Noelle Beck is a good actress, but she doesn't fall into the role of Lily. And it stuns me that so many people have accepted her. :huh: She's good, but she's no "Lily".

Charity Rahmer sucked BALLS. After the first week, I was just WAITING for a news release. But noooooo, they had to wait two fricking months!

Lastly, Christina Chambers......*pfft*.......she was a recast Molly on ATWT. And the second she opened her mouth, I was like, "Oh gawd!!!" Ugh *shudders*

Big fat word to that. Absolutely wrong for the part. Shari Shattuck turned Ashley into a boring b---- and had no connection with any of the actors the writers tried to pair her with. I feel she only got the part and lasted as long as she did because she was married at the time to Ronn "Ridge Forrester" Moss.

Wow, I completly disagree with these especially JB as Carly on GH. She is highly underrated and I preferred her over Laura Wright.

Kevin Stapleton was the BEST Kevin. JFP made a huge mistake when she fired him and hired her friend, the bland Tim Gibbs in his place

Im enjoying her as Lily. I much prefer her over Martha Byrnes. Sucks that she left but best thing to come out of it was NB in the role

JB as Carly was one of the biggest MISCASTS i have ever seen. I say miscast because shge wasnt a horrid actress, and she did actually rock what they gave her. She just was not Carly. SAhe had no chem with anyone, and thank god she left. And DP, it had nothing to do with Tams. Tams will forver be my carly, but i can accept other people in roles as long as they are good and work in the role.

Charity R. as belle was the worst recast ever. she was worse than bad 2am skinamax acting. she was so much worse than krista allen, a fate i wasnt aware as possable.

Christina Chambers was a miscast as Molly (she should had the other role they casted around that time... hal's daughter i think. maybe Nikki?) But she was awesome as Marty.

EMmily Harrison was just... awful. Shari Shattuck just was not Ashley Abbott.

Cheap, i could not agree more. Noelle is doing amazing in the role.

Two glaring Y&R omissions, both of whom were worse than Shari Shattuck:

Scott Seymour (ex-Billy Abbott) - cross-eyed, cue card-reading wierdo.

Davetta Sherwood (ex-Lily Winters) - couldn't emote to save herself.

I have to ask, why does everyone hate Shari Shattuck's Ashley? I started watching when she was on the show, so I had nothing to compare her to at the time, but I thought she did fine.

:rolleyes:

You know, I could probably deal with the Tammin bashing if it weren't for the name-calling. <_<

Sorry, I'm going to have to disagree there. She was just awful. She was everything people accuse Tammin Sursok of being.

Here's a clip of Ms. Harrison's "acting". (Skip ahead to 03:47.) *shudder*

SS was awful.

Davetta was perfection. She was everything and then some.

And this isnt an attack on you and im not justs aying this to piss you off by TS is a miscast. Please note i used miscast, meaning she should be in a diff role.

and as for SS - i dont ahte on her. She just didnt bring Ashley to life to Elieen does.

Aside from Liz H. and Vail B. she is better than anyone under 30 on Y&R.

For the life of me, I will never understand Davetta's appeal. Sure, she looked and sounded more like Dru (I won't say she acted more like Dru because that would be an insult to Victoria Rowell), but her acting was SO dull. Her line delivery was flat and she had a constantly sulky facial expression. She really looked like she didn't want to be there. And when she had a major scene (like the one where Lily found out Malcolm was her father) it looked incredibly forced.

I can understand why there are people who prefer Adrianne over Tammin - Adrianne is a good actress, and Tammin has barely had a chance to prove herself - but the Davetta thing has me baffled.

Heres my thing - first thing is i am not one of those popel who liked DS as lily becaus she was more 'ghetto'. Lily Winters should not be street. She is a pretty pretty princess who grew up with a galm lifestyle in Paris. I liked DS in the role because.. well she could act and she had chem with everyone. She also did come off more like Dru's daughter - but again thats not really an issue because i buy CK as Niel's daughter. I just think C is a very underwhelming actress.

      Hotel no doubt benefited from the Dynasty lead in and didn't move until it was jettisoned to Sat night wasteland to play out a final season. Maybe it should have been moved earlier to perhaps bolster another night and allow ABC to nurture another show in the post Dynasty timeslot when the former was still a ratings winner.

      Who is going to say, "I'm headed home to watch The Chew?!?!" One of the most ridiculous names ever. I didn't watch AMC or keep up with it towards the end, but OLTL still had life in it and could have gone on. OLTL 2.0 was entertaining and worked because RC was not involved. A real shame that did not work because I think the show could have gone in good directions.

      I've always said that JFP's main problem is that she comes up with some shocking event and she plans around the event but she never thinks much about the emotional fallout for the characters or the fans. That's why so many of her stories don't work and damage her shows. I like your idea about Lando playing the person involved in hitting Maureen. It would have given Peter Simon something to do which is the feeble excuse they gave for killing Maureen off in the first place. Instead, they gave us the dreck they did.  And they were so obsessed with recreating the blackout week that they kept putting characters in fires and blizzards. None of which I saw, but going through the Logan columns I noticed: every few weeks, someone at GL would give an interview to Logan saying GL was going to get better because they had a great new storyline (A fire! A blizzard! A fire!) . Insanity.

      @Contessa Donatella, Make sure to cite your sources when making claims such as "apparently she just inked a new deal." This information has not been reported anywhere and is therefore not known to the public, unless disclosed by the actor in question themselves. Once again, stop stating information as fact without providing a legitimate source. What you read or hear somewhere, from either message boards or on social media, does not make it true. This includes information from your "sources."

      I don't believe it either, @kalbir.  Ironically, I think KL's first producer, Joseph B. Wallenstein, ended up producing "Hotel" as well.

      Yes, and by the time the 2000's rolled around Katherine was a saint and a dynamic business women. Hard to connect with the drunken lush isolated in her mansion of the 70's.

      For once, I agree with Maurice.  AMC and OLTL had seen better days, IMO, but to assume that the audience would stick around for "The Revolution" or "The Chew" was pure hubris on the network's part.
