The biggest continuity error has been the fact that the whole thing about all of Adam's misdeeds was supposed to be kept secret from Tom and Margo. This was the reason why Casey wasn't forthcoming about the truth behind his crossing state lines and may have spared him the prison time. Yet at some point Tom and Margo all the sudden knew of the atrocities Adam had committed and were very appalled. I feel bad for Casey I can understand Margo but I feel Tom should be harsher--dredge up some of that contempt for Hal he use to have.

Jade and Dallas are still in Oakdale as far as I know. The roles are recurring, though. Aaron is recurring also, which is why it upset me when he returned for the funeral. He didn't even mention where he's been. A character's exit should always be somehow addressed, IMHO, so that the audience isn't left hanging/wondering.

J.J., however, was sent to boarding school and that was explained on-screen when it happened. In the mean time, we've never heard anything about where John, Jessica, or Ben went when they left Oakdale (or that they even left). As far as I know, no one has mentioned anything. That's what I thought was the case with Adam; I thought he just kinda vanished from Oakdale after the whole cabin incident. No one ever said where he went. I might be wrong, though.... I don't know.

I know I should find some reason to object to the total recharacterization of Janet as some ultra-religious, controlling, manipulative Momma who would rather force her daughter to carry a child she doesn't want than listen to her child and let her make a decision that impacts the rest of her life....but since I don't GAS about Janet, and I'd much rather see Libs, Parker and eventually Carly all open cans and cans of Whoop Ass on her sanctimonious bee-hind....I'll live with her obnoxious behavior.

While some no doubt find Jack and Brad's 'tudes just as bad...sorry--anyone who trusts the "change" in Paul and Em needs their head examined.

Uh...to say the Craig/Ro stuff was the polar opposite of sexy was an understatement. Lindstrom seems to take the "vacuum hose" approach to kissing---and he looks like a dead mackerel smackin' up on poor Rosanna.

I don't trust the change with Paul/Emily. I know TIIC will find a way to mess it up; they always do. However, I am very welcome to the change. I was gonna cry bloody hell if I had to put up with one more innocent tween getting flucked by Emily; or one more psychotic act of behavior/manipulation/whining/kidnapping by a flare-nosed Paul. The change in character is welcome, but no, I don't trust it.

I don't trust the writers to not ruin Emily again. I don't trust the writers to not completely ruin Damian again. I don't trust the writers to not ruin Adam again. I'm so anxious.

I guess Carol Burnett was right when she called this As the Stomach Churns.

I do think the girl who plays Allison has improved, or as others have said, perhaps I've just gotten used to her.

I'm still enjoying Stuart Damon's intro to the show, he makes the Juicy Janet family more tolerable for me. And I like the Craig/Audrey scenes, even though I know it's unfair to ATWT fans to push this GH/PC couple. I guess since they aren't really a couple on here, and ATWT isn't marketing them and shoving them at people the way AMC did with Beth Ehlers and RPG, it doesn't bother me that much. Overall I think Lynn and Stuart are working out better than I thought they would.

I disagree about NB, i think shes fantastic. But ITA about the writing.

I agree. I loved seeing Maddie back and AC just fits so well and is refreshing to watch IMHO. I really wish she hadnt played 2nd middle to the much overrated Jen Landon for so long.

I agree.

This would be great.

I think its a combo. IMHO shes improved a bit, but not much. Overall im used to her in the role now. I actually much prefer her to the awful actress they had in the role. I really miss Peyton List's Lucy.

She did have some screen presence, but the character was such a mess (and that whole teen scene was such a contrived mess). Then they put her with the Chris who looked old enough to be her father. I had a lot of problems with ATWT in those years. The show isn't exactly great now but perhaps my expectations are lower, but I do enjoy the show more right now. This current actress reminds me more of what Alison probably would have been, as she was raised by the reformed version of Susan. I wish she had more edge but I don't mind that she doesn't.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.

      I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.

      It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.

      There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.

      I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.

      Dr Linden. She treated Vanessa's drug addiction (although Vanessa seemed to forget that by Henry's suicide attempt) , and she's mentioned during Reva's PPD. Although I can't recall if she's actually shown right off the top of my head. She probably was temporarily shelved when Sonni was a therapist (between her crazy times) And I think Billy sees her after he falls off the wagon after Reva's death.

      Kinda agree. I have some issues with the sets. Nicole's living room is bland-looks like a display home. Bill and Hayley's is too small and basically hideous. And neither of them have a front door/entrance or staircase. People just appear from the corridor. Those green accents  at Uptown are way too much. Also,Naomi and Vanessa not having an office or a home .

      Thanks @Paul Raven  That Grainger story always reads like hog-wild melodrama, not very similar to the more subtle stories for Rita in her last few years. I wonder how Lenore played the material.
