I think Havins was an excellent crier as well. Giddish was good too. AMC had a wealth of talent a few years ago. I don't know if it's morale or what but I don't feel that the younger set is as strong as it once was. The sextet is overworked and uninteresting and I personally think Thorsten's stint on AMC has been overrated as far as acting goes. I have yet to see a scene where he has shown he every bit as strong of a leading actor as they say he is. He was good in his supporting role on PC. But I find his stint on AMC to be all decorative and little substance. He does the little nuances and method acting with the smirks, ad libs, hockey talk and subtle points in his character but I have yet to see the "power house" in his work.

I don't think Alicia is a strong dramatic actress at all. Some may say her subtle acting is excellent but it doesn't do much for me in terms of range, motivation, understanding, depth, ect. I think she was much better back when she first came on and was reckless. I felt she had more passion and life in her back when she was gunning for Erica and when she was trying to "prove" herself. Now it just seems like day in and day out work. I think Alicia is a very strong as a romantic or comedic lead but I am not satisfied with her dramatic work. I feel that the work only gets half way done and that doesn't really carry the day considering the writing is so poor at this time.

Alexa, pfffttt, all she did was cry, that doesn't make someone a good crier, and IMO Alexa was overrated, smug and crying to me is NOT acting.....

Anyways, I'm with Kyle, I'm glad it's finally revealed, and what I've read it's going to be majorly intense

I think Alexa was a good actress! I totally miss her!! Amanda sucks and needs to go.

I cannot wait for these Kendall/Zach scenes! Another character Driven SL. :) This will only make them stronger as a couple!! :)

Couldn't disagree more. Havins was able to portray Babe as a sexy, sassy, sweet and emotional young woman. She was able to portray her character extremely well considering the corner they painted her in. The character couldn't have been in better hands. Havins as a terrific younger actress and the best find for AMC since ER IMO. A terrific actress who was capable of playing realistic and raw scenes. I remember the CPR storyline back in 2005 when Babe had to save her baby from drowning and just remembering that Babe was just devastated by JR's negligence toward little Adam and how she was torn between anger, fear and the pain she felt over her child being in the hospital after having dealt with the trauma of her child not breathing for minutes. We saw her conflict and her pain of not being with her son because "her time was up" on her visitation. She portrayed her character beautifully. There was so much more to Babe then "smug" (which I never saw as a primary character trait in her between) and crying. Yes Babe did have a lot of pain in her life but she had more then that in her stories. Regardless she was definitely one of the stronger actresses on the show during her stint. I could even argue that she was easily the best actress under thirty after Eden left her role in 2005.

love Alicia but she's a horrible crier. Many of her scenes were she has had to have been borderline cringeworthy. Eden as Bianca is the only one of the Kane women that is actually good with crying scenes bc I think SL is on the same level as AM here

Julia Barr was the best crier in daytime this side of Melody Thomas Scott.

There was a scene between AM and SL when AM first started on AMC, and it was a DEBACLE of bad crying from both actresses. SL kept covering her eyes with her tiny little hands to cover up her lack of real tears and from time to time, it seemed like she was laughing. That's another scene someone needs to put on YouTube.

I LOVE Lish and have had the opportunity to meet and speak with her on a few different occasions and she is definitely alot better in the comedic and romantic lead. Like some others here I am glad this is finally going to be revealed. They're rumors that I've read at various places online that say Alicia Minshew wants to leave the show....while I think this will make Zendall stronger, I wonder if they have written some other scenarios in case Alicia does leave. One scenario would be to let Kendall and the boys leave town for a while...until Alicia either decides to resign or they decide if they should recast the character or not. Just a thought....

It looks like this will be interesting.

Some meaty drama finally.

But I have to say that some Zendie fans are completley losing touch with reality.

To act like Zach and Kendall will never ever break up is sooooo LOL...

If they think that they will still be together in say 3 years then they are more out of it than I thought.

They are no Luke and Laura.

They are no Bo and Hope.

They are no Josh and Reva.

They are no Cruz and Eden.

They are no Victor and Nikki....

Those are REAL supercouples.

(breakups and all)

Zach and Kendall = flash in the pan.

As a viewer of AMC since 1979 (almost 30 years) I have never seen a more waste of time with a boring couple.

It's so time to move on.

AMC was good before Zendull came around and it will do just fine without them.

And please save all the Zendie love replies cause I'm not hearing it.

*sticks fingers in ears..."lalalalalalalalala I can't hear you"

LOL

    • There are no dumb questions here, we've all known each other long enough to fill in information without shaming each other.  We want you to be happy @carolineg.  Your POV as one of the few women here is vital. So, please, I hope you never feel as if any question, idea, or opinion is ever silly or stupid.  Your daily reminders about the realities of manicure and menstrual management has become a part of the personality of this thread. As for Hank, while I'm confident there's a plan in place.  It is frustrating that they announce these casting so far in advance that it is tough as an audience and wait it out until the thing happens.  I'm happy they didn't blow it the second Mike was in town, a week after meeting Liam. So, it is a slow burn.
    • I think his full name is Chadwick.  I remember, back when the previous actor was playing him, someone called him Chadwick a couple of times.  It may have been Stefano.  
    • I didn't like those two sleeping together, but I suuure liked seeing BF in them. Wiggle and all. Just sad about the waxing of the chest.   Same.
    • It’s strange. I wonder if the writers at that time had worked with him somewhere else and had a relationship? That time is murky AF to find info on. Rachel Ames in effect left the show at one point in the early 80’s and she is credited like she was there until JFP. Tristan Rogers also took various contract breaks that were not short, and websites also credit him one long stint from 1981-1992. So many people come and go in short succession in 1982-part of 1983. I know they lost a lot of viewers when Genie left, but the show somehow survived yearly at number one through like sheer force of will.
    • In that way, at least we were fortunate.  The Daniel Pilon/Ron Raines decisions...not so much.
    • Letting Brennan put it in yet again while smirking over his shoulder... any day now! She's got him just where she wants him! I do think ol' Jack will be dead by February at the absolute latest. They have set him up as a counter-heavy to Sidwell, forcing poor Joss to work his next scheme or threatening to have her sent down for treason. Once he croaks I still deeply fear we will be subject to Valentin and Carly, partners in crime to lovers, possibly out to find out 'who killed Jack'. Anna was at her best keeping Sonny at arm's length and often somewhat cold, which she only really did (for better or worse) off and on during Carlivati's tenure. But Finola gradually got too emotional over Sonny, Jason, etc. and was allowed to do that onscreen too much long ago. Mulcahey brought some of that steel back, though Finola still managed to choke or quietly sob through some of that material as Anna found her way there lol. She's a brilliant actress and she did a good job with that stuff in '24, but now we're back to the same old and it humiliates the character whether she knows it or not.
    • Listen, I am all for Laura Wright wearing silly wigs and glasses if there was a point.  So far she's just been nice to Brennan and made out with him.  How evil lol!!  Even though I have been told Brennan loves her the writing was never there.  It's so low stakes.  Carly should maybe talk to her daughter and have an adult conversation instead. Laura and Anna look foolish.  I really don't have an issue with either being friendly or at least having some affection for Sonny.  I don't get both of them wanting to have a parade to announce how much they love him and how valuable the friendship is.  C'mon, Laura basically tolerated Sonny because of Luke until Lulu/Dante got together.  Anna likes Sonny because Robin did?  There really isn't much more of a reason for Anna to give him the time of day besides that.  They aren't lifelong buddies.
    • It is so dumb and is dragging on already after a couple weeks. By the time Carly wraps this up Joss will be running the local branch office. And yes, Laura deserves better. It's like they tripled down on this Sonny apologia stuff with her and Anna after the Mulcahey saga.
