ATWT: July Discussion Thread

Oh, that Meg/Dusty/Paul/Damien story is definitely the weak part of the show right now. Damian should not be anywhere near it, because I don't hate him...I hate everyone else. What it does is perpetuate this fantasy that Meg would have three men falling all over themselves for her. Seriously??

At some point, Ro and Paul (or Craig, I'm not completely sure) decided that the only way to truly protect Cabot from James was to have him be adopted in secret in like a foreign country or something. I'm not even sure Rosanna knows exactly who has him---just that the people who would place him with a couple was completely trustworthy.

I thought today's show was outstanding. Besides the Noah nonsense and Jake's awful acting ...I thought the show was brilliant. I lobster loved the scenes at the end with Rosanna and Jack.

Why can't my show be this. damned. good. every day?

Okay...maybe not this good, because we all know stories have ebbs and flows. But like, even 50% of this good would be a VAST improvement on the crap I've waded through for quite a while.

The entire Carly story feels so classic...it's like Doug Marland forcibly took over Gouty and/or Pissy and wrote a compelling climax to a story that will springboard the characters into new directions. Not just a completely "new story" that has nothing to do with what they've been doing for the last six months.

Sure...Nuke was on, but TIIC had to put some other story on. <BEG>

I kept thinking the same thing.

I agree. It did "gulp" have that Marland feel to it. Jack not wanting to be with Carly yet he did. Janet arguing with Jack about Carly. Parker worried/concerned about his mom. Janet trying to keep the awful truth from Parker. Carly just totally passing out and rushed to the hospital. And those words Rosanna told Jack...."She needs us to help her...."...

The only bad writing was the whole you have never judge me Holden crap...Holden judged her from day 1....anyways..a good script from Gordon Rayfield.

The Carly stuff was great, and I'm really enjoying Rosanna now that she's away from Paul! What a difference a change in company can do! :P

The whole Noah burning his father's stuff was ridiculous though. :rolleyes:

And this whole St Damian act is really getting old.

I really liked Luke during his coming out story, and I even enjoyed him with Noah in the beginning, but now I just want him to be rescued from this crap. He deserves better than Noah. Hopefully Forbes March's character can provide that!

Tomorrow looks like an episode straight out of hell though. Dusty, Paul, Meg, Brad and Henry/Geneva all in the same episode! :wacko:

I wouldn't expect a Forbes March character to bring an oasis of good acting, or the show to know how to introduce a new character. I'll be surprised if he's still on the show by October, they can't keep anyone around.

Y'know...it obviously wasn't my favorite part, or even history I cared to recall, but maybe I can see Carly's point now. Since they became friends, he hasn't judged her. Of course, I'm sure if he'd ever said a word about her drinking, that tune would have been different.

The one thing I found totally odd was Lily's near indifferent reaction to Carly's drinking problem. It was like "oh..she does? Let's make out after I spent the afternoon with my ex."

    • Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well. 
    • I like to call her an FC-reject character

    • I’m sensing you’re not really a John Black fan from your posts. This has been some of the best soap Days has done in many years but you seem completely opposed to it lol.
    • The John Black character has been a part of my life for decades. I like heroes being honored, however imperfect they may be.  I'm glad they are giving him a long farewell and tribute.
    • Annie Dutton was anything, but sane when she was introduced.  She was very tortured and looked like she was on the verge of tears when she was first introduced.   While people, and writers, made it seem as though Annie lost her mind because of Josh.. I truly think that Annie had a lot of untreated mental issues that didn't manifest until her marriage to Josh. Sonni was also anything, but strong when she was first introduced either.   Claire in 1983 was a complete 180 from the Claire that we got in 1986... and I do agree that her character was degraded.
    • I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
    • She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
    • I am a little disappointed that the show will be writing Jenn as in the wrong for her not liking Cat, when she's actually in the right.  Maybe if Cat was played by a competent actress and had a purpose, I would be more behind this propping of the character. And I can't wait for the funeral for John Black to be over and then we can proceed and move on.  
    • I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis.
