Additional Comments: How is it that so many characters can afford to live in hotels? Katie & Brad, Chris, Allison, and on and on. Guiding Light has most of their characters living at the Beacon. Y & R has them living at the "Club". I know they have to have reasons for characters to bump into each other, but honestly, it's uanffordable except for the very rich.

here's an idea...why not go buy a house or rent an apartment? especially now that you have a child???? brad and katie and baby girl liberty living in a hotel is driving me crazy! it's ok for singles or couples, but now that they have a daughter, the show should really invest in another set for pete's sake! c'mon writers, you can do better than that. i know budgets are tight, but geez, it's a little unrealistic and annoying. honestly, what can one more set cost?

What could be dumber than getting a teen her own hotel room? I can't believe Brad didn't deposit her into the wholesome environment at the farm.

On ATWT atleast the people living in the Lakeview seem to have means: Katie and Brad are TV stars, Barbara is a sucessfull fashion designer, Chris is a doctor. Supposedly, Mike's living expeses are being covered by his employer. I don't think Allison lives at the Lakeview. It seems like the rich folk all live at the hotel while the middle class folk all congregate at the Snyder guest-house- except for Lily who should have quite a bank balance by now, co-owing a hotel with so many permenant guests.

I don't think so Cloey! I think that in Oakdale and Springfield that people only live in hotels, and there are lots of them and they really have price wars to get all the business! I'll bet it's cheaper for one month at the Beacon than it is for 2 days at the Wagon Wheel!!!
