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.)

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
    • I just watched some parts of an episode of GL where Roger has just been shot by Holly. Rita then admits to Hillary that Roger raped her. Kasdorf is such a fantastic actress. I wish there were more of her work available. 
    • -- Alex Alegria has almost a full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a large tatt on one pec. I see no indication that the show is covering up his ink,
    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Oh, yeah, and she even tried to seduce Alan, but this was his post-prison era when he was trying to prove to everyone he had changed. It's funny that of all people he didn't go for it. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
