Amelia is mediocre. She's not bad, I'm sure she shows up to work on time, knows her lines and hits her marks but she brings nothing to the role and puts zero behind her line readings. As far as I'm concerned she's a placeholder.

I'm not a fan of her as Victoria. She's not a bad actress, she's just not right for the role.

She just has this drowsy, yawny "I'm sleeping through my scenes" feel to her acting. Her voice always sounds as if she's just woken up.

Amelia is a decent actress and I like and respect her. But she is not and I repeat, IS NOT Victoria Newman. She just is not right for this powerhouse role.

I don't blame Amelia entirely for bland, boring Faux Viki... look no further than Lynn Marie Latham for the other half of the blame.

While I like Amelia in some aspect, I don't think she's the strong Victoria that we are so used to seeing. They seemed to have dumbed Victoria down in so many ways (the fact that Brad is screwing around with yet another skirt and she seems oblivious half the time). There are times when I am watching the show when she is on, and I'm like, Victoria wound NOT be accepting all that crap.

Question for any of you since this is a thread asking about Victoria. Do any of you think that if Heather Tom were still in the role would they have done the following:

Had her married to Brad?

Had her kind of flirting with Jack upon her return from Paris?

Had acknowledged Neil as her friend (since they were at one time engaged)?

I personally think this:

They may have had her married to Brad, but she would have dropped kicked him the minute she had an inkling that he was sniffing around Sharon

I don't think she would have been playing up to Jack so much; she may have looked more toward him as a 'father figure' due to how her father acts towards her at times.

I think that if Heather Tom were in the role, they would have had Neil/Victoria acknowledge the friendship they once had; she would have most likely been by his side after learning Dru's 'demise'.

    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna?

    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!
