For the life of me I don't get why this show wastes the talent of this actress. She was wonderful in the scenes with DG today. Performances like the ones between K/K today are the reason I watch this show. FV is an idiot.

Glad to see this thread at the top again. Although there hasn't been much to talk about with Heather these days. :angry: At least she got some airtime today and both her and DG were great as always.

I love HT's honesty!

I don't know how she and Dan stomach what they are given at the present. But HT gets my respect.

Stunning work from HT today. Possibly her best performance on OLTL next to the day Kelly begged Paul to get her a child.

OLTL haters should try to catch today's eppy on SoapNet just to watch HT's work. Riveting.

I feel so bad for Kelly what a mess things have become for her. She's a survivor. Heather has really done some great stuff this sweeps, she'll have some good stuff come emmy time.

i love this woman - she got me to tune back into OLTL when she came along and shes the only reason im ever addicted to B&B anymore. its to bad thats the donna show, it really should be the katie show, IMHO.

HT is so great. i just watched the scene where Victoria slaps victor. HT was so chilling.

She was, but I think the same.

I think those are both good examples.
I do believe JB was popular as Vicky. Although I don't know if she got really lucky or was actually good. Her role as Melissa on GH and her off screen antics make me think it was the former.

Maybe the three key Margo Hugheses on ATWT? There was a fourth like Bransford who didn't go over well, but the others were very distinctive and to my understanding popular.
Vicky Hudson on AW might be the same, though I have never cared much for Jensen Buchanan lol.

GH: November 2025 Discussion Thread

I thought the scenes between Britt and Jason were well done, so I'll give KT props for that at least. I agree it felt like she was asking too much of him. It's unrealistic to think Jason, of all people, would be 100% committed to anyone at this point and he actually shouldn't have to be when he's just offering help? Britt also has family that would be happy to help her, so it's not as if she's all alone in the world.
The whole Dalton murder and Britt/Sidwell connection is fine I suppose, but it feels like the show just scrapped Emma's only story. All the months she spent trying to get in good with Dalton yet she never cracked the case and now he's dead.

Your daily (or nightly) thought

That's great that you've found something to enjoy. I remember my first telenovela as a child - Rosalinda. I was obsessed. I was sooo little, practically a baby, but remember re-enacting scenes from the show, fake falling down the stairs like Rosalinda and fake-getting run by car like she was. I would recreate these hyper dramatic moments all day long. My father cringing every time he sees me. 😄

Cherie Jimenez as Gabi on Days. I am not sure if Camila Banus was ever super popular, but she led storyline and was on the show for years.
Not to veer off topic, but I am also quite fascinated by the Carly situation on GH. I know TB wasn't immediately accepted, while Laura was due to the Bransford situation, but it has to be rare to have such longevity and success with three separate actors in the role. Are there other roles/actors that have achieved that?

That was a messy story. I'm still waiting for Krista to write her tell all book. 😄

Thank you for reminding me! I think I know which ones you are referring to. It's just so hard to follow what is up and what gets taken down from YouTube. I think they've been cleaning a lot of channels due to this new streaming thing.
BTW, I was just watching again and I guess Susan Lucci was on hiatus, because Erica is nowhere to be seen. They left us on a cliffhanger and now I watch every episode expecting to see what happened with her and the clown. Manipulative writing.

D'oh! That makes sense. In that case, Jill Larson (AMC) as Opal. She had the additional advantage of the character being offscreen for a half-decade.
