I think Rick Hearst and Christian Leblanc are probably two of the most loved actors in daytime right now. People just can't get enough of them, and these two multi-talented actors bring their character(s) alive, and draws the audience in with basically every performance they deliver. They have the wit, charm, and charisma(with co-stars) all combined into one. I think at these two defintely rank up there with the greatest actors of daytime. EVER! Not to mention both are deserving Emmy Winners! Not to mention these two maintain a friendship offscreen too! It was long overdue but these two are definitely two of daytimes BEST! B)

Also, there leading ladies are damn fine and damn talented! Lucky bastards :P

What an amazing Talent CJLB is, awesome monologue...

"This isn’t the way it’s supposed to be. I’m not supposed to be here like this. This is wrong, this is so wrong. I object. [grief filled laughter quickly turns to painful tears] How did this happen, sweetie? How did a guy like me get to be married to an incredible woman like you? For a little while anyway. It wasn’t so long, was it? I wonder what it would have been like if we had met each other all those years ago, ya know. When I was…when I wasn’t so good. I wonder if you would have hated me? I hope not. You wouldn’t have liked me. Nobody liked me, not even me. I don’t think you would have hated me, I don’t. I do think that you would have walked right up to me and would have looked me right straight in the eyes and you would’ve… you would have given me that look and you would have said “You’re a sad man, Michael Baldwin. You are a man full of sadness.” And you would’ve killed me right there. I wonder if I would have been smart enough to fall in love with you right then? You were right. You would have been completely right. I don’t think I was ever truly happy until I met you. You changed everything, you changed it all. Everyday was special. The world was amazing, it was amazing just because you were there. The most amazing thing about it was that you loved me. For the rest of my life I will be so proud to say that my name is Michael Baldwin and I am the man that Lauren Fenmore loved. For a little while. [breaks down into tears] I know I’m supposed to be making the best of this, I know I’m supposed to…look at the bright side. But how am I supposed to do that? How am I supposed to find what’s good in losing you? How am I supposed to accept the fact that I will never feel the touch of your hand again or see your smile or hear your laugh? I can’t do this, I can’t! I can’t. I won’t."

oh YAY, Chad! What an awesome thread! I love both Christian and Rick!

Rick is so [!@#$%^&*] sexy to me and he's a damn good actor! I love him.

With Christian, there are no words. I truly think he is a terrific actor and definitely one of my favorites on Y&R.

I think Christian is a good actor but I think he overdues his emotions sometimes. I'm not really used to him crying all the time so I guess I'm sorta taken aback by all it. I do like his character on Y&R, though, and I hope him and Lauren stay on and have future stories. It's nice to have an older couple besides Nikki and Victor and I definitely think he deserved his emmys.

    • I’ve reached the summer of 1998.  Until now, my impression has been that the show has steadily improved since the great quality dip of 1994, reaching as high as 8/10 in 1997. Sure, I could complain about a few things in 1997 (Claudia got wasted after her initial storyline; Thorne’s feelings for Taylor were a bit too sudden; the storyline where Sheila lived with James and Maggie while pregnant got rather boring; Mike periodically revisiting Sheila despite being on the run from authorities), but overall it was a very strong year.  I liked the Thorne/Taylor/Ridge triangle, the mystery plot about who shot Grant, the sham wedding to trap Sheila, Stephanie/Eric/Lauren, and Clarke manipulating his way back to working at Forrester. I even liked the Greenland storyline with Eric/Lauren/Rush, although I had expected to hate it. Maybe 1996 tops 1997 in raw soapy excitement (especially as Sheila got a chance to interact with a larger canvas of characters), but some problems with overall storyline cohesion puts it somewhat below 1997 for me. Unfortunately, 1998 has turned out to be a bit of a speedbump, perhaps on par with 1995 levels of quality: - Maggie’s character really got trashed after James left her to be with Sheila, and the early 1998 storylines where she imprisoned Sheila in the house from Psycho, or installed those wires and mikes and such in her house to make her think she’s going crazy, were total GARBAGE. So much so that the latter storyline (and Maggie with it) pretty much disappeared into a limbo.  - I have mixed feelings about the twins plotline with Lauren. No way did Rush survive being shot with a crossbow through the chest, and the romance between Lauren and Rush’s good twin brother Johnny was rather dry to me. I did however enjoy the camp aspect of Rush taking his brother’s place to be with Lauren, and Eric rescuing her. But it doesn’t appear like Bell cared too much about the Johnny/Lauren romance beyond the twin storyline gimmick, and it too disappeared in an unsatisfactory manner (come on, why not hire Johnny’s actor for just 5 more episodes for an arc where he realizes Lauren is not over Eric, or JUST SOMETHING?) - Clarke wormed his way back to FC in late 1997, which had exciting storytelling potential, but then he disappeared almost entirely. Sad to see my favorite character wasted in this manner. Does he get anything interesting to do between now and the Morgan saga of 2000-2001? - The Thomas saga was entertaining in 1997, but it got stretched out too much, and made some of early 1998 tiresome, with Ridge having to decide YET AGAIN which woman he wants to be with. On the plus side, I like the plotline of Thorne being neighbors with Macy and Grant, and we’ve finally been introduced to the SORASed Rick/Amber/CJ crowd. The Stephanie/James/Sheila triangle is also starting, and it makes me excited (I remember seeing some if it in my childhood). I know Sheila, Grant, and James are all leaving soon, which I honestly kind of dread - between them and Clarke’s near-absence, it feels like herd is going to get culled too much in the near future. But I know there’s the familiar 1999-2002 to look forward to.
    • LOL - this is a perfect description, and that's what I loved about it! May be a bit campy, but it immediately caught my attention in a good way.  I'm not familiar with the Fishing Trip storyline, I'll have to look that up. I've noticed that about Josh, which has made him less attractive to me overall. He just yells a lot when he's not happy. Wow, Reva was married to HB!  LOL - "Always... eventually, and again"
    • I love your ideas. I would love to see Jack grown up this confused unhinged individual. He should hold a grudge against both Brooke and Taylor.

    • Lois's return has been a bust. So disappointing that the writers have never written for her. As with Tracy, the pool of GH vets is so thin, there's no one to pair her with. Doubtful they would go to the trouble of properly recasting a legacy character and then sticking  him with Lois; they're obviously not that invested. If she wants to be on this show, it'll be as a noisy grandma who stays in the background. 
    • I love me some Anita and TT. They need to give her a good storyline and I know that it's coming. 
    • @Franko Thanks for tagging me. A few days ago I was talking in another thread about the rise of "snarky" critics for TV shows in the '90s online recaps, but this is just more along the lines of a mauling. There's also the unspoken reality that films like Steel Magnolias were seen as movies for women, so therefore they sucked. Pauline Kael also had her share of blunt, at times incredibly nasty remarks, but the vitriol is often balanced by her love for film. I'm not seeing that here.  With that said, the comment about Field's work becoming unbearable describes how I felt when I tried to sit through her and Maura Tierney on ER. 
    • I skipped most of Daniel too. I think it's awful he has kids with Nicole, Csrky5 and Chloe and Brady, Bo and Philip do not.
