The thing is, he was involved with Maddie for like a month or less before the Nuke story started. I can't say that he was better with her because that was never really a story. I don't think he's a great actor but I think it has more to do with limited story partners and with no real acting coach on the show. I wish they'd shown him more with Dusty, and had him mentored with Lisa, or Lucinda.

The way I see it is that Adam WAS a forgiveable underdog for many years. I would rather go back to that and try to forget the shameful story dropped on his head a few years ago, one of ATWT's darkest moments. Unfortunately, I know that within a few months he could go back to being a crazy attempted rapist.

I can't believe how nice it was to see Maddie! I used to hate those movie/fantasy sequences TIIC wrote for her when she first started. She even managed to make Alison tolerable today. Although I'm completely aghast that Maddie's now "sorry" for "overreacting" to Adam's attack on Gwen. No wonder Casey's a mess---everyone in his life is excusing Adam's actions. I don't give a rat's ass if being buried alive pissed him off. He was plotting against Will long before that. That might not be a jailable offense, but it still means he was a snake.

Yes I was so glad to see her again too and not some lousy five-minute recast either! I actually somewhat liked those movie/fantasy sequences that BJ Green storyline was purely idiotic and superfluous but at least they added some camp to it. I though Maddie was great as a funny, sarcastic, unapologetic teen, this was of course they turned her into a psycho and then had her be depressed all the time. Just like Gwen. It figures Passanate would ruin her own creations within a year.

And where is Jade in this Adam story? I'm surprised she hasn't been used since she was one of Adam's biggest defenders, not that I actually want to see Jade again stupid whore.

It was nice seeing the original Maddie back. I already forgot the horrible recast returning and have such a blah blah of a story. What a nightmare that was. I am so sick of Casey and his baby tantrums. The guy really needs to grow the hell up. The show was solid today but it looks like GH2 is back tomorrow with Barbara included.

I understand why Casey's pissed. Adam comes home and everything's automatically forgiven, in part because he "died"---another lie on his part. His mother emotionally blackmails him into keeping this secret, putting them both on the line (not to mention her career in the OPD) when Casey's already on probation. And all this after his parents basically supported him getting jailtime to "grow up and be responsible"---knowing he'd have a harder time of it simply because he was the DA's and Police Chief's son.

Oh, and the fact he really only landed in jail because Adam tried to frame Will, and Casey kept his mouth shut to protect his mother from knowing how far Adam had fallen.

And now, everyone, including his current girlfriend and his ex, are letting Adam get away with it.

It's almost too bad he's not doin' Luke---at least then Adam would be an evil homophobe and shipped off to jail tuit suite.

Oh I truly understand why Casey is pissed but it's the same thing with him. The writing is so repetitive with Casey. Instead he should tell his parents...you know what I am moving out and to hell with you both..you cared more for Adam than me...and then have him live his own life. Instead we keeping getting the same blah blah blah from him. Eh...I can see Nu Adam doing Luke and Noah too...lol.. He doesnt look like a homophonbe.

Just like with most people his age, I think confronting his parents is a lost cause for Casey. They would never understand; Margo's way too focused on Adam right now to give any thought to why Casey's acting out. Not only that, but he probably doesn't feel comfortable opening up to them because of the situation itself...(Tom/Margo giving Adam waaaayyy more slack than they ever gave Casey).

Maddie using the Louis rape debacle to excuse her attack on Adam?? Not buying it. Adam was clearly attempting to force Gwen into kissing him when Maddie attacked her. TIIC need to do their research.

Speaking of Maddie/Adam, Maddie mentioned that Will and Casey vowed to keep their silence about his devilish deeds when Adam left. I don't remember that. I thought Adam just sort of...vanished. (Kinda like John Dixon and Ben Harris) Am I wrong? And even if I'm wrong or not, this supposed vow of silence that Casey and Will made makes no rational sense to me. Why would they want to protect the one person who had caused them (and their girlfriend/wife) so much misery for months?

I used to have a problem with Marnie's acting, but now, I've gotten used to it. I won't say she's the best in the book (Jessica Dunphy, come back to Oakdale please!), but her acting has improved. In fact, her acting style reminds me of a cross between Cady McClain and Marie Masters. She has the vocals of McClain and the facial expressions of Masters. However, she does need to decide on a hair color. Every two months, she's dyeing it or cuttin' it.

Paolo needs a new hairdo. This whole slick weasel thing he has going on is hurting him, not helping him.

*shudders* Noelle Beck.... *shudders again* I actually used to look forward to days when Lily was on, but now, I can't stomach her. That whiney screeching gives me chills. Plus, the writing for the character has continued nosediving, even after Bryne's exit. Holden's not even fake-dead a good week (two weeks probably--in "soap time") and she's already boinking her ex-husband and wanting him to come live with her. :rolleyes:

LOVED seeing Alexandra Chando again.

It was so good to see Maddie again! I forgot how much I loved her. I hope she stays around and this isn't a short stint. It would be nice if she acknowledged her Mom being in town and Henry being James' son. :blink: Although her scenes with Allison just reminded me how good that age group used to be and how much it really sucks now. :(

This whole Damion/Lily thing makes me hate Lily more. She really is a trainwreck. Fawning all over Damion like that and I'm supposed to believe that she's truly mourning Holden's "death". :rolleyes:

They did make some kind of deal. Will and Casey didn't want to chance the girls facing any charges. Casey especially, since it brought up memories of her rape for Maddie. That's why Will, Gwen and Maddie were on the run in Michigan when Adam attacked the girls at the cabin. Plus, telling the entire story might have opened up Casey for more charges (crossing state lines while awaiting trial) and completely destroyed Margo's idealized vision of Adam at the exact time Casey was facing jail time.

Adam did seem to "disappear" from Oakdale---but it was because the girls "buried" him. He then stalked them off-camera until the night of the attempted rape.

    • Assuming that Marland had been allowed to write the Carrie story the way he'd envisioned, Millette would've been involved in the story. And she might've played a role in Andy Norris' return (if the speculation on that had ever materialized, and Marland loved bringing back bad boys) But he doesn't seem interested in Sara's personal life. And the women of Springfield could only be analyzed so much.
    • This better be something, because as I said, so far it's just cliches and stereotypes -- the story we've heard a thousand times about the homeless person who doesn't want a home and prefers to live on the streets.
    • @rsclassicfanforever thank you very much for the recent uploads of season 13 containing some episodes that were skipped or glitchy on YouTube!  I had a look at 3172 though and there is no audio for most of it? Would you have a copy with complete audio? Fingers crossed! Thanks again!

    • I like Margaret well enough in what I've seen of her as Paige - she is green but she has real star power.  I agree about the actor who plays Brian. He's...mostly just there. Not bad but not great.  My main issue is with the guy who plays Owen. He's just not appealing to me. I can believe Nola being obsessed with him, but he's draining to watch.  I'm surprised people objected to the quasi-incest elements as it wasn't anything that new for soaps.  Speaking of Kim, here's a rare episode of an anthology show she did called The Evil Touch.

    •   I get what you're both saying, and I think the show was lucky to have even made it that long, but I think they could have still maintained a certain audience - Second Chances did before the earthquake. CBS was an older network anyway. I think the premise of Knots was still usable, it was more the characters who were a problem - many of the older figures were played out. If the show had done a better job building up its younger cast instead of making so many poor choices in the late '80s and early '90s, they could have kept things going a little longer. 
    • I wish I cared about the homeless lady as much as everyone else seems to. After the nothing burger that was the lawsuit, this just feels like another boring Naomi storyline at Orphy Genes since she has no office.
    • That's great to hear. Thanks. I wish that was more readily available.
    • Just learned that Clifton Davis wrote this song!  I had no idea.

    • I think even if Marland had wanted to write more for Sara/Adam, his hands would have been tied as Robert Milli was one of the actors dumped by P&G due to his age.  From the bits and pieces I've seen of that period, Sara does have a key role in the Carrie plot, and Marland briefly gave her son Tim a more important part. I'm not sure if they just gave up on Tim once Kevin Bacon left or if they never really cared. I did not even know for many years that there was an actor in the part after Kevin...and then not one, but two. The Spauldingfield video on Tim doesn't even show the last actor (Nigel Reed), which kind of says it all. Anyway, I do get the sense Marland has some use for Sara, or for Millette. It's only after he goes that she is dumped. Of course he didn't ever hire her for his other shows, so maybe I'm wrong. (then again he never hired Geraldine Court either and he seemed very fond of her) Ann is an odd character to me as she is a proto-Lillian in being defined by pining for a Bauer brother and being involved in the death of one of their wives. I do wonder what else they could have done with her. She was friends with Diane, wasn't she? They could have had Diane manipulate her against Mike, I suppose.
