Another peek at the empty husk of ATWT 1996.

At least they seemed to give John, Lisa, etc. something to do. Too bad about the writing.

Bleh Nikki.

Well, it's nice to see some of the vets being used, and it's nice that the Chedwyn story remembered Lisa's vanity and her love of adventure, even if she was a dupe.

The dialogue is so shockingly poor. That scene with Zoe and her agent is truly, truly abysmal on every level. No wonder fans were fleeing in droves.

I wonder if they were trying Jess/Hal.

I love the late 70s ATWT clips with the Joyce storyline. I wonder what was going on behind the scenes here.. were the Dobson's forced to do the Joyce story as it got a lot of play here but then Don and Mary left and then the focus was Lisa vs. Joyce for Grant and then Joyce, just...left town.

I am freaked out to think this Don is kinda sorta sexy in a bad 70s polyester I dress and act older then I am way.

LOL...I am getting addicted to this storyline. It moves sooo sloooooowwwwww and everyone acts like they are on xanax, and I know what happens but if I leave that behind its kind of fascinating to try to figure out if Joyce is really on the up and up or up to know good. The actress plays here so well that you feel sorry for her at the same time she gives you a..."something aint right with this chick." vibe. I wonder what happened to the actress?

I love that Chris and Nancy are the voice of reason and used so much. Bad on whomever tried to shove them aside in just a few short months they became walk ons. Chris seems more elderly then Nancy.

I wonder if Wagner was ever jealous that Hays took over as matriarch of Oakdale? (and had a better color scheme in her kitchen.)

Fun to watch these episodes and figure out how it could have moved quicker...(why do we have to have Mary calling Nancy on the phone and then basically telling Don "I called Nancy and you werent there?" uh, yea, we had to sit through the pointless scene.) Looks like chemistry testing with Kim and Grant so Nick has not been created by the Dobsons.

Barbara Rodell never really did anything significant on daytime afterwards. Her signature role was Joyce, and her previous roles were notable also. I SO wanted Grant to stroll through The Lakeview on ATWT's last episode and ask for Lisa...with Joyce lurking in the lobby...

    • lol he sounds like he's speaking as Randy    
    • Dani going to Bill's house is karma for how he messes with Martin. It is totally separate, but I can't feel sorry for Bill when he's constantly antagonizing a family he says he wants nothing to do with.
    • I understand what Lois did. I can see everyone's side, even if I don't agree with them.  That  proves it's a good story    Lois is far from ruined
    • Oh wow. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
    • The character of Lois has been ruined and trashed. There's no coming back from this mess. The current production and writing team have had no idea as to what made her special to begin with. She had a bit of moral fiber. Her treatment on the show is not atypical though, as most characters will get trashed, even beyond redemption, if it serves the current flavor of the month plotline.
    • No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

    • I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.
    • You would think that, wouldn't you? I'd almost think they needed the money to get Robert Newman back, but they also had to know Larkin wasn't going to stick around and play second banana either. I don't get what the writers thought they were doing with Calla. Long liked using actors from Texas, but other than Alex/Bev McKinsey, the characters she wrote for them seemed blah.
    • Bo has a bad history with kids named Zach. (too soon?)
    • Christie said in her interview this week -- that before taping this, she had recently started taking acting classes again, and had been doing some work in England, so that helped her to jump into Carrie for this (as well as it being all so familiar, it really was home.)
