Since you already mentioned Charity Rahmer for some odd reason didn't make the list. Uhm, can everyone please say Steve Wilder ( ex Jack Deveraux, DAYS). That was just, wth!

I HATED Tracy Middendorf's Carrie. I was so pissed when they got rid of CC
They didn't get rid of Christie. She chose to leave and went on to finish school and such. When she came back the character was became more mature for obvious reasons, so it was all good imo. Especially since it was what CC wanted in the first place.

Totally agree with this. IMO, the character of Fox should have been written off when Justin left, especially since they decided to kill off Fox anyway.

I didn't mind Christina Chambers as Marty-I enjoyed her Marty and John. I didn't love Jennifer Bransford as Carly but she was awesome towards the end with the breakdown storyline

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*

Darn, you beat me to it. Every time I saw Christine on OLTL, I was reminded of how horrible she was on ATWT, which was like a double-wham of two mind-numbing, nauseating performances rolled up into one. I think SOD was wrong in saying that she was the worst miscast as Marty. She was far worse as Molly lol.

OLTL: Christina Chambers (Marty, 2006-07)

*shudders*

GH: Jennifer Bransford (Carly, April - October 2005)

I loved Jennifer Bransford as Carly. She was such a refreshing change from awful Tamara Braun.

Too bad Noelle Beck and Tammin Sursuck aren't on that list.

Oh no. Mark Cameron Wystrach made an awesome Fox. He was in no way comparable to Justin but he had his own rhythm as Fox. Not to mention the INSANE chemistry between him and Adrian Bellani. They were hot.

I agree, I really liked Mark as Fox and I was rooting for him to get Kay.

I really felt bad for Christina Chambers as Marty. Dena brought her on with little attention to the history of the character. Ergo Cole being Marty's son instead of the daughter she originally had just to promote the teen story. I really think CC's Marty was brought on solely to be paired with John and play mother to Cole (to support the lame teen story), and they really never had any well defined plan for who the character really was. In the beginning I really thought she was going to be conniving. She seemed to have ulterior motives for interfering/spying on John McBain and for testifying for Spencer Truman, but they never pursued that angle. Original recipe Marty was perfectly capable of being manipulative and edgy. Then they did an about face and left the character completely devoid of intrigue. She became a Mary Sue and that was never Marty, and subsequently the character was completely uninteresting and bore no resemblance to Marty. So I won't blame Christina Chambers or casting for that failure. JMHO.

Makes me so happy that Dena didn't like my favorite (appeared to hate her actually), because the only characters who suffered worse than the characters Dena hated were those she loved.

BTW

I just heard that Forbes and CC are going to Days? Good Luck!

IF it is true i welcome them both.

Christina Chambers is amazing. Loved her on SuBe and on Spyder Games. She was made to play a sexy bitch. Not a whinny heroine.

LOL! We're almost in agreement. We must stop now before things go too far. I think she's a capable actress who was given really bad material and inconsistent storyline progression. I don't think Meryl Streep would have made that story work. Never watched Sunset Beach or Spyder Games, but I've seen her in other things. I think amazing is too strong, but she's not as bad as people said she was. The whiney heroine was the writing.

And the "Good Luck" wasn't about the performers, it's my fear of what Dena will do with them. Don't get it.

Okay, so i am a CC fanboy and use the word amazing and perfect and flawless and awesome. I will admit it. lol.

Days is a million times better than anything she did on OLTL - tho the question is that her riting it or the shows star and ep? lol
