ATWT: August 2010 discussion

[Jay]

^^^The Nikki Munson who lasted about three months.

Formerly Jordana Brewster, right, who spent time with Kerr Smith as "Teddy"/"Ryder"? Damn, they were hot. Especially him. I hated it when he turned out to be a homophobe (in reaction to his playing gay high schooler "Jack McPhee" on Dawson's Creek, he said he didn't think "two boys kissing" was something that should be going into the homes of America's youth, or some such horseshit). At least it led to a decent gay porno, Dawson's Crack.

She was awful!! The days of Henry and Mike...hahaha....Henry so had the hots for Mike. Then they blew it and brought in Vienna and now Babs.

Who's your boyfriend-du-jour today, RH? Red shorts?

That's Imanol Landeta. He is a spanish soap actor/ singer.

You have such nice taste in men.

Sheffer was FOOLISH to ignore the chemistry between TD and MC, and this is not me talking as a little fanboy who needs to see hot guys bumping and grinding all over my afternoon telly. They were totally playing that with a Mike/Henry undertone to it. Like Mitch said, the way Henry pretends to not want to see but peeks anyway. Then at 1:17, Mike gives Henry that, "I'm taking it all off for you, you better enjoy this!" look. Then the way they scurry on out of there, Mike's hands obviously groping for one thing but touching another. And the dialogue just writes itself:

JENN: Did you see the look on Mike's face?!

NIKKI: Isn't that cute, the way they're so into each other?

JENN: That's not cute, that's hotttt. Henry is hotttt for Mike.

NIKKI: We should give them some alone time. Unless, of course, "emergency martini" is code for something else!

JENN: Ha! Let's make 'em sweat for a while first and then we leave.

NIKKI: Sounds like a plan!

Okay, I am not one of those, "I want a bunch of shaved, tanned, primped and steroid boys going at it all day long," either, that little look Mike gives Henry is kinda sexy. I don't think that for one minute, even a gay Mike would be hot for Henry, but it was kind of a cute, flirty, "I know your gay and into me and it doesnt freak me out," kind of thing. Plus the two actors are so obvious about it and not even looking at the girls, I have to think that TPTB were into the joke too, or they wouldnt have let it get to air. Only Dawson would have said so much about Henry with that coy little peaking out of the cards thing.

I do have to say Henry and Mike are way hotter then any Luke/Noah or dont hate me, Luke/Reid thing.

Ah, what might have been if they had just let Henry be gay.

[P.J.]

Thank God Babs is finally free and took a shower.

LOL...am I the only one snickering at Katie's breast to vagina separate-ness from new lover Chris? Eskimos in the middle of winter bare more skin after sex than she did today. Guess someone doesn't want to start another round of rumors by getting "too close" to their co-star.

[Soapsuds]

I love that John Dixon was mentioned on Wednesday's show.

And he's right, it shouldn't. Not when Daddy and the hot pool boy from Ecuador can give 'em a much better show on Saturday afternoons. ;-)

Dylan Bruce, Mark Collier, damn ATWT has had some of the hottest men in daytime over the past few years....

If there's one thing I'm going to miss about ATWT, is it's knack for casting hunks and putting them on my tv screen at 2 o'clock.

Edited to add: Scott Holroyd, Chris Beetem, Todd Rotondi...the list goes on.

[Khan]

If that list goes on, must it include Todd Rotondi?

Paul Taylor, Paul Leyden, Lamman Rucker, Craig Lawlor, Agim Kaba, Jesse Soffer, Paul Korver, Grayson McCouch, Bailey Chase.

Paul Taylor, Paul Leyden, Lamman Rucker, Craig Lawlor, Agim Kaba, Jesse Soffer, Paul Korver, Grayson McCouch, Bailey Chase.

Michael Cardelle Sucky character and storyline, but so, so pretty.

Sadly, there's under a month left, and we can't even talk about the show because it's so lame. I hope they pull it together for the Nancy tribute.

Didn't ATWT also fire most of these guys?

It was wonderful seeing Larry Bryggman in the previews.

I flove my Carjack...and I felt oddly compelled by the Lucinda/Lily confrontation today.

But way too much Jan/Dusty and Craig in the waning days of the show.

[DeliaIrisFan]

Watching Lily tell Lucinda she's no longer her daughter and she's cutting her out of her life, etc. I was reminded of the story in which (Martha Byrne's) Lily legally nullified her adoption, the last time Lucinda did something "unforgivable" (lying about Holden and Aaron, I think?). I've only seen those clips on YouTube, and I'm not familiar with how they ended up reconciling. Was Lily ever officially re-adopted (or un-unadopted)? If so, I guess it would be hard for Lily to find a judge who would take her seriously if she tried to do it again? All that is by way of saying that, just having seen bits and pieces of Lucinda and Lily over the years out of context, the scenes on Friday seemed like been-there-done-that (with a new actress playing Lily, who doesn't even have the history). Am I missing something, or did it seem even more hollow for actual longtime viewers?
