My reactions to the cast interviews...

Sheila has a much younger personality than she looks. She reminds me of a reformed "Rock of Love" girl, LoL. Very laid back, humorous and likable. Being a mother is very important to her. She thinks she'll be labeled as the "single mom cougar." I thought she would be a total bitch when I saw her picture... glad to see she's got an enjoyable personality. She has an interesting past, too. :)

Sharon seems very average to me. A cheerleader type, but not a complete airhead. There's some potential that she could tap into... she could be the dramatic type if she's put into a situation with someone she doesn't like. Let's hope she hates her 'soulmate,' LoL.

Ryan... meh. Your average Big Brother 'dude.' Reminds me of Mike (BB8) and Hardy (BB2).

Parker seems nice, and unintentionally charming. With the big fro, I had an impression that he would be more of an in-your-face personality, but he actually seems pretty reserved, if not a little shy. Very clean guy, doesn't it when people use pee on the toilet and don't wash their hands after using the bathroom, etc. I think he'll go early. His personality isn't strong enough.

Neil reminds me of a less flambuoyant Bobby Trendy, LoL. He definitely has a gay voice. Not so much a lisp, but definitely homo sounding, LoL. It could get annoying. He's like the fourth person in a row that I've heard talking about their pet peeve of nasty/unclean people. I don't think he seems as self-obsessed as he did in his MySpace pictures. He could be really nice or he could be a giant ass. It's hard to tell...

Natalie is less nuts than I thought she would be, LoL. She's very body conscious, I think. Loves prancing around in a bikini. Very energetic and talkative. She's a huge Big Brother fan and can't believe she's actually on the show. Damn, she never shuts her mouth, LoL. She'll get very annoying on the feeds. She just goes and goes and goes...

Matt has a very thick accent. Boston accent, I think? I'm not sure. He comes across as a ladies man, although he says that most of his ex-girlfriends hate him. Afraid his family will see him having sex on the live feeds. Probably will be very horny and looking to get laid.

Allison seems stuck on herself. Very manipulative and scheming. I think she'll be very two-faced.

Joshuah is very energetic. Lots of manipulative potential. He says he plans to stab people in the back. He says that he can verbally abuse people very strongly and make you "feel like a piece of [!@#$%^&*]." He's the leader of situations, always in control. Ooh, he wants to be a soap actor! He says that he watches "The Young & The Restless" and "The Bold & The Beautiful" religiously and wants to meet Brooke Logan more than anything in the world. LoL! He says he doesn't know any other woman who's slept through an entire family like her. Victor Newman is his hero. Wow, he's a BIG soap fan! I love it, considering that I'm a soap freak, myself.

Jen is the girl next door. Very talkative, but her personality is pretty average, I think. She expects to get emotional and cry once in a while. Meh.

James is exactly as I thought he would be. He seems crazy and outgoing at times, and then very serious and intelligent at the same time. He says he's in this for the experience of meeting different people moreso than he's in it for the money. He thinks he'll get along with everyone but he expects it to be alot like highschool where the different cliques want to make him choose a side.

Jacob has slow speech or something, LoL. It's hard to describe. He sounds like someone who's either drunk or just woken up from a long sleep. He gives me creepy/weird vibes. Ewwww. I don't wanna finish watching his video! He reminds me of a serial killer or something. Ooh, he did say that he would flirt with "a homosexual" if there's one in the house because he's comfortable with his sexuality. On one hand, that wins him points with me, but on the other hand... "a homosexual?" LoL

Chelsia is very likable! I thought she would be a total bitch, but she's actually very enjoyable and sweet. She likes older men. Only started watching Big Brother last season and was blown away by how competetive it was. She's had everything pierced, but not anymore. She isn't the type to get walked all over ("I'm not a rug") and she plans to tell people how she feels about them to their face... no two-faced behavior.

Amanda's voice is so annoying! Reminds me of Jessica's from BB8 with the whole "little girl" voice. I don't think she's as dumb as she sounds, but with her voice she ends up coming across as a complete airhead. She says her appearance is very important to her. Ooh, the things she's saying actually makes sense. She's nowhere near as dumb as her voice makes her sound, LoL. I think she'll be very aware of other people and their perceptions of her. She plans to use everyone thinking she's dumb to her advantage.

Alex? Ehhh... average. Very cute, he has an enjoyable personality, but nothing stands out to me. He says he would like to be labeled as "the hot guy."

Adam's mouth really, really annoys me, LoL. His teeth, the way he moves his lips. I hate it! LoL He says he's got money and he's really just looking forward to the game. I think he thinks he's cuter than he really is. He reminds me somewhat of Howie from BB6. A meathead type. He's going to get on my nerves.

This cast has lots of potential, IMO.

Check this out. Their spaceship is damaged! That thing poking up is the "thermal blanket" and it's not supposed to be up like that. They're like, "Houston, we have a slight problem..." LoL. Excitement!

I think they just said someone's going to fix it tomorrow. They're also doing a space walk tomorrow... woohoo! LoL

    • Am I the only one who hates how this show treats Claire? She's a glorified extra This girl comes from stock the granddaughter of the shows 2 biggest supercouples and they treat her like she's a throw away. Her pop pop is dying/dead and her other grandpa is saved awoken from his coma, alive because of the selfless heroic actions of her maternal grandpa

      There is no reason why she wouldn't be here to say goodbye. Olivia Rose isn't doing anything I bet she love to come back and say goodbye. I just don't understand the motivation & thought process when it comes to some decisions. This show is probably still salty about how they didn't succeed in trying to assassinate Claire, on the alter of her dicktimized bird brained aunt & her serial killer boyfriend/husband with the audience.  Also unless they're keeping it under wraps Sami not being back in time to say goodbye to John is a huge fumble. If it had to do with Ali availability then they should've pushed back the fallout of Johnny learning about his sperm donor raping his mother and the subsequent confrontation with Elvis & Sami to conceded with John's coma & death so Sami/Ali were here for it. It's just a huge piece missing from this. As much I hated Sami's overdramatic looney tunes treatment of John long after she was in her 30s, became a grandma, her & John had one of the best dynamic complex heartbreaking father/daughter relationship's on both daytime and the show. It would be full circle as John's end of watch nears, that Sami apologizes for her treatment of him & admits she does love him. He was just as much as a father to her as "Roman", in a impossible situation that turned everyone lives upside down(The 2 Romans, Roman Intitial Death, The Affair)through no fault of his own. How fitting if she called him dad one last time & how thankful she is for his unconditional support and love. He squeezes her hand one last time, calls her Samantha and finally let's go after hearing the words he spent decades longing for in my eyes
    • So around '84 is when things get bad?
    • There are details through the thread, but yes, as mentioned, she hated Ellen Wheeler, and lambasted her for crying a lot, for her decisions with firing and Peapack, etc. Back in the day she also hated Pam Long, who created Reva and gave Reva all of her best material. The producers or writers she liked most seemed to be those who saw Reva in the most generic of molds, although she likely doesn't see it that way. She was OK on OLTL; I think @Vee could probably give a better summary. She was earthy and added her usual hard work to some trash material. There was nothing special going on, as yet again with patron saint Carlivati it was all plot, no character, and he cared more about writing for a cutesy child character.  You're right about what they could have done with Reva. Reva, Erica, and any women who are in story long enough face this problem. The biggest difference is Reva was allowed to age (even with the post-menopausal baby), which Erica was not.
    • Cali was the only Paulina for me on AW.  Was Judi Evans such a “name” that Cali was fired for her?  Judi basically played an entirely different character.  She could’ve been Nancy!
    • They were great together. Barbara was way too high maintenance for any man. You know Henry divorced her a$$ after about a year.  And, here’s an example of what I was talking about…
    • I watch every day as well, and I am enjoying the show. There's always room for improvement. TBH, things are much different from what I expected reading the character breakdowns. That could be a good thing! I'm willing to let them find their groove and figure out what kind of show it wants to be. The core and underlying theme. -I echo what a few others have said: The show is lacking in real romance and cross-starred lovers. But that tracks from (MVJ) experience cause the bell soaps are not good with romance IMO. -I have a feeling it's being built before our eyes, but we're missing that rival family. -I would prefer more variety of storylines. Good ones that could weave together the whole town.   -I struggle connecting to the male characters. So I hope they get a clear handle on them soon. Most of them feel underwritten and one-note. -Find a better purpose for Naomi. I fear she will be the first Dupree dumped. I completely agree. June's story does nothing for me. And what if she turns out to be Tyrell and Samantha's mom? They are very close to leaving high school. why should I care? If she turns out to be related to Hayley also, what's the long-term story, and why should I care? I believe Hayley can work on her own as a vixen. Does she need a sounding board? Sure, but you can accomplish that with an outsider's friend group. I didn't think I would be saying this, but I would entertain Kat having a forbidden affair with Jacob. Both Naomi and Jacob need something to do other than case-of-the-month storylines. 
    • That would really just be a redux of the Leslie/Eva story. I really hope they don't go there. My guess for the storyline with Anita that we have "never seen before on daytime" is that it may be a "me, too" story. Anita did unspeakable things to get ahead because of some disgusting producer, and the other person she left behind was a boyfriend who cared about her very much.
    • Reva and Zimmer needed strong adversaries/scene partners. It would dampen the negatives associated with the character and Zimmer's self-admitted excesses. I think that's why she was a bust on SB. I don't know how she did on her return to OLTL because I was not watching at that point. The problem for me with Reva is the same situation with Erica Kane. It ended up being variations of the same storyline year after year. I think if the show had truly broken up Reva and Josh and put them in other viable relationships it would have freed up the characters to have better storylines and character growth. Instead, it's as if the characters were stuck for decades.
    • I am still behind and know what upcoming week you are talking about.

       And I know I'm not ready and have not been since the official news. That was my first couple on that show. You won't be alone.    When you put it like that...same. Like I say in the thread when I'm more interested in what people are wearing than the stories...red flag. No momentum. Just stalling.      lol.
