ATWT - SPOILERS FOR THE WEEK OF AUGUST 18thSPOILER SPACE You have GOT to be kidding....
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Brian Wheatley (played by Laurence Lau, who starts on the show Aug. 18th), who will be running the Luke Snyder Foundation, gets on Luke's bad side when he makes a homophobic comment. Meanwhile, the most boring love triangle ever continues as Ali and Aaron start planning their wedding (yes, they get engaged after Aaron saves Ali's life during the Dr. Decker storyline), but Ali is still drawn to Chris.

Hate to repeat myself, but...
I told you so back when the Dimwit first married Ameera that this show was heading down the proverbial toilet! Even you Anthony, admitted just how awful yesterday's show was. Horrendous writing and some of the worst scenes is pretty much what you expressed.
I really do believe that these brain-dead writers will eventually cause the demise of ATWT. It really doesn't matter if Loretta or the Dimwit are even on anymore with such stupid plots and amateurish writing.
And before anyone even asks, no I am not watching this dredge anymore. The only information that I get is from Anthony's spoiler posts and the YouTube clips. I have pretty much weaned myself off of this ridiculous Puke storyline. I do however, watch "FORBIDDEN LOVE" with Christian and Ollie religiously. That soap has some of the best writing, acting, and it has so much more class than ATWT. The Ollian storyline is way more believable than this ridiculous Puke farce.
It's only a matter of time until CBS pulls the plug on this disaster.
oh geez......
Full Name of Luke Snyder Foundation?
And here I was getting
Well.....
My first thought was that Lucinda would be dating this guy, but he was really a bigot and Luke doesn't want to tell her....
Except that wouldn't happen. Luke wouldn't tolerate someone's bigotry, especially an employee of his, nor would he want his grandmother dating him. The Luke we know (who is honest to a fault) would tell Lucinda immediately. Brian would be fired. End of story. So I think there's more it than it seems.
And I'm not sure that this guy is even a love interest for Lucinda so she may not even be a factor.
Even TV Guide's Michael Logan refers to Lucinda ......
Greg Nelson: "You are such a fag."
Luke: "What did you call me?"
G.N.: "This task is very challenging and you brought me here to get a job done. All this second guessing at this stage might be a bad sign, but it's been a long day and my calling you 'a nag' is uncalled for"
Luke: "A nag? Oh no problem...."
Greg Nelson woos Lucinda. Luke has his reservations, but since he is a doormat decides to keep an eye on the highly recommended business guru and in true Luke fashion would not want to cock-block his own grandmother without ample proof. I am seeing the guy trying to embezzle money and eagle-eyed Lucinda is made to look like a fool in business (AGAIN) and for letting down her guard against men. The dastardly guy eventually gets caught and Lucinda and Luke survive another day to show that older people and gays can stand up to mean oppressors and continue leading marginal lives.
The beat goes on for "old fashioned love stories" for Nuke..... My post reeks of such cynicism, but hearing this tidbit is infuriating. I would some much prefer that Luke and Noah got to play in the Memorial freak show, developed internet gambling/porn addictions, switched a baby a two, took some pills, got to shoot Paul, rather than serve as thse celebate, joy-free beings that seem to (at best) strive for Matt Fielding (token gay on Melrose Place) status.
A center for sick children? The question is will they have enough beds to help all the straight kids (including most of the Snyders) while they get ready for their next adventure while Mother Theresa and Ghandi bore one another silly?

Am I the only one who thinks
yes, to a certain extent...
...I agree. It's just that Aaron is so bland and boring, barely there/blend in kind of character he almost could look like anyone. I can't ever remember what he has said moments after he has said it. A real dud character. He could go away and I wouldn't notice for months. I feel sorry for the actor.
I say we take the warning labels off everything and let nature take it's course.
I feel sorry for me.... as Aaron only has chemistry with ......
The Chris character could also be let go as his current portrayer is hot, but it seems that the character is cursed as no actor has lasted very long in that role. One of the huge problems that casting people on this show keep missing the boat on is that any actor cast has to be able to succeed on his own and with others. Even a character that I could do with out, such as Liberty, is leaps ahead of Ali and especially Chris and Aaron, as she has been able to interact with her cousin/LOVER, her mom, Katie, and even props. Casey picked up his game within a week of being on the show and I would now say that he can play in the same league with every one of the finest actors on the show.
Part of this sameness that some see between Aaron and Chris, is what may have done new-Mike in too as TBTB did not resort to hair dye as they have with Ali to try to do something to shake up the blandness. I think that she's got to go too as well as Bonnie, Dallas, Janet, Sofie (that bitch just won't go away), and Meg. Paul needs to be recast. Bring back Ellie Snyder, Andy/John Dixon, a female Hughes (maybe Frannie), and some new blood that stands out from the crowd.
My quick/snarky Seattle send-off: Aaron also develops psychotic fever on after having touched Ali's "lucky bracelet" too many times. Now Aaron turns the tables and tries to choke Chris back and, with thrash metal playing in the background), they wind up having crazy man-2-man sex. "Consensual" as they are both jacked up on Dr. Death's Compound W. Aaron spills the beans by Ali what happened and tells her that he's so sad to have hurt her as this came out of nowhere. Cursory discussion about sexuality being fluid, but focus is on the betrayal not on sex. Bye to Oakdale, hello Seattle.

oh, Guillermo....
...your imagination knows no bounds. But *why* Seattle? (giggle)
I say we take the warning labels off everything and let nature take it's course.
Aaron's mom lives in Seattle....
...a few years ago, Aaron and Ali left Oakdale to live in Seattle, as Aaron's mother had cancer (she's now in remission).
Personally, I keep hoping against hope that TPTB bring back Eric William Morris as Matt--not only was he hot, he could literally act circles around most of the cast, and certainly was on par (I thought he was even better than) with the best of the cast.
Eric William Morris was the HOTTEST ever!
No longer than I have been watching ATWT, I too thought Eric William Morris who had a short, but noteworthy role as Matt was the hottest actor to ever appear in this dying soap. It just goes to show how stupid TPTB are in dropping one of the most likable actors to ever grace daytime TV. Instead they bring on no talent losers like Janet, Liberty, NuLily, and the forever "get on your last nerve" Sofie! I am even up to my nostrils with forever bitchin' Pubescent Parker. Enuff already!
The only way that I would resume watching this farce is if they would bring Eric back. Sorry, but even mouth watering Casey (Billy) isn't enough anymore for me to tune in. And don't even mention Loretta and the Dimwit. Hell no!
Seattle actually has relevance as that is where Aaron's mom
In case you are only a short-term ATWT sufferer :-), Aaron is the product of a one night stand between Holden (that little horn dog) and his brothers first wife Julie.
What's with the shock these days between Holden and Carly falling for one another as Jack is "only" a cousin. Julie was his sister in law. Just another day at the farm. But Holden did have a good excuse then as he was so wasted that he thought that Julie was Lily.
I have a feeling that the producers were thinking of getting rid of Aaron's portrayer a few months back as Julie was given yet another dire medical prognosis which sent him back to Seattle. But it was only for a day.
So my madness has some grounding as Ali also became a Seattle resident. She followed Aaron there before taking off to glamorous a career in independent porn.
