ATWT: What are your thoughts on Cleo


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Someone (the writers, producers, actor - someone) made a big mistake in that they made Cleo's idiosyncrasies difficult to watch. The way her teeth make her sound, the way she constantly blinks...these are major distractions that have turned me off to the character, even before I really got to know her. If she was just the whiny, goofy, stupid girl without the distractions, it's possible I'd tolerate her for more than 2 seconds. As it is, if I had the choice between watching a blank screen or watching her, I'd choose the blank screen. And Gwen bores me. She used to be a fighter and now she's this weak, ingenue...except she doesn't do that well. In the same way I'd rather see tough Carly than sweet Carly, I don't care to see poor Gwen the victim anymore.

I couldn't disagree more! I think Jenn has the chops to pull this off for sure. I think she's doing an excellent job, better IMO than Martha did as Rose. Rose I just couldn't stand and thought Martha's acting as Rose was AWFUL *shudders*

What sucked was that Lily was watered down A LOT and started dressing granny-ish so Rose would seem even more colorful and outrageous.

Back on topic, the story sucks. I've never been impressed by JL in the first place, so it's no news to me that she isn't pulling it off. And I hate that they're ripping off Susan Banks... give her a more creative look.

The Gwen/Cleo overexposure is one of the big reasons why I have yet to give ATWT an A-rating again.

I totally agree with everyone who says that JL doesn't have the chops to pull it off. Gwen has got to be one of the most monotonous characters ever...I'm sure the writing contributes to that along with JL's monotonous delivery. Meanwhile, Cleo is as annoying as Gwen is boring. The excessive blinking and awkward mouth movements she does are painful to watch. And while JL uses a different voice for Cleo, she's still delivering her lines in a monotonous, one-note pitch voice. Ughh!

    • Christian Streaty wrote her second freelance script today on Days. Surprised they gave the first funeral episode to a newbie.  
    • 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 the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • 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!
