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

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.

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.

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.

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).

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

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. :rolleyes:

    • 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.
