Recommended Posts

Hmm...yeah went to a monthly thread for the month of March. The show sucks period! It's so bad the posting is non existent. Hell my personal life is more entertaining than ATWT right now and that's saying a lot! :lol:

So discuss the [!@#$%^&*] that is Jean Pissy's writing and Goutman's ass producing. :lol:

Okay...in an effort to discuss the show...here goes...

Would anyone opening the door to Henry with that look on his kisser, have ANY confidence he was really "on board" with Vienna being a surrogate for Katie and Brad?

And even as stupid as Luke is, can he NOT understand Noah's point that the cops should be handling the case?? Didn't he ever think that maybe Margo wouldn't appreciate the entire town knowing the cops were trying to smoke out the real dealer (if, in fact Casey's really still in jail to do just that---I'm completely blanking, even though it was probably on Friday.) Do they really have to make Luke THAT stupid? I actually feel sorry for Noah, it's like he's dealing with a five year old with absolutely NO impulse control.

HEY KELLY!! You must be really excited this week, huh? Nice to see someone can be.

Hey PJ! Yes I am, it's my bi-annual crumb I guess lol....which is usually followed by a slap in the face but at least I'm prepared.

So in an effort to be prepared, I watched today (please remember that I haven't watched in months so I'm way behind).

WTF is going on with Ali's hair?

Ali/Casey? Fail. I love Billy but Marnie's Ali is such a wet blanket (the writing does the character no favors - she's a Stewart for crying out loud).

Word, PJ on Henry's face. This has disaster written all over it as well. And I know Katie has always been a bit baby obsessed but she was really grating on me today.

I know how you feel...I got my monthly Carjack crumb two weeks ago, and it's been way, way downhill since.

I think Marnie got stuck in trying to differentiate herself. When she was blonde, we had a ton of blondes. Now that she's gone dark, it seems every new hire has dark hair.

TIIC just don't know what to write for Ali. She is a blue-balling wet blanket. She can't enjoy anything (which is really weird for an ex-porn star), and she's so freakin' earnest it makes my teeth ache. If Luke were straight, they'd be a perfectly annoying match for each other.

I'd like to like Casey/Ali...I really would. I've come to appreciate Billy Magnussen. But Ali is just so listless and dull, they're almost like a rewind of Gwen/Will. ICK.

You'd think that entire quad would be fun, wouldn't you?? I think it's time they blew them up...all Henry does is have sex with Vienna. (OMG, a couple of weeks ago, he plotted with Carly and Lily for one day, and it was such a relief!) Brad and Katie are booorrrrinnnng. And Vienna is really nothing more than a dayplayer anyway.

Now that I think about it...Brad didn't even look happy at the end. I'm really tired of everyone doing backflips to make Katie's dreams come true. <_<

A dream that STILL makes no sense to me. Her line today about "Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed of becoming a mother"... really? Like when you were on cruise ships, bitter at your lounge-act mother? Or when you broke into Lucinda's pool and went skinny-dipping with Chris? Or when you put rat poison in Molly's tuna fish sandwich at WOAK? Or when you lied to Holden about "Lily" being Rose? Or when you tracked down a diamond to prove to Simon you were the woman of his dreams? At one point has Katie Peretti EVER wanted a child?!

I'll tell you when. Never.

If they actually played that beat -- Katie saying she never thought she was the "mother" type, but since she met Brad, she sees something in her future she never could before, then fine. But that's not what I heard today. What I heard today was Katie dreaming about this since she was a little girl.

I call bullsh!t.

LOL...well the "little girl" part was enough to send you into a diabetic coma, and I don't think Katie's "dream" has always been to be a mother. (would she really risk anyone slobbering all over her Barbie collection??? LOL) But it wouldn't be Katie if she wasn't overdramatizing every. single. setback. either. What I can't wait for is her inevitable meltdown when she spouts off at some "negligent" mother of Oakdale---most likely Carly. Jus' 'cause I want Carly to slap the piss out of her.

Y'know who I really don't buy wanting to be a mommy?? VIENNA. Yep...the luxury obsessed former jet setter just can't function without bearing Henry's fruit. WHATEVER.

Well put Mike. ;) I just rolled my eyes when I heard all that crap coming out of Katie's mouth. Dear Gawd can Jean Pissy's writing get any worse??

I'm so busy right now but will be on later to post about the rest of the awful show today.....Nuke won't escape my wrath! :lol:

Don't get me started on NUke today...

And the other thing - ATWT had a total way out of the Katie problem too - that she never wanted to be a mother until she met Jack, and got to know Parker, Sage and JJ. And if anything came out of her and Jack, it's Katie's realization that she COULD be a mother.

The more I think about it, the more I can see the scenes in my head. And what a joy for the audience to come to the conclusion WITH Katie, IN THE MOMENT. No - instead we find out that everythign Katie's ever done in her life, has all been to have a baby. Right.

Haven't watched Monday's episode yet and not reading this thread because I don't want it spoiled. Not because I think it's going to be good or anything. As soon as I watch, I'll post my thoughts! Hopefully, I'll have at least one positive thing to say.

Oh, and Elizabeth Hubbard got an Emmy Pre-Nom! Can I get a HELLS YEAH!?!!!!!!!!!

I love Liz...but one has to wonder WTF she got a pre-nom for. Other than being the only vet with anything close to a story last year. Obviously, no one else (like Marie Wilson) wanted to venture into the Lead category now that Martha's gone.

Well, I'm betting Kelly's in heaven, with those scenes for Pem today. *winks*

Meg's showing herself to be the slutty little jealous type, isn't she??

ICK to the Craig as hero scenes. Ummn....probably would have bought his "heroism" a little more if he a) hadn't set Carly up for it and B) done some attack-style smacking on Carly himself.

I don't know what to make of nuLucy. Except she seems to come off younger and younger with each recast.

I am in heaven! ::twirls::

My Paul and Em are just so fun...I was literally laughing out loud at their scenes (and there was one point where Roger and Kelley totally started cracking up while Paul and Emily were making out lol....)

I don't even need them to be together, but more fun friendshippy (with snark) scenes like that please.

Oh and the "Wow, you're HOT!"....LMAO!

Meg just needs to DIE.

IA PJ, that Lucy seems younger to me with this recast.

    • @Toups Tyler Topits listed in alpha order with the breakdown writers 5/12 Monday episode. O'Connor still listed as both breakdown and script writer. Kreizman wrote today's script.
    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
