ATWT: Week of December 22, 2008

[All My Shadows]

Okay...what the [!@#$%^&*], today's episode?

Scene: Casey and Margo at home.

Scene: Noah and nuMaddie at Java.

Scene: nuMaddie, Casey, and Margo at home.

Scene: Margo and Luke at the PD.

I hate this show's warped sense of time! Hate it!

And I also hate all this radical recasting. How long before we get Gwen and Will recasts?

[Soapsuds]

Thanks AMS for starting the thread. I agree about the warp speed in today's eppy.

[All My Shadows]

De nada.

Actually, I was gonna start it this morning, but I changed my mind. The only reason why I had wanted to start it was because I saw realJade in a commercial for Dawn lol. I didn't watch yesterday, so I had no real show discussion.

And did Casey just say that he works as a janitor? Just like Will?!

[Soapsuds]

Yes, Casey got a job at the hospital as a janitor. He talked to Bob about it. And Bob said the only job he could get was that of a janitor.

Btw...Van Hansis acting as of late is grating on my nerves.

[ClassicsSoapFan]

I noticed the "warped speed" today myself and I have never liked it.

This week being holiday week instead of focusing on the recasts why couldn't they focus on the families?

I just as well should be knocking my head up against a wall!

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Van's acting since that horrendous Nuke explosion and pairing has grated my nerves. That whole "look at me, I'm acting" thing. UGH.

[Soapsuds]

Did Casey's hair get blonder? I dont like the new color on him.

I think the whole Nuke pairing and worship from his board has gone to his head. Thus, causing his acting to go downhill. He was such a better capable actor before his character came out of the closet.

[All My Shadows]

I gave up on ATWT having decent holidays a long time ago. Today's episode should have everyone getting ready for Christmas, but nope. It's business as usual with recasts galore. Twelve of the show's contract cast members are recasts.

[Soapsuds]

Way too many recasts. Goutman loves to do that.

[All My Shadows]

Pretty much. Van was one of the best young actors in daytime from his debut in December 2005 until Luke's coming out drama died down (right after the Raven Lake stuff). Nuke is the worst thing that has happened to his talent.

[Soapsuds]

Agreed!! Van's last best acting was when he proclaimed his love for Kevin at Raven Lake. Seriously, all the Nuke fans on his board care about is Luke getting fucked by Noah. [!@#$%^&*] with his acting abilities.

[DeeeDee]

Indeed.

What's the point?

[P.J.]

UGH....these last two days have been painful to watch. NuJade is awful, nuMaddie is awful, and no doubt nuLucy will be awful.

It's sad when you doubt they'll even bother to show Henry with nuMaddie. But then again...it might be the most merciful thing.

I have a hard time taking Luke or VH seriously anymore. TIIC write him as a bitchy queen, period. I hope he runs off and [!@#$%^&*] Brian....I really do. GAWD...Noah touches a girl, and he runs off like he caught them in bed or something. GMAFB.

[EastMA2]

Blasphemy! LOL! Don't you know that Van and Jake are the BEST thing to ever happen to soaps??? lol

I so agree with your assessment. I hate the way Van plays Luke and I especially dislike the non chemistry between Van and Jake. I'm all for a Brian and Luke pairing! Their scenes last week were so much better than anything Nuke has ever put out.

[DeeeDee]

HOMOPHOBE!*&$#(*&*#&(!&(@&(#&()!!!!!!!!!!!!
