And I when I mentioned Fumero, I meant David Fumero, not Melissa Fumero...

How Melissa Archer still has a job boggles me. I know alot of people love her, I find her flat, bland, uncharismatic, whiny, reads lines like a robot... And yes Alderson has become HORRIBLE. While her brother has gotten very, very natural. David Fumero??? HOW THE F DOES THIS GUY STILL WORK?? The entire Vega family needs to be ditched.

I LOVE the guy who plays Brody. He is intense. and I actually like Brandon Buddy very much (alot of people do not)

Farah Faith- She is horrible when it comes to challenging, emotional scenes. Absolutely horrible. But she is charismatic in this role. I think with some acting lessons she could be quite good.

Really? I started watching OLTL again in June (Had not really watched since 2002- and I came back for the Daniel Coulson storyline and I left again)

She was a funny little actress when she was 7, 8...

As far as now? This chick is terrible and needs some serious training. Its like watching a bad high school play.

I think the word that comes to mind when watching most of OLTL's under 32 crowd is "amateurish".

LOL. I almost made a comment like that.... She is not ugly, but she is at an awkward age.

And you know all of you have thought this- The only reason she has the job is because she was so good in the role when she was a kid. Would this girl audition and get the role of "teenage Starr Manning" now? Probably not. And yeah, she does not have "soap looks" per say. But really, neither did Roger Howarth...

And yes, she does have some scenes where she is decent. But generally she seems like a girl in a high school play.

Great idea.

Mark Lawson ?-Brody, is one of the best younger cast members on daytime right now....He really belongs with Y&R's 20 something cast- but OLTL hasn't really had much luck in doing anything with their 20 somethings-

I'm no Natalie fan- but I think from a marketing standpoint- she's great for the show....OLTL has always been ABC's redheaded step child, and I think Melissa Archer has a look I can remember from the show...Kinda how RJ was in the 90's- you saw a preview and new which show it was for without the title. I just don't think she fits into the camp of the show now...

I had to sit through Brandon Buddy since he started and I just can't believe this guy gets paid to do this- he needs to go back to theatre, as does Farah Fath- but then again she's also for the tweens. David Fumero is getting paid to model.

Hey guys- Since we are on the subject-

I basically hate GH and have not been a fan since 1995 or so..

But it is always on after OLTL and there is one younger actress I think is excellent. Whenever she starts talking I look up from my computer- along with that LoCicero woman- She is the chick who used to be on DOOL- She has short blonde hair.

Is she well regarded? She seems to be on every damn day. I LOVE the way she reads her lines, she has a great charisma and I pay attention whenever she comes on. She justy seems very natural to me.

I think she is fantastic. That's all.

But not enough to watch the show which seems dull, dull, dull.

I think Eddie Alderson is better because he has film experience. KA only knows soaps. EA has been working with the likes of Mira Sorvino and Clint Eastwood.

And the day OLTL re-signed Fumero is the day I decided they needed to be canceled. There's no reason for wasting that kind of money.

      Thanks!

       That's positive and something to look forward to for sure, because you're right, 1996 so far isn't nearly as good as 1995. Ohh - what is Lonatrat?  Sadly you're probably right. I did feel like David was rarely seen once Marcus came on. That would have been an interesting spin, having Frank and Tina be teenage lovers and Dahlia really being his daughter. I'm getting the sense that Tina won't be seen too much anymore, as she just left Dahlia with Frank/Eleni as she's heading to jail for a while. I like the Tina actress too!  Her voice sounds a bit like Rosie Perez to me, which I love. I tried to find her online, but coming up empty. This was the only thing I could find about Tina Crede - a character snapshot video with clips and stills of her (randomly starting just before the 1:00 mark):

      That's wild that the David actor is nearly 40 here! Definitely surprises me.

      5-6   Meh. It already looks like a scattershot week.    5-5 was actually a good episode. Damian and Lily. Phyllis finally going on the warpath that I knew she could get on with Billy and Sally. Nate started to question Audra and Victor's alliance. And I was not even bugged by Kyle and Claire.   But then there's Cole's off-screen story. Kyle and Claire going back to being whiny. And them even wanting Adam's penthouse just sounded like trying to keep the set around. And Diane shouldn't even give a flying frak about Billy's opinion. And Tessa, Daniel, and the guitars...yeeeah no.   But hey...JM looked good in that short. And those pants.  I agree. One of Y&R's good points with fans has always been that you do at least see the vets. And IN stories.

      One of the things that I found unnecessary and a bit disturbing about Ambitions was that in almost every episode someone was holding or shooting a gun.  Jamey and Ron seem to have the same fetish.

      I had thought that there was a Tommy Biddles on there, but then I realized I was thinking of Dr. Biddles on Santa Barbara. Never mind!

      I have watched the scene where Vanessa reads the letter and it's lovely, but I'm really glad now that I never got around to watching the funeral. Henry ADORED Nola! He treated her like a daughter and Stacy like a granddaughter. That's why Vanessa couldn't stand her. He was crazy about all the Reardons. He spent a lot of time at the boarding house. He and Bea--they never explicitly said it was romantic, but they certainly were loving friends. This sounds worse than Bert's funeral. I really did not think that was possible.

      It always bothered me from the start that Nicole just took Mona's suggestion and never checked references.  A real psychiatrist would have done more before hiring someone. ** I like that Kat's reporter/investigative type instincts caused her to be suspicious of Eva from the start, and to try to spy on Eva and catch her as weeks went by. However, I think that Kat's so focused on what Eva did wrong -- that she won't see that Leslie is the master manipulator, making some things appear different than they actually are. I hope that Shanice's natural snoopy nature will get her to figure out what actually happened to Laura, and who really caused all the problems. *** edit to add: The show never specified what Mona's job was for Nicole.  Home manager?  Office manager?  Head personal assistant?  I'm sure there would have been a title?    Mona asserted today her upset with Eva and with Leslie.  That they used her and ruined her reputation.  I just wish I knew what Mona's job was. If Mona was an official manager, then it would have made sense for Nicole to trust the recommendation, if Nicole thought Mona had done a proper hiring procedure.  But if Mona is just an informal helper, then why wouldn't Nicole order a background check?

      Also, someone knocked over the head (usually in the D Mansion) and imprisoned in the secret tunnel room or whatever it was. I swear that must have happened at least a dozen times the last few years, and each time it drove me crazy!
