I've been an ATWT fan for years now, almost 20 years and ATWT has played in my families homes for about over 45 years. After a little break due to travelling, though I tried to keep updated with SOD, but characters changes and new faces are all that seems to be on right now. Not that I'm upset with new faces, I usually tend to like new characters when they got well played story. Come on Luke and Noah, Why Ameera???? Couldn't you come up with something else up like maybe a AIDS scare, something more social, drama real. ATWT was once capable of writing these great tales.
BTW, Who's Sofie???? Is she Paul's daughter with Sarah Kasnoff, so that will make her Mike's niece??? something for you writers to think about.
They need to fix the whole show. First they fire Scott Bryce, then they let Jennifer Landon, Jesse Sofer, and Martha Byrne leave. That is a huge mistake. They should've given Martha whatever she asked for. Recasting her is going to be a big mistake. No matter who they get. It's going to be sad to see Gwyn and Will leave. I love those two. I like the new Casey, and I am curious to see who Matt really is. But Gray is just stupid and so is that whole Sam murder mystery. But then again, anything that gives Parker screen time is okay with me. That young actor is really good! I love Katie and Brad together. They are cute and funny. They need to stop dragging it out though. And I really wish Maura West would stop making the face that looks like she just smelled something really stinky. There has got to be a better way for her to show she's angry! Please put ATWT back the way it was. I can hardly sit through it anymore!!
Okay....wait a minute....I'm a big Martha Bryne fan, and i strongly agree she will probably "our" Lily for a long time, but instead of killing the character I rather they recast, cause that gives us a chance that Martha might return if she doesn't get swapped up first from ABC....Paul dated Sarah Kasnoff, Mike younger sister in the 90's during another period of a group of unkown faces (Ben at the time was new, Mark, Sarah, Zoe, Paul (played by another actor) Deigo) It was during Shawn run at Mike.My Idea with Casey is bring back Maddie but I don't see that happening but I do predict something with Allison, espically with her playing dective. Casey is going to get in deep at first but come out looking the hero.
I hope they don't try to pair Casey with Ameera. I just don't see that happening.That whole Ameera storyline bugs me as it is..I find Noah to be veryy boring and the actor playing him can't act very well.I like Holden and Lily together but what could Martha have asked for that they wouldn't give her?!?! I'm really curious.. I don't mind if they recast her as long as they stay true to Lily.
From what it sounded like in SOD, it was over money and insult. Martha signed a 1 year contract with a significant drop in pay and when that was coming to an end, I presume she wanted her salary to go back up closer to what it was. During normal negotiations, they didn't agree, which always happens, but then CBS cutting off negotiations and immediately posting for her replacement (which is a tactic that sometimes backfires) was very insulting to Martha, I would assume. Work on a job for nearly 20 years and then treated like you don't have any value to a company you've invested decades of your life in would sting, so she was done with them. But, ATWT is confusing right now. The shows ratings are slightly up, but the story is not very good, the boost is, I think, due only to the gay couple, who I don't like and would rather just have them gone because they don't add anything to the show. They seem to be kind of on their own show and drop in to other people's stories or someone once in a while drops into theirs...but that could be said of many stories. There are a lot of stories that feel disjointed that should be connected through common characters...I predict a drop in the ratings in the next month or so back to 6th or 7th due to the actors leaving and story slumps...someone needs to write a great murder mystery, but other than Craig, no one is hated enough. ATWT is now as lite as Guiding Lite (spelling intentional). P&G needs to shore up their stories...
ATWT use to be my fave, but it has gone to the dogs lately. Some things that I think went wrong: carly & simon. I love Simon but it should have just been a Katie Mike simon thing. one word...Adam. They missed the boat with that story line then they went overboard. I mean how many days was he buried suposedly alive. Jen and hal's characters not being recasted. I think they should have kept Jade. The break up and subsequent loss of the actors that played Casey and Maddie...bad move. sophie needs to go. I mean come on her and paul or chris, she's dead weight. She needs to let Gwen and Will raise Gwens niece and leave town. the new shake cam..BAD! Meg losing pauls baby bad and sad. ATWT needs to keep their power house actors like martha, hunt and bryce no matter the cost because these actors = viewers which = money. I for one will stop watching when she leaves. Katjack was a huge mistake. i think making Luke gay was a mistake. Not cuz he's gay but because the story does not have a long shelf life. I love the actor that plays luke and I feel that because his story is limited he will very soon be leaving the show. And last but not least..Dusty dead!!! Hello recast...wrong on so many levels not the least of which is the lost of the FINE actor that played him.
Everything you said was true. I love Carley & Jack together.Hate Luke and Noah. Boring!! Love Henry & Vianna. Love Katie and Brad. Funny & exciting.
I still enjoy the show for the most part, sure it is boring at times, but still good.Love Luke and Noah, and Carly and Jack which I hope are together again soon. Though I do wish they would get more back into the family storylines.

ah! good idea. I didn't know he'd been with any Kasnoffs.if she must stay on the show,at least give her some story other than with Will and Gwen. I like how they're trying to pair her up into a triangle. yeah right,we're really into that.My favorite story on the show right now is Katie and Brad but it's been drug out for too long now.I'm also really interested in Casey,I hope he gets a better story soon...and a girl.
