really? which tvguide?

the show has too many females. if she doesn't want to stay, then they should write bridget off the show. this pairing with nick again, after baby jack being brooke's child, is awful. it is so twisted how bridget slept with nick moments after brooke left the marone mansion.

i say write budge off to give more room for other storylines. nick has katie now so there's no need for budge!

BEST:

Sabine Singh as Greenlee on AMC...she actually made me want to watch the poison dwarf in action.

Eddie Cibrian as Cole on SuBe...I doubt anyone remembers Ashley Hamilton in the role, thank god. Eddie's Cole was a leading man any soap would have killed for and I'm surprised he wasnt snapped up by another soap when SuBe ended, although he's doing well in Primetime etc now.

Jacob Young as JR on AMC...he's made the role his own.

Tamara Braun as Carly on GH...the definitive Carly to me; as much as I love Laura Wright she's just Laura Wright to me, not Carly, if that makes sense. Tamara was the first Carly I knew and definately my favourite.

Nicole Forrester as Cassie on GL...I know many are going to disagree with me here but Nicole is one of the strongest actresses on the show and she's made the role of Cassie her own. I dont know how well she's been accepted by long term viewers as Cassie but now I couldnt imagine Laura Wright in the role.

Rachel Melvin as Chelsea on DAYS...she's one of the best things DAYS has going for it, and I just hope the show lasts long enough for them to be able to show Chelsea growing up and having a family etc.

Brandon Beemer as Shawn on DAYS...definately a step up from Jason Cook, both acting and looks wise.

Martha Madison as Belle on DAYS...the definitive Belle, in my opinion. She really is like a young Deirdre Hall and I hope another soap picks her up soon.

WORST:

Charity Rahmer as Belle on DAYS...how anyone thought it would be a good idea to give this girl a job is beyond me, which is why part of me thinks it was all a big con to make Martha a more instant hit when she came on board instead of having her come on right after Kirsten Storms.

Amanda Baker as Babe on AMC...she has none of the spunk Alexa brought to the role and not even one iota of the star quality Miss Havins had.

Kyle Lowder as Rick on B&B... I just dont know why they saw the need to recast him when Justin Torkilsden was still around and had been so central to many of Rick's past plots... Kyle's Rick is just a new character with an old name.

Spencer Grammer as Lucy on ATWT...it's no wonder she was canned after so little time in the role. She was a good enough actress but she just wasnt Lucy...although part of me blames the writing for that; Lucy was gone for like a year and she comes back and she's a doctor?

Best

Dan G. as Kevin on OLTL

Bree Williamson as Jessica on OLTL

Trevor St. John as Todd on OLTL

Laura Wright as Carly on GH

Billy Warlock as AJ on GH

Peter Bergman as Jack on Y&R

Leslie Kay as Felicia on B&B

Carrington Garland as Kelly on SB ( I know, I know, but I remember this one for some reason)

Worst

Tracy Melchor as Kelly on OLTL

Whoever in the future is doomed to replace Dan G. on OLTL

Susan Batton as Taylor on ATWT

Kristen Storms as Maxie Jones (she is a fine actress, but the previous actress was better and there was no reason to change)

Bruce Micheal Hall as Joey on OLTL (the actor was fine, but the collar stunk so the actor went down with it. It would be interesting to see him with a better story)

Babe is a stinker character so both actresses were bad. :lol:

       about it I think Jan is a fine supporting part for a solid daytime vet (probably someone from the P&G soaps), as opposed to someone from the production location who is clearly cheaper. Which seems to govern some casting. I get the rationale, but I would start going through the ATWT/GL, etc. rolodex myself.
    • I dont mind Jan. She's good in the minor capacity she is used. 
    • tbqh I don't care about Jan, I don't care about Ashley and I think Jon Lindstrom as Joey is an acquired taste. Jon is a great actor but certain things are in his zone and then some are not. Some days I find Joey credible and compelling, but the stuff with him hanging around the Golden Corral, grumbling about Doug and bitching at Randy is not amazing. If he had material on par with what MVJ wrote for Ryan/Kevin on GH back in the day it'd be a different story. I do think he has real chemistry with Vanessa, which is in large part due to MVJ clearly molding that character (and hiring an appropriate actor) in the Lucy Coe vein when she reinvented Lucy in the '90s as well. But I am not here to spend 6+ months watching Jon glower a lot (which is what he's doing half the time to carry weak story) and make more vague dire pronouncements while Jen Jacob gets flustered and weepy over "Daddy" or whatever would come of that storyline. Putting them together sounds like a recipe for doom to me. But I may be in the minority on that.
    • I know this will never happen. But... Halle Berry as Dani Dupree(BTG). She would rock this role, it's in her wheelhouse.
    • When I see how bad the Ashley/Derek scenes are, I know there must be a larger purpose and Joey being her father is the thing that makes the most sense.  My take on it is that Ashley knows Joey is her father but doesn't know Joey. Maybe he was there when she was a child or just not around at all but I believe Jan when she says she didn't lie to her daughter about who her father was. Maybe she left him when she discovered his dangerous lifestyle.  I do think they could really jump start the character of Ashley if they hurry and do this. Jan is a great character and her scenes with Ashley have been helpful. This would further integrate Ashley into the canvas and give her something dramatic to do. With her working at the hospital along with Doug, it could lead to complications if she learns Doug is involved with her father. I just need is sooner rather than later because Derek is tanking her character. I need a distraction.

    • The stories are awful. I'm not enjoying any of them. All I'm left with is Sally in a plastic dress.
