As the summer gets nearer, I find myself getting less and less invested in the show again. I go through these cycles. I'm still watching it, but with one eye shut and probably dozing off. Like, I'll literally be thinking about what I'm going to have for lunch or what kind of laundry detergent I can get on sale this week while watching this trite.

LOL, you guys! :lol: I just checked my last posts, and I hadn't realized that I haven't been posting on a regular basis for over a year! :o

I actually just stopped watching soaps all-together...real life took over...soaps got boring...and I don't even know how to tape shows on satellite. I've been catching ATWT, Days, and GL if I'm happen to be home (now that school is over). ATWT is still terrible overall, but I kinda started watching on a semi-regular basis when Damian & Luke had lunch and Damian was trying to have a father-son chat with Luke...the awkwardness of it all somewhat intrigued me...and I haven't even been much of a Luke fan ever since they SORASed him. I think that was the same episode where Damian basically told Lucinda to take a hike haha. So now, I'm catching all things Damian-related on YouTube.

Just a few notes...

-Lucy's been recast again?!

-I liked Dusty once upon a time (GM's version), but I am soo over him now.

-I also used to like Meg, but she sucks a-- now.

-I caught clips of the Holden/Carly affair on YouTube...I thought they were hot and for once, Holden became likeable for me...now, he is back to being one of the most annoying characters on the show.

-Lily & Damian need to hook up. Soo much history there and I'm sure those two still have the hots for each other. I'm not sure how you guys feel about Noelle Beck, but I actually like her. She comes off as less self-absorbed and childish than Martha Byrne's version. I like MB, but I liked her better when she was playing Rose. I've just never liked MB's holier-than-thou version of Lily.

-I'm neutral about the new Craig. Wish Scott Bryce was still in the role.

-I actually felt bad for Katie when she realized that Vienna was carrying Henry's baby...I might have felt otherwise had I been watching the show on a regular basis. Katie went from being my favourite character back when I started watching the show way back when...to being one of my least favourites.

-Ditto with Alison. Her and Casey as a couple is just weird. Not terrible. Just weird.

I missed you. We had to go to monthly discussions as the ATWT posters died off.

At least you missed the two-week Maddie recast. She sucked. And she and Lucy made brief returns at Xmas---it was hard telling them apart if (okay, when) I wasn't paying attention.

Sacrificed to rehabilitate Craig. I was never a huge fan, but it sucks.

Ugh...don't get me started. The pairing reeked of desperation. And when he kept telling Lily he'd work on their marriage, then tell Carly he couldn't get her out of his mind (when she tried to push him away) and then crawled back into bed with Lily----he officially died for me.

I wish TIIC had just torpedoed Lily and Holden last fall. They had a perfect opportunity when they recast Lily.

Don't we all??

Katie hasn't done much since marrying Brad. I think we're supposed to feel bad for Katie, but she's barren because she couldn't wait for her body to heal after donating bone marrow to Johnny. She took fertility drugs and had an ectopic pregnancy. Hard to feel sorry for such an idiot, even if I'd had an ounce of like for the idiot.

On to today....

Hmmn...what to say about today??? Other than the fact tomorrow can't be worse???

Katie is a bloomin' idiot for thinking V's baby is "hers" because "if we hadn't wanted a child in the first place, V wouldn't have gotten pregnant." HONESTLY, it's childish reasoning like that that makes me hate her. One gets the impression Katie thinks that if she simply stomps her feet long enough while asking "please, please, please" until she's worn her victim down, she'll get whatever she wants. Four year olds shouldn't be raising babies, period.

*bangs head* More of the adventures of Luke---*eyeroll* Next on ATWT, SuperLuke vaults into action and makes the world safe from hair gel slicks. News at 11.

Seriously...can't someone tell Van his sideburns make him look way older than Luke's supposed to be??

Watching NUKE today-- an old R&B song ---" Jim Dandy to the Rescue" popped into my head and now I can't get it out. :lol:

BTW: where are the docks susposed to be located??? Makes it had to believe that they are in JokeDale especially when the scenery is screaming NYC. :huh:

Depends on the day. Somedays it's Oakdale. Somedays it's Bay City. The boat names didn't bother me. Ships from everywhere dock at docks and haul cargo back and forth. It's not like a sea of NY/NJ license plates running around Oakdale, IL.

Although if Carly's shipping that much vodka, she shouldn't be having money problems anymore. :D

So of course Damian is evilllllll all along. So stupid. So stupid. So, so, so stupid. I hate this show.

Noah is a whipped fool, for real. Let's just pretend that I don't hate Nuke. Why is it that their last few stories have all included, somewhere along the way, Noah warning Luke to chill the eff out, with Luke rolling all over him and saying that he's gonna do what he wants to do? So lame. I hate it hate it hate this show. It makes me want to throw things, man.

Lucy, I don't care about you. Go away, please, and don't come back this time. ihatechu.

Because Luke's a slightly less butch version of Lily??? (Oh, if only he had a sister taken hostage in a third world country so he could go off and prove himself....) Ugh...how could both Lily and Holden be so stupid to think their always right, morally crusading son wouldn't immediately ditch Noah after escorting him to work?

Luke is Farrah, Noah is Sabrina, and I think that leaves Casey as the slightly dimwitted, but always shaking his assets Kelly.

    • I knew you would be so excited seeing your girl Brookey as #1!!!! She also WINS as to Frequently Married!!!  
    • Yes, Stacy does this both for early DAYS & early GH. I have written some for her, for DAYS. But just one tiny point & that is that she only deals with DVDs. I realize that is not the point of your posting but it seemed the right thing to clarify. I know that you know that video tapes is past, not present.
    • Hahahha I think sleeping with almost all of your daughters's boyfriends and husbands and getting pregnant... definitely gives Brooke the right to top 1 place. Long live the whore of Beverly hills.

    • CurlyQGrl has DVDs of some episodes, that they can sell, but that doesn't matter. What is helpful: they describe the scenes on the tapes, so you can read that as recaps without ordering anything. Doesn't really give storylines, though, which is what you asked for.  Here's the links anyhow. full menu https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/menu.html GH page https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/menu.html GH 1960s https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/eps/gheps1960s.htm
    • I would argue that Another World never played "everything" for laughs. Even when there were comedic scenes in some storylines there were other storylines that were not intended as comedy.  You give 1988 as the end point, and Mary was on the canvas from August 1986 to February 1989, so she must have overlapped with the despised laughs you are referring to at least half of the time she was there. I honestly can't recall any real comedy that Mary would have been part of. I don't think she was lighthearted about choosing between two husbands, MJ's prostitution, Kathleen's death, or even her son Scott dating her daughter Cheryl.  I would have said that the amount of comedy depended on the head writer and there was more comedy under Richard Culliton and Gary Tomlin in 1984 than subsequent headwriters. I guess there was an outbreak of more comedy when Cecile kidnapped Cass from his wedding in 1986, but in general the Sin Stalker wasn't presented as funny, Mitch's return wasn't funny, John's arrival wasn't funny, Reginald wasn't funny. The tone was serious even if the plots verged on the ludicrous. And maybe that's what you mean -- but I would make a distinction between intentional comedy and storylines I can't take seriously for other reasons. 
    • I'm excited for us to get back to a full weeks worth of episodes and also us beginning to move into the episodes filmed once the show premiered. We're already starting to see changes in the lighting and the way certain characters are styled. Of course we know this week we have our first recast as well. After the big Eva reveal, I hope the show continues to move into a positive direction and that we see them starting to fix some of the things we've all had issues with.
    • It seems like they may have been going in one direction for Andre and then changed their mind. He had this player/bachelor thing going at first where he was messing with Dani, seemed to be feeling Eva, and then somehow smitten by bland Ashley of all people. I feel like Ashley was supposed to be the one that finally made him want to be with someone and settle. The way he talked her up in those earlier episodes was really confusing. The wonderful, amazing nurse Ashley and conveniently she's unattainable because she has a partner, but he can't stop thinking of her and takes these busted pics of her. It was a mess. However, it all seems to have been dropped. I honestly feel like Andre can go. That may be an unpopular opinion but I don't need his breathy final syllable to be content with BTG. It's always like "There's gotta be another wh-ahyy"
    • This is where McLaibey falls apart. It becomes clear that McTavish had not thought past Brent/Marion...so the energy drops and she starts throwing things at the wall (Blakes twins, Lonatrat.)   Fans HATED this funeral. Everyone is mad at everyone else, which is fine, the death of a beloved community figure would give people a reason to come together...(Quint and Nola could come together at least for  a bit to support each other, Nola and VAn could finally admit they kinda, sorta like each other) Its just an example of McTavish's mean writing.   I have a feeling they were going to make Dahlia Frank's kid but they chickened out. Making Tina a prostitute didn't help, they could have been lovers when they were young but felt society pressure to part. Marcus took over David's role (you can't have two young black men at that time...)   Get used to it...this will happen, the same storyline over and over until the end.
