She is just terrible, but I doubt they'll get rid of her. Clearly they have plans for Mac and unless Ashley Bashioum could return, why risk another recast? If Tammin Sursok didn't go anywhere, then you know Clemmy is here to stay. It's a shame.

Bland, lifeless..... its just hard to watch really. No emotion on her face hardly. I am not sure if that is what they were going for? She makes Rachel Kimsey look awesome.... who was also horribly miscast.

I'm still not sure why Mac was needed on the canvas, especially right now. Billy already had enough story, all her presence does is put a big neon sign over what an inconsistent characterization he has now.

Mac can have story without being involved with Billy. That's part of the reason why I'm glad

is coming back soon. IDK how much good it would do since it's only short-term, but I'm willing to see. I finally get to watch everyday now that university is out, so I'm hoping CF can improve...but idk...she's just boring.

I wish the writers would remember that. The Mac/Billy redux is a totally bad idea, and I hate that they keep forcing it.

I also can't help but think with the constant choices we see being made, that it's not something coming from Y&R (the one note yelling of Eden when she first came on--director choices, not actor choices. I liked CF in L Word and know she's got potential for a LOT more--which makes me think this is is a choice of Y&R.

And yea, as long as some others have hung on, I don't want CF going anywhere.

I think they view Mac and Billy as some use of history, and as an extension of Billy, as many of the women at the moment are just offshoots of the male characters. There's potential for Mac in other stories, if they try.

It's not necessarily about being a bad actress (maybe she is I don't know I havn't seen her anywhere else), but while I love that she internalizes most of Mac's intense emotions she also has to learn where the character sparks and spark thoose characteristics and moments up as fully necessary. She's not doing that, her scene with Billy today was bad and awkward I'm sorry to say. No director could have wanted that, that was more of the best they could get and keep it moving

She needs to be put in scene with guys that aren't Billy right now. They aren't working.

& I don't care what the Chloe haters say. I'm talking to ya'll Lamers who can get over that Chloe broke up your boring couple for a couple of months. Which to me they wasn't broken up because they still was bumping into each other & longing for one other.

I don't dislike her I'm remembering the original Mac not the 2.0 version she was somewhat "stoic"

and dramatically I can deal with this kind of character. I know people like this...

She "reminds" me more of her...I need to see some vintage clips of the original Mackenzie.

I was younger then so my perception is that of that time so I'd like to see her now...

I just want to give her more time to settle into the role

I think acting off Billy, and some of the stellar actors on the canvas will benefit her...I just

don't want to rush to judgement and be supportive and not boo her off the stage

...not saying that you don't have a legit

issue...I just want to give her more time. I like the actress (and her mom).

I do like them bringing Mac back though, I like how it shakes things up

storywise Billy is not in love with Chloe so Mac coming back only accentuates this for me...

    • I think Cheryl was essentially replaced by Josie, and it seems likely that Lemay wanted to bring the Frames back into the picture and for a variety of reasons that it would be McKinnons who would make way for them. Cheryl didn't really get many layers -- she was pretty and kind and sweet and faded into the background so that Scott could participate in the AIDS storyline with Dawn. Looking at the AWHP, other than (not very) shockingly being in love with her mother's adopted son Scott, Cheryl apparently went out with Sam and flirted with much-too-old-for-her John Hudson and MJ's ex-boyfriend/pimp Chad. I know MJ told Mary that she had been a prostitute, but did she tell Cheryl and did she tell anyone about Chad's pimping?   
    • I feel the same way about Melissa Reeves' Jennifer. She just makes the show feel like home by her presence alone. I am perfectly okay with them coming in every once and awhile, which probably fits Reeves' schedule better anyway. They're connections to Salem are still there: JJ, the grandkids, Jack still owning half of The Spectator ... they're perfect recurring characters.
    • Hahaha. Jean Hackney, Angelica Nero, and the Falcon Crest henchwomen were all straight out of a James Bond movie.
    • My hunch is what you've described. JFP is likely back working on transitioning the show to a new studio and embracing new technology for its production model.
    • The woman who was the co-chair of Latinas for Trump is now complaining about his targeting immigrants that she thought were "safe." I also read a puff piece from yet another "insider" journalist who lives to normalize fascists - this one with a tech bro who was venting off the record because he thought voting for Trump was cool and would show up the Democrats and maybe we'd get Greenland, but now he's getting upset.  These people still support Trump, and Republicans, they just want to make sure they get credit for being respectable. And they will get it.
    • I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.
    • It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.  
    • The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl. 
    • Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well. 
    • I like to call her an FC-reject character
