Joey Joey Joey. I so want to root for him. The actor is likeable and very handsome. He's a legacy character. I just can't get past his lack of intelligence. He's a big dumb schmuck. I find myself rooting for Cutter, who I don't find appealing on any level, to take him for every dime he's worth. Why are they ruining Joey?

I don't get Marty's breakdown. What is she so flippin' heartbroken over? Her son in prison? The 6-week old fetus she lost 9 months ago? All of it? Well, break out the violin. Her sob story is one of many on the show. I'd rather see her keep her sanity and continue being a bitch than have the show try (and fail) to force me to feel sorry for her. She was wailing so much today that I cheered when the nervous hospital finally took her away. A fierce bitch turning into a weak sloppin' mess is the easy way out. Too bad. Marty was finally a viable character again.

What the hell were John and Natalie thinking not putting a security guard at the nursery? A lunatic who wants their baby is in the hospital and they think a security guard who makes $5/hr is going to be able to keep their son safe. Those 2 need some parenting classes.

I always find it funny when people think a story brings an actor to life. Michael Easton chooses to act some days and not act on others. It doesn't seem to matter what the story is. It seems to matter only what his mood that day is. Maybe he had a really great bagel that morning? Whatever the reason, the guy should "come alive" no matter what the story is. He gets paid enough, no?

I think I'm supposed to root for Kelly in this Kelly vs. Aubrey fight, but I'm getting slightly more enjoyment out of Aubrey. I'm not a fan of either character, but I can tolerate Aubrey a lot more. I just have not been able to warm up to Kelly and I don't think I ever will.

Marty's breakdown made me laugh today. I get that she's devastated over Cole, but . . . who cares? I'm not buying this obsession she has over Natalie's baby, considering she hates Natalie and believes the baby to be Brody's. I think I missed something here. RC (IMO) has taken Marty's psychotic behavior over-the-limit and she's heading into Cartoon Villainy territory.

The only part of the Inez story today that I liked is that she told Bo and Nora that she and Bo didn't have sex.

Because Joey isn't a rapist, or a constantly philandering, dead-eyed sleaze, or a chia pet who constantly has to pull monkey faces and have his paternity rewritten every year to try to make him a star, or somebody who barely bothers to make eye contact with other characters. That means Joey is weak, and pathetic, and can only be brought back to give story to others. That's likely also why they moved Josh Kelly, when they decided they liked him, into another role. Cookie Cutter is another generic sleaze we're supposed to love. Joey is just another loser who will likely be gone by the end of the year.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Aback · Posted

      I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him.

      I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.

      Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much.

        Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year.

      Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
