Oh Gawd..Jana sucks!! I hate the actress and the character. She needs to go back to Aussie land and never be heard of again.

I guess I will have to post him here then. ^_^ You were pathetic..... :lol:

Wow. I see there is a whole side of SON that I will never be a part of :lol: :lol:

Clearly you saw right through me on that one. :P Kevin/Jana have their moments, but I'm ready for her to go.

Please don't do it. Just let what was meant to be private stay private.

There was nothing positive about the Engen story. Most fans liked him as Adam which means some fans now hate him for being a "homophobe" and are annoyed at having a recast (no matter how good the recast is) or some fans now hate the show for Adam's next story arc and are annoyed at having a recast. It's pretty much lose-lose although all us on SON are rooting for MM to make lemonade out of lemons. The Engen story also drowned out what should have been happy happy buzz about TB's return.

Vail Bloom is very unfairly maligned. Would Christel Khalil or any other young girl know how to play Heather? I said on another thread that VB would make a great Lulu on GH or Belle on Days. She would be a great sweet little princess foil for Ali Sweeney's Sami. There's only one Genie Francis, but VB has the same natural prettiness and soft manner. There's a place for her on a show that knows how to use her. Too bad she's too old for Colby on AMC, because that's another natural role for her.

The only women Kevin ever had sexual chemistry against are Lily and AL's Colleen. If anyone should be coming out the closet it's Kevin.

Another bad choice of words. :P

He was always so positive, and as soon as he got so negative...

She is so domineering in their relationship that it's crazy... it's as if she's an elderly woman and he is her boy toy. But a very young boy toy.

Double take.

Adam? Kevin and Adam?? Really?

I love Emily O'Brien, I really do, even if her Jana is watered down. But I see no room to grow for Jana and Kevin, except the obligatory having-babies drama.

I think Kevin, widowed at an early age...never able to hold on to happiness...has oodles of potential.

Yes!

I'm not that hard to please. I thought their make out scene in the elevator a couple of weeks ago was kind of hot. I do think Kevin would work a little bit better with someone else though. I feel like the writers are nver really going to give Jana much. They seem more invested in Amber, Chloe and Mac.

This thread gets so personal - not like we're discussing homophobia. And by the way - if they ever gave Vail as meaty a storyline as they gave Tammin, the comparison would be fair. But to date, they have not. The writing for her character is the problem, not the actress. She's been forced into this extremely mature role and made to be so cold and unfeeling that she can hardly have interactions with anyone in her age range.

i think everyone can agree on this though - it's summer, get this woman back in a bikini!!

True. She's playing a very hated character, so there is no room for actually liking her. That's the writers fault - they're not trying to build ANYTHING there.

Yeah, and the relationships he had with women (strange obsessions etc.) could all be a clue. This could have been something, but I don't know if Rikaart would want to play that.

You clearly haven't "followed" Alvin's postings around SON. There were moments of negativity & positivity. Furthermore, Alvin is an autonomous entity and God knows how many opposing view we have. Tons.

You people are incredible. And then I get depicted as nasty. See how little was needed for you, one of the (until now) most civil posters, turn into... What you've turned into.

I think they could be kind of hot. I also think Kevin and Daniel would be really hot, but it wouldn't work in terms of the characters. I guess because I'm a woman, I can find gay couples on soaps hot, but porn holds no interest to me (straight or gay). I have to be invested in the characters to find it sexy. If I care about the characters then it doesn't matter if they are straight, gay, or bi, sexy is sexy and drama is drama.

      I really don't want to see some old P&G actors on the show. To me Lindstrom and McLain have brought nothing special. The show needs to find new talent, so it has it's own identity,which overall they have. Timon, Tricia, Ambyr are breakouts. Most of the others are fine .We all know the exceptions.

      I would wager that was because it was a new character for the likes of Devon, Lily and Nate to interact with. Watching the likes of Billy fall in love again-Phyllis, Chelsea,Lily and now Sally is repetitive, especially when he is no prize. Josh doesn't really do long term couples. So every year or so they swap partners. It diminishes them as characters as they don't seem to grow or learn from the past. We know those characters so well and they've been through just about everything, so the only solution is to involve them with new characters and have them react to the newbies drama. They tried with Ashland and the Rosales but Josh dumped the latter and wrote so badly for Ashland who could have been a long term antagonist. All we got was another short lived marriage for Victoria and another accidental killing. And Josh thinks having them sit in restaraunts for the whole episode talking business, mergers, takeovers and job switching is interestring. It's not. I feel sorry for the actors who must know they are serving shite.

      If I were to cast a Soap Opera veteran as Jan.. I would have picked Krista Allen (of Days and B & B fame) since she did move to the Atlanta area in late 2023... and knows all there is about the Soap opera way of filming.  And I could see her playing Ashley's mom.

      Is the set for Lulu's new house an updated version of the set used for the childhood home of Luke, Bobbie and Pat Spencer?

      AMC: Lifetime TV Movie Franchise Announced

      By Chris B · Posted

      I feel like AMC would be the easiest of their soaps to revive but a reboot seems cursed at this point. I wish we had more insight on what was pitched for the primetime reboot as well as these movies. That would give us a better idea of why it keeps getting shot down.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Broderick · Posted

      Mansion of the Damned sure is a "talkative" horror movie.  In the past when I've watched those episodes, I was paying attention to The Edge of Night characters and not really zeroing in on the rehearsals/blocking/filming of the actual movie.  This time I've been following the plot of Mansion of the Damned pretty closely, and all I can say is Hester Atherton and Nicholas Harriman are about the most chit-chatty Witch and Devil I've ever heard in my life!

      Ashley and Derek have been so isolated that I need the show to develop something, anything to justify their presence. It's not that I think Joey being her father will be the greatest story ever told but at least it would be something and connect her to more characters. I just need the show to move forward with them. Out of all the characters, these are the only two with no storyline/development. We have recurring characters who are better used with less screentime. If the show is going to keep them on contract they need to do something with them.

      B&B: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By edgeofnik · Posted

      I never thought I'd say it, but SC is B&B's best male actor - by far. SK is next. Has there ever been a US soap that has so much female talent surrounding by Himbos? KKL, JMW, HT, KB, AN, RB could be/have been leading ladies on any other soap. Even the secondary females are the ones who carry their scenes. It's been rare periods when B&B actually had a few solid male cast members. JMW really did a great job in the scenes with AN. Considering everything we've witnessed the past couple of years with Steffy/Hope, I thought reveal may ring hollow. JMW proved me wrong. No doubt this is Emmy material.

      You won't even accept a minute cameo from Ms Marcil herself so she can collect her cheque?
