Unpopular opinion: Randi's a cool AMC character.

Sorry. I just love simple, one-note stories that are so inconsequential and silly that they're fun.

:wub:

cant you just picture them doing it in the offcie at Sonnybucks? Or ontop of the pooltable! And you know after Maxie would go find Liz and tell her all about it.

ha, thats also how i feel! :D

Here's mine:

I miss Mark Collier and think he was a terribly underappreciated actor. I want him back on ATWT!

I like Katie Peretti on ATWT and always root for her.

I like Daniel/Chelsea on DAYS. My mom says it's her favorite DAYS couple since Liz & Neil Curtis.

I watched Sunset Beach but never considered it to be a good soap opera.

I enjoyed Hogan's stint on DAYS. Just wish we'd gotten more of his vision and less interference.

I love Jill Farren Phelps and think she's a fearless producer. I'll follow her anywhere she goes, though it's always been impossible for me to get into GH.

I think GH has always sucked donkey balls, even during it's supposed glory periods in the 80s & 90s.

Kim Zimmer is a crap actress and I cannot stand her or Reva Shayne.

Flannery > McKinsey

I'm enjoying the Holden/Carly affair on ATWT. I surprised even myself- when the spoiler came out, I planned on thoroughly hating it, since it seemed out of character on both their parts. But I can't help but enjoy it.

I don't think Noelle Beck is so awful as Lily.

Strasser > Slezak

I never have, don't now, and never will like Christian LeBlanc or his acting. I say bring on Lane Davies as Michael Baldwin!

I watched the John and Blair love scenes on OLTL and I did not like them. I hate Blair as this wimpy character. When she was rubbing his shoulder, it gave me a creepy vibe.

I have a couple more...

- Andrea Evans is awful as PRESENT Tina. Her work this week has proven that to me.

- One Life to Live is the worst produced soap, running on mediocrity, and just slightly beating the Light.

-The stories may be interesting on OLTL, but with the exception of Dorian Lord (those Dorian/Mel scenes were top notch), the rest of the characters are either uninteresting, one-note, or played inconsistently. A lot of couples/characters lack an emotional connection with the audience. I felt nothing when Nash died, could care less about Jessica's grief (Bree Williamson is to blame as well), and was joyful when Sarah/Christian went over the Falls. The actors need a better understanding of how to play there character, because what's written in the scripts rarely transcends on to the screen.

- I'm not Kim Zimmer's biggest cheerleader, but I think she's highly taken advantage of. People say she's a bad actress, but I don't see it. She's done excellent work during her tenure on Guiding Light. This is coming from a past Zimmer hater, but I've forced myself to realistically and unbiased evaluate her work, and yes, I was impressed.

- Nancy Lee Grahn is the best underworked actress on daytime. If she had a better role, she would be racking up Emmy nominations annually (despite her not-so-good tape selections to actually win them lol). It's a shame that she's never won an Emmy for her portrayal of Alexis Davis. To me, she's a better actress than over half the actresses working today, and that includes the elite Flannery.

- Stuart on AMC should be killed off. It's one of the worst dual roles on soaps.

- I love Bobbie Eakes, and how she never backs down. She plays what she is given, and plays Krystal with a firm grip.

- Sabryn Genet's crazy Tricia, was better than Cynthia Watros crazy Annie. Make no mistake, both actresses were sublime though.

Now there is a fierce unpopular opinion. :D To me, there's simply no competition between Flannery and McKinsey. Beverlee simply leaves her in the dust, her entire daytime career was unbelievably genius.

After reading through the thread most of my unpopular opinions are already taken. So maybe that makes them not so unpopular after all. :P

**Amen to this. Amazing how certain rabid fanbases can not only ruin your enjoyment of a character but your appreciation for an actor also. even though it isn't the actor's fault that their fans are so rude and obnoxious.

**I like Adrian Korbell and I think Eyal Podell is a good actor when given the right material.

**I hated Amber until Phyllis starting scheming against her....now I love her.

**I love Eric Braeden and never fail to enjoy all of Victor's antics on Y&R. I also will always take his side in whoever he fights against...whether it's Jack or his ungrateful children and ex-wife.

**I loved Robert Kelker Kelly and I miss him on daytime. Not only was he handsome he was a fabulous actor!

**I can't stand Kirsten Storms' acting. She's probably a nice girl and all, but she overacts every single scene she's in. I didn't like her as Belle and I loathe her as Maxie. Although, I'll cheer for Maxie over Lulu every time.

**I hated Luke and Laura. There should never be a relationship between a rapist and his victim.

**I couldn't care less who wrote, produced, directed any of the shows. I wouldn't know a script writer from a gaffer and don't care to have it explained to me. All I want is a good story. And the only show giving me one at the moment is OLTL. And not all of it is that great either (Todd/Marty....GAG!)

    • Do you have Addie’s first air date??
    • Even now Victor is always so warm with Ashley. I liked their brief re-pairing as well.
    • @depboy Thanks. That does help. @titan1978 @Paul Raven Really enjoying the analysis of the production methods and what Monty was doing.  I wish we got some of those biopics here that a few UK soaps got as a biopic on Monty's first few years at GH would be fascinating. 
    • The original 'mansion' was one of the set upgrades they did in 1980 . It was the Chandler residence. When that story fizzled out I think it became Stuart Whyland's house -not 100 on that. But it was revealed that Stuart was working for the Di Mera's (rewrite) so Stefano moved into that house. Mmmm...then it became Alex Marshall's? Neil and Liz lived there also. At some point it was finally replaced.  
    •   Thanks. I'm glad she got to as I know some producers tend to get mad if actors want to direct.
    • I agree; I just wish we'd actually gotten a chance to see a modern Jack/Nikki pairing. It would have been my dream come true, especially since we got Ashley/Victor.
    • I don't remember that. What I recall is Alan living at Revabend, working as a farm hand and listening to Reva b!tch about money. Truly, I felt sorry for Pilon having to play that.

    • on ryan’s hope, when kate mulgrew (mary) became pregnant in real life it was written into the show. she gave the baby up for adoption, but mary had the baby (ryan) so, when she returned to the show she had to play a happy new mother. can’t even imagine. 
    • I have not found the time to listen to the whole thing myself, but I was tinkering with the Youtube AI helpbot thing (which in the app I found by swiping right on the Comments). The high level summary didn't point to it but it let me ask what she had said about Constance Ford and although its paraphrase was inaccurate it did point me to the mention about 52 minutes in. The only thing she said in relation to Ford that could be construed as negative was that when the interviewer asked what she had thought of her she started with "you devil!" and where she had gushed about how lovely she found practically everyone else, she just said that she hadn't really known Connie well and had never sat and talked with her. She also mentioned earlier that originally she had been very friendly with Jacqueline Courtney but they had later fallen out.
