GH: AMC FAVE Joins Cast
That's how I feel. As much as I wanted Serena on the canvas. We're lucky Hayley Erin or Kristen Alderson weren't Serena. She would have been Michael's five minute love interest. NO THANKS. She'd have been either killed under Phelps or written badly under Frank. It does irritate me we can't have Lucy's kid on the canvas but we have to spend years over Nina's daughter and we have Wallow that they've tried to make happen. We need 'fresh blood' but it irritates me when soaps try so hard to make unconnected characters work and then toss out connections for them in a last ditch effort when that person should have just been an off-spring of a legacy character instead.

GH: AMC FAVE Joins Cast
I'm good with this. I'd rather meet Liz's mother but I'll take it. I find it hard to care though with the cast so bloated and the writing so MEH

Another World Discussion Thread
I can see what you mean. IIRC, and I may not, I feel like Jensen didn't want to stick around. And Oakdale didn't really need Vicky, I suppose. I can see how they ultimately came to the decision. And like @victoria foxton said, Jensen was making appearances (as ghost Vicky) in 2001 when she landed the gig on GH. I'm guessing if Jensen wanted to, and ATWT wanted her, they could have resurrected Vicky but they ended up offing Jake so it didn't really matter. Kind of a shame though after what their characters meant to AW.

Another World Discussion Thread
I agree. I'm guessing it's likely because Jensen as an actress was kinda disposable in the role, it was easy to do. If they had like, Anne Heche or even Ellen Wheeler in that role I bet Vicky wouldn't have died, LOL. I said it before, I always thought Kelley Menighan would have been an interesting Vicky recast. But Jensen, when they styled her right and wrote her as Vicky, she kinda worked in the role (you can see they made an effort early on but then gave up). I can see why they picked her. But she's so bland. Then they killed off Jake. Issues with Eplin aside, I thought Jake fit in fairly well. And I did like him with Molly.

I loved Ming-Na as Lien. Kavovit as Paul. Smith as Emily. So good. Love them. I'm so happy Alan got them onto a chat. It was such a loss to the show, losing Kavovit and DeFreitas. Especially when we ended up stuck with the likes of Roger Howarth for years. Sigh. Sad thing is, they found a great Paul in Scott Holroyd but we couldn't have nice things. Wouldn't Kelley Menighan have been a better choice for Vicky on Another World? Her bone structure and facial features resembles Anne Heche. Just saying. I think ONE OF the downfalls of soaps has been them dumping good actors for "names" from other soaps. JMO.

Dancing with the Stars: Discussion Thread
I'm still salty they dumped Tom and Erin. Nothing against Tyra but no thanks lol. I'll check it out of course. I agree I do wish Baskin hadn't been rewarded with a spot on the show but they want eyes and ratings so ... It's an interesting cast. Feels fresher and more pop culture current, sort of. Still, supposedly, Tyra hasn't been able to deliver on her promise of 'big star names'.

GH: AMC FAVE Joins Cast
Wow!! Interesting. Love her, but I'd be slightly more excited if we had better writing and a less bloated cast ...

Netflix: One Day at a Time
I'm excited to see her on DWTS. The dance show hasn't held my interest for quite a few years now and especially now that Bergeron was shown the door. Great publicity for her. I love how she's game to do just about anything, lol. I'm also happy to see the show airing on CBS (they did say it would anyway, as part of the deal) I enjoyed watching some of the ODAT original cast reunion too. Michael Lembeck still looks good. lol. And Valerie hasn't 'moved on'. She's in there and seems to be having a ball. I believe she was also asked somewhere else about the current ODAT and basically why she hasn't appeared (i was re-reading this thread and saw back in 2017/2018 I wondered why she hadn't even mentioned the new show at all).

Interesting. Yeah, I just assumed because she was so talented and had other work she jumped ship like most younger actors do. Agreed, tells you how much we know lol. But after hearing about certain actresses being blacklisted and for years wondering why they disappeared ... I guess we should never assume anymore, lol. I can see that they thought she was too young but sit her down and tell her! lol I've never understood why soaps can't sit the actors down and let them go? DAYS does this [!@#$%^&*] STILL today. It's horrible and a sign of horrible leadership. Agreed that it's probably why they collapsed. And why certain shows struggle and remain on life support after destructive EPs and HW's get done with them.
