Yeah, Dru always over shadowed their scenes because she seemed to be "keeping it real". But Tonya Lee was one of those intense can cry on command kinda actresses. She's amazing, talented...she can actually act. She needs a love interest though. I never liked Nate.

I'm guessing the "shocking recast" would be either Traci or Malcolm. Victoria Rowell has said she would return if asked so it wouldn't make sense to replace her.

Christel Khalil has a huge fan base (a fact you are in denial about). They're never going to fire her. Deal with it. She's not popular on this particular board, but she has a large following and I think you know that.

That can be said about a lot of bad actors - not just Hartnett. Alot of actors sell it on the charm and other factors.

And some talented actors can't win over fans no matter what because they don't have a personality or they are too distant for fans to make a connection with.

Drake Hogenstyn for instance is said to be one of the most endearing and open people with his fans. Some who have gone to his personal appearances and don't really even like him come away enthralled by him.

But yet you will have someone who is over the top in acting chops but just does not know how to relate to their co-stars or to fans. Also some of the big talented ones let it go to their heads too much. One of my favorite actors of all time was George Reinholt, but one of the big reasons he is not working today is he couldn't get along with people backstage. He got along with most of his co-stars but his bosses utterly hated him.

With others it has been the opposite and because they can't get along with co-stars they find themselves out of jobs.

It takes alot more than talent to make it as an actor. People don't like to work with divas or people who get too big for their britches - and that is what happenes alot with many of the big talents. And it happens to some of them even before they get popular enough to earn the right to act that way.

No, I don't think many of CK's fans watch the show just for her. But why would MAB go to the trouble of bringing back two popular actresses (Eileen and Tonya) and then fire another one? It wouldn't make sense.

I'm not familiar enough with Josh Hartnett to comment on his acting ability, but Christel Khalil certainly doesn't fit that description! Christel is the best younger actress Y&R has ever had IMO. And she has two Emmy nods.

OK, people! This thread is about Tonya Lee Williams!! :lol:

Joining the chorus of people thrilled to have her back. I had forgotten how much she brings to the show.

She and VR both need to come back because Dru and Olivia are flip sides of the same coin. And I know this pairing was hated and instantly quashed, but... I thought Olivia and ThunderThighs had chemistry and a lot of potential. Olivia as the Other Woman!

      Correction. The PM is still there, although you "left the conversation" after being called out by me.

      Definitely.  The Lois I loved in the 90's would have a fulfilling life.  Her entire existence on this show is keeping Gio's paternity a secret and that is a waste of an amazing character.

      I do, too. In truth, I feel like every regime post-strike hasn't had a single clue how to handle Lois, and it's disappointing, because Rena's return to GH was such a blessed event I did not think I'd live to see happen in modern times.

      This is a post you made, and quickly deleted, that referenced the alleged (by you) death of an actress on General Hospital. Again, you are trying to break news, whether it's true or not. That is nothing but immoral, disgusting and outrageous.

      My hope is that Lois leaves town for a few months after the Gio secret blows up and then returns with her own story and a love interest.

      Max Brady is still in a relationship or marriage with his niece Chelsea Brady.  They live in London.  This was confirmed by Chelsea at Victor's funeral. I think she was pregnant then?  They now have a son named Isaac.

      This is an email I received from the PM you sent to Toups and me, just two days before Drake died. That's not something one says when they didn't know his medical condition wasn't already public. You may have quickly deleted the PM after I called you out on having the audacity to think it was appropriate to share at all, but an email lives on. You clearly intended to break the news because you have no clue about what is appropriate and what is not. If you want to become a gossip columnist, as I've told you before, create your own site. I'm sick of the drama you manifest here.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By chrisml · Posted

      Feelings after a week's worth of episodes (and excuse me if I get character names wrong but I'm not googling so as not to spoil anything) Kim Hunter (Nora) is excellent. This is Emmy caliber work. I have no idea if she got nominated, but she would have tapes from this week if she did. She has scenes with Eliot and I'm curious if this is going anywhere because soaps rarely if ever put characters together unless they have a storyline planned for them. I hope so because that was a good scene. I'm still confused about Paige's past storyline with the terrorists. There's a spoiler surprise this week. The spoiler surprise was connected to Nora's scenes and it worked well. I hope to see the spoiler surprise with Nora. Are Paige and her bodyguard supposed to be in a romance? Or did she romance her stepbrother? (I think it's her stepbrother as he is Nora's son, and she's Owen's daughter, right?) April/Draper: Can't say I care all that much about the house issue. The mother gave part of the payment, so what?!? Draper is getting on my nerves with his macho nonsense although the posts here leave me to think he has a right to be upset. I like Margo so much so I don't care.  Sharon Gabet had a fun entrance in this week's episodes for me. She comes in and makes out with Eliot. She has a fight with a character named Sara who she then slaps. She comes home to a baby and her mother-in-law. Fantastic scene. I think this is Lois Kibbee based on looks, but I don't know the character's name. Kibbee and Gabet are amazing in this scene. I don't quite get the background (Raven was married before and cheated on Kibbee's son?) and I don't remember the new husband's name. I'm curious where this is going.  I'm enjoying EON. My only quibble is that I don't like the show's logo. Looks very cheap.

      I feel like the fallout is going to be bad for Lois and I don't want her to leave town.  I wish the show could find a place for her that worked better.
