Oh no...watch out!! :lol:

Exactly and that's how his scenes today felt like.

Yup!

He turned bitchy drama queen ever since Noah came into the picture. He was never like that with Kevin.

He is definetly not a powerhouse actor.

You know, with that facial expression, he kind of resembles Chad Lowe. I don't mind him at all.... like I said before, twinkie drama queens are everywhere, soemtimes he DOES remind me of QAF's Justin, "I'll go to New York!!! And sell my body to gross old homos!!! I'm going to throw up!" I do think he's cute, though. What kind of guys is he into? Someone said he had a BF? What's he like?

Oh, that's completely legitimate. :D To me it kind of does, but I might be wrong. People loved him, then there was a whisper here and there how he isn't all that, nobody really payed attention to those comments, and voilà — here we are today. :D

LOL, I get what you're saying. I can't speak for everyone, but for me, I still stand by my praise for Van back in '06. I thought the story, the character, and him were great from about February up until June/July, when the Damian stuff kinda took over. The character of Luke, and Van's acting, was just different when it came time for Noah to show up, and I haven't heaped too much praise on him since then. Granted, I was excited for Luke/Noah for the first month or two, but like most everything else on this show, there was potential for a good, drawn-out story, and yet that potential was squandered for the sake of a quick fix. Sigh...such is the way of ATWT.

Noah and Luke are the first significant gay couple in daytime, and so I get that, and I get that everyone wants to support them, but at the same time...how is supporting shitty storylines really supporting them as a couple? If I had the pull that some fans have, I would have called shenanigans on Luke "falling for" Noah after only like...four or five OakdaleDays of knowing him. That kiss ban? I wouldn't have rallied to have them kiss, I would have said "[!@#$%^&*] you, ATWT" and took my viewership elsewhere, which I did because nothing on the show was interesting me at the time anyway.

And I'm getting long-winded again, as I tend to do when I'm discussing this, but oh well. I just think...ugh. If you're going to raise a big stink about something like a fricken kiss, where is the outrage over the generally [!@#$%^&*]-EATING storylines on this show? Why can't you go on CNN and tell them that soaps are a mere shell of what they used to be? Soaps, and in particular, soap fans, finally had a chance to be HEARD on various news/entertainment programs, and what did they decide to devote that opportunity to? A KISS!? It just bugs the crap out of me. Now ATWT is thinking "We're doing an A+ job with Luke and Noah now that they're kissing often! The fans ought not have ANY problems with Luke and Noah and their storylines now! All they wanted was a few kisses!"

NO!!!! NO!!!!!

Great post. Those who do support them could care less about the s h i t t y stories they are given. Why aren't they complaining? When Nuke is on the show is excellent. When almost anyone else on the show is on the show sucks. I've seen posts after posts with that kind of message.

I wish instead of Nuke we would get vets in place of them in a story. Seriously, Nuke's stories dissolve into nothing. They have no substance to them. They are giving them a story just for the hell of it.

    • 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!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
    • Sally Spencer was a decent actress, but the writing destroyed the "M.J." that Kathleen Layman had built. Layman had a quiet strength about her, and she and Osburn really felt like sisters. Spencer's character should have been either an unmentioned sister, or maybe Jake's that grew up close to Kathleen, M.J. and the rest, but was away for a few years before joining the force. Kristen Marie was o.k., but I always got a mousier vibe from her. Being pigeon-holed with Scott for most of the run hurt things for her, as well.  The Loves were also underserved between Rhonda Lewin and Philece Sampler. Philece would have been better as Nicole. Thank goodness Anne Heche  showed up for the next round of auditions. Christopher Holder was mediocre as Peter, but given a shot, I think Marcus Smythe could have stuck around for a while.  I would have had Peggy Lazarus be a Frame -- possibly an ex-wife for Vince with an agenda. Smythe and Hollen had  a fun chemistry that could have kept the two around.. Bringing recasts for  Cheryl and Ben back mixing it up with other Frames. Corys, Lawrences at the time might have kept all the families stronger. 
    • shoot...he said in that Locher room with Krista. I think he met her before that---she was doing Broadway and they had mutual friends or an agent maybe?
