Members juniorz1 Posted April 9, 2009 Members Share Posted April 9, 2009 2000 was a great year for ATWT- the first time I really got into. Katie's comeuppance at the Endicott Awards is easily one of my favorite soap moments of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted April 10, 2009 Author Members Share Posted April 10, 2009 GENERAL HOSPITAL It all starts with the word,and loke chloe's precarious eyesight,GH suffered from blurred vision im 2000. Whispers of backstage discord were confirmed onscreen.There were some sonny days,but manty characters and storylines failed to live up to potential-especially for a show that triumphed with the Daytime Emmy for Outsatanding drama series,its fourth in five years. The show lost pivotal chracters Jason and Jax when Steve Burton and Ingo Rademacher chose to leave,but the addition of Chad Brannon(Zander)has proven fortuitous,as is Colton Scott finally convincing us that his Nikolas isn't the emperor-make that prince-with no clothes. also on the plus side;Taggart's family seems worth keeping an eye on,as does Laura's new career(and business partner) and the umpteenth revival of Luke vs the Cassidines.And-thankfully-after a wobbly start,GH seems to have gotten Lucky. HITS Storyline-Sonny and Carly Couple-Ned and Alexis Breakout Performance-Amber Tamblyn Most Shocking Twist-Scott represents Luke Newcomer-Chad Brannon MISS Couple-Emily and Juan Storyline-Lucky's return from the"dead" Wake Us When It's Over-Chloe's dreams Grin and Barrett-Brenda's return Laid An Egg-Monica's late in life pregnancy OTHER Sophie's Choice Award-Felicia having to confess her affair with Luke Show Me The Story-Roy Oh,Dad,Poor Dad,Mama's Hung Me IN The Closet and I'm Feeling So Sad-Stefan and Helena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted April 11, 2009 Author Members Share Posted April 11, 2009 One Life To Live Shaken,not stirred,best describes the action on OLTL in 2000 as cataclysmic events thre lives into dramatic disarray.1999's Most Improved Show lost steam as major storylines derailed-among them"Nora's death" and "teens on the run"-although the train wreck was a technical masterpiece. Romance was OLTL's strong suit,as Ben and Viki reunited and wed in a glorious ceremony,and Kevin and Kelly's secret love was exposed,giving Don Jeffcoat some of his best material to date.Sam was finally and unequivocally revealed to be Matthew's father,and Max revealed that Ben is Asa and Renee's son.(Too bad wandering Rae seemed lost for too long in her quest to find her child. There was passion aplenty too:Roseanne and Antonio gave in to their desires,and Jessica and Christian,as well as John and Rae,made love for the first time. HITS Storyline-Train Crash Couple-Ben and Viki Newcomer-Darlene Vogel Breakout Performance-Charissa Chamorro Most Shocking Twist-Ben is Asa's son Snip and Dip-Skye and Blair Triangle-Blair/Max/Skye Social Issue-Viki's breast cancer Sexiest Couple-Roseanne and Antonio Back Where He Belongs-Roger Howarth MISS Storyline-Nora's capture and amnesia Couple-Joey and Kelly Biggest waste of Talent-Patricia Elliott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kylie Posted April 11, 2009 Members Share Posted April 11, 2009 Oh, I don't have this issue. Does this have to do with their breakup? Or is this all there was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted April 11, 2009 Author Members Share Posted April 11, 2009 Here's what SOW had to say re Erica&David: Erica and David were the hottest couple in Pine Valley,and they could still be.David brought out Erica's hitherto-unseen insecurity,while Erica drove him wild with lust,rage and,yes,for the first time in his angry life,love. Our only hope is that ,after this Libidizone frenzy is over,they'll realize that the reason they feel light headed around each other has more to do with truly loving each other and less to do with being drugged.

Members Paul Raven Posted April 12, 2009 Author Members Share Posted April 12, 2009 BOLD & BEAUTIFUL B&B moved at breakneck speed this year,beginning with a gorgeous Italian remote that not only looked pretty,but moved major story. Other high points included:the back to back deaths of two beloved heroines(Becky and Macy),a shocking pregnancy(Morgan)that threatens to destroy Ridge and Taylor's marriage,and a bitter custody battle that gets more complex by the day. And Sean Kanan's Deacon Sharpe is one lof the nastiest soap villians to come down th pike in quite a while. Earlier this year Brad Bell vowed to speed things up and make things completely unpredictable.He's done so-to the pont where no character is safe and just about anything can-and does-happen.Who will he kill off next?

Members Kylie Posted April 12, 2009 Members Share Posted April 12, 2009 Oh, that's awesome. I think this might be the one issue I don't have. I actually remember the rumor that AMC had plans to reunite and marry David and Erica after the Bianca reveal, but Cady threw her weight around and we all know how that ended up.

Members leevo64 Posted April 13, 2009 Members Share Posted April 13, 2009 Monica was pregnant? I only vaguely remember anything relating to that. As for Emily and Juan, it was okay because a few months later we got ZEm! I LOVE Chad Brannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dan Posted April 13, 2009 Members Share Posted April 13, 2009 I'm interested in seeing GL. I wonder if they mention that really bizarre Reva storyline with the dead guy named Woody and the immigrant [!@#$%^&*]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AMCGio83 Posted April 14, 2009 Members Share Posted April 14, 2009 OMG Dogboy. That may have been the most offensive AMC story EVER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted April 14, 2009 Members Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yeah, as great as the coming out storyline was..... 1999-2001 overall was not a whole hell of alot better than Megan's disastrous 2nd run. I know some disagree, but I really really enjoyed Richard Culiton when he came in.... especially in the beginning. Things got off the rails big time towards the end.... but I thought he at least half cared about the vets and the history of the show. I really sometimes think if Frons had let him do what he wanted to... things could have been alot better. I guess part of me will always tresure Culiton because he was the last HW on AMC who gave a damn about Brooke and Julia Barr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
