ALL: Unpopular opinions

[DrewH]

I think GL is much more better than ATWT right now.

[Brandeis]

Me too, but I would still be really pissed off if she got the boot from One Life. I like her and understand her place as a vet, I just don't ADORE her.

Her fangurls can be mean as hell if you're not one to kiss her feet.

AMC

-For the most part of her writing tenures on AMC I have enjoyed Megan McTavish....

-In essence I thought giving Erica Kane a son was a good decision, just poorly executed (should have been Kendall's twin)

-Alicia Minshew is now Kendall Hart to me

-I thought Michael B. Jordon (IReggie) was a terrible actor and was relieved to see him gone from the cast

-Julia Barr is more talented then Susan Lucci

-I thought Lianca sucked and had no chemistry. Still respect what it did for daytime though

-I loved Bianca and Maggie together

-I love Zarf/Zoe

-I love Babe

[Brandeis]

Is GL really that good? I'd watch if I wasn't so tired of REVA.

Is that an unpopular opinion?

[KLN]

Same here. I respect any actress who's stay with daytime long enough to be considered a veteran. I don't have to be a fan to respect their place in the industry and on the daytime food chain. Just like La Looch. I respect Susan's place in daytime, but I can't STAND her acting. The hair toss, bobbing her head everytime she talks, and just flat out not talking like any human being really talks. It's fun to watch, for "poke fun" reasons, but it's certainly not award-worthy, IMO.

Personally, I prefer Slezak when she's playing an alter, LoL.

[DruRocks]

I like Slezak. Is she over appreciated? Yes. Does she deserve every single emmy? Maybe. I personally don't know which tapes were submitted, so I can't make a real stong arguement. Atleast with Slezak I can see more range and vulnerability in her performances, compared to say Flannery, who is also highly overappreciated, as I stated in above post.

[KLN]

Oh yes. She was only ever good on Days as Laura Horton.

KIDDING!

I do wish she'd put the wig back on, though. Yipes.

[Brandeis]

JEAN RANDOLPH! yes! Let Viki fragment out into little pieces again. I'm so tired of Niki but I prefer her to Viki.

I kind of wish this had been the case with Marlena Evans. That way it could be revisited within a semi natural storyline. I ADORE Dee. She's my older woman fantasy. Hey, she was ELECTRA WOMAN!

I'd be her DYNA GIRL.

But Deidre Hall has been phoning it in for years too. She's a goddess who should have a few golden ladies on her mantle by now , instead it's like she's given up.

[KLN]

Yeah, Deidre's awesome. I don't know what it is with her lately, though. She's not bad, she's just not great. It's like she took JER's hammy material and just soaked it all in.

I love her in these old clips, though (the rape).

[Brandeis]

Women don't even fight anymore. That was AWESOME! Thanks Kenny. I know I probably saw it but was too young to remember it in detail. No doubt SLEZAK got the EMMY that year too. *rolls eyes*

No slighting Slezak, she's awesome too, just that her EMMY legacy seems greedy when other winners have disqualified themselves (men only I think, too much to expect from us chicks)

Thanks again. loved (and hated) those clips

Deidre Hall's best acting ever was in the late 70's and early 80's. She played her rape storyline with some of the best acting ever in daytime. And when little DJ died of SIDS man was she good. There was no better actress in daytime at the time.

[KLN]

Actually, Deidre said in an interview not too long ago that she didn't like her work during the DJ/SIDS story. She said she wasn't developed enough as an actress to handle a story like that.

[SteveFrame]

I read that but she pulled it off. She was fantastic.

And I will never forget her on the stand and Don Craig was cross examining her and she revealed that Kellum Chandler raped her. ONe of the best scenes ever in daytime.

[applcin]

Okay, I have another one....am I the only one who looks at OLTL's Jessica and thinks blow-up doll? It's nothing to do with BW's acting or appearance. It's the character. All she does is react to various men in her life as they want to control her, do her, lust after her, attack her, come on to her, rescue her, protect her, etc. For a chick who's had multiple identities, she doesn't seem to have even one. It's always about what men want from her or what she wants (or says she does) from them. Geez, her kid has a nanny so get a job.
