Thread: David Kreizman needs to go / Storyline discussions

^^^I agree that things have slowed down. They also seem to be moving past the episodic writing and things aren't tied up in a neat little bow by the end of the show. Things actually carry over to the next show! I'm seeing some people that got so used to the fast pace that they want things to speed up again. I think we've seen some real positive improvements from where things were a few months ago.

I just finished watching the episode. My vote remains unchanged. I thought it was handled well. This is an issue that many people are dealing with and it was nice to see them touch on it. I agree it doesn't need to be in every episode. At the same time I think people need to know they are not alone. Very well done.

There is nothing wrong with realism and doing it ever now and then, but I am scare because this is what P&G did to GL last year with the outdoor shots and the limited budget and I don't want to see that with ATWt because the show is doing really good, except for whining Meg.

^^As a 36+ year viewer of GL I understand where you are coming from but this 'tour' that Jack is doing doesn't even come close to what GL changed to as far as filming goes. That was a permanent fixture to save money - this 'tour' that Jack is doing is to save himself.

I agree WorldTurner..This summer the s/l were so fast you didn't know which end was up most of the time or why some characters were doing what they were doing...If you missed 1 episode then you were lost for a couple of days...Just look at Dr. Bob and Kim's s/l..They were done in 3 days when it should have been weeks..

I did not have a problem with it at all. I think it is essential to have some grounding in reality and sadly, hard times is the state of reality. I have often complained about unemployed people in soaps living well, it is refreshing to see a little reality thrown in from time to time.

DK can be a very good writer if Ellen Wheeler isn't telling him what to do, and so far I have no complaints with his work on ATWT.

I liked it, too. I wouldn't want to see it every day, though, but this was good for a very short story arc. I don't think Mark Collier (Mike) is back on contract, I think he was just brought in temporarily for the Jack story. I gotta admit, this has to be a first in soap history - a character getting a phone call from a collection agency! I thought the scenes were very realistic and well-written. Anna (Mike's wife) not wanting...

i want to see good SLs, i dont care what they are about, but they have to be interesting and compelling soaps are all about the story
