Members Ann_SS Posted June 5, 2009 Members Share Posted June 5, 2009 I simply do not like Sarah Brown as an actress. I didn't like her as Carly or as Julia v.2 on ATWT and don't like her as Claudia. I actually think that it has hurt GH to have her back in another role other than Carly. It is jarring to have her playing original Carly as a new character with Laura Wright as Carly with a different personality. It is unfettered craziness and bad judgment on the part of Guza and Phelps as was killing off Emily and bringing back NL as Rebecca. They are asking too much of the audience which already has to suspend every single facet of reality to watch GH. All this being said, we are stuck with her and I do like how Claudia is making Sonny, Jason and Carly's lives miserable. Hope she keeps it up. Welcome to All Sonny's Children. It is going to be a looooong summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SalemPlace Posted June 5, 2009 Members Share Posted June 5, 2009 Claudia said the other day that Michael is 16. I laughed and thought, that's funny he was 12 a year ago. I don't know about Kristina yet but she looked older and she is supposed to be younger than Michael. On a side not I will miss the last Kristina. She really was the cutest little girl.

Members tina m Posted June 5, 2009 Members Share Posted June 5, 2009 I do like the new Kristina. I think she can finally become part of the show and Alexis/Sonny's lives instead of seeing her once or twice a month out for ice cream with her nanny. She came across very manipulative to Jason, showing her true side, but I can only hope there's a likability factor to her a well. I hope this can turn around some of these storylines, should be interesting. Ethan and Rebecca..! I heard about this, but it's very interesting...

Members Cheap21 Posted June 5, 2009 Members Share Posted June 5, 2009 they are too close in age. Since they were SORASing, they should have had Michael at 17 and Kristina at 13. That would have been much more buyable. This new girl looks like she's 15 or 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted June 6, 2009 Members Share Posted June 6, 2009 Well the character is apparently a sophomore in high school so she should be 15 or 16... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Southofnowhere Posted June 6, 2009 Members Share Posted June 6, 2009 Things i want to know about Kristina? Does she know what her Father does to make all his cash? Why is Alexis all up in Nicks Chilli instead of making sure her teen daughter isn't hanging at clubs? Why doesn't Kristina even have a hint of Latin blood? Did she even know her half brother just came out of 1 year coma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted June 6, 2009 Members Share Posted June 6, 2009 Yes to number 4. Can't really answer the other 4, although I think she could pass for a 1/2 Latina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 6, 2009 Members Share Posted June 6, 2009 So, who else saw Nathalia Livingston's nipples on Friday's episode when she was wearing that white dress? I must say, it was probably the most interesting she's ever been on screen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taiah Posted June 6, 2009 Members Share Posted June 6, 2009 She had a titilating moment but nothing about NL is interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DavidEvanSmith Posted June 7, 2009 Members Share Posted June 7, 2009 We didn't see Kristina with Alexis... this WAS her debut, right? I didn't at first think we were supposed to know why Jason was plucking this girl from this after hours club, and then they revealed she was Kristina. Kristina must know what Sonny does because she knows Michael was shot and she called Jason her "dad's number one flunkie". From Kristina's talk about Alexis, she seems to have her mother wrapped around her finger, and could play out, word for word, how conversations with her mother would go, through Kristina's lies. This was intercut with scenes of Alexis talking about how Kristina has straight As, wants to go to Yale, and is "the perfect daughter". So we were obviously being shown that Kristina was far from perfect and things weren't what they seem with Kristina. I thought Kristina could pass for half-latin. I actually think she's got an interesting mix of looks between Alexis and Sonny. She has dark, penetrating eyes like Sonny, a wider nose, like Alexis, and she's smart and intense. I was very intrigued by her. It was explained that she never visited Michael during the coma because Alexis deemed it would be "too upsetting" for Kristina to see him that way, but I got the impression that Kristina didn't mind not seeing him. As for casting, I've been VERY impressed with Michael and Kristina... two young performers who can most definitely act. I really liked what the actress did in scenes with Kristina where she would hit a wall and shut down, with a line like "I don't want to talk about it anymore" or "I'm bored. Drive me home." She would have this cold, detached expression and it was truly fascinating to watch. Really intrigued by Kristina. And Drew Garrett is definitely connecting well to his character. The emotional outbursts DO bring a lot of emotion, where a lesser actor would just be yelling. I think he's handling this brain damage/coma stuff better than Steve Burton did all those years ago.

Members jcar03 Posted June 7, 2009 Members Share Posted June 7, 2009 Did the writers forget the plot point where Sonny signed away his parental rights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 9, 2009 Members Share Posted June 9, 2009 (insert comment about how Guza hates history) Poor Paige. A woman who we only knew as dying of breast cancer and being dearly devoted to her daughter Emily. Now turned into some type of monster in order to prop one of the worst characters ever on GH, Rebecca. Ethan somehow manages to be even worse than Natalia Livingston. Now that takes talent.

Members Ann_SS Posted June 9, 2009 Members Share Posted June 9, 2009 What can you do? I swear, I don't even get worked up any more. I have decided that my memories of GH cannot be destroyed by the disdain that Guza has for GH's history. Paige was so wonderful. We knew her for a short time, but her devotion to Emily shone through in every scene. It is impossible that Paige could have ever sold one of her children so I am ignoring everything that I heard today. No words for the poor acting from Natalia Livingston and Nathan Parson in their scenes. What was with the huge necklace and earring that Parsons was wearing? He has got to stop borrowing Tony Geary's jewelry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 9, 2009 Members Share Posted June 9, 2009 I know I shouldn't be this disgusted by the constant crapping on history, especially after we learned at the beginning of NL's run that breast cancer is cured by true love (and horrible acting). That offensive story should have told me of the respect for the history of Emily and Paige and breast cancer victims. But still I never imagined they would trash a woman who died 15 years ago, a woman who was only ever known for being a rock to Monica and trying to provide her daughter with a good home. Guza keeps sinking to lower and lower lows. If this were out of some type of creativity I might have some sympathy, but no, it's just endless propping because NL is a bust on her return. I think they should just have Ethan start dressing like Mrs. Roper from Three's Company. He could just say constant drunken bouts are why he's hard to understand. Luke and Mr. Roper aren't that far apart these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members detroitpiston Posted June 9, 2009 Members Share Posted June 9, 2009 Ethan & Rebecca flashback scenes were HORRIBLE! Really bad acting from NP & NL. NuKristina's great. She and KeMo look a lot alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
