As the World Turns - NEWS ROOM

Posted by longviewer at Saturday, March 08 2008 03:09 AM

I HAVE WATCHED AS ATWT SINCE IT AIRED AND MARTHA HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF MY FAVORITES. I FEEL AS IF "MY SHOW" IS DECLINING RAPIDLY WITH SO MANY OF THE OLDER CAST LEAVING.
I HATE THE THOUGHTS OF TUNING IN AND NO LILY. SHE HAS DONE A WONDERFUL JOB AND IT WON'T EVER BE THE SAME. WISHES FOR THE BEST TO HER, BUT, I AM PRAYING SHE WILL HAVE A CHANGE OF HEART. PLEASE, PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO CHANGE HER MIND, WE DON'T NEED FOR RATINGS TO DROP.

Martha - you are a class act! I hated the way they've had your character behave over the last year, so I agree with you for wanting storyline approval. If they truly cared about Lily and her history, they would have given you, the person who knows her best, storyline approval. This shows the world that the money is just the money - you really love Lily and want her to shine as she always has.
I mean, the whole Dusty thing was totally wrong and pathetic - not Lily at all!!! I applaud you for the many wonderful years and performances you have dedicated to the show and for sticking to your guns. Who knows, if they ever come to their senses, maybe you'll be back. I know I for one will not watch anymore because the show is just terrible now. You were one of the only bright spots saving it. Time to "turn" the channel on ATWT!

She will be so missed. I love Martha as Lilly, i grew as a teenager watching Martha as lilly. To me she is lilly. I do wish her to best of everything but i cant help but be selfish and want her to stay. I know this is a soap but watching for so long, i feel that i a losing a friend. May all your dreams and wishes come true Martha.

One good thing is Trent Dawson has just signed a 3-year contract along with Michael Park and Maura West.

Martha, you have been such an integral part of ATWT for so long that your leaving is going to seem like a death in the family. You will be greatly missed. I hope in time that you will grace ATWT with a visit. Until then, good luck.

OhComeOn! I am 28 years old and I've been watching Martha (Lilly) since I was a little kid and my grandmother was sneaking me coffee. I don't even remember the other girls. The soaps are slowly but surely falling apart and I cannot stand it anymore. What next, the originally Dusty (Brian Bloom) will return in the new role of Craig Montgomery (who I am happy to see)? Maybe Martha is just tired, and I can see why. Look at the crap she has been enduring for the past few years. These later years have truly produced some weak butt story lines. I bet they are going to do something great and replace her with Carni Wilson. Oh Come On!
