Hogan/Marland

Just because I say I like the story how is that disrespecting your opinions - it's not.

I like Kimberlin Brown - still do. But I like this story too. You are right you are entitled to your opinions. And I and others are entitled to ours.

I love the story so far, and I love Michelle Stafford in it.

Just because Kimberlin is not there I am not going to condemn the story from the get go.

I was Hunt Block's biggest fan as Craig on ATWT, but I didn't prejudge Jeffrey Meek either and now I love Craig again and love Meek in the role.

I never thought I would like anyone other than Brian Bloom as Dusty, but I actually like Grayson McCouch. I liked him a lot better when Hogan was writing him. But even now I still love McCouch even though I miss Brian Bloom.

All that I or anyone else that likes the story asks is to allow us to enjoy it. We are giving it a chance. Sorry but right now I love Y&R the whole show, and think it is the best thing in daytime, but again that is just my opinion. The main thing I like about it is that Latham is taking chances that the other soaps are not taking. She is like many of the great dayimte writers and producers of the past who took chances.

I specifically am referring to Harding Lemay. He went against the grain many times and didn't play it safe. And he gave us the some stinkers but some real big winners too.

Oh my God, please don't drag me into this! LoL

I've already said, it's a MISTAKE to create "Pheila." It's camp, totally unbelievable, and doesn't make sense. Why would she choose Phyllis, anyway? She would've chosen Lauren. This isn't up to regular Y&R standards.

However, that being said, Michelle Stafford IS doing a terrific job. No, she doesn't make a better Sheila than Kimberlin Brown. The writing for this whole thing is campy and contrived and the whole basis of it doesn't make sense. But I CAN appreciate that Michelle IS giving it her all. The writing blows -- Michelle doesn't. Kimberlin should be there instead, but only with a story worthy of her talents. Really, I mean that.

Please don't kill me.

Michelle Stafford is a pill these days. Her on screen presence has diminshed and I do not see the nuance in her Shiela portrayal. I'm simply bored. She's simply recreating the icy Phyllis who blew into town and now claps her hand as if she's really happy and wants to show it.

The story sucks and the delivery isn't convincing. That's my opinon; feel free to disagree.

I'm seriously cracking the fluck up over here. When I left, this post had 3 responds. Now, it has 5 pages :lol:

Place me on team Kimberlin :D

To quote the fine ass Halle Berry as Storm, X-Men, "There's a war coming. Are you sure you're on the right side?"

    • 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.
