LOL...looks are subjective....I think CM (granted I never watch his show) looks freaky...he always looks,uh orange instead of tan, he has a ridiculously high forehead, his eyes or too close together, his body looks like he should be dancing for Chippendale's, and to top it all off he opens his mouth and you hear this squeeky high voice....CM should play a soap actor in a satirical sketch, not actually be one (having said that I am sure he gets more ass then Iw will ever see!) ...a friend used to watch that show and always called him "Franken-tan!"

And now I know he overacts!!

Anyway, yes, the list of GL overactors of course includes Zimmer, but dont forget Justin Deas...the yelling spitting, talking over other actors lines, the spinning freaking windmill arms, the over the top reaction to everything...I just wanted someone to say..."Uh,Buzz, shut the [!@#$%^&*] up for a change!" but the soap press goes on and on about what a great actor he is. I do think it is funny that in his last GL interview he does tell us that Bruce Barry finally told him to pull it back, and Deas got pissed and walked through the next three years,which, were the quietest time on GL since he darkened the studio doorway. Unfortunatley, mugging was the order of the day for GL during Wheeler, Ricky Paull Goldin would mug his way through his lines, and BE, when she wasnt being an schreiking harpy, was rolling her eyes, mugging for the camera, talking in a baby voice, and generally wearing a sign that says, "Aint I CUTE!" and she has the nerve to critcize her fellow actors???

Please let's not forget Roger Howarth , the Two-Trick Pony. He either stares directly ahead, zombie-like, oblivious to whoever he is "acting" with, or else he goes into Pure Ham Mode, where he sputters and screams like a banshee.

    • In a way, it's a shame that Lynne Adams decided to leave the show when she did, because I think Mike and Leslie were positioned very well to become GL's tentpole couple.
    • Correct. Lynne Adams (Leslie) decided she wanted to leave the show, as Leslie hadn't been given much to do since Adams returned as Leslie in 1973 (and now everyone can witness her first scene returning as Leslie in 1973 on YT - unreal) I don't think the Dobsons tried to stop that from happening, as I think they wanted Mike single again. I agree, @DeeVee - they should have let Mike and Leslie have a child together. I wonder it they thought it would be too strange to have two siblings that could also be cousins

      . As far as Ed and Holly go, at least they allowed Ed to show up at the end of TGL and take Holly on a "trip around the world". IMHO, I don't think Peter Simon had as much chemistry with Maureen Garrett as Mart Hulswit had, but I'm glad the show gave them a final scene together.
    • IF this gets a renewal I can't see LY sticking around    
    • Well, I'm glad to know Devane and I are on the same wavelength, lol.  But seriously.  I don't believe there's any other word to describe the machinations that the producers constructed in the name of keeping Greg and Paige apart.  Greg and Paige made Sam and Diane look mature by comparison! Which would have been just as well, since a character like Greg Sumner didn't really belong in the '90's, as the storyline with the task force proved only too well.  If KL had returned for another season, it would've needed a MASSIVE overhaul, including ditching Greg, Paige, Claudia and Anne.  Mack and Karen would've needed to be there for the sake of continuity; and maybe some mileage could've been gained from exploring Gary's new life as a widowed single father.  (I still would've loved to bring back Julie Harris and have Lilimae help Gary take care of the twins).  Otherwise, it would've been a new era for KL, one without The Sumner Group, or stories like Wolfbridge and Empire Valley.

    • Didn't she know when she involved him in her scheme, before the character was introduced? I thought she tracked down Janice's son and poisoned his mind against Rachel in order to get him on board.  It's a bit confusing because in the summer of 1988 we get a lot of Drew Marsten (whom I had forgotten was Nicole's ex) and mentions of a mysterious Countess and also Reginald working to undermine Cory. Drew disappears around the same time Evan arrives, and gradually we get the reveals that he is in cahoots with Iris, Janice's son, etc. 
    • I apply totally different standards. For Felicia & anyone else in Bay City it's reel as opposed to out here in the universe where it's real.
