Members juniorz1 Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 Others with a lack of SB knowledge don't go outright saying that the show is 'horrible' when they've never really seen it. And "being born" and "watching a show or not" are pre-requisites for forming an opinion on it. That's just my personal opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DrewH Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 Haha, yeah I get that, but I'm still sticking by my opinion whether you think I have the "back-up" or not. To me, Santa Barbara is boooooorrrrinnng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 Cool. Whatever. Anyway, some more of my unpopular opinions: I have never been impressed with Lesli Kay very much as an actress. I never have liked B&B's Taylor and wished she stayed dead the FIRST time they killed her in '94. Eric Martsolf is better in the role of Ethan than Travis Schuldt was. Lauren Koslow is a one-note actress and Deborah Adair made a FAR better Kate. Roger Howarth makes for a good Paul Ryan. Though she's a fantastic actress, Heather Tom was just as miscast as Kelly Cramer as Tracy Melchior was. I like Bonnie and Patrick on DAYS. I enjoy(ed) Paul Satterfield as Spencer on OLTL- he's been one of the few bright spots for me. I don't think Renee Elise Goldsberry is a particularly talented actress. She's about on the same level as Shari Saum IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith, Tracey Thomson, Michael Conforti, Garin Wolf, David Goldschmid 2nd BEST PRODUCING TEAM Jill Farren Phelps, Mary O’Leary, Mercer Barrows, Michelle Henry, Deborah Genovese, Robert Guza Jr. BEST DIRECTING TEAM Craig McNamus, Owen Renfroe, Anthony Morina, Matthew Diamond, William Ludel, Scott McKinsey 2nd BEST SOAP ENSEMBLE: GH MORE UNPOPULAR GH OPINIONS GH helped out the genre in more ways than any other drama ever could: It became a cultural phenomenon Port Charles diluted the appeal of GH & downgraded its quality. PC was a HUGE mistake. I would love to see ABC & SOAPnet promote the hell out of GH; should air in primetime on ABC GH can average 7 million viewers per ep GH ranks 2nd when all viewers are counted (Live/Recorded/Out of home (dorms/office)/SOAPnet etc) B&B is NOT America’s 2nd most watched daytime drama) Gloria Monty/Douglas Marland/Pat Falken Smith saved GH from near cancellation Best Celebrity Appearance In Daytime History: Elizabeth Taylor, 1981 G. Monty could easily have been GH’s best EP, but her 2nd stint was very disappointing GH’s best EP: Wendy Riche GH’s best HW: Claire Labine Guza Jr. is a good HW, but far from great. His combined stints as HW are a solid B - It’s a good thing that C. Pratt Jr. is no longer co-HW J. F. Phelps is a good EP, but she could have been much better. She’s had her chance, now fire her. I still can’t believe that TPTB’s original plan was to turn Michael into a killer!!!!! They shouldn’t have named Skye’s child Lila Rae B. Frons/J.F.Phelps were not responsible for Anna Lee’s death as suggested by her son Should not have killed off: A. J. Quartermaine, Dr. Tony Jones & Stefan Cassadine Guza Jr./B. Frons/ J. F. Phelps don’t know enough about the show’s most recent history (1990-2000) Focus less attention on the ongoings of the mob & more on social issues I worry that Frons/J.F.Phelps will fire or place on recurring status more talented actors this year (L. Charleson? J. Zeman? J. J. York?) It was wrong to fire: John Ingle, Billy Warlock, Lesli Kay, Shaun Benson, Stuart Damon, Brad Maule, Stephen Nichols, Genie Francis Undeserved Daytime Emmys: Natalia Livingston (2005), Vanessa Marcil (2003) GH deserved all their Outstanding Drama Series awards Offer contracts to (Contracts should span at least 5 months): Finola Hughes, Tristan Rogers, Denise Alexander, Kristina Wagner, Rachel Ames, Shell Kepler, Vincent Irizarry (only if Y&R fires him, he should revive the role of Dr. D. Hayward) Tracey Thomson is their weakest script writer GH’s writing team should consist of at least 20 writers; with at least 8 script writers (Diversity can lead to better writing) GH’s M. V. Jean, M. S. Price & S. Wald are the best script writers on daytime dramas The Nurses Ball should return as a yearly event Beth Ehlers (Harley on GL) spent an hour with GH's casting director, Mark Teschner, in May 2006. She’d be a good addition to the cast I enjoy the GH/DAYS casting wars I want to see a casting war b/w the 2 best dramas: GH/Y&R The best Edward L. Quartermaine: John Ingle Faces Of The Heart by Dave Koz is daytime’s best ever theme song W. Ludel, S. McKinsey & O. Renfroe are their best directors R. Richards shouldn’t return cuz K. Storms is rocking as [!@#$%^&*]y, manipulative Maxie Episodes should be written by two-member teams like Y&R does with Bennett/Gottesfeld & Freiwald/Schreiber Jennifer Bransford was not Carly. She was Carl-Lee. Lacked the fine balance of a hard exterior & soft interior Sarah Brown, Tamara Braun & Carly Wright were/are phenomenal Carly’s I cringe whenever they say Cam instead of Cameron Webber Making Lucas Jones come out as a homosexual was HUGE mistake. Characters should never forget about their children/siblings (Sarah Webber, Thomas Hardy Sr., Lucas Jones) Incorporate more non-white actors/characters onto GH: Vanita Harbour, Senait Ashenafi, Simone Ravelle Hardy, Debbi Morgan Old School Revival: I want a Webber, Hardy, Ward & Scorpio family revival, even if its short term with the original or most recent actor who played them to return Moratoriums: on SORASing for at least 3 years; on producing new eps for 2 weeks; on sweeps stunts for Feb/May/Nov for at least 1 year; on females getting raped for at least 4 years; on "shocking" paternity revelations for at least 10 years (Carly/Bobbie; Alexis/Sam etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kylie Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 I thought Steve Burton was fabulous during the death of Sam's baby. He seemed to come to life, bring some real life to Jason when they were grieving Baby Lila. (Yes, that was her name....LOL) As for Jennifer Bransford, I despised her as Carly at first, but towards the end of her run, she was really coming into her own, and I started seeing her as Carly. I met her at FITS too, and she was just great. Gave me a whole new respect for her and her being Carly. Another unpopular opinion of mine: -Walt Wiley isn't a great actor, and I've never found Jack to be anything more then one note. -Alexa Havins is good, but if she and Babe left today I wouldn't miss either of them. -I don't care that Ethan died. I never liked Jame Scott, and I think he's very overated. -Oh, and I find nothing wrong or appauling with what was done to Greg Madden and how he died. I thought he didn't suffer enough. -Tad is my hero for offing the SOB, and I don't think anything less of him now then I did before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 DH ~ I love Susan. Teri Hatcher isn't horrible, and Susan still makes me laugh with her ditziness. I do hate mister charming British guy Ian, however. The only guy I liked Susan with was Dr. Ron. ~ I can not stand Orson. I absolutely hate the character and I hope he leaves at the end of the season. His mother can stay. ~ The Applewhites weren't the only problem with the second season. The stuff with Lynette and Tom was boring beyond belief. The whole show was, really. ~ Andrew isn't an asshat. ~ I love Austin and Julie together. ~ Mrs. Huber was awesome. As was Felicia, and I wish she'd come back. ~ Felicity Huffman tends to overact sometimes. But I love her anyway. ~ Eva Longoria is an incredible actress. ~ George wasn't that bad...okay, I'm not even going to lie. He fuckin sucked. ~ I miss Rex! And John! And Justin! ~ Betty Applewhite could have/should have stayed around. Her sons had to leave though. They were what was bringing their storyline down. Well, really, Matthew was great. I liked him with Danielle before he went all psychotic. ~ Not enough dramatic moments. ~ I don't miss Paul or Zach. ~ I sooooooo wanted Jessica Simpson to do a guest appearance! ~ Lynette and Tom's storylines can get annoying and boring. This whole pizzeria thing, for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members billyjill Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 I don't know if this is unpopular in all circles. Either way IA, but I will also say that I don't think anyone thinks they were masterpieces or anything, people who like it (I *think*) just appreciate the audacity and OTT quality. I love you.

Members 2shane8 Posted January 6, 2007 Members Share Posted January 6, 2007 Thank you!!!! I am 100% in agreement. I love Susan, and I love her antics! Whether it's spilling the strawberry shake onto comatose Jane or grabbing the megaphone and offering to be "the best hostage ever," she is absolutley entertaining. I also agree with you that Eva Longoria is a fine actress. My only unpopular opinions re: this series are that the Applewhite storyline was not that bad, and neither was Season 2 overall.

Members Brandeis Posted January 6, 2007 Members Share Posted January 6, 2007 Susan Flannery is a BIG LOUD HAM Most of the women on ATWT are, as a previous poster said, shrill and annoying.. or languid and annoying. esp. Martha Byrne and Maura West. The men are worse. No wonder Passionante is relying on the young'uns to carry the show. Kim Zimmer is a BIG LOUD HAM. Anthony Geary is a BIG LAZY HAM. Dan Gauthier was merely an OKAY fish in a sea that stunk of Michael Easton's overbearing inferiority. (Michael Easton made Dan Gauthier look good) Melissa Archer and Renee Elise Goldsberry made Heather Tom look better than she really was. I like Brad on Y&R.

Members xDaysAddict Posted January 6, 2007 Members Share Posted January 6, 2007 Days Abe is a horrible character and actor and I wish he would have been cut instead of lexie. Missy reeves- one of the best actreesses on the show. Jack and Jennifer are the best couple/supercouple on the show farah fath is good when mimi is supporting rule,the JERk mimi was horrible tho(writing and acting.she just isnt lead material IMO) Deidre Hall is overrated and a horrible actreess.she used to be good,now she's terrible. Still dont like the character of abby - didnt enjoy her since the 2003 "you killed Dadddddy!" recast. Kayla is boring. Lucas is a bore as well and they should give him a personality since he have none Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
