Darn

I've seen Chris McKenna (ex-Joey Buchana, OLTL) in two commercials recently, one where he played dad to a teenage girl who wanted to go to a Katy Perry concert and another where he woke up in bed (no idea what this commercial was about).

Stacy Haiduk (ex-Patty, et al, The Young and the Restless) was on the last two episodes of True Blood, completely nude. Full frontal. Check it out if you're into that stuff.

I think the actress playing Katherine is perfectly fine. And Peter Parros is a better actor than OLTL or ATWT ever gave him credit for. And you know, not every soap can be full of Andrew Trischitta's.

I don't see the huge problem everyone has with Veronica. She's not a great actress (though really, look at her material) but she's also not distractingly bad like Wyatt or the Cryer daughter.

She could be given more depth, it's only episode 4. I think it'd be a waste of time and a waste of a talented actor to write her off. I'm just glad that a soap has a horrible character and we're MEANT to see them as a horrible person as well. Not a Victor Newman or Todd Manning where they're repugnant but presented as the hero. Candace is the lead but without question a horrific person.

I don't understand why you'd want the most interesting character on the show dead? lol. I laugh because my boyfriend said the same thing and it's just WEIRD. The show would be nothing without her.

There was none! Veronica still doesn't know jack. It was stupid and pointless and looooong. There are ways to write a scene where neither party learns new information and still have it be interesting but they have not mastered that. At all. I REALLY hope TP isn't writing this whole show by himself.

I know this is a double post but you sound like the show, repetitive! LOL I also hate how static the scenes are. The editing in every scene cuts constantly from one character to the other, they hardly ever share a shot. It's like the actors aren't even in the same room. I could totally write for this show. Katherine: I don't want him to be governor. Veronica: Why not? K: No reason. V: There's a reason. K: No there isn't. V: Yes there is. K: No. V: Yes. K: Nooooo. V: Yeeees. K: No! V: Why not? K: No reason.

Yes. These overly long scenes where they just repeat their point a million times are wearing me out. Tika is awesome, Candace IS a sociopath but I don't think I can keep watching. Plus all of the scenes are bathed in dark brown. You have a show full of black people, making every set mahogany is a mistake.

The only thing I'm addicted to is your White Devil taunts.

Not yet. Most of the scenes have been a lot of talking. A LOT of going on and on and ON. And some of the actors, like the white daughter, are laughably bad. Really awful.

Who said that? LOL The problem with this show that I'm seeing is that the scenes don't come to their natural conclusion. So characters are stuck making a point that over and over again for no reason. Like that scene with Peter Parros and the cop, it didn't need to be that long or that repetitive. And how many times can Wyatt's parents tell him he's a useless addict? Or chastise his sponsor (or whatever) for not paying attention to him? It's operating like a daytime soap when it's not. The show is on weekly, we don't need to be told the same thing so many times. I still think Candace and Hannah are the best of the lot. Good actors, characters with a lot of potential (though that scene with Hannah and her son in the last episode was TORTURE, why were there such long pauses between each line of their dialogue? And again it was repetitive.). Also this show needs to work on crafting cliffhangers. Either they're not trying or they're duds.

I think Katherine is biracial. The actress has that look anyway. No, Savannah.

Tyler Perry hasn't shied away from calling this a soap, he's compared it to Dynasty, Dallas and Knots Landing (and the show is clearly influenced by Y&R, the dark wood walls, come on!). And this show is closer to classic soap than the stuff AMC and OLTL were rebooted as (I don't know exactly what they're going for and frankly, neither do they fully). Hannah and Candace are the lynchpin of this show. Their scenes offered a dynamic we haven't seen on daytime in years. And Tika Sumpter OWNED every minute of it. The dialogue wasn't perfect but I really felt like I was watching a mother and daughter fight. And I think it's pretty clear that Hannah isn't perfect, she ignorantly assumed Veronica's husband was white, she isn't shy about preferring once child over the other and treats her daughter like she's not worth the air in her lungs. I think it could grow to be fascinating, JUST so long as the lines stay not so obviously drawn.

No, the Bold and the Beautiful is a parody of a soap.

Now that looks exciting! I love that Tika seems to be the center of the drama. I know people bitch about Tyler Perry but that looks really good.

I think Tamara is surprisingly good for a "temp" recast in her very first scene. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0BX88HVZqM

Wasn't she also considered for the role of Victoria on Y&R? I think she would have been MUCH better than Amelia Heinle. Tika Sumpter on set of that Tyler Perry show (produced for OWN, which is why Oprah is there).

Can't wait to see Tika fall in love with a light skin man while running away from her dark-skinned husband! I kid, I'm happy for her. She's a gorgeous woman and was fantastic in Sparkle. I'm guessing this is the Tyler Perry project Victoria Rowell says she interviewed for in the latest SOD. I wonder why she didn't get it, maybe she's up for something else. I'd think Tyler would want someone with a rather vocal built in fanbase (though admittedly I found VR surprisingly bad in the episodes of Noah's Arc she was in but Noah's Arc was a pretty bad, if enjoyable, show).

WHO is going to pay 135 dollars to sit with RPG? You can get the clap for free. At least some of it is going to charity.

Thanks, Toups and Turner.

Does Y&R still play the music used in this scene? And at the end of this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfLCxgU8iGc Or this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rL5znQMdG0 BTW I remember these episodes so distinctly, I honestly could not wait for the next day's show.

I wonder how these middle of the road actors feel about forever being bothered by Soaps in Depth or SOD about whatever they're doing that week?

Skye even being considered a Quartermaine makes my skin crawl. Robin Christopher has so many affectations as an actress and Skye is so utterly useless as a character. Can't stand her.

I still maintain they cast her exactly because she was so awful. That way the audience would accept ANYONE who came after her.
