I remember being forced to watch AW as a kid since my grandmother and her sister always watched soaps on NBC. However, I don't remember Texas much( I was 5 when it aired). I'm so glad the clips are on youtube. Eliot is my favorite character. It did get a little stale when he and Paige went back/forth with their feelings and then Dennis going to the hospital. Finally when it seemed the smoke cleared it looked like Eliot(who was soooo in love with Paige) decided he could live w/o her. I love Daniel Davis and i wonder what he was like working with the cast/crew of this show. I know there have been good and bad stories about him as far as working with him and what he's like when not on the stage. I think he played Eliot like the Bard as he really went a bit overboard in pronouncing his words(classic training I guess). I wish we could see the episodes where he and Paige tapered off and he finally left Texas. Wonder how he felt about doing the love scenes with Lisby.

Here's something interesting I read once...Tom Wiggin was in the Columbia University drama department in the mid-70s. Another student in the drama department was Jami Fields, who had played the role of Penny Davis on The Doctors as a young teen. Her mother on TD was played by an actress who would later share much screen time with Tom Wiggin on ATWT - Liz Hubbard!! 😎😊

      GH: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By DRW50 · Posted

      It's tough for me because I feel like this has always been Lulu. She used to be even worse, slut-shaming, verbally abusing other women, and always being written as being in the right. They should let Brook Lynn get dirtier, but I think the material of Lulu digging and being self-righteous, making everything worse even while not intending to do so, but also not being as in the wrong as Dante thinks she is, all makes sense for her. But I don't have as much experience with Lulu as a lot of fans as I just could never stomach her beyond the time she was a mute kid, so I don't have much right to speak.

      I think the writing is slanted against Lulu.  I don't think there is an issue with the character in general.  I just think Lulu comes doesn't get many layers or nuance in her writing.  Lulu becomes obnoxious and a bully to Brook Lynn and both characters SHOULD have flaws.

      Amanda Setton and Rena Sofer was once again really good in today's episode.  As a Lucky/Liz fan, I didn't like their scenes either.  And they are nowhere near a proposal because they haven't been given a real story.

      I don't think Lulu is written that badly.  Lucky they do seem to have no real interest in. I wonder if this is another story they have decided to wrap up abruptly as it makes zero sense to have what would have clearly been serious conflict between Liz and Lucky just get shrugged off by her. Maybe the intense viewer negativity toward Kristina got through to them.

      This is what kills me about the complaints that the show is moving too slow. I don't think any of the other soaps has revealed as much as BTG has in the same time frame. Not only are stories moving but it's rotating as well. Y&R has been teasing that Dumas character since February with no reveal in sight. B&B was one day for the majority of May with very limited storylines. GH had a strong final week of May but the storylines had been dragging for months prior to that. I appreciate that BTG doesn't focus so much on recapping and keeps the stories moving. I have anticipation about certain ones like Martin and Anita's secrets but I'm not worried about it because the writers have proven they will keep these stories moving at a strong pace.
