ATWT: July Discussion Thread

Good show today! The writing and acting was great overall!

I've never been the biggest Carly fan, but I really liked how most of the scenes tied into one storyline. I wish they would still revisit Carly & Holden...I haven't seen Jon Hensley light up in his scenes for a while.

Julie Pinson nailed expressing Janet's frustration and hurt over Sage telling Jack that he still loves Carly and later on, when Janet demanded why Holden needed to call Jack about his ex.

I don't like Liberty & Parker, but they had good scenes today. I also enjoyed Craig & Rosanna's. Both scenes were very character-driven. Something that has been missing from this show for the most part.

While I lobsterlove Damian, the fact that Luke now goes to him instead of Holden for everything is not believable. That said, I'm praying that today was a hint that they're moving Damian away from Meg and towards Lily.

Lily did act nonchalant when Holden told her that Carly has a drinking problem. Compare her reaction to Janet's when Jack told her that they had to pump Carly's stomach and that definitely makes this scene a WTF moment.

Now that you put it that way...I'm even more annoyed at Lily's non-reaction, and Janet's over-the-top OMG reaction, which to me seemed really, really fake.

Welcome back to the thread, SJ and Dusty!

I think Martha Byrne and Shawn Christian *-might-* have had chemistry...but definitely not Prescott and Beck. That was just uber-gross.

As for this whole Hunter/Em/Ali story...I feel like I should turn off ATWT and watch the sequel to the storyline..."The Hills Have Eyes".

P.J., you have yet to join our lovely discussion about out wonderfully gifted writing regime. I thought you would have gone postal by now...

I was out of town for nearly a month and have been watching the Damian scenes on YouTube. I've somehow gotten into watching the rest of the show lately, though. Sounds like I've been missed...aww...

Anyone catch Friday's episode? I was surprisingly entertained. The scenes with Brad & Geneva actually made me laugh out loud. :lol: Henry looked like he was about to vomit when Brad suggested that "she" wanted him. LMAO! That "OMG, I can't believe what I'm about to get myself into" expression on Henry's face before Geneva admitted to Brad that he was right about her wanting him. Trent Dawson was fantastic!

Ohhh...I love that Damian basically said that it didn't matter how Meg would react if he tried to take Dusty down. Now, that's the Damian I love!

Paul's an idiot, but I like him. Wish they would put Dusty with Meg, two characters I dislike rather than Dusty & Bonnie.

Previews for next week look gooood!!! :D

Sigh...there are times I just accept the things I cannot change.

I was just coming to post how much I hated Friday's eppy!! LOL!!! Thank God I didn't watch it live, I think my head would have exploded and been orbiting Mars by now. Somewhere, Doug Marland is rolling over in his grave watching his beloved Kim Hughes "roar" because she's a "lioness". *eyeroll*

Talk about going from the sublime to utter ridiculousness....it couldn't be any more abrupt going from Wed/Thurs's eppys to Friday's. I felt like I was watching a really bad episode of "Bosom Buddies" with the Geneva stuff. (And, if you don't know what "BB" is---you're way to friggin' young...LOL)

    • 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.
    • Congratulations to Carlos Alcaraz on his second win at the French Open!

        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.
