kind of strange that Lily and Holden's house is completely different now with no explanation.

WOW! for the first time in a long time its a Saturday and the ratings still haven't been released. I hope they're released by Sunday.

Actually I've noticed that too, they gave Parker a room and Lily's house looks new all of a sudden. What's going on here?

I believe that the new set for Lily is an entirely new "house". Although I am a casual ATWT viewer, I believe that Lily bought a new house since she and Holden are no longer living together - him spending most of his time at the Snyder Farm.

I know that some fans made note of the fact that Lily gets a new set as soon as long-time protrayer Martha Byrne leaves and is replaced by Noelle Beck.

Actually the ratings have been released - they are just not available to Toups yet due to her source. It was stated above that he would not get access to them until next week.

Also the other 2 people who sometimes get the ratings for us here have not gotten access to them either. The ratings were released on Thursday as always which is why the ABC press release has already been put out there.

This is supposed to be the family room and just a different entrance to Lily's house. She didn't buy a new house.

The sets were addressed in the last SID. What ATWT has done is made all the sets significantly smaller. For example they mentione the Lakeview lounge, lobby and restaurant and said all 3 sets now fit in the space just one would have occupied in the past. They no longer put them up and take them down and instead are left standing on the two stages they have. By making them so much smaller it allows them to have more sets but they save the expense of having to take them down and set them up so often.

Lucinda referred to the new room in Lily's house as the "den" on Tuesday's episode.

The shrinking sets are obvious if you watch older episodes. The police station has gotten so much smaller compared to just a few years ago. Parts of the set that were inside of the station (like the wall-of-fame) are now outside of the doors, and other parts of the set have just disappeared. It's not really that noticeable since they never show an extreme wide shot of any of the sets.

This deletion of parts of sets has been slowly happening for a few years now...

Is it just me or does Katie & Brad's new house seem huge for an ATWT set??

The one that seems huge to me is Fairwinds. Katie and Brad's home seems big sometimes and then not so big others. I've wondered if they have gotten better with new sets of giving the illusion of being bigger than it is. Lily's home seems bigger than some too. Or it could be just that the newer sets we haven't seen in a bigger form to compare them too :lol:

It looks like ATWT, OLTL, AMC all lost from last week and GH went up, I can't believe they're that close to 3 million viewers, it must be the Johnny stuff.

Is it me or does it seem like the casual fans of GH only watch it when there's a major storyline or stunt taking place on the show?

After seeing Night Shift this past week on SoapNet the HD quality has made it look so much better to watch and I'm hoping they replace AMC's film style camera with the HD one and maybe that will bring back some of the fans they lost prior to 2006.

    • So, on rewatch....did Rick and Mindy never have sex? 
    • Cady had a fairly posh accent or manner as Rosanna - the character was a 180 from Dixie when she went to ATWT, and it was a huge success initially. As someone mostly only familiar with the nagging, miserable or clueless Dixie of the mid-late '90s and early 2000s it was what convinced me Cady could act. I thought she was incredible in her first run. Later, in future stints, her hair and story and performances were all over the place but a lot of that was down to the show for me. She brought some of Rosanna back with her to Dixie in her ill-fated return and a lot of people didn't like it, which I understood but I did think the character needed some change. I think she's had a little bit of the same persona and arch performance in every role she's played since, including Jennifer Horton at DAYS or Kelly at Y&R, who later became a maniac and was easily the worst work I've ever seen Cady do. It has kind of infected her overall mannerisms, I'll allow that, but I do think she brought Dixie back together as herself while still evolving the character when she returned to AMC again in 2012-13. Nonetheless, for me the upshot is that this is a character where Cady's kookier recent performance style suits the role. But I can understand it grating for people.
    • Yeah, Loretta Swit's passing stings. My late dad LOVED the show (he died last November) and watched it religiously. In first run and repeats.  And I was literally born the day after the show's premiere, so I grew up with it! I know many loved later, softer Margaret, but I loved Early Hot Lips. In real life, I'm all for less misogyny, but to me, the early years of M*A*S*H were just funnier. May Loretta Swit rest in peace. Thanks for all the memories connected to my dad!

    • I agree that she isn't Dixie or Rosanna and shouldn't be acting like either. I just found it strange that she had a naive Southern character and a wealthy urbane character in the past and didn't experiment with accents before (unless I missed it, correct me if I'm wrong). She used to do improv characters on YouTube. She's probably doing something similar here.

    • And here I thought I'd never think about Lauren Tewes again after her brief appearance in Twin Peaks Season 3.
    • I may be the single person who does not mind Transatlantic Campy Pamela. I think it perfectly suits this sort of Absolutely Fabulous-esque supporting character she's playing much more than it did when Cady tried weird and often broad stuff at AMC* or Y&R, or later stints at ATWT. She's not Dixie and she's not trying to be. I will freely admit some of the other chances she took at other shows often came off stiff, hammy or downright mortifying (Kelly Andrews, come on down). (* - and I say that as one of the few who was somewhat into Cady trying to make Dixie more cosmopolitan in the Rosanna Cabot mold in mid-2000s AMC, just to liven the character up again)
    • There’s absolutely nothing exciting happening storyline wise but I’m always happy to see the vets on my screen so I’ll take what I can get. It’s also just nice to see them all dressed up in the same room, it always gives classic Y&R vibes. The best part? No Phyllis.

    • Well now we had Ashley's reaction-and weren't we all gasping when she appeared to hate it-but she was just joking!! She loved it. Now we have to see Abby's reaction, and maybe Mamie could come back to say she loves it. How about Jill via Zoom giving her opinion (she'll love it) and bring in a day player to play Mrs Martinez to say she loves it also... I feel bad to keep dumping on this show (not really) but when the choices they make are so inane, it's the only entertainment value the show has. Let's unpack the Nikki birthday story. So Claire wants to throw her Nana a birthday bash as away of endearing Kyle to Victor. Don't quite get the logic there,but OK. She hires a party planner who makes ridiculous suggestions. Slightly annoyed that Y&R are hiring someone for this role for 5 episodes when we never see doctors, co- workers etc. But OK to that to. With all the talk we are expecting something special. What we get is the Jazz Lounge hideously decorated with some ugly tablecloths and a few tacky decorations. They needed a planner for this? Then the guest list consists of family members (no grandchildren)and a few others. Hardly a party. As usual the costuming is pretty awful. A red and black theme ? And our guest of honor is sporting a do that looks like a cross between Cameron Diaz in Something about Mary and Marie from Roxette. They should have had an intimate dinner and ditched all the fanfare. Would have been way more believable.
