The show bites in one big way: dead romances.

-- Couples that are established, happy, and have been together for some time are on backburner (Kim and Bob, Margo and Tom, Holden and Lily - not that I care for the latter)

-- Couples that are happy and relatively recent are used as filler (Nuke, Brad and Katie)

-- Signature couples are turned shredded. I once loved Carly and Jack, now I wouldn't mind if she lit the guy on fire and kept walking. Jack treats Carly like a booty call even when they're not sleeping together. That he would expect her to embrace impending poverty, lose it all, rather than take a loan from Craig while he takes out a second mortgage on THEIR home where THEIR children live? Loser. Then he stops Carly from marrying Craig and tells others, when she's not around, that he doesn't care what happens to her.

-- Couples that should never be together are. Dusty and Meg, despite their long history. They've come a long way since her plan to use him and have Holden use Lily... now the way she uses him is more subtle, and not malicious. There's Parker and Liberty... stepsib/cousin kiddos bumping uglies, not hot! Josie and ??? ANYONE, soapgod forbid she end up with Paul, that'll be a new twist on daytime's fascination with pseudo incest.

Oh dear you wont give up. :lol:;)

Very true!!

)

I agree. If they dont want to use them as a couple then use them in their own story...example Kay on Y&R.

I couldn't have said it any better or clearer. Jack is an asshat. I also wouldn't mind Carly giving Jack the ax!!

Well I wouldnt mind Dusty and Meg as long as they were a couple for the right reasons. And not just a smoke screen to pimp Meg and Paul at the end.

Parker and Liberty are just wrong in so many ways. They are so puke worthy!!

Word. I yearn for the days of the Jenn/Gwen baby switch and the Carly/Iris Dumbrowski storyline. It was clear that JPiss knew exactly where she was going with those colliding stories, and though many didn't necessarily like the direction, there was direction. She hasn't written anything since that was as mapped out as those particular storylines. I remember I couldn't wait to watch ATWT every day- to me, it was superior to every soap on the air. Sad that we have the exact same team in place and everything is a muddled foolish mess.

NEVER! I will not stop until Mark & Mike are back lighting up my screen. Check out the MENRY chemistry in this clip.

Man...Trent is tall. He is like a redwood. :D

Damn, Mark is so hot! I can't believe the guy is still single at his age.

LOL at Henry peeking at Mike stripping naked. :lol: I don't think I saw that the first time it was shown. I was too busy looking at Mark. They do have chemistry. But ATWT will never go there. I wish Henry would have made the moves on Mike.

So is Victor Webster, who is uber-hot. You know what they say about single actors in their 30s...... :)

I caught it the first time around I think. Gotta love how badly Mike keeps losing. Anyhow, I really don't want the writers to go there anyway- I just love the blatant homoeroticism of their relationship. Sometimes less is more.

    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.

    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
    • Omg not we both ran into people from the show this weekend!
    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside. 
    • Yup.  You can hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years.  So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.
