Y'know I love this show...but these stories suck. I couldn't believe TAIC wasted Maura for two days literally standin' behind the menfolk as they whipped 'em out and decided who was Johnny's father.

It's the dumbasses grew up reading Cliff Notes instead of books.

And GAWD, I wish they'd just can Lindstrom already. HE SUCKS.

Hahaha...you just basically summed up the state of the show in that sentence. But good to hear I've been missed! :)

Ugh. I didn't even like Alex Chando's Maddie.

Didn't Lily sleep with Mike? Holden & Lily have become a couple by default. It doesn't seem like ATWT has supercouples, but if they have any, it's these two and Carly & Jack. I've never understood the appeal of either, though.

That's one thing I hate about the Katie character. More often than not, she's portrayed as the victim. Other characters sing her praises. We're *supposed* to like her...no matter what she does. I liked her when she first came on the show...back when people didn't trust her character. I hate how quickly she's become "Saint Katie." Seems like a lot of ATWT fans aren't liking Damian as a good guy, but at least half the town is still treating him like a criminal.

Today's (Thursday) show bored me. Can't say I really care about any of the characters that were on. I like Henry & Vienna, but Katie & Brad can both take a hike.

Parker & Liberty were married? What are they - fifteen?? What happened to JJ?

Oh, God...do not tell me that they are thinking of pairing Damian with Meg! Pleeease, no!!

Yep, horny Lily jumped on the Tool. NuMike was okay....but a lot of people thought he looked way too young for the part. I think TIIC assume a lot of people are still attached sentimentally to Holden and Lily. I even liked them when they were young...but they'd run out of steam even while Martha was still around. I honestly think it was a mistake to recast Lily without a long, LONG period between Byrne and Beck. An "end" to the marriage would have made the Holden/Carly affair a lot less disgusting and a lot more understandable.

I think a lot of ATWT's trouble with couples now stems from the fact there's no buildup to a relationship and when you get it, it's destroyed in a matter of months. And even if a couple manages to get past that, then they're backburnered. Brad and Katie got married and disappeared (at least it seems like it) between sex romps. Henry and V have never really had a story other than sex romps. Don't get me wrong, I'm actually glad I don't have to see a lot of Jack and Janet---but the lack of romance leaves a gaping hole in the show.

They haven't given Damian much to do besides beg Luke for mercy.

Parker and Lib skipped to an imaginary state that gives 16 yr olds the right to marry without parental permission. Carly and Craig managed to get to the justice of the peace before the "I do's", but Parker went on a tirade, listing all of Carly's mothering failures and claimed he was afraid of her controlling his trust fund. (Parker was upset because Jack had finally got fed up with his 'tude and was going to use trust fund money to send him to a private school, so he got an injunction, then heard emanicipation would be easier if he got married--or wanted to--so he "proposed" to Libby) The judge threatened to throw Carly in jail if she touched her son, and went on with the ceremony.

JJ got shipped off---he supposedly wanted to go to private school and got a scholarship. I don't think he even hung around to see Jack marry Janet.

Uhm....I'll see if Carly can't ship you a crate or two of Midnight Sun vodka. It's her preferred drink of choice, although lately, she's getting tanked on everything.

Quick impressions....

FLOVED seeing CZP/Barbara again!!!

FLOVED the way Carly just hauled off and slapped the piss out of Craig. I just wish it was because he's an !@#$%^&*], not because she was protecting her vodka like a momma Russian bear.

I honestly can't believe he's lasted this long given the frantic pace ATWT moves at.

Also, I can't believe NuNuLucy is gone again. I didn't like the actress, she just didn't embody the whole "I'm Lucinda Walsh's granddaughter, bitches!" spirit that Peyton List had. If Chrishell Stause leaves AMC I would love to see them pick her up for this role, or Heidi Mueller from Passions.

TODAY is a day to watch, at least if you love Maura...Carly unleashes on Craig in a way that's so good, I felt bad for her. And almost for Craig.

And I hate the bastard.

Eek....the Ali/Casey/Hunter stuff....not so much.

No, you're not wrong.

Hunter needs a) some man-scaping and B) a gift certificate to a gym with a tanning booth. I wanted to snort when Em said she'd "dated a younger man, and it wasn't for her." Let's see....originalPaul, Chris, Casey...it took her a while to decide "younger men" weren't for her.

*eyeroll* I'm so glad Paul stands out in the middle of Oakdale Mall and explains to anyone within listening distance that Sally, the babysitter I paid off to make Meg look like a negligent mother has returned to town. Gosh knows poor Damian might have mistaken "the babysitter" for any regular sitter Paul and/or Meg had ever employed.

My ears are bleeding after listening to Katie and Brad yell their way through the entire episode.

V and Henry's message to their baby was heartbreaking though.

      I would only add that Sam Ratcliff is frequently named in regards to certain AW comedic turns.  And, we know from Carolyn Culliton (tweet 2024) that Sam & Gary put their heads together & came up with that gorilla.

      GH: Classic Thread

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      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.

      GH: Classic Thread

      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.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Chris B · Posted

      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"
