Amelia has been severely miscast FROM DAY ONE, she even admitted this herself. She's never emotionally invested in her scenes, she has NO CHEMISTRY with ANYONE, and when they try to write her like they did Heather Tom's Victoria, she's so beyond out of her element.

She needs to go, and needed to go A LONG TIME AGO.

The writing might not be there for the character, but Heinle has never delivered and has only gotten worse with her performances over time.

That's the way the character was written, and the type of writing that won Heather Tom two Emmy's, made her a fan favourite, and a popular actress.

Heather Tom can't be blamed for the writing of her interpretation of the character, especially when she was so generally popular playing that role the way it was written.

She was written as a bitch recently when she went off on JT, and yeah, it SUCKED.

It's equal parts bad casting and bad writing. If Victoria had an actress that brought depth to the role and played her for all it was worth, the crappy writing wouldn't show quite as bad as it does with Heinle in the role.

They've tried to write the character to suit Heinle's acting abilities, and it STILL HASN'T worked.

Her role is ACTIVE right now with Bill (Don Diamont) and of course the Logans and Forrestors and I do NOT want her back.

I know because I tuned in to see Don Diamont because he was a favorite of mine and to be honest I don't like her still, nothing personal, just MY opinion and personal preference.

No disrespect intended but this is the only Soap I watch and I do NOT want Heather Tom as Victoria she has outgrown the part if you ask me, and she still looks like a child.

Victoria Newman is suppose to me older than Nick and Gina Tognoni fits the part in my opinion and I can feel it in my heart.

Besides why was she sought for the role if TPTB was NOT interested? They obviously saw ALOT of potential and more in Gina Tognoni. Here is proof Gina Tognoni is sought for the role of Victoria Newman-

This is what is so GREAT about Gina Tognoni and what is so great about her in this thread. Thank you to Bellcurve and Y&RWorldTurner for the 'youtube' video's of her and her diversity and some 'great comments' from them and Ian as well.

She also left twice and I do not see her as Victoria anymore and didn't like her as Victoria and I still feel she looks way too young now for the part. I like bitchy but I also like somebody to me who I do not find rough around the edges and that is exactly why I didn't and still do not like her as Victoria I find her to be rough, sorry but that is how I feel.

That is completely unfair sad.gif

You can see her talent, and what about the other Character's on the show who have come from different Soaps? Billy Miller, Elizabeth Hendrickson, John Driscoll and even some Veteran's.

I will NOT ever accept Heather Tom......... I would rather keep Amelia Heinle if that is how it is going to be.

I am willing to compromise and recast with somebody who is suited (Gina Tognoni) and she won't be accepted because she is from a different soap?

That makes no sense to me at all, since I listed who has come from different soaps and one the same as Gina Tognoni and some Veteran's as well from other soaps who have Emmy's under their belt.

I guess soap dreams don't come true and I thought that was what a soap is all about and quite a few Poster's as you see in the link I provided of a thread with 'youtube' clips agree Gina Tognoni would be outstanding and even improve the role as Victoria Newman.

Really sad if that is how it is.

Somehow, I don't believe that is it, because the other Actors I mentioned come from different soaps (including some Vets) and one from the same soap as Gina Tognoni which is Guiding Light.

I think she would make a smokin' Victoria too. I happen to think that is what the problem may be, only some are allowed to shine, just my opinion, when the whole show should shine and it would be to their benefit in making the soap better.

Too bad I don't watch other soaps if she happens to land a job elsewhere.

Maybe it's time I should give up The Young and the Restless after watching since the start of the show as a young child and tune into a different soap.

I know so many who have already stopped with these outrageous storyline's.

I think Ameila Heinle is a beautiful woman and a good actress, I dont mind seeing her play Victoria I think she does great when there is a meaty storyline. I did not like Heather Tom's Victoria she was too snobby, and bitchy.

Gina Togoni looks like a good actress, fiery but not snobby and looks like she would fit Victoria so I wouldnt mind Victoria being recasted with her. Im sure there are plenty of other actresses out there that is similar to GT or that would fit Victoria perfectly, its just a matter of Y&R casting the right person. :)

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
