ATWT: October Discussion


Recommended Posts

That Katie vision stuff was a bit overextended. I did think it worked better than expected, and reminded me that in some way, Katie/Brad is the most tolerable Katie pairing has ever been in (I liked Katie/Simon but that went to hell after about a year). Terri Colombino did a good job with the whole labor and aftermath.

Stuart Damon's done a great job these past few days. He sells Ralph as a guy who is somewhat decent but who is also unstable and a coward.

I liked how they tried to tie everything together. The Dusty tie-in was awkward, but at least they tried. I don't care about Teri/Dusty though. The only person I've seen Dusty have chemistry with in recent years is Bonnie. I don't know why that ended. It never even really began.

Liberty having the miscarriage seems like a bit of a copout.

I was shocked to tune into OLTL and see JJ! I always prefered him over Parker because the actor has more range and the character was less annoying. I knew he was joining the cast, but forgot about it. He looked much different, older and he has a better haircut. I'm really excited to see where they take his character. It's a shame ATWT didn't recognize what they had and give him more to do. Parker and Liberty are so isolated. If JJ and Faith were more heavily involved maybe I wouldn't be so irritated by the other two. They're in dire need of friends their own age.

Right now I'm still enjoying ATWT, but becoming annoying with certain things. I hate that in this HW switch they completely dropped the Adam story. Passanante is still around, so things like this shouldn't happen. Is Adam off the show? Does this mean we'll no longer see much of Margo? Plus, why did they waste Maddie in the story with Audrey and Henry? I guess it doesn't matter since maddie is so watered down now.

Although i haven't missed her, I'm finally ready for Carly to return and that's what I'm looking forward to now.

Wow...gotta say I liked today!!!! Another cliffhanger Friday, and special kudos to the PR department for not giving away a HUGE reveal in the previews for next week.

LOL...my Carjack heart FLOVED the nasty turn Janet took, accusing Jack of "not wanting to raise the bastard child of my bastard kid....and the Snyder boys are all off the hook..."...O. M. G! **giggles** What a bitch! I cringed when Jack kowtowed to her, excusing her bullying for the past few months, but for her to say that---WOW. Shows she doesn't know Jack at all. *happy dance* Jacket's going down.... <BEG>

Other than Austin Peck really hamming it it, I found myself affected by Katie's plight. Which is pretty unusual.

I wish Holden would 'do Maeve already and rub it in Lily's face. The latest go-round in the Lilden-mobile was the least interesting plot today---by far.

Wow PJ excited about an ATWT show...shocking news....hehe!!!

I had a feeling today's show would be good including another Friday cliffhange. It is nice that ATWT brought back the Friday cliffhanger again. I'm going to watch the show in a couple of minutes.

I am just liking the fact that Jack will have to deal with what he has done. It helps that I didnt care for the Brad character or Austin Peck. Jack hopefully will now see Carly in a different light. The are rumors she will be on that road trip with him. ATWT sure loves their road trips...lol. At least this isnt a teen road trip. And your Maura is coming around the corner PJ....LOL.

^^^I know...I'm so freakin' excited to get Maura back---I didn't think I'd make it at times! :lol:

The one really bad scene today was Peck going nuts at the OPD. So not going to miss him. I read Branco's article today, again pissing and moaning about how this is "ruining" the show. HELLO---how is getting rid of (arguably) your worst actor and creating a HUGE umbrella story out of it, "bad"? The show is more compelling than it's been in quite a while. If Branco bothered to remove his lips from Peck's pecker, he'd see that.

    • 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.
