ATWT---July Thread II

[kelly1142]

I was reading a live cap on another board. So, it's just Meg's world, and everyone else is just living in it, yes?

Nothing's changed since I stopped watching (outside of YouTube clips).

[Soapsuds]

A brain chip?...lame... I am going to ramble...lol

You know the Nukesters are going to get you PJ for saying Jake Silbermann can't act even with scruffy on him...lol How in the hell can Noah be a senior already?? There is no possible way.

Once again Van continues to smirk and make these faces when acting opposite Silbermann. Van has gotten that bad habit from playing opposite Silbermann too much. When he isn't with Silbermann ...his acting improves. His scenes with Jon & Noelle are more natural.

I was hoping Meg and Harem would all get caught up in the big explosion. I loved Emma's little talk with Saint Meg. She never learns and it seems she will go back to Pauly once again...sigh.

Emma and Babs were golden. Reminds me of the good old days of ATWT.

Mason please [!@#$%^&*] Noah and take him far away from Luke.

[EastMA2]

Ruxton - get ready for this. Apparently, Silbermann made some innocent comment that he'd like to play Noah's evil twin, so now lots of Nukesters are bombarding TPTB with that idea. Ugh - can you imagine 2 characters? One's bad enough where Silbermann can't act, let alone two.

[Soapsuds]

I know already. I think he made the comment in one of the soap mags. The Nukesters already bombard TPTB with postcards etc etc for more Nuke airtime. Now they want the idotic evil twin plot for Silbermann. I just want TPTB to get rid of Silbermann. Spend the money on something else. As the old saying goes....Silbermann can't act his way out of a paper bag. The guy is awful. I'd even take a good recast of Noah if they arent going to get rid of the character.

Today was not as good as yesterday, but that was more or less given when the horror that is Meg/Paul/Dusty/Damian had screentime. I have to say though that Paul was somewhat amusing with his one-liners. But the other three could be written out immediately and I wouldn't miss them one bit! Why did they ever bring Dusty back!! He's brought absolutely nothing to the show, nothing!!

Lovely to see Emma again, it's been too long! The scenes with her and Barbara were today's clear highlights. So now we had Susan on yesterday, Emma and Barbara today and Kim and Bob tomorrow?! Is it "Veteran's week" or something? Not that I'm complaining. Now, if we could get Lisa, Tom and Lucinda too......

I'll reserve judgment on Mason until we've seen more of him, but I'll say this, if they're thinking about putting him with Noah, think again. Not an ounce of chemistry there. Zero, zip, nada!

And I agree with Ruxton Hills, Luke is better away from Noah nowadays. I actually used to like them together, but I think it's time for Luke to move on. Noah is growing increasingly boring.

Nice to see Holden back to being Luke's father. I definitely prefer him over Damian. But oh how I miss Martha Byrne as Lily in family scenes like that!

[P.J.]

I don't know what I find more annoying...Luke's sense of entitlement, or his '70's porn hair attempt. Stick a cheesy mustache on him and you can practically hear the lame "I'm hear to fix the plumbing, sir" dialogue with a "bow chicka bow bow" riff in the background. The only thing Van really does well is Luke's annoying bitchy-possessive commentage anytime any man comes within a mile of his lay.

My other thought was...why is "Professor" Mason dressed for winter in the Antartic? It's the middle of summer in Illinois. At least he could have ditched the scarf.

[Soapsuds]

I hate Van's bitchy attitude of acting. Gawd...it's so bad.

Hahaha..PJ have you seen the video of Van when he finds out he was nominated for an Emmy?? He is wearing curlers and says it's to get his hair it's best or something like that...lol. Does Van frost his hair?? Color it??...or should I see the hairstylists at ATWT?? His hair color changes so much.

Didnt notice the Mason attire. I just hope he gets Noah in his own boring orbit. I just hope he seduces Noah. lol

[P.J.]

The only ATWT emmy nom reaction I was interested in this year was Maura's...and as usual, I got squat. Not even an "I called Maura as soon as I heard" blurb from anyone else.

So I looked at neither of CBS' pimpage for Hansis or Pinson. Neither of whom I think deserved a nom or have a shot in hell of winning.

LOL...I hear a collective gasp from Nuke Nation in my head. I'm freakin' EVIL...

But just knowing Hansis had curlers in his hair....:ROTFLMAO:

[DRW50]

I know some of Maura's previous maternity leave exits have involved character assassination. Do you think that was the plan this time with Carly but Maura and the other actors managed to turn the material around, or did the show actually make an effort this time?

[SpiritualJunkie]

I didn't notice Mason's outfit, either. He dresses up like a total hipster, though. Haha...

It was nice seeing Holden being Luke's father again. I don't think Jake Silberman is a terrible actor (he's nowhere near Peyton List-bad)...I just don't find him particularly interesting.

The prospect of Damian even considering teaming up with Dusty is mindboggling. I do miss evil Damian, though. That sure was a WTF moment when he told Meg he changed for her. I actually don't mind Paul & Meg when they're bantering like they were momentarily at Fairwinds...Paul sure is witty, I'll give him that. I had to crack a smile when he asked Dusty if he was going to make him swim with the sharks.

I actually liked the way the show ended with the bomb. Paul having a brainchip is such a Days of Our Lives thing to do!

[Juliajms]

I wonder if this is RH ad libbing to some extent. The reason I say that is because Craig was always so witty when Hunt Block was in the role. Once he left all the wit seemed to go with him.

[P.J.]

Sigh...I don't know. I mean, it's not as disasterous as Carly taking off with Simon, or even back-writing an unknown husband that made her a bigamist three times over.

And Carly becoming an alcoholic is rather tame, considering Em's foray into hookerdom.

But there is just a part of me that detests the way they got Carly to this point in the story. Of course, my number one problem being Carly letting Craig back into her life after blaming him for Rosanna's coma for like, five years (if you go by Johnny's SOARSing, anyway.)

I suppose, on the whole, it appears the writing staff made an effort this time. Shocking, I know. This is one of the few times she's left on a semi-hopeful note, even. She's going to rehab to get better. And it's not like she'll come home a pariah.

Ugh...if there's one trend I hate, it's children who stop treating the person who raised them like a parent. Remember when Adam practically divorced himself from Tom, went to live with Hal, and then spent most of his time hanging out with Jake and Molly?

Now, not only does Luke seem to spend every waking moment consulting Damian, Lily's buzzing around her ex like a little ladybug whore.

[P.J.]

There is just no way to make the Paul or Katie et al plots interesting.

But it's always a treat to see Bob and Babs sharing a scene and acting like family.

[ChiTownBoi03]

As usual, really enjoyed the show today. That surprised me because Meg and her band of blithering idiots were integral to it, but I *truly* could not contain the excitement of seeing Dusty go DOWN! GET HIM DAMIAN!

[Soapsuds]

Barbara and Bob....pure golden. Too bad we didn't have Kim included instead of her being stuck in the Geneva Swift mess. It would have been a Margo, Bob, Kim & Barbara moment at the hospital...sigh...seeing Don Hastings today proves how he is being wasted. This man could still drive his very own storyline. Yet, we get Meg 24/7 and her stooge suitors.
