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 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!
