I honestly don't see how the character of Paul hasn't been shot numerous times by now. If I were an Oakdale citizen, I would shudder everytime that creep came around. The character had soooo much potential, but ever since Roger took over the role, they have continuously murdered and repetitively tortured the character. I'm just shocked he still exists.

Exactly. Instead of just dealing with what he did already, TIIC try and create sympathy for Paul by someone stealing his baby. They didn't have to do any of that crap...they could have just let Paul fight for his visitation rights after his stay in the psych ward. TIIC have completely ruined the character trying to play to Howarth's "strengths" which seem to me to be tossing his golden/dark golden/nearly brunette locks and SCREAMING at everyone.

Well at least we know that the OakDumb "Time Travel Portal" has been overhauled and is still operational, and that it is still possible to find someone in NYC without knowing exactly where in the city they are. We even saw Nurse Joy run into an actual home looking for ''The baby" because she heard a baby and just knew it was her baby.

*eyeroll* Well, she just miraculously KNEW it was her baby crying. It wasn't like there aren't millions of newborns in NYC 'burbs or anything.

Ugh...featuring all of the twentyish actors on one day is....annoying. And on top of Bratie and Henry/V sex....it's a "D" story day all the way.

Yeah, I was a huge Iva fan back then. I know Iva was depressed all the time (with her life who wouldn't be) but I thought she was a wonderful, complex character. She always seemed very real. A few months ago I was watching some of the scenes from before I started watching ATWT, where Iva first came back to Oakdale and Emma raged at her for not being there when the family needed her. Just brilliant scenes, especially when Emma forgave her and Iva wailed, "Oh, Mama," and went into her mother's arms.

I never forgave Holden for taking Aaron from her (then dumping Aaron off on Emma, and finally on Julie, who wasn't exactly mother of the year).

At least Iva had a happy ending...I don't want to think about what would happen to her these days.

Sex romp after sex romp...how boring and dull. Gawd...I thought I would never say it but GL is better right now than ATWT. Who cares that Reg is dead. ATWT needs an overhaul and change in direction.

    • I knew you would be so excited seeing your girl Brookey as #1!!!! She also WINS as to Frequently Married!!!  
    • Yes, Stacy does this both for early DAYS & early GH. I have written some for her, for DAYS. But just one tiny point & that is that she only deals with DVDs. I realize that is not the point of your posting but it seemed the right thing to clarify. I know that you know that video tapes is past, not present.
    • Hahahha I think sleeping with almost all of your daughters's boyfriends and husbands and getting pregnant... definitely gives Brooke the right to top 1 place. Long live the whore of Beverly hills.

    • CurlyQGrl has DVDs of some episodes, that they can sell, but that doesn't matter. What is helpful: they describe the scenes on the tapes, so you can read that as recaps without ordering anything. Doesn't really give storylines, though, which is what you asked for.  Here's the links anyhow. full menu https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/menu.html GH page https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/menu.html GH 1960s https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/eps/gheps1960s.htm
    • I would argue that Another World never played "everything" for laughs. Even when there were comedic scenes in some storylines there were other storylines that were not intended as comedy.  You give 1988 as the end point, and Mary was on the canvas from August 1986 to February 1989, so she must have overlapped with the despised laughs you are referring to at least half of the time she was there. I honestly can't recall any real comedy that Mary would have been part of. I don't think she was lighthearted about choosing between two husbands, MJ's prostitution, Kathleen's death, or even her son Scott dating her daughter Cheryl.  I would have said that the amount of comedy depended on the head writer and there was more comedy under Richard Culliton and Gary Tomlin in 1984 than subsequent headwriters. I guess there was an outbreak of more comedy when Cecile kidnapped Cass from his wedding in 1986, but in general the Sin Stalker wasn't presented as funny, Mitch's return wasn't funny, John's arrival wasn't funny, Reginald wasn't funny. The tone was serious even if the plots verged on the ludicrous. And maybe that's what you mean -- but I would make a distinction between intentional comedy and storylines I can't take seriously for other reasons. 
    • I'm excited for us to get back to a full weeks worth of episodes and also us beginning to move into the episodes filmed once the show premiered. We're already starting to see changes in the lighting and the way certain characters are styled. Of course we know this week we have our first recast as well. After the big Eva reveal, I hope the show continues to move into a positive direction and that we see them starting to fix some of the things we've all had issues with.
    • It seems like they may have been going in one direction for Andre and then changed their mind. He had this player/bachelor thing going at first where he was messing with Dani, seemed to be feeling Eva, and then somehow smitten by bland Ashley of all people. I feel like Ashley was supposed to be the one that finally made him want to be with someone and settle. The way he talked her up in those earlier episodes was really confusing. The wonderful, amazing nurse Ashley and conveniently she's unattainable because she has a partner, but he can't stop thinking of her and takes these busted pics of her. It was a mess. However, it all seems to have been dropped. I honestly feel like Andre can go. That may be an unpopular opinion but I don't need his breathy final syllable to be content with BTG. It's always like "There's gotta be another wh-ahyy"
    • This is where McLaibey falls apart. It becomes clear that McTavish had not thought past Brent/Marion...so the energy drops and she starts throwing things at the wall (Blakes twins, Lonatrat.)   Fans HATED this funeral. Everyone is mad at everyone else, which is fine, the death of a beloved community figure would give people a reason to come together...(Quint and Nola could come together at least for  a bit to support each other, Nola and VAn could finally admit they kinda, sorta like each other) Its just an example of McTavish's mean writing.   I have a feeling they were going to make Dahlia Frank's kid but they chickened out. Making Tina a prostitute didn't help, they could have been lovers when they were young but felt society pressure to part. Marcus took over David's role (you can't have two young black men at that time...)   Get used to it...this will happen, the same storyline over and over until the end.
