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.

    • And, to me it is a little bit hilarious that AW fans all over continue to refer to it as Egyptian Dust Recently elsewhere I've been running polls. When did you stop watching AW or What storyline caused you to stop watching AW. You may be interested to know that sticking it out till the bitter end is winning by a landslide. Next highest vote getter is - no surprise - Frankie's murder. So that covers like 60% & next 20%. Then the votes drop way down to 10% and well below but a wide array of reasons are given, including but not limited to  Justine Lumina Rachel having twins at her age, how ridiculous Mac's death the 90 minute show firing JC, George R & Dwyer Hmm, I know there are a few more, in the 1%-3% range but I cannot think of what they are. Sorry, my bad. Should have made notes but I didn't know I would be posting about it. LOL!!  
    • A kind angel has added both episodes to the vault (UK Diva TV broadcast version). 
    • Yes, I think that is the most likely situation.  TPTB were unhappy with the offer(s) they got from the tourism board in Finland, and decided the trip was going to be too expensive for P&G/NBC to finance alone.   I would also speculate a similar situation likely occurred a few years later with the planned location shoot in Egypt, which was also cancelled after the storyline had already started, and changed to Arizona.

    • In my usual account on my most used video hosting site with the video title  DAYS 1-8-15 Will & Paul Sex This is an edit I began when I was first teaching myself to edit & at that time I couldn't make it do what I wanted it to do. I pulled it up & finished it this morning. 
    • Or Megan is shot as retaliation for Dave's unpaid gambling debts...while Julie confesses she's the biological mother of Special Guest Star Barry Bostwick's little boy.
    • Finland seemed such an odd choice for a location shoot. ATWT went to Greece and later Spain while GL had Tenerife and there were others in that timeframe. But Finland not being a known tourist destination or offering the tropical/sunny atmosphere usually associated with location shoots seems off brand. Maybe they were negotiating a deal with a tourist association and it fell through.
    • I was talking about 1986, but the glimpses of 1982 are about the same. 
    • I skimmed some of the 1982 synopses; Steve was planning on an opening an office in Finland, and I think Jim went there as part of the preparation. That probably was a big issue; AW had already gone to San Diego that year, with Rachel/Steve/Mitch. And to upstate NY with Pete and Diana. I wonder if upstate was as expensive lol  AW in 1982 has always fascinated me, because of how messy it was 
    • That makes sense. What a messy time for the show. And any changes they made were mostly for the worse.
