B&B: Lesley Anne Down Re-Signs for 'One More Year'

[DaytimeFan]

Lesley Anne Down has re-signed with B&B for 'one more year' according to her website. Interesting choice of words though I have a feeling they mean nothing and that LAD would happily stay with B&B for as long as they're willing to pay her.

It's interesting that she keeps signing one year contracts, this is the third one...people like Winsor Harmon sign 4 year deals without an issue.

While she certainly isn't the hit Sally Spectra was...I like LAD's Jackie. If only she was more...calculating? Devious? Chic?

[Sylph]

She doesn't know how to play that.

[DeeeDee]

You don't hire Diana Rigg to replace Lainie Kazan.

[Mr. Vixen]

I dont even remember the last time she was on...I tend to zone out anyway. Her storyline have been shittastic lately.

[DaytimeFan]

Very apt way of putting it.

[SOAPSFOREVER]

I love LAD. Glad she's staying.

[catsmeouch]

Does she play Jackie anything like Olivia Richards? Because I loved Olivia.

[DaytimeFan]

Jackie is Olivia Richards if Olivia had liked to bathe in her office. And worn blonde wigs.

Michael Logan put it best when he said Lesley Anne Down gets by on "big hair and spacey, melodramatic performances that used to pass for acting on DYNASTY." Truer words never spoken. LOL.

[Mr. Vixen]

Is Jackie still married to that younger guy? I cant even remember his name, since I fast forwarded through most of that.

[Sapounopera]

I love LAD but I think that they should model Jackie after Wilhelmina Slater instead of trying to turn her into Sally 2.0. Jackie should be married to Eric by now so that she would be connected to the Forresters. A fashion house with writer Jackie, Owen, Captain Nick and Dr Bridget just shows that Brad Bell has no idea what to do with this group.

[Sylph]

I think she just... Doesn't fit on this show. And needed to be written out ages ago. She can't play over-the-top, it all turns into a trainwreck and caricature whenever she attempts it.

[Mr. Vixen]

Agreed. Something about her is more iritating than anything else.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Lesley Anne Down is low rent trash glam that wore out her welcome on B&B years ago.

She's not particularly a good actress, adds nothing to the show, and this cougar nonsense is not funny or amusing.

[Sylph]

She just chokes and suffocates this show for no good reason. She is terrible.

And one more year of Lesley...
