There definately not as popular on AMC. But viewers have warmed up to them a lot more now that they are no longer forcing the Taylor/Jake pairing on us.

I can't blame TB for Reese's unpopularity. Not only is the character terribly written and unsympathetic but the story she is in has angered some pretty large fanbases. I don't see how any actress could salvage that character.

For me, James Scott has really done an impressive job of getting such a large fanbase of DAYS fans considering he was a rapist of Sami, attempted killer of John, tortured Steve, and wasn't he the 'gloved hand' who did something wrong? Don't remember, but when he was revealed to be Stefano's and Susan Banks' son, he was MEAN, MEAN, MEAN! Bad writing on the writers' part to have him do such a quick 180 and be an upstanding 'good' DiMera.

Agree with Farah Fath; hated when they started giving Mimi storylines with Rex and Shawn. Much better on OLTL but I'm still turned off sometimes by her bloated pouty lips and pounds of make-up.

Jack Wagner, I'm surprised he's lasted this long as a non-Forrester and especially now that the Brooke/Nick pairing is over. He just seems pointless now and too weathered to be romancing girls in their late 20's. I loved him as Dr. Peter Burns on Melrose Place though.

I think it's unfortunate that quite a few of the people mentioned I haven't liked in anything.

I loved Lisa Peluso on LOV, but I think I loved her even more of what I saw of her on AW. She was so funny. Her short stint on OLTL was disappointing, they should have "saved" her for something more special.

I tried to follow RS to Passions as Hecuba, but I couldn't really get into it. She looked like she was having fun, but it was a little too OTT for me, kinda like some of the stuff she's been playing on OLTL lately.

I know it's still VERY early, but I am liking Crystal Hunt on OLTL. I COULD.NOT.STAND. her shrewish self on GL, her voice has thankfully dropped an octave or so and she's gotten it out of her nose. The current Lizzie is much more likeable.

    • Love this! You are both adorable. Wow
    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.  
    •   Dani’s cute ass party planner. He gave me some tea but I was so drunk I don’t remember it.
    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
    • Omg not we both ran into people from the show this weekend!
    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside. 
    • Yup.  You can hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years.  So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.
