Randi just isn't interesting. And, clearly, the writers don't find Vasi inspiring enough to create an interesting character around her. They either need to crap or get off the can. Get rid of the character or recast her, taking Randi "in a different direction." I mean, hell. They've fired more talented actors for less!

Agreed!

Frankie is with Madison far more than he is his own wife, and there's barely been any story for Randi because she's to boring to bother watching. The writer's clearly don't know what to do with her which is why they just sent her off on a trip.

I don't think he would be disliked that much. I think he would get a hard time from the Frankie/Randi fans, but some of them seem to care about Randi more than they do him.

I think that Randi holds Frankie back and is one of the reasons why he doesn't get to be involved in that many storylines. Natalia doesn't get a lot of airtime, but IMO the writers use her character better than they do Frankie. And she doesn't even have a love interest (I haven't seen Brot in a while).

Yet IMO, her character is used better than Frankie is. I think that his pairing with Randi is one of the reasons why Frankie isn't shown that much. Frankie's been shown more when Madison is featured. Other than that he gets a few scenes with his parents here and there, and we might see him pop up every couple of weeks at the hospital.

My point is Randi could be on with Frankie more in a story-line together, they could've even had baby months ago, bu instead Frankie spends far more time with Madison being protective of her and Angie's the one pregnant.

Co-Signing!

And immediately sent her out of town for three weeks. They simply gave her a profession that travels. It's not a vote of confidence when you character has an automatic excuse to be written out for weeks.

Angie: "Hey, sweetie! Where's Randi?"

Frankie: "Oh, she's in the Amazon doing a shoot for Fusion for the next 2 weeks."

Jesse: "Hey, Franklin. How's Randi?"

Frankie: "She's great! I just heard from her this morning. She's in Asia for the launch of Fusion Orient."

I would rather they send her on a trip than Frankie. I remember back when the storyline about Frankie going back to Iraq was being written, I think it was Pratt who said that he was thinking about re-evaluating the character of Frankie and Frankie/Randi's relationship.

I got the feeling he said that because Frankie/Randi wasn't really working for him and to me it seemed like he was thinking of possibly getting rid of Frankie at that time. Fortunately that didn't happen, but I didn't like the thought of Frankie's (Cornelius) head being on the chopping block because of his relationship with Randi.

It would help if they had decent chemistry with each other, but IMO, they don't. I actually thought that Randi had some chemistry with Henry North and even some with Petey. But I don't think that her and Frankie have chemistry.

Oh trust me he would. This is about cheating in a marriage, you know how fans take the t.v. into real life, and lets not even begin to wonder the race debates in this.

Randi doesn't hold him back. He can be w/ anybody and nothing will change. You're on a show that features the Martins, Chandlers, Jake/Amanda, and then at the btm. it's the Hubbards and then at the end some where it's Frankie. Randi doesn't hold him back, she doesn't hold the pen to this writing staff. If I'm SG I want to be written between Ryan and Greenlee, that's screen time for me. :lol: That's instant rivalry.

No, it's the HWs. They are trying to make them Jesse/Jenny. Exactly.

So what. That's b/c they had to write in other SLs, the Hubbards are always last don't you get that? even Angie's SL isn't about her family, it involves David. As for Madison getting ST, thankfully they paired her w/ Ryan, otherwise guess who would be missing for 2 or 3 wks.

I doubt Frankie and Madison are endgame, I just don't see anything onscreen that even hints at them being endgame.

I honestly don't care about Frankie/Randi or Frankie/Madison. I don't think either pairing is anything special.

    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.
