Why the hell is Cane in Chloe's fantasy? I thought she never really loved him.

[DeeeDee]

Khan: "Oh Honey" +1.

Some of the actors (Hendrickson, Miller, Graziadei, James, Driscoll, Ford, Ali, Luckinbill, Rylan) are talented but between the agendas & the horrible writing there's nothing there to help them develop as actors or characters.

Then there are those who were just miscast and/or unnecessary (Scottie Pippen, Goddard, Reigel, Branson, Rikaart, O'Brien, Bethel) that could easily be fixed by recast (Riegel, Scottie Pippen) or cutting them (Branson, Rikaart, O'Brien, Bethel).

+1

Oh, my, now this I It says something about Sherwood (and Khalil for that matter) that she played the part for a mere 9 months and yet here we all are, 3 1/2 years later, still pining for her return. She, simply put, was greatness.

As for Y&R, WTF am I watching? Seriously, we lose Bethel & Driscoll, but we're stuck with Bianca & Adam & Nilly & Victwhoria & D(umb)A(ss) & DeacannotfitonY&R & Kevinsane & Janatone & Blabby & Cindy Brady & Julia Robers' brother & Scott Hamner & Hogan Sheffer (who is just writing the wrong show IMO) & Shrilly & Cane't Act & worst of all, the role of Katherine Chancellor is now being written as Salt of the Earth Do Gooder instead of Crazy Ex-Alcoholic Bitch.

Up until & even during some of LML, Y&R was the most consistent show on the air. You could tune out & tune back in & count on seeing all of your old favorites & a good confrontation within the episode or at worst, the week. Now, everyone is so polite & just tip toes around each other & you only get confronted if you're completely psychotic or you get under Chloe's skin. It's a bunch of wretched sh!t that just ain't worth my time anymore.

Honestly, I only watch for Jill & Nina.

[DeeeDee]

Give it time.

She will be back to bedhead in a week.

[juniorz1]

Double Post. But I will add that I forgot to mention Jonathan Lavery, who sucked on AMC, won an EMMY for the role of Shayne Lewis (HUH?) on GL, and now has walked into the typical "dude with balls" role that Sheffer loves to write so much. I'd ask who'd he f*ck to receive these accolades & breaks but dude is FUGLY so it's just a big WTF? for me. I'd scratch my head, but I refuse to lose any hair over such a nonentity as Jeff Branson.

[Cheap21]

at this point, Im willing to take one for the team, but ya'll owe me BIG time.

exactly. If she were any other black chick, they'd put a wig or hat on her and call it a day. Clearly, she's not letting them touch her head.

[DeeeDee]

:wub: :wub:

+1. And Katherine.

[juniorz1]

:lol:

And here I thought (at first) the chick was NotDru & her bf or something. Then I realized they were just a couple of dayplayers dancing.

[lovely_m]

Beer pong Victoria? Ryan McNeil is thanking God and Tricia Dennison that he's dead and not with her.

[dm.]

Yes, yes, yes!

[bellcurve]

LOL @ Eden Riegel trying to be sexy.

She's so pathetic.

[Cat]

I like Branson. Call me crazy, but I think there is room for both Chance and Ronan

The fact that they are such different personalities interacting together opens up tremendous SL opportunities.

Chance and Mac (remember her?) got thrown under the bus -- there to make other characters look better. I have a feeling Mac is currently heading into a "Make Lily & Cane look great" moment.

And ITA about Stephen Nichols. I loveloveLOVE him, have done since the Patch days of the late 80s, he wowed me as Stefan on GH. I think he's deinitely a Daytime superstar and a great actor. But he cannot work wonders on flat-out NOTHING. And Tucker was ill-conceived from the start. And by "ill-conceived" I mean that Hogan came up with the name "Tucker McCall" and that was it.

Ashley was exactly who I was thinking of for Chance! If Patty Jane hadn't turned into a babbling schizophrenic paranoid with the mental age of 5, I would have suggested her for Chance, too -- mainly because of this:

Get out of my head. You have no idea... I've been wishing that for three YEARS now. Ever since Roxane walked in on Tyra and Devon.

[dm.]

Yeah, it's pathetic what they've turned Heather into. The few scenes that I've seen of her were just bad. I immediately regret even watching that one scene that I downloaded the entire episode for.
