Members DRW50 Posted November 5, 2015 Members Share Posted November 5, 2015 I never really minded Henry. He at least entertained me. I preferred him when he wasn't up Katie's colon, as she had enough men chasing after her whiny, self-righteous prom queen ass. I skipped most of Janet's scenes in the last year so she didn't bother me that much. Then again I didn't really enjoy most of ATWT past 1995 so I didn't have any real expectation.

Members NothinButAttitude Posted November 5, 2015 Members Share Posted November 5, 2015 I wondered that too but I left it alone. I just thought Henry was always a waste, who should've left back in 01/02--whenever the Endicott award arc ended. Barbara needed a strong, stalwart man by her side. Not a limp noodle like Henry. Like Lisa, I wish that they would've cast a new man for Babs. Randolph Mantooth (despite him playing Hal for awhile), James Kiberd (despite him playing Hal for a sec too), Larkin Malloy, Danny Parlato, etc. All of strong actors in CZ's age range could've played a suitable new mate for Babs.

Members DRW50 Posted November 5, 2015 Members Share Posted November 5, 2015 Larkin Malloy was not all that strong and stalwart by the time he popped up on ATWT in that era. To me Barbara was never really about the man and more about her own complex personality. I actually only liked her with one man in her whole run on the show. She had a lot of bad pairings. With that said, I was mostly just glad she had something to do that wasn't about her hammy shitstain of a son, and I didn't mind Henry, so it was OK with me. I did hate what they did with Vienna. Sorry - this has gone way off topic. I guess it sort of sums up my interest in Laura, to be honest. I will stop now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted November 5, 2015 Members Share Posted November 5, 2015 I didnt mind any of Barbara's pairing minus Henry. And yes they totally ruined the Vienna character…I think she was one of a few that I actually liked that was new to the canvas. She was much more appealing than that awful Juicy Janet. And I was thinking the same thing…we have gotten way off topic…sorry Toups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted November 5, 2015 Members Share Posted November 5, 2015 Well it wasn't like they were going to ever put her back into her element, BRO, so she might as well had gotten a love interest to distract her but Henry wasn't it. I hate what they did to Vienna too. They should've divulged more on Vienna and Bonnie's history in Europe more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted November 5, 2015 Members Share Posted November 5, 2015 It was about Jean, so that wasn't off-topic. My stuff was. Anyway, yay Genie, let's go Laura, bring Lesley back please so I can give a hot damn about one person in that family, yay go yay yay, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted November 5, 2015 Members Share Posted November 5, 2015 @DRW50 & @cassadine1991, I think we all were at fault. Clearly, ATWT is a sore spot for us all. But yes, bring Lesley back. And as I said earlier, bring Deception back and put Laura in that orbit. I miss the days of this show when people used to go to work.

Members NothinButAttitude Posted November 5, 2015 Members Share Posted November 5, 2015 No one and that's an issue with all of the soaps across the board. No one has jobs. No one has ambitions. Nothing. Job related stories have always been my favorite type of stories on soaps b/c work relationships can always murk up your personal relationships. They are the perfect catalysts.

Members cassadine1991 Posted November 5, 2015 Author Members Share Posted November 5, 2015 Yes to bringing back Deception. I'd have Laura hire some people as models or designers (Brook Lynn, Kristina, Maxie, Lulu, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted November 5, 2015 Members Share Posted November 5, 2015 IKR... You see people at the PCPD, they do nothing. The only characters that are actually shown working are Patrick Drake and dayplayer bartenders... Remember the old Jabot, Newman workplace scenes?... tragic what has happened the last few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted November 5, 2015 Members Share Posted November 5, 2015 Maxie I could see. I'd bring Serena back to rival Maxie. Lulu, regardless who played her, was always too dowdy to be in the fashion world. She just needs to follow suit of her grandma Lesley and become a doctor or nurse. And they need to bring back Crimson Magazine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted November 5, 2015 Members Share Posted November 5, 2015 Before they give Maxie a meaty story …she needs to be recast….the actress(so called one) is just awful. She was horrible on Days and she is just as bad or worse on GH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted November 5, 2015 Members Share Posted November 5, 2015 KS is good when Maxie is a bitch. Ever since they declawed her and made her Lulu's flunky, she's been a boring mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
