Gloria Fisher Abbott 'Part Deux' is Crap Thread

[EricaKane70]

This thread is hilarious.lol The only problem I have with chapman is when she makes those ogly eyes, that kinda scares me.

[Hartless]

God you're right...clutching her chest falling to the floor "I'm DYINNnnnggg Michael!!! Kevin!! I love youuuu!!" Eyes popping out...

It should be quick and painless.

ROTFLMAO!!!

We know how to have fun. And she makes it so easy. We oughta start a drinking game. LOL!

Gloria would have to have a closed casket funeral because she'd might frighten people as they come up to her coffin to pay their respects and those peepers pop out. Boinnggggg!!!

[EricaKane70]

Judith chapman and cameron mathison should have a contest to see who's eyes pop out farther, it would be hilarious. I swear they went to the same acting school, there motto was act with your eyes and nothing else.

^ {La Chapman} Kane don't let them get to you

[EricaKane70]

Well at least her eyes are hidden in that pic.

[Hartless]

Yeah it'd be so easy!

Whenever Gloria's eyes bulge, take a sip.

Whenever Gloria tries to do drama but ends up funny, take a big sip.

Whenever Chapman overacts and flails her arms and chews up scenery, take a chug.

Those things are damn scary.

I'm jumping on the bandwagon as I've just started watching regularly again.

I'd always thought Gloria was inoffensive enough as a background character.

Then I saw yesterday's episode. Judith Chapman was in the hospital scenes. She spoke. My mind was made up.

Welcome to the "Chapman Hater's Club."

Now here's your complimentary shot glass...

We would all be dead in no time!

God I hate this woman so much! I've tried and tried to take her seriously, love and understand her but it's not happening. Her reaction to this whole Tom/Lauren/Sheila drama has been hilarious and the only thing dragging the storyline down. WTF is she thinking half the time?!

I really wish Joan was still in the role, I'm sure she'd be more menacing and probably a serious suspect in Tom's murder. I also could see her and Ashley (or Sheila) making a KILLER team.

Playing Devil's advocate Judith was good as Ginny Blake on GH back in the day. I don't know if they told her to act like this on purpose or if shes puffin on whitneys pipe.

[Hartless]

I think she's just NOT good for Gloria. That's her problem, she can't grasp the role. She's so campy and annoying in the role. Gloria isn't a complex role, but I guess Chapman just cannot do comedy.

[KLN]

Gloria's not supposed to be a comedic role, is she?

[Hartless]

If you watched Joan Van Ark, she was funny and sassy and smart! She did comedy but in a subtle way, she just nailed Gloria. Joan Van Ark's Gloria seems much different than Chapman's, and yeah she did do comedy. When Gloria was first introduced she was a BAD mother, it wasn't surgarcoated, they didn't add in the stupid Tom storyline to gain sympathy for Gloria, she fessed up to how bad she actually was.

I don't know, perhaps it's a combination of both the writing (because the writing did change when Van Ark left) and the actress, but Gloria is IMO barely watchable.

Whenever she's on, it's like oil and vinegar. Everyone else is playing a very dramatic scene straight and then camera gets on her and she's all campy. You think you're watching a comedy routine. She just doesn't fit Y&R's usual tone. Although, I liked the Gloria and JoAnna stuff. But that was supposed to be camp and fun.

I think I'd get what others see in her if she'd play the role with more subtlety. She doesn't have to be manic 24/7. Even the most melo-dramtic person mellows out every once in a while.
