Seeing as how we were talking about the May 1st episode in an April thread... here we go. And considering the fact that the last two episodes have been shockingly good... here's to a new month of World Turns! :D

I carried this over from the April thread, just 'cause....it's technically May, y'know. :D

I enjoyed laughing at them. I know I'm usually the curmugdeoniest curmugdeon you ever met, but some days, you just gotta throw you hands up and roll with it, no matter how stupid and silly it seems. I'd probably snark at someone who defended either of those twits. I just can't rail every day at Pissy's ham-fisted plot to revitalize, revamp and redeem Craig.

Plus, I think I was really relieved the Carly/Jack scenes weren't complete bitchfests.

OR...I might just be losing have lost my friggin' mind.

Haha..sounds like a good explanation.

So what is Damian hiding? Interesting previews at the end with Lucinda and Holden. It looks like the horrible baby story is almost over. Thank Gawd..so sick of Katie and her stories.

^^^^maybe his family fortune stems from his Drag Queen revue. :D I don't know...and honestly, I doubt it's anything that big. Or maybe I just don't care enough to think about it.

And I'm rubbing my hands and salivating at Katie's impending heartbreak. :lol:

I don't think Damian is hiding anything. I think what we see in the preview is just Holden and Lucinda trying to break in somewhere to do some "investigating" and Damian showing up with security in exasperation.

:lol: Damian: See Luke I came to your side. I am a Drag Queen now. That's my big secret son.

Luke: I guess I am my father's son.

Noah: What's a Drag Queen Luke?

Me too! I can't wait!! :lol:

Personally, I hate Katie because she's a twit. Always has been, always will be. I've hated her since the minute she bopped her skinny bitch ass into Oakdale, through her obsession with Holden, the Skatie craze, the Matie sexfest, how she ripped out Henry's heart, how she took over Carly's life with Jack, and now when she's sucked all the life and encrusted every flat surface of her and Brad's house with DNA trying for the baby she's "always" wanted.

I hate Katie. Where others see comedy, I see an endless sucking vaccuum of mediocrity and cheesy dialogue. I don't hate Katie as much now as I did....but I end up rolling my eyes through every one of her "mature" stories. The more TIIC try and convince me she's mature, sympathetic and heroic, the more I contend she's completely and utterly useless in the landscape of Oakdale.

I just saw Friday's show. It was blah...now that Block nor Bryce is on the show. We have interactions between Craig and Katie. They have zero connection to me as brother and sister. So there scenes fell flat for me. I know Bryce had some scenes but very few. And Block was nonexistent in Katie's world.

I ff'd most of the show.

I'm a Katie lover, but I understand why others aren't. I mean she's only how old, and she's got FIVE MARRIAGES under her belt? Part of her problem is that her first marriage was her best. Katie and Simon had undeniable chemistry, and everything that came afterward seems like an afterthought. You just know , if Simon came back, Katie would leave airhead Brad in a second.

Katie would be better recieved if she were written better. Of course we could say that about most of the characters on ATWT.

How about a visit from Mama Peretti? Lyla telling Katie to straighten up her life. Katie telling Mom that all the traveling around and not having a dad made her they way she is. Have Katie blame Margo(who took him off life support) for her misery. Bring an all out war with the Montgomerys. Of course we would have to include Craig. Maybe then we could feel some love/sympathy for Katie. But when she just hops from man to man, wanting babies and destroying marriages and not giving a damn. Well why should I care about the twit...LOL.

Well, that's not entirely true. Katie and Craig were living together for awhile at the Lakview, when Block was playing him. He's the one who stepped in and saved her after the Endicotts, he's the one who threw the "intervention" at Margo's and brought Lyla back to stop her from marrying Simon. I recall a lot of Craig/Katie scenes in the first few Block years. Once the baby switch hit, they were really in different orbits - but the first couple Block years, the Montgomerys played a lot together. .

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
