ATWT: March Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

  • Members

GAWD Kelly, you must need a cigarette after this week. All that Pem time and everything. :D

After yesterday's Scooby episode, anything seemed better. I can live with eppy's like today's, even though I don't dig most of the characters. I thought Henry was friggin' PRICELESS today. And since I can smell Katie's latest "dream" dying...that put a BIG ol' smile on my face. Even the fact someone finally hit Paul with the truth and got him to listen instead of plowing into that room and attempting to drag Meg out by her hair, breaks the repetitive cycle (for a day at least) of that generally horrid story, and makes it seem FRESH.

And it doesn't hurt that by comparison, I felt really let down by the first day of the Four Musketeers reunion on GL. Stupid bastards...ruining the day with way too much of the Aussie brothers.

:lol: ME!!

I have the opposite reaction from the majority of the posters in this thread, I guess. The murder mystery has been the best story for me for awhile now, mainly because of the characters involved in it. I knew it would be Mark Vero the moment there was an "M" even though the characters were all dumb about it, but still, I liked the story to see the characters interacting.

I relate to the Jade/Casey one person liking the other more dynamic. I have also liked the involvement of family, with Tom/Margo mistrusting their son and Holden/Lily laying down the law to Luke. Mentioning Luke having a bit of Damian in him was also a nice setup.

Episodes with Casey, Jade, Luke, Noah, Allison, and Matt in them have breezed by for me because they are so fun and energetic. Everything else has been a chore lately. It's still the same old story with Paul, Meg, Dusty, Johnny, and Craig. Argh! Lucy has quickly started grating on me again too. The only saving relief in that story has been Emily.

Vienna, I am sure she will end up wanting to keep the baby. How predictable can you get, ATWT? How many baby stories can you do?

I really wish Kevin and Luke would be friends again. I'm glad Kevin did the right thing.

I am interested to see why Brian is back next week.

Even though I didn't like all the stories on today (OMG, if I could jettison Craig/Dusty/Lucy, they'd be gone in a nanosecond)....at least it had some nice balance.

It's really sad to see Carly continue to slide down to rock bottom.

I see they're continuing to rewrite Janet's history. Now she blames Brad for knocking her up, and he's taking the blame for not being around...HELLO...she didnt' TELL HIM she was pregnant. Whether or not he was a jerk, she made that decision. At least she's veering into bad momma/snarky bitch territory. I'm so sick of St. Janet I could scream.

LOL...poor Katie...ONE time Brad's denying her sex so he can have an army of "little guys" and she's already feeling "denied". GMAFB.

I wish this Parker story was a little more grounded. It seems kind of ridiculous Jack is taking such a hard line with Parker again, over a minor smoke-filled house incident.

How old is Parker now--15 going on 12?? And how does he manage to keep accessing his trustfund?? I realize that this is JokeDale Il, but GMAFB, he's a minor for goodness sake. I don't want anything really serious to happen to him, but, it's way pass time for him to get a little come-uppance. Looks like Johnny is going to be the one to drop the dime on him.

As far as JackAss and JumpMe are concerned, can TPTB hurry up and break these two up. I can just see them sitting in judgement of Carly when her next crisis takes place. Maybe Craig will be the wedge-- I think he and Janet have chemistry.

I FF'd the Parker/Liberty stuff. And the Brad/Katie stuff.

I really felt for Carly, it was clear she had serious reservations about sending Parker to Eastlake.

I did enjoy Craig calling out Dusty on the fact that had Dusty won custody, he would NEVER have let Craig see him, so Dusty's wanting to 'work things out' was totally bogus.

He's not acceessing his trust fund. I wish TIIC would let him swing back to the basically nice kid he was...all this 'tude is really grating. Even that 'ho LibbyLou said some nice things to her meathead daddy Brad. Ninety-nine percent of the time Parker acts like he can't stand either Jack or Carly.

JumpMe.... :P She must have really been upset at the thought of Libby getting sexed up....she couldn't be bothered teasing up to floozy hair today.

I know Craig's the villian of the show (or the older power-broker/dark prince) but I really get irritated when he plays the "you betrayed me" card. And EVERYONE lets him get away with it. It's ri-freakin-diculous that he chastised Lucy and called out Dusty. Dusty's acting the exact same way Craig did before the custody hearing. And Craig is forgetting a whole lot of machinations and betrayals he committed in the name of "protecting" Lucy.

Is there any point to Jade?? I know she deserved that slap, but I did laugh as Ali former porn queen/princess of the blue balls chastised her for bein' a big ol man chasin' whore. Ali chases them, she just stopped putting out.

Now that Em's given up on Casey...isn't it just a matter of time until she beds Ali's latest cast-off, Matt?

Maura looked beautiful in blue today. I just wish her story wasn't revolving around Craig. Then there's Parker, who's sure to make her feel like crap with his latest brainstorm.

^^^All props go to Dusty, he's the master magician of all things banner. :)

Where the freak is Susan in all of this? Y'know the storytelling is bad when your momma don't even show up when you almost die. (Well, the woman you call Mom, not your biological mother). Not to mention, it took me like five seconds to remember WTF Ali was doing in the hospital in the first place.

Wait---Ali was in the hospital!! I remember now, I left the room to go potty and when I returned it was over. Unfortunately Susan is working one of the 6 months straight shifts, hopefully she won't be joining John Dixon who hasn't been heard from since he went on his rounds. :lol::blink:

Speaking of Carly--- MW always looks great when she's expecting, although her hair is a tad bit long for my taste.

Paul: She's Dusty's ex.

Emily: Who isn't?

LMAO!

That, and Em and Paul talking about their failed schemes were some highlights.

Craig's line to Dusty about "It sucks to lose" was awesome as well.

I can't express how little I care about Parker and Liberty's tortured angsty love. Please.

I'm just not buying Lucy as the 'bad girl'. Maybe it's because she looks like she should be elected junior prom queen and not a doctor at Oakdale Memorial. Seriously, the actress isn't bad but isn't it time we give Lucy a bit of an older look if they want us to buy these stories?

I know I shouldn't have, and considering I hate Parker's back talk it's strange, but I FLOVED Liberty mouthing off to Janet today. I thinks it's just because I loathe Janet's hypocrisy so much.

I agree with Kelly---it's really hard buying the now deviousLucy, when the actress looks right out of high school (I'd argue she looks younger than Libby), with that china doll complexion.

I honestly don't mind Dusty/Meg...but can't TIIC think of some new schtick. Meg trying on that dress just reminded me of the time Craig#3 bought her a costume for his ball.

Boy, I felt bad for Carly today, stuck between Jack and Parker like that. Parker's a brat, Jack is so stuck on being right he can't see straight. And I floved it when he told Craig to back off before he tore him apart. At least someone's not perpetually kissing Craig's ass. ;)

That was the FIRST thing I thought of.

For REAL, we get it. Meg is beautiful and every man in Oakdale thinks so.

Can we move on now?

I felt bad for Carly today too. She really does love Parker so much, and this is tearing her up.

I was shocked to hear Janet bring up Hal.

Sigh...and yet, Carly has to practically beg men to pay attention to her. Any other woman (Katie, Lily, Ali) have men dogging after them like flies on poop...and Carly gets the most boring, old DREGS no one else would look twice at.

Yeah...as if Janet's got a list of Carly's ex-husbands on file or something. I would have bought ANYONE else bringing up Hal's name---Carly, Craig, even Lucy. But that (^%*%??? NO WAY.

    • I'm following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
