Y&R: Nia Peeples has a HUGE Ego!


Recommended Posts

It's one thing when you are Victoria frickin' Rowell after years of service. It's quite another when you are Nia "No Room At The Primetime/Film/Infomercial/Canadian Television/Industrial Films Inn" Peeples. Please, you just showed up on soaps like two years ago. And you have no fan presence to speak of.

As for Rauch being "hard on" women, we forgot another one: Maeve Kinkead! Oh, he really taught her a thing or two, huh?!

Edited because I decided I didn't want to be that mean.

My eyes were playing tricks on me. I was skimming the board and swore the subject line read "Nipples as a HUGE Ego!"

BWA-HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!! :lol::lol: Tears! OMG! Tears!

So much for Vancouver.

Now, really, Vee... Where's the fun in that?

But seriously, as a former dancer myself, I do have to say that she was on top of her game in Fame... but that can only take you so far. Being a woman who, according to her (since she can't play black, Asian, Italian, white, Native American, Russian, German, Ecuadorian, etc...) doesn't "fit in" anywhere and isn't exactly 25, she should be happy to have a job as a working actress -- even on AGEIST DAYTIME! Quit it with the diva persona. Whatever talent you do have does not make up for a lack of humility.

And let me just chime in on the Victoria Rowell comparisons... She may have commented on problems with co-workers or the environment, but I don't recall her ever making it seem like she just breezes in and does a better job than everyone else in that company and how TPTB tell her she elevates everybody's work. As I said before, that, for me, was what made me say "Okay, enough!" As if the show was merely limping along for the last three decades and then BAM! Nia Peeples comes and everyone's game is automatically stepped up just to reach her extraordinary level of acting!

I mean, I know Victoria said something similar about the ratings boost and how she might have had something to do with it, but that can be debated since Drucilla was a very popular character. As far as this Karen character is concerned... they "tried" to write her out after 18 months. Clearly, they already told you in so many ways, Nipples, that they can pretty much write a show without you. That, to me, would be a sign to say "Okay, let me shut up until I get a little more clout."

    • Well, Claire did rig Rick's test results, but it was to flunk. They actually managed to get his correct results back after they were thrown into Cedar's furnace...I think? Everyone knew Claire changed them and Rick passed so that rewrite never made sense.   I agree. Pratt always seems "edgy" on screen (and her Locker Room interview prooved that it came from her personality.) I liked Claire causeing trouble and love Meta ringing her beads. Its just too bad that Abby left and they kinda just forgot Claire existed. 
    • Oh so they did sleep together. The retcon was just the medical boards? That makes sense. I think Susan Pratt, while a good actress, was just an unlikeable presence onscreen and soaps wrote to that most of the time. There was some potential for more with her when she returned in that stint, as Pratt was at least interesting to watch and caused some conflict for the stifled Bauers. Instead of pairing her with Alan and then disappearing I might have had her hook up with Danny. I think there was a lot of flirtation with Bolger's Philip, but they never crossed the line.
    • I haven't seen Melchior in the role, but it would be astounding if she's worse than Linn. Her rivalry with Stephanie was sidelined IMO because Linn was one of the few actors who didn't have chemistry with, nor raise her game, when paired with Susan Flannery. To be fair, she did show some signs of life in scenes opposite Darlene Connelly, but way too little too late. It feels like Bell finally woke up after the Thorne switchover and sidelined the Kristin character with Mick to 1 or 2 appearances a week. As a result, the show improved by leaps and bounds after she was inexplicably at the center of the show for most of 1989. Margo is so much more enjoyable when not tied to that albatross. Even Clarke is watchable with less Kristin interaction. She can't exit stage left soon enough. As for the new Thorne, I agree that Norcross feels like a Forrester a lot more than Thrachta, even if the latter is a better actor.
    • The cast said that scenes were filmed over a few weeks, with a preplanned hiatus in the middle, and it was all out of order.  I would *guess* that they used Chandler when they could get him? They also had to work around Leo Howard getting married around the time these episodes were filmed, but I guess they worked it out since Tate appeared.
    • Maybe there was a scheduling conflict or something. He still has the full time 9-5 in Atlanta, right? Julie was there. Idk if Maggie’s gonna be a part of it though 
    • At this point, the best nonpaywall coverage of Los Angeles (and anything political)  is in...the Tennessee Holler https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social And as always, emptywheel continues to be consistent https://bsky.app/profile/emptywheel.bsky.social
    • Today Monday was the start of people arriving at the funeral, but the service hasn't started yet.  I know this is the nonspoiler thread but I think it's okay to say (in nonspecific terms) that the funeral episodes span a few days.  I won't detail it more here. Just sayin' keep watching.
    • Why am I only now hearing about what happened in L.A., lol?
    • While I agree that Reeves is Jennifer, I honestly do prefer Cady McClain in the role, as I feel she had/has a wider range of acting capabilities than I feel Reeves has. It's the strength of an actor, ultimately, for me, regardless of how I feel about Reeves' political/social views (which I widely disagree with). Plus, not to mention, they costumed Reeves like an old-fashioned frumpy farm/Moron wife, while McClain had some fashion-forward moments.
    • Wait - so no Will, Jack, or Jen at John's funeral? That’s just weird. What was the point of bringing them back then? Did Julie and Maggie even show up? I mean, seriously.
