ATWT: October Discussion

I loved today's show. I actually preferred to watch it to OLTL, which is rare for me since OLTL is my show, but the overabundance of Stacy, Rex and the crap heap turned me off.

Anyway, Lily vs. Meg is so fun to watch. I think it would be a great twist if Meg truly didn't want Damian at all, but instead just wanted him hurt as much as he hurt her. And I think I may be in the minority here, but I DESPISE Damian. I don't like Seganti either.

Anything with Craig/Rosanna I always get an immediate since that it will be crap. What was with Cady McClain,s Judith Chapman eyes today? Another reason I could add to why I hate her as an "actress."

Is it weird for me to just FLOVE Emily and KMH. I don't know why, but I love her to bits.

Yes, that's very true. I don't know why I'm surprised that she has such great chemistry with Jon Hensely...I think it's because he looks more alive when he's interacting with Judi's Maeve. There's a sparkle in his eye. I'm not really used to that from him, and it's nice. It's too bad she's leaving.

:(

I like Lynn and I think she's done what the role has asked her to do, but I do think the show needs another fairly stable, down to earth woman in Judi's age range.

Judi is so underrated. I think people remember her roles, not her. And they remember caricatures of those roles. Victim Beth. Weeping Paulina. Trashy Bonnie.

If any soap wants to survive they should snap her up for a major role.

I scanned through today's show.

I try not to dislike Beck, because I've never liked Lily all that much anyway (my favorite was Heather Rattray!), but she was so over the top in that argument with Maeve. I wanted Maeve to smack her one.

Maeve started it alluding to Lily being greedy with having 2 good husbands. I loved the snipey banter about the outfits and then Lily rubbing it in that they're staying at a hotel she owns! Awesome! ... Lily was over the top with Meg though, saying Damian won't be with Meg even though Lily will be with Holden -- "You may love Damian, but he'd rather be alone." Meg was hilarious with her "Misplace one of your husbands? I hate when that happens."

I was surprised Lily finally managed to get that ring off. And Damian is still sooo confident that Lily will still come back to him. I liked her "maybe", not "no", to Damian. Hmmm ... The rest of the show, Lily was referring on an automatic level to Holden as her husband, so I can't be too optimistic.

The rest of the show was great too ... Was the cheesy scene the one with the tired mother with the baby at the park, P.J.? That was the only thing that seemed kind of funny cheesy to me.

I liked Brad and Janet trying to support Liberty now. But I don't think Janet has it in her to make that atitude last. I guess Parker is trying to get his trust fund money just to help Liberty raise the baby, not for himself? Aww. Craig is so wrong that Parker is like him, no! LOL.

An "A" episode.

LOL that was my feeling on Monday after the first day he was back.

About Judi Evans, yes, I agree, love her, some show shoud hire her! Paulina on AW was wonderful, "real." But Maeve isn't related to anyone and the show is on a tight budget, so I can see why she can only be a short-term character unless Maeve were to actually get together with Holden.

JE does have the magic wherever she goes. She clearly knows how to sell a character -- but she's a placeholder till the show's main blonde returns for Holden -- Carly. I hope they go back there -- will they pick up the relationship again? After all, Holden did try to help her on the "wedding day" episode, where Carly ended up at the Wagon Wheel. BTW -- When does MW return? It's been three months.

The, uh, kicking in of Carly's door, and Rosanna's sputtering protest that she "wants to be a good sister and a good person...but then you show up!", complete with more shots up Cady's nostrils as Craig clamped on like a parasitic eel and they melted to the Carjack couch/floor....didn't seem a little bad Lifetime Movie Network-ish to you?

Between Cady's nostrils and the strain on Lindstrom's jacket (making me hold my breath waiting for a Hulkesque ripping to begin as GreenLustFilled Craig emerged, complete with shaggy hair)...I was LMAO.

    • 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.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
