Nikki & Adam would really fcuk with Victor's head.

I feel really excited for the new Adam because the actor seems so genuinely excited. His twitter is just full of him seeming very happy to be a part of the show.

he posted this on Thursday:

What exactly is Adam going to do now? Cause I doubt this guy would openly call kissing another man as perverse.

I think Sharon Case is a pretty laughable actress. I mean, she's not horrible but seeing her soap opera cry for the past 6 months has become too much. I thought Joshua Morrow was far better than her during Cassie's death, it didn't help that Sharon was barely shown grieving her daughter at the time (it was all about Nick's pain, which pissed me off). But yeah, she's slightly better than Katherine Kelly Lang to me.

Honestly I think JM and SC wouldn't be half as watchable if they didn't have Peter Bergman and Michelle Stafford to carry them. Not for a second do I believe Sharon loves Jack but I sure as hell believe Jack loves her. Pathetically so. Same with Nick and Phyllis, I believe Nick wants to [!@#$%^&*] her brains out but to love her? Yeah right.

I so disagree! SC has digged really deep and brought an intense, almost epic portrayal of a woman on the verge. When she was stealing random stuff, irrationally lashing out at Nick then the next moment leaning on him for support, she was electric and believeable. Even my roomate who hates soaps, saw her one day and was like - "what's she doing on a soap? She can act!" Of course ?I politely bitch-slapped her for the dig on soaps, but SC is doing brilliantly.

ESPECIALLY Adam. The son of VICTOR NEWMAN. You must have some clue there might be a dark side. And you must relish it.

I feel, in the beginning, Engen liked playing "snarky" at Newman Enterprises. But I guess that was as far as he was willing to go.

I'll take MS and PB's scene a few years ago where he found out about the Phlick affair over any of SC's handwringing. I think it's all pretty melodramatic, I keep waiting for the organ music.

I totally agree with the point that Sharon doesn't love Jack an IOTA. She clings to him as a provider...not necessarily of $$, but of stability, step-fathership, whatever. I remember when Sharon was falling apart in his arms a few weeks ago, PB said "I've never loved you more than I do at this moment." And then they f*cked.

PB's Jack is very, very sick...twisted...but in a wonderful way. He gets off on weak women. At least on weak Sharon. Interesting.

I agree with you, Cashton. Right now, I see Sharon, and I totally believe she is falling apart. She accomplishes this without histrionics, IMO, which I appreciate even more.

Really? I'll have to look more closely. I've really felt the absence of melodrama from her...but maybe I'm not looking close enough.

I'm pretty sure it's just Sharon because he desperately wanted to stay with Phyllis and she is far from weak (when not with Nick). I think having two weak-willed partners has made Jack and Phyllis come off as just sad.

Has an episode gone by without Sharon crying and looking like she wants to kill herself? I'm surprised she's able to dress herself in the morning.

To each his own baby! But she's upped her game so much this year. I wish MAB would write some more comedy for SC. Remember the Phyllis fantasy of Sharon with Nick? That was hillarious. And SC with Dru was so gold too.

Well, PB is definitely pathetic with SC. No denying. I view it as "just desserts" for all the evil sh!t that dude has done the last few years.

No. But I thought that was good acting :lol: My mistake :)

I agree with you, except for the bolded part.

I mean, I thought both actresses did what they could with that. If they had had a few more years together, I think it would have been one of the best female friendships.

But they kind of put them together as an insta-friendship (borne of a shared hatred for Phyllis). I never really bought the foundation of their friendship. Still, both actresses were great together, and the loss of the friendship is another reason I'm sorry VR left.

I have always found it a missed opportunity that Sharon did not remain a confidante of Neil/Lily/Devon's...not taking Dru's place, but trying to be there for the family. Had they done that...organically...over years...I think something could have evolved between Neil and Sharon.

I'm sorry but the Winters should HATE Phyllis. There should be a rivalry there. If CK could do more, Lily should have some vendetta against Phyllis. Not that it was Phyllis's fault for Dru going off the cliff, but I just don't think that Lily should be doing photo shoots with Phyllis and stuff. There should be some subtext between these two women.

    • 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. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
