As the World Turns - MESSAGE BOARDS

I'm so sick of these story lines that will just END like nothing ever happened! Carly & Holden---He tells Carly he'll leave his wife and in the same day tells Lily he wants to make things work ? After all this him and Carly are done. Alison & Chris what the heck!

I agree. I know that the writers in the past few years have been criticized for dragging out a story line, but they need to find a happy medium between warp speed and slower than dirt.

I had to LOL on yesterday's episode with Meg fresh out of major abd surgery, sever bloodloss, only to be laying in the bed, with full makeup on, smiling, non the worse for wear apparently withing a couple of hrs of being shot! Come on writers.
Gagal

Yes, it seems to me maybe they are rushing things to get to the storyline they are planning for sweeps?

I so agree with all the comments. I remember when I first started watching soaps as a teenager, many years ago, that if you missed a few episodes you could still pick up the story and understand it when you came back to the show. Not any more. I feel like if I miss even part of a show, that I may have missed some crucial twist or explanation.

But then, they don't always provide explanations for many things that happen, either. For example, I still wonder why Elroy suddenly decided to steal manuscripts, why everyone thinks Noah's father is dead when he must have been an excellent swimmer, and so many other things.

And the "transporter effect" really bugs me. It is almost disorienting at times, making it hard to follow any kind of timeline.

But the one thing that bothers me the most is the way they build up a good story line and then just let the resolution fizzle out. They've done that so often lately, and it is really disappointing when that happens.

Oh well, I still love the show and I will keep watching and hope that they will fix these annoying problems.
