Members JackPeyton Posted July 21, 2008 Members Share Posted July 21, 2008 JC hands down. pretty much because she can act, but also because shes just amazing. however, the writing when JVA was there was MUCH better. I wish JC could get some of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Matt P. Posted July 21, 2008 Members Share Posted July 21, 2008 I liked JVA in the beginning and didn't like how over the top JC made her but now JC has really grown on me. It would've been nice to see a Knots Landing reunion between JVA and Ted Shackleford. Oh what could've been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted July 21, 2008 Members Share Posted July 21, 2008 Wow...in your succinct posts, you often say the most! Well put...I think JC is the better Gloria as an actress, but for so much of her reign, she hasn't had the best writing. Joan Van Ark got the last days of Jack Smith, and what he wrote for her was terrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tamica Posted July 21, 2008 Members Share Posted July 21, 2008 I liked Joan Van Ark as Gloria becasue she brought a little bit of class to the character in the beginning. She was not over the top like how Judith Chapman plays her now. But the character Gloria is not one of favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cashton Posted July 22, 2008 Members Share Posted July 22, 2008 JC and JVA interpreted the character in two very different ways. They also have a wildly different acting approach. It was more the writers and the casting that changed the character of Gloria - not Chapman. She just went in and did what TPTB wanted her to do. Personally - I prefer JC's take on the role better because I like camp and arch types on soaps. JVA seemed to care too much about people liking her whereas JC could not give a damn how much people like her character or not - she relishes her character's behavior. And yeah, the travesty that JVA has done to her face is just a shame and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted July 22, 2008 Members Share Posted July 22, 2008 The character that JVA created was a much stronger long term character than the one Judith Chapman plays now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
