JB is great in the role of Sarah. No she isnt like AE, but she isnt playing Tina. Sarah isnt like Tina. I do think that if the writers give her soemthing to do JB can surpise people. I see no reason for a recast, esp when much worse actors are on the show.

That ending where Jess (Tess?) threw that picture of her and Natalie across the room gave me chills.

Nice scene between her and Antonio. There was chemistry and friendship and it was just so tender. I never thought I would ever write that!

And the previews really need to stop with giving away so much Mrs. David Vickers! Although I loved that twist.

Any truth to the rumor that Melissa Fumero has signed a new contract to stay on?

Even episodes of other soaps would be much more interesting if we didn't have spoilers/previews. At least there'd be something to get excited about. The networks are sabotaging their soaps by revealing too much info before it airs.

Altho I was counting the days till Tina's and Marty's returns, I'm surprised to find that after 1 week, the other, ongoing storylines are far more interesting. I realize they have to develop the storylines for Marty and Tina, but Marty has hardly been on, and poor Andrea Evans is simply being used to prop up the unwatchable Antonio, Talia, Cris, and Sarah storylines. Rex, Viki/Charlie, Dorian, Jess, and David Vickers are far more interesting right now than Marty's or Tina's storylines (tho I amlooking forward to see how they all play out).

And what has happened to Rex and Gigi? It feels like once Adriana left, so did the chemistry between JPL and FF.

Still, I'm very happy with the show and I realize there will always be a few boring stories. Given the great ones we've got now, I can live with that!

    • I like that there are a lot of local performers on this soap and I'm glad they've resisted so far on hiring too many soap performers.   Cady has been awkward on the show thus far and Jon seems to have polarizing as well. I say focus on the local talent and giving those people a job and exposure.. and leave the P & G soap opera performers in the past.
    • Who do you think would be good for the show among the ATWT/GL cast?

       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.
