Members Heyou Posted June 19, 2009 Members Share Posted June 19, 2009 I see! Yes, Amelia can do it but she needs to either wake the hell up or get off of the drugs so that she can return to acting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 20, 2009 Members Share Posted June 20, 2009 One of my favorite Victoria (AH) scenes. Why dont they write her more like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 20, 2009 Members Share Posted June 20, 2009 They tried to give her bitchy material, like when she went off on JT recently, and it just fell flat. She's really lazy, she was probably more inspired the day she did this scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stevie Posted June 20, 2009 Members Share Posted June 20, 2009 Amelia Heinle' is on Drugs? That's a pretty 'slanderous' statement to make, where did you read Amelia is on Drugs, where is your source? Do you have a link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted June 20, 2009 Members Share Posted June 20, 2009 I like her too, when she puts some effort into it, like in the scene Cheap21 posted above. What's to say they won't just pick up where they left off when she returns? They should have JT leave Victoria for Colleen (a lot of people still want a Jolleen reunion) and have Victoria leave town until a suitable recast is found.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 20, 2009 Members Share Posted June 20, 2009 How about recasting both Colleen and Victoria with good actresses and actresses who don't ask to leave every 5 minutes to shoot movies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cara mia Posted June 20, 2009 Members Share Posted June 20, 2009 Right now, they should just write out Victoria, JT and Colleen. If/when they find the right actresses for Vicky and/or Colleen, then they can bring them back. Send Colleen to New York to live with her mother and send Vicky & JT to Newman in Dubai. That frees up three salaries and allows the writers to focus on the remaining cast. I would also like to see Mac leave town, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted June 20, 2009 Members Share Posted June 20, 2009 I think they already do have the right Colleen. They should look into recasting Mac, Heather, Tyra (if they insist on keeping the character) and possibly Victoria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cara mia Posted June 20, 2009 Members Share Posted June 20, 2009 TS is a good actress BUT she is unable to master an American accent. I would be happy to see her on General Hospital as a long-lost Scorpio from Down Under. Yet I just can't buy her as Colleen when she sounds so very Australian.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 20, 2009 Members Share Posted June 20, 2009 Yep, and not only that, she asks to do all of these outside projects every month, and TPTB let her. So, obviously, they can't write for the character of Colleen to its full potential when the actress clearly cares about outside projects more than she cares about the show. She's very miscast as Colleen, not a resemblance to either of her on-screen parents too. Colleen is barely anything more than a glorified dayplayer anyway, and when they have her in an episode, her scenes are so short and throwaway. Had they had a more skilled and committed actress, Colleen's role as a member of the Newman Board could have been a better and bigger storyline. They don't care about the character and the actress would rather be elsewhere. I hope they come to their senses and recast Colleen or write her off for a few years. Let Tammin Sursok be free to do her outside projects and roles where she isn't miscast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted June 20, 2009 Members Share Posted June 20, 2009 They don't write for her much when she's around, so I don't blame her for taking outside roles. She has said in numerous interviews that she wishes the writers would do more with Colleen and that she would be open to heavy story. I wish they would listen.

Members moila Posted June 20, 2009 Members Share Posted June 20, 2009 I like Ameila Heinle, and i dont want her to be recast, i did not like Heather Tom. I also like Tammin Sursok. IMO they are both core characters especially Victoria i guess, but the writers do not want to write for them. It is obvious that the writers like writing for the quad/kevin/jana/amber/chloe then other characters, it is the same old characters do the same old thing and it gets boring and VERY tiring. I want these writers to be fired, the storylines are pathetic at the moment and too much cheating/sadness/craziness etc. I enjoyed the writing 2004, before, and these writers should come back. The ones that brought in the romance, and wrote for everyone, there was no unbalance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Heyou Posted June 23, 2009 Members Share Posted June 23, 2009 Per my post that you quoted at the top of this thread, you seemed to have missed the key word in my post. However, after reading spoilers of I still think that a recast of Colleen AND Victoria is necessary. Perhaps there's a reason they don't write for the character of Colleen and allow her to do outside projects. She's been there nearly two years and she still doesn't have the episode counts that Adrianne Leon had in her short time on the show. I know that you are a big supporter of Sursok's but she hasn't shown this viewer YET those acting chops that you claim she has. Yes, even I can admit that she did better, in a few scenes, during the scene where she and JT found the body but nothing noteworthy. I read somewhere the other day, and I can't remember where but it was a piece from Australia on her and they claimed she's only doing Y&R and these various outside "films" so that she can say that she's made it "big" in the states. I'll try and find the article since I'm sure you'll want to read it as proof it exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
