Kristen Alderson most definitely is a talented ingenue, anyone who doesn't see it might wanna rethink calling someone else an idiot. I think Nelson Branco got it right. DAYS needs to fire Molly Burnett. I cannot understand why they want to keep featuring this vapid idiotic Melanie. Hopefully DAYS will send her packing when Max leaves.

Crystal Hunt isn't as bad as Burnett, but OLTL is giving her waaay too much airtime/storyline. Maybe the KED killer will claim Stacy as a victim.

I don't agree about Van. I think he is a far better actor than Jake will ever be. But while I think Jake has improved a little bit he does belong on the list.

I think Cameron Mathison deserves to be on the list. He's terrible and has actually gotten worse as an actor over the years.

Damn straight, they think if anyone has an opinion other than theirs, well, it's just wrong. Their word is gospel.

I think there are others more deserving to be on that list before some of the others. Nelson probably thought that Vail was safe to proclaim as a hair model.

I wonder why Eva Marcille didn't make the list?

TOTALLY disagree with him on Jake Silbermann -- and it's funny that Nelson had Jake on the 'Most Improved Actors' list a few months ago... oh, Nelly boy. You never do let me down. :rolleyes:

The personal jab was also completely uncalled for and unprofessional-- anyone that was aboard the RTS Cruise can attest to the fact that Nelson is a two-faced little... oh wait. I don't want to get on his level.

I agree with most of his picks sans Bloom. i tend to hate Vail Bloom when she's prosecuting someone because the writers never give her a justification for going after people she knows.

As for Crystal - I have been reading so much about her performance on OLTL that I had to check her out on YouTube. I'm not a OLTL watcher but I liked the setup for her character (I read about soaps I don't watch, for some odd reason). And I LOVE a good villainess and I saw Hunt on GL when it was tolerable. So I watched the YOuTube clip where she blackmailed Gigi. It was OK. i see what Nelson and the rest are saying. she's very uncomitted in the role and seems to be a little concerned with the audience likes her. I think of my fave villians from the past and they all were fierce and dominating (think early Phyllis, early Sheila, early Sami). But Hunt just doesn't have the balls for such a complex character. But i wouldn't put her in the ranks of the girls who who play Steffy or Daisy or Ashlee. they're truly horrible.

And where's Bryton!? He's pathetic as an actor and don't tell me "he's won an emmy!" - cause so did Justin Torkildson (Rick, B&B). And he was just gross!

Vail Bloom is a decent actress. And hoenstly, its not event hat she is miscast as heather -- heater is misplaced as the ADA.

Molly B has actually become a decent actress herself. i wouldnt say shes great by any means, but she is ok. Now that they have tones Melanie down and given her some layers Molly has improved.

Caitlin Van Zandt and Jacqueline MacInnes Wood are great examples of why this list sucks. The actress' are not bad -- the charcters suck and the storylines are unwatchable.

and Bonnie Dennison ownes this. She is Charity Rehamr status bad.

The only reason why Nelson even mentioned Vail is because Jamey Giddens hates her. Otherwise, he would say nothing. In the week that Jamey said he saw some improvements in Sursok, Nelson immediately said it too.

I agree with whoever said that they share the same brain. They kinda copy stuff off of each other.

      Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.

      Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

      Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
