ITA about Jake Silbermann! He's horrible.

Oh boy - I bet they're not taking this kindly over at Van's board. But then again, they can never accept the truth. They'll ban Nelson. lol. Jake is horrible and that's a fact. Van isn't much better.

Crystal Hunt is fun. Nelson should just stick to his precious melodramatic Y&R ravings and not publicly humiliate actors. Yeah, I agree with many of his choices, but its pretty low and tabloidish.

And Vail is fine- the role is written thanklessly, and she appears too young to portray an assistant da.

I enjoy Val, but I very much agree she is rather young looking to realistically portray an Assistant District Attorney. But her lack of experience makes up on how many cases of hers were a bust. Also, with her connection to Paul, I guess it made more sense to have her as the ADA to keep that tie to Genoa City.

I sort of disagree about Crystal Hunt, I don't care for the character of Stacy Morasco, but she has done well portraying the character in her time on the show.

Ronn Moss has his good acting moments at times, he's not bad all the time.

I also think Jacqueline McInnes Wood is actually quite good.

just 95% of the time. I had to laugh at him being the only vet on this list among a bunch of young stars

IA on JMW. I dont think she deserves to be on this list. The material for her thisyear has been absolutely horrible but she was quite good with what she was given last year

I also disagree with Bloom. Ive never had any issue with her

I don't think Crystal Hunt is bad either. I liked her when she played Lizzie Spaulding on Guiding Light

Ronn Moss I've never, ever liked. It's funny he's the only vet on that list. As for JMW, I think she is only as good as the material she is given. With that being said, her entire storyline is completely dreadful!

just wait till we get the DC "hair model" list too, since they all seem to share the list.

Pretty much par for the course Nelson. There's been some much bigger offenders, but he gets so wrapped up in just being Nelson that those get missed.

The worst acting I have EVER seen. And I mean at least in my 23 or so years of soap viewing, was Ronn Moss's and McInneses's "performances" after Steffi's death.

McCinnes sp? on the roof was a HOWLER. AN ABSOLUTE COMEDIC MOMENT!!!!

And Ronn is the worst actor in theatre, television, film, high school plays, dinner theatre, commercials, and every other medium that ever was or will be.

They are all pretty tight, all the same stories, all the same critical consensus. I am awaiting their turning on OLTL, as Nelson and Ron have officially broke up again..

It's incredibly annoying how smug they come off at DC, they make their opinions sound like fact and often tend to belittle people who like/enjoy something they might not like/enjoy.

Don't get me wrong, I think DC is a great resource for soap news and happenings, but their opinion pieces are sometimes laughable.

    • The actor who plays Martin has been teasing that nobody has guessed Martin's secret. I love that for things like that and the June story we have no idea. I feel like if we didn't have the day ahead feeds Anita's reveal would've been shocking as well. I love that they aren't going the obvious route with these stories. 
    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining.
