When Christopher Goutman basically told that reporter from SOD that he didn't care at all about what the viewers thought, I knew ATWT was done for.

I often see people who say this praised for being honest and noble, but most of the time they have also lost any ability to produce. And ATWT wasn't even one of the shows with the crazier fanbases.

Does anyone remember who Forbes March played on ATWT?  Apparently he played a gay character late in the show's run.  But I was watching at that time, and I don't remember him at all.   Can anyone remember the character, his storylines, and which other characters he interacted with?  I'm drawing a complete blank...

It didn't look that good. I've never gotten over how they (and to a lesser extent AMC Los Angeles) began transitioning to more and more awkward remotes which at ATWT began to eerily resemble Peapack. The worst I saw was the hilarious 'action' remote where Grayson McCouch roundhouse kicks Billy Warlock's thugs by the dumpster outside the studio, with lousy Wheeler-esque lighting and one track from the score to Inception on repeat.

Of course, the "dead gays" trope comes out again. But also it shows a naivety on writing for gays that these two guys in their 20s or 30s or going to ride off together and stay together their whole lives. But I think that is the problem with soaps, they have this silly ideal that the end all and be all is to be in a relationship, and each relationship on the show has to be geared toward the soap money shot of a wedding...only for them to break up six months later. I would have been happy for Reid just not to die (and of course say, "Luke, your a nice kid and a great lay, but that's all it is, your a silly little man dive and your annoying to spend more then the night with")

Thanks @Maxim

I was trying to remember if those scenes were in the WeLoveSoaps uploads. I think these might be a bit before the WLS clips.

I liked Deborah Hobart on AW (she was the only Holloway I cared about, even including Judith McConnell and Kit's studs), but she had no business playing Bob's girlfriend. 

I can already sketch out Dee looking depressed somewhere offcamera during that Peter Simon scene.

I think I remember the twinky guy talking to Jay from some other clips, and the actor is familiar too. I guess I should try to look back to remember if he ever had any story. They have a bit of chemistry...

Poor Carol. Easily the highlight there.

    • It could’ve worked. The storyline could’ve even been that Cam was still learning the violin over the last year and the Nurses Ball was meant to be his big break. 
    • See ya bright and early tomorrow morning! True, Kristen deserves a child like that. But it was too much like the way Ron wrote the kids on GH; they’re only awful, obnoxious little sh*ts because he finds it funny
    • Thanks for the Days writer update. Since Draughon started in August 2024 according to his Linkedin profile and this episode was taped the week of September 9 2024, it seems the outlines are being written about a month or less from tape date.
    • So far all I'm enjoying about the show is SINN and surprisingly the Finn/Liam bonding/friendship that's it lol 
    • I guess it shows how uninteresting B&B is right now when most of the posts these last few pages have been about Don Diamont's celebration and not about the actual show....

    • On Days of our Lives-- Rick Draughon was listed with the breakdown writers starting today and Isaac Francis Tackman has been listed alphabetically with the other scriptwriters since Tuesday.
    • Oh, I liked O.G. Rachel, too. But this one seems to be projecting in her acting as if in a theatre; it's a very different take on the role. Both are nice, though. And yes, nü Rachel did just get cast in the Little House reboot as Laura Ingalls (originally played by Melissa Gilbert). As for whether she'll continue on DAYS, who knows? I am sure TPTB could give her time off to film eight to ten episodes of a television series for Netflix (which may not even last beyond a singular season).

    • They got a few decent episodes out of it, but I don’t see the long term goal or story potential here. Lois will likely go back on the back burner pretty soon, Gio is technically an adult, and who cares about Dante and Book Lynn having a child together in the long run? After the initial shock wears off, there’s no story left as it’s not like Dante and Brook Lynn are in love with each other but torn apart by circumstance, or their insta-child is reliant on them in any real capacity. It all feels very shortsighted.
