As the World Turns Preview: Alison in Danger

The election battle between Luke (Van Hansis) and his former crush Kevin (Karl Girolamo) takes a dark path on Wednesday's episode of As the World Turns. Kevin's campaign team has kidnapped Alison (Marnie Schulenberg), without Kevin's knowledge, after they found out that she was a spy sent by Luke's campaign manager Casey (Billy Magnussen). In the previews at the end of the show we saw that Alison ends up in Old Town in her underwear.

Was it really necessary to humiliate yet another female character? Aren't women 18-49 the target audience? I can't believe women (or anyone) find it entertaining to keep watching all these women getting humiliated.

But apart from this latest twist, I'm really enjoying this storyline. It's so great to see the younger group of Luke, Noah (Jake Silbermann), Casey and Alison interacting with each other in this story. Like they actually live in the same town and know each other!

Do these writers even consult with college kids??? Why can't they just tell a story about a gay couple at a school in the Midwest having to deal with asshat frat boys, dorm life, being attracted to other guys, etc. All they know how to do is resort to b.s. kidnappings and asinine storyline additions like killjoy Alison. Wasn't she already successfully watering down Chris and Aaron? Now we have to endure her becoming central to Nuke.

I like that Alison was pulled into more her age group of people but I agree why do they have to have something happen to her like that. But I guess they are going to use this to pull her and Casey togather. If that happens she can share yet another TOY with her sister/mom.

Ugh... those scenes today were awful. They made me uncomfortable when I was watching them.

Even though the set up was just awful I enjoyed the performances today. Billy and Marnie were great and anytime Ellen & Scott are on my screen it's wonderful.
