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."

    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • 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.)
