ATWT:Holden


Recommended Posts

So it has been reported in various soap mags that there is a cris/tragedy. SID reports this cris/tragedy involves Holden. Wonder what this means? All these newbies (like Janet's cliche mob family coming to town) and they are getting rid of a core family character? Is this to get Damian and Lily together? They can both leave town, take Luke with them too.

I'd hate to see this happen, because of the HUGE fan following Holden and Lily have. I can still remember watching their love story unfold back in the 80's when Martha Byrne was still playing the role. That was my intial exposure to her, to ATWT and to the Holden/Lily pairing. I liked Lily with Damian, but the Damian she fell in love with is not the same Damian we see today. I hope that the show would not kill off or do anything to Holden that would lead to the departure of Jon Hensley. But hey with Goutman I guess anything is possible!!!

Do you have any more details Mike? The presumed dead stories are so old. I would rather Holden be in a coma state or on the verge of dieing. I just wish Martha was in the role as Lily. The story would have so much more impact. Maybe with this spoiler and the Babs/James one the show will get back on track. I hope Emma is featured heavily in this story too.

I think people are sentimentally attached to Holden and Lily. But Martha Byrne's Lily. Holden's truly been dead to me for the last year. Beck's "Lily", but she hasn't won me over. I suppose if Holden "dies" there'll be some outcry, but for his character, not because "Holden and Lily" are headed for the rocks again.

If Holden were on screen in a Coma/dying Lily would not be able to jump into bed with Damian. I would assume tptb think this would be a popular move but nothing is more repulsive. Martha's Lily in this story would be great and I could careless of Noelle's her version of Lily means nothing to the past or present of ATWT.

BTW, love your screen name. Loved the Ruxton Hills fire story on ATWT, which was once a finely written show.

I agree that most people are sentimentally attached to Holden & Lily. I wasn't around to see the beginning of their story, but I've been watching ATWT for nearly a decade and have never found them exciting. They're like the family member you don't care to keep in touch with but if they suddenly died, you would be shocked and upset out of instinct. There's comfort and stability with this couple, but no passion. I also found MB's Lily to be really bland and childish. Maybe it was the lack of good storylines they were giving her, but I just always preferred Rose to Lily.

While I love Noelle Beck's Lily and am totally shipping Lily & Damian, it's lazy writing to have Holden presumed dead. I don't want Holden dead, I just wish they would find someone who suits him better. He's bland as wallpaper with Lily. I wish they could hook him up with Carly again when Maura West comes back.

    • Given the weird fantasies/out of town barn trips she does for Reva/Kyle, I can't see it either. (Not to mention Kyle's obsessive talking to paintings, or Billy's nightmares.)
    • She would be great, but I of course am thinking of her in What's Love Got to Do with It.
    • Agreed that they had a home in the present tense of the first set of episodes.  But I was wondering if they lived in the mansion in the past when Sophia disappeared, and moved out when Santana got pregnant?  Or even when Danny was born.
    • According to the French Santa Barbara site the Andrades had a house in the early episodes.  I thought I remembered scenes in their home. The Andrade house
    • I always wondered if the Andrades lived at the Capwell Mansion?  Certainly they could've had a living room in their space or wherever they went on days off. But, I felt like it was never clear whether Santana visited Rosa when Kelly and Eden were young, or if she actually lived in the servant's quarters (one hopes modern developers have found a euphemism for that space).  I always imagined that Rosa, Santana, and Reuben lived with CC up until Channing was murdered, and then they found their own place because the kids were mostly over 18 (and Santana was pregnant). I like the idea of Rueban and CC being close until Santana got pregnant.  And then Reuben would've hated the adoption of Brandon.  Which would have meant he hated CC, and would've only continued to work for him to try to get info on whatever happened to his grandson. With regard Ava Lazar, having recently rewatched the pilot for the millionth time, I find her captivating to watch, but her line delivery is so dull. She looks amazing, and I just want her to be more quick witted.
    • I liked the original 4 family set up.  The families were all different from each other and were intertwined.  They should have been given equal airtime. I felt that Lockridges were perfectly cast with the exception of Laken.  She should have been quickly recast.   I liked all 4 of the actors cast as the Andrades and wish they would have been given better writing.  I really thought Ava Lazar (Santana) would have been one of the breakout stars if she had not been replaced. My only issue with the casting of the Perkins family was Robert Alan Browne as John and as much as I liked Mark Arnold he was the wrong actor to recast Joe Perkins. And of course it was ridiculous how badly they screwed up the casting of CC. The other Capwells were well cast.
    • This late 1976 stuff doesn't sound as bad as it has in other versions I've read (weekly recaps from Jon-Michael Reed and SOD synopses). I am surprised that there is a variation of Ian - Meg - Arlene - Tom playing out this late in the game, but it doesn't sound half bad. Ian's involvement with Beaver Ridge and how it impacts Rick and Cal's future also intrigued me  more than I expected. Even the Carrie - Betsy connection having Carrie watch Suzanne while Ben is visiting was a nice surprise. I feel like this all falls apart pretty quickly with the arrival of Mia Marriott, Michael Blake, and a slew of other half baked characters under Upton.  
    • Too bad she ended up on Y&R. Actress Valarie Pettiford might've been "Sharon" because she sings too and does it pretty well.

    • @NothinButAttitude thanks for sharing the rough draft. I had bought "Shadows on the Wall" from Kathryn Leigh Scott's website probably 20+ years ago. It's a fascinating read into a very different version of what the show could have been. 
    • @Efulton That's the quote I was refering to. In the bible, at almost the beginning, Rueben and C.C. were compared as being similar as two fathers wanting everything for their children, or something along those lines. I do think the Andrades were intended to have more of a role, but they never even garnered a family set (just Santana's apartment). In 1991, they added the Capwell kitchen which seemed to be a domestic space for Rosa, but clearly not solely Rosa's. I feel like I remember Rosa confronting Santana about her feelings for C.C. being an attempt to recreate her grand fantasy with Channing, Jr. in the kitchen, but more likely that was the bedroom Santana was redecorating (C.C.'s master suite) utilizing the designsshe had envisioned for herself and Channing, Jr.
