Lily (Y&R)- I don't have anything against the actress per say, but I think the way the actress portrays Lily is not true to how the character should be developed (it's not the writing it's the way the actress plays it). IMHO the character should show more maturity

Victoria (Y&R)- While I like AH. Her Victoria doesn't command in quite the way I feel the character has been built over the years to do

Y&R

Cane Ashby

Victoria Hellstrom

Lily Winters

Tyra Hamilton

Colleen Carlton

I don't really feel like explaining because I've said it a million times. The bottom line is that each of these actors either don't fit the role or just don't know how to act.

Victoria, Y&R

I am more than convinced after watching today's show. I don't dislike AH, she just isn't Victoria and I hated the way she played those boardroom scenes today, no commanding presence at all. There was always this idea that Nick was more like Nikki and Victoria was more like Victor, and I don't see a bit of Victor in AH's Victoria. The character is too important to be this inconsequential or ineffective.

What a HUGE mistake to get rid of Davetta Sherwood, she gave Lily interest and depth. I was quite happy to have her replace CK.. I couldn't believe CK returned to the role. What a bummer because for me, she's taken the life out of the role, and makes "Cane" seem like an even bigger DUD. Cane and Lily put me to sleep!

OLTL:

• Starr (the role needs to be visually aged. Plus tall ass Todd and tall ass Blair would have a tall ass daughter. Not only does she look like she's 13, but KA is too short for the role now.)

• Natalie (if they're going to insist on keeping this clown around, then a better actress is needed)

• Destiny (woof)

• Matthew (Though EA is *finally** starting to get better, after what felt like eons of him seeming like he should be at Summer camp instead, still, I wouldn't be upset to see him go that Matthew can be aged up to higher HS level.)

• Gigi (someone less hokey, please.)

• Rex (someone less gay...err..."metrosexual.")

• Cristian (DF reminds me of Lurch from the Addam's Family. A total zombie. I'll never understand why TPTB keep him around and court him when he tries to leave.)

    • 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. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
    • Sally Spencer was a decent actress, but the writing destroyed the "M.J." that Kathleen Layman had built. Layman had a quiet strength about her, and she and Osburn really felt like sisters. Spencer's character should have been either an unmentioned sister, or maybe Jake's that grew up close to Kathleen, M.J. and the rest, but was away for a few years before joining the force. Kristen Marie was o.k., but I always got a mousier vibe from her. Being pigeon-holed with Scott for most of the run hurt things for her, as well.  The Loves were also underserved between Rhonda Lewin and Philece Sampler. Philece would have been better as Nicole. Thank goodness Anne Heche  showed up for the next round of auditions. Christopher Holder was mediocre as Peter, but given a shot, I think Marcus Smythe could have stuck around for a while.  I would have had Peggy Lazarus be a Frame -- possibly an ex-wife for Vince with an agenda. Smythe and Hollen had  a fun chemistry that could have kept the two around.. Bringing recasts for  Cheryl and Ben back mixing it up with other Frames. Corys, Lawrences at the time might have kept all the families stronger. 
    • shoot...he said in that Locher room with Krista. I think he met her before that---she was doing Broadway and they had mutual friends or an agent maybe?
