DAYS/GH: I miss Kirsten Storms...


Recommended Posts

Rionspassions, reading your comments lately reminded me of a poster that I haven't seen in a while. Have you ever heard of a poster by the name of AlisterCraneJr. I think that was the poster's name. He really liked JER's writing and IIRC liked KS a lot too. But it's been a while since I've seen the poster on various message boards....

Anyway, I really admire how you stick to your guns and post messages even when they're not all that popular.

As for your admiration of Kirsten Storms, you're certainly not alone. I know there are some Shelle fans who call Martha M and Brandon B fauxShelle and will never accept the recasts. I guess everyone has different styles of performance that they like. I prefer Martha Madison and don't like KS on either Days or GH. So I don't miss KS at all. But she must have meant a great deal to you as Belle, given that she's been off the show for almost 3 years now...

Kirsten was ok for a teenage Belle but for Belle with a child? No. Plus, the fact that she has been aged.

Kirsten was never a good actress but her subpar acting was enough to get by as a teenage character, much like Jason Cook's was. That could never work now. Martha rocks and is a emmy-caliber actress. Brandon is awesome too. They have made Shelle into a viable and rootable couple and are perfect for the grown up, mature Shelle.

Kirsten even sucks at GH and she is supposed to be playing a adult role there. I still hate the fact RR lost HER role for Storms. It's disgusting. The best decision Corday ever made was not letting Storms return.

Rahmer and Storms were pretty interchangable. Both looked pretty, but god help us all when their mouths opened.

I still think it's rather funny how Days was at the time searching for something identical to Storms to replace Belle with, and picked Rahmer. Shows what Days really thought Storms was worth.

What's amazing to me is that they actually picked Charity Rahmer over Martha Madison in the first place. I mean, who in their right mind would honestly think that Charity was more fit for the role and the more talented actress? Someone in the casting office must've been smoking some good sh!t that day.

I'm glad that K. Storms is no longer on DAYS & that she's on GH. She plays a MUCH better Maxie Jones than her portraying Belle Black. She's very lucky that she escaped the wrath of James E. Reilly & Ken Corday! LOL

Frons, Guza & company are finally utilizing Storms after her being wasted with Officer Jesse & taking a back seat to her on-way-too-much annoying sister, Georgie. Since Jesse's death in May 2006, Storms' acting has improved. Storms is not a great actress, but she's doing very well with the material she's given in the Maxie/Lucky/Elizabeth SL. I can't wait to see where this SL will lead to next! There's so much potential! There's even been mentions of Felicia Scorpio & Frisco Jones lately. Will it turn into "something"? I hope so!

She has a chance to be nominated for a 2007 Younger Actress Daytime Emmy Award, but even if she's nominated, Storms has NO chance of winning this year. (I should clarify my statement: Storms DOES have a chance of winning this year if she's nominated. Never forget Natalia Linvingston in 2005. NEVER! LOL!)

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
