More of Mine... A mix of old and new...

GL:

- Laura Wright was good as Cassie and Nancy St. Alban was good as Michelle for about 6 months tops. Specifically in late 2002, when they hooked up with Danny (Paul Anthony Stewart) and Bill (Daniel Cosgrove) respectively.

- Jeffrey was and is a cancer to the show. Cole should NEVER have been brought back. He was only mediocre as Richard, a character with about as much personality as a roll of toilet paper. He simply does not have the acting ability to portray a character like Jeffrey.

- Josh and Reva were COMPLETELY responsible for Annie's mental breakdown. If they would have made up their freaking minds to get back together or not instead of dragging her through hell, she never would have went insane.

- Drew Jacobs was a horrible character no matter how talented Tammy Blanchard was. Ditto Selena (Patti D'Arbanville).

- Olivia and Josh and Reva and Noah were two really good couples.

- Jonathan and Tammy were incredibly overrated.

Amen! And I'd add Peter Simon to that as well. I fondly remember how much heart be brought the SECOND he returned in 2002. Simon and ver Dorn were truly the heart of the show. Now there's nothing. Nothing at all.

Because she is a good actress and I don't think the majority of Y&R viewers have seen enough of her to judge. It's the same as the Vail Bloom situation: most people thought she was awful until she actually started getting some screen time, which was very recently.

Of course you can. I was just asking a simple question - I wasn't attacking you.

you know y&r fan, Tammin Sursok didn't show anything that deserves to be praised for the moment. We don't like her accent, her acting. Maybe sometimes we'll change our opinion if she really does something good. For the moment, I can't understand that you keep saying how good she is when you admit by yourself that she hasn't done anything on the show. You can think she was good on other shows but you have to let her do something good on Y&R before praising her again and again. You can't say she deserved the emmy. :)

Days - I loved RKK as Bo and Bo and Billie were the reason I started watching the soap. I loved RKK and Lisa Rinna together. I love Kate. Really liked her with Roman and would love to see them reunite.

B&B - I like Donna and Eric. I can't stand Felicia and have never liked Leslie Kay. I like Brooke and Nick.

ATWT - I really liked Carly and Simon together. And I'm a CarJack fan. I find Liberty amusing and think the show needed her energy. I think Meg and Paul are OK.

GH - This is my favorite. I don't mind all the mob stuff. Sometimes it gets to be way too much but for the most part I like it. I LOVE Sonny and Kate. Kate is my favorite. I liked Carly and Jax but am starting to think he deserves so much better. I would be happy if Sonny and Carly never had a scene together again much less get back together. That's so overdone. I like Lucky and Sam. I find Jason amusing in scenes with Carly. I love how he looks at her when she's all crazy. I think he's perfected that look. :P Love Maxie now that I hate Lulu.

Like, whatever.

:lol:

About the males, I never realized that until just this moment... Interesting. :unsure:

Co-sign.

EXACTLY!

:lol:ROTFLMAO! :lol:

And, in my opinion, that's a compliment considering how GREEN AND UNNATURAL she was when she first showed up in 2002.

Thank you.

I had a dream a couple weeks ago where she was getting smacked in the face repeatedly by some mob thug. I guess I don't enjoy Kate Howard, either? :unsure:

Period.

Mulva. :mellow:

Thanks... I thought I was missing something with this over-hyped acting phenom drivel that was surrounding her.

Me TooToo.

Now, for mine:

General Hospital:

~ I think General Hospital thinks its too cool for school.

~ Maurice Benard is incredibly limited -- and nobody wants to tell him.

~ Kelly Monaco kicks ass -- but Sam's a shitfest of a character.

~ Alexis Davis' sole purpose is for the writers to have a character to beat up on. They clearly don't like the character.

~ Bob Guza isn't a horrible writer.

~ Karen Harris' writing irritates me.

~ Rachel Ames retired -- she had every right to.

~ Luke's useless -- especially with the Geary Vacations truncating story after story.

All My Children:

~ I'm glad Amanda L. Beall's gone.

~ Beall, Bugler, Taylor, Hayes and Kanelos were a large part of what was wrong with the writing team through both McTavish and B&E tenures.

~ I miss pre-Joan Rivers Susan Lucci. I LOVED her gorgeous 70s & 80s "ethnic" look. "Ethnic" because Lucci has said she worried she looked "too ethnic" when she was up for the role.

~ Annie was never properly developed.

~ I didn't like Sabine Singh but thought she was horribly disrespected.

~ I didn't want Greenlee to return in any form at all. Real, Fake, New, Original, Faux Fur...

~ Aiden Turner should be counting his lucky stars. Actors with far more charisma than he's ever displayed have been fired while he continues to work.

~ RPG and Beth Ehlers do NOT fit at AMC.

~ Neither does Chuck Pratt.

~ Alexa Havins was totally unworthy of her thrust to the airtime hogging top of the heap.

~ Rebecca Budig is acceptable in small, watered down doses.

~ I can't stand it when people act like it's a crime that 90 year old actors like James Mitchell and Eileen Herlie aren't getting front burner storylines.

~ Julie Carruthers is incredibly piss poor at producing AMC.

    • I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
    • She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
    • I am a little disappointed that the show will be writing Jenn as in the wrong for her not liking Cat, when she's actually in the right.  Maybe if Cat was played by a competent actress and had a purpose, I would be more behind this propping of the character. And I can't wait for the funeral for John Black to be over and then we can proceed and move on.  
    • I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.
    • Congratulations to Carlos Alcaraz on his second win at the French Open!

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
