ATWT: Week of December 22, 2008


Recommended Posts

As if I needed more reason to loathe that doughy stooge. What I hate the most about this whole Nuke phenomenon is that all these random news outlets that are praising the show for Nuke don't know a god damn thing about a) As the World Turns and B) soaps in general. Nuke is overblown clap trap, thus making it crap!

I make it a point to visit Eileen's website at least once or twice a month because she regularly updates the front page with some information about what she's been up to lately and the such. She rarely mentions ATWT...at most, it's normally "I've been at the studio a lot lately, so I hope you get to see me soon" and the like, but in the latest update, she did two paragraphs about her frustrations with feeling like a "footstool" on the show and how she wishes the show and characters were more relateable. It's worth a read.

I can't wait until Lucinda finds out that grandbaby is trying to bone her man. My God, would it be wrong to want her to seriously go nuts on both their asses? Lord knows Maddie wasn't gonna do it!

And LOL about Deakins. She's several years before my time, and Rattray was still around when I was young, but I wasn't at the point of knowing who was who at that time, so I've been wondering for a while who that was lol.

Both of you stand behind me, I have no problems taking the pain for us all! If I never said it before, I'm saying it now. DOWN. WITH. NUKE!!! I'm in such a rage, a banner might come out of this!

Nuke is a textbook example of an insta-couple. But they're a gay insta-couple, so that trumps all. Ugh. It bugs!

Whenever I watch the Luke-Comes-out-to-Kevin drama on YouTube, it just pisses me off. That story was SO NOT over! It just wasn't! The foreshadowing was there, the viability was there, everything was there! They just dropped it, pushed Luke into the back, and then a few months later, voila, let's give Luke a boyfriend so that everyone will think we're hip, cool, and truly outrageous.

Your posts are always right on AMS.

I agree with your assessment of Nuke. Those who gush about it dont know the soap or care to know it. They just watch for Nuke.

I need to visit Eileen website. Do you have a link to it?

I doubt Lucinda will scratch out Luke's eyes out. I can hope so but I doubt it. She will take all her anger out at Brian.

Deakins was around my time of watching but I hardly remember her in the role. I remember Martha and Heather days as Lily.

I hope you make a banner soon, AMS.

Yup, Luke and Kevin had so much potential. The story was gaining steam and then it was dropped. The ratings for the show were much higher than with Nuke pairing. The writers really blew a good opportunity with Kevin and Luke.

LOL...or they are getting them from their crappy inturn contest...UGH!!

Thanks for the link AMS. What Snyders...??..oh yes...Jack and Meg. There was no Emma..etc..and where were the Hughes? I miss the Hughes Christmas'.

Blah....Jack's same [!@#$%^&*] jealous of Carly with another man. I am so sick of the same drivel with Jack now. The same [!@#$%^&*] Joanny storyline...so not original. I hate this story already again.

Well at least you tired. :D

Here is the number to reach ATWT or the email to complain about the show. I say use it to end Nuke. Tell them how boring they are as a couple and how they have lost all their fizzle. I thought of starting a new thread just for this but decided not to.

Call or email now and often!

I have and I do. I tell them to end Nuke and either bring back Kevin, or let the Luke and Brian story move forward. The Luke and Brian story is kind of odd because of the age difference, but Brian's late blooming and the talks he has had with Luke and the chemistry between Lau and Hansis is so much better than anything Nuke.

Well, let's be fair....Casey and Margo were on yesterday, and the Lily/Holden Snyders were on Mon and Tue.

That being said...it was a horrible Xmas Eve show. I loathed Janet the Obnoxious Holiday Elf and Craig was insufferable as usual.

Don't get me started on Jack. I love him...but he was an obnoxious jerk today. That he had a point about Craig was beside the point, he just went in guns blazing and didn't give Carly a moment to explain.

No wonder I love Carly. At least she tried having some holiday spirit.

    • Nope, it was not just you, I had the same issues. Most either disagreed with me, or just ignored my comments. But, I most definitely would have liked for them to take another route, even to add sheer variety in the storytelling. It is what it is, the story is a hit with the fans...
    • You may be a casual watcher, but you got SO much right.
    • I've been eagerly awaiting Kate's first episode under the new writers, and I wasn't disappointed. I started reminiscing about all of Kate's misdeeds when she said how good of a liar she was and how she saw right through Roman's lying. I really buy this matured, but still wise Kate in 2025, and the fact that you know under the right circumstances, the more ruthless side is always there, under the surface. Hopefully, with Roman about to confess, we get the full truth about just what the hell happened with Johnny the night EJ was shot, then all the major suspects will be eliminated, just for the writers to throw in that wrench that's waiting for it's time to shine. Everytime Brady thaws even a little bit towards Kristen I immediately get concerned. I was entertained by their fight, and it was smart to mention Kirsten having no friends, let alone positive female relationships except for Lani in regards to why Rachel is such a loser. As a viewer, do you think Stacy Haiduk as Kristen was at all thinking about her former friendships with Jennifer and Billie in that moment? I wonder if she's even aware that they were, or who Billie even is. Anyway, I do wish Kristen could have also thrown in Brady's face that he's literally the biggest slut in Salem. Rachel seeing and possibly hearing about him going from woman to woman would also negatively affect Rachel's negative ideals about women, and possibly her own self-hatred. I thought Doug's favourite class being English lit was a good through line from how impressed he was with grandpa Doug's poetry book to Julie. Hearing he dropped out because no one at home cared just made me yearn for more information about Charles LeClair as a father and person. Maybe it was this time that Robert LeClair was dying so Charles was distracted and it all fell apart after that? Alex with Kristen today is the most interesting I've seen him written. He was smarmy and cold and for a quick second looked like he was enjoying playing with Kristen clearly throwing herself at him, but when she dropped her facade he became merciful, but still unwilling to budge. He would have fit in well in the more complex 70s era as a cad with a heart underneath his bravado. However, and I can't stress this enough, I absolutely despise whenever he calls Philip, 'Phil.' It just itches my brain in all the wrong ways.
    • U.S. soaps don't use calendar years. Nor do they use their debut anniversary as season markers anymore, athough they may have done so at one time long long ago. Although GH first debuted in April, Y&R and B&B in March, and Days in November, their current seasons are considered to be starting each autumn. Edit insert to clarify: the soaps still each celebrate their debut anniversary date as an anniversary, but it's not the season end/start marker anymore. --- Soap seasons on the US broadcast networks and Peacock are currently considered to start in late August, in September, or in early October. (the autumn). Tamara Tunie said on her IG today that the current season of BTG ends at the end of August.  Then Season Two begins. https://www.instagram.com/p/DJkCcNQRxBR/ So basically, for any new soap starting from now on, Season One is a partial year that ends in the autumn, and then all following seasons go twelve months starting each autumn. Edit to add: You would think that Y&R and B&B would start their seasons on the exact same day each autumn, but due to lots of news events in the past few years, B&B has had more full preemptions than Y&R, which has thrown off their season start/end dates.  So as a result, Y&R and B&B sometimes debut their new seasons in different weeks each autumn.

    • This is what happens when you write for character over actor.
    • I assume Holly is Nicole's kid, right?  If so, the casting on the actress was spot on since she totally had some of Nicole's mannerisms/aura. Kristen is being shown as human again.. which we haven't seen from the character since Eileen's 1 year return back in the early 2010s. Kate is now running the Brady Pub?  
    • I think most people's knowledge of DNA tests comes from Maury. I dont think she nor most people would even think to consider genetic markers
    • Calendar year, at least going by when the Season Numbers have changed in the past several years on GH and on DAYS it's been calendar years. What their start dates are though haven't necessarily made inherent sense to me.  Hmm, interesting point. I'm used to being for underdogs, as well, but I am very invested in the Duprees.
