DAYS: Wow Kate has been on a lot

[Andrew]

I must say after being backburned and hardly have any storyline att all for months, Kate has been on almost every day in Nov, that is a change when Marlena has she been featured this month yet,?, whatever i have always been a more Kate fan than Marlena. ...............

[JackPeyton]

your right - and thats a sad sad thing. Marlena & Dee should be on much more.

cant wait for dec...

[DaytimeFan]

Well not to take away from Deidre, but LK is a wonderful actress who has always been an untapped resource on this show. I like them both and think that they should both have more screen time than they have had in the last few years.

[JackPeyton]

LK is a good actress, but shes far from a reason to tune in.

and the char of Kate has been so ruined. i dont even care what happens to her at this point.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Lauren Koslow has loads of screen presence, something that's not often found in daytime, this day and age. Kate has been a ruined character, but Koslow acts the hell out of any script she's dealt.

I've never been a huge fan of Deidre Hall or Marelana. To me, Hall is simply an average actress, who does her best work with great material. To me, she's never able to rise above crappy material and its shown over the past few years. This is just my opinion of course, I know some like to think of her as some immortal figure.

Change what you said Y&R about the differences in the two and you've got my view.

I find Kate to be a grating character, just everything. But god, I LOVED Deb Adair's Kate, even when I found her annoying. DA was just such an energy onscreen. And I used to enjoy Kate's friendship with Marlena before they had Kate trying to ruin both Marlena's daughters behind her back (Marlena still doesn't know about the death row thing).

[Y&RWorldTurner]

^Yeah, I've never gotten why Marlena is so civil towards Kate. The two should never appear to be anything close to friends. One thing with the writing for Marlena that I hate is that they don't appear to give her any real friends. Remember when Maggie and Laura were close friends with Marlena? What happened to that? Why wasn't Maggie ever there to comfort Marlena, when John was in his come earlier in the year? I know we saw her at John's funeral, but we haven't seen Marleana and Maggie interact as friends in years.

[JackPeyton]

i agree PS, under DA no matter how much i hated Kate i stillw anted to watch her. LK just.. doesnt make me even wanna watch,

[Pest Spray]

Eh, the best Mar friend ever (after her best best friend which is John) is still Eugene to me. No one compares.

I hate that Marlena's doesn't know like half of the crap she's done to Sami or to Belle. I mean, she wanted to go after Sami at the Lumi wedding and was stopped, and that was for one thing. Imagine if she knew it all?

And I do sort of feel bad for LK because she's stuck with one of the worst, most one dimensional and boring characters on TV. She never needs to do lines, she'll just repeat what she learned ten years ago, it's the same crap over and over.

[MikeGoldy]

Marlena and Kate should be bitter rivals. Although Marlena doesn't know everything, she knows enough about how Kate has treated Sami and Belle, to despise her. The only thing that allows me to excuse it, is to remember that Marlena was Kate's doctor all of those years ago, and maybe she knows enough about Kate's past history, that she can forgive it
