GH: August Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

But it's the same thing with Genie Francis - the year she won Supporting Actress was a complete joke. She's not that good for one, and secondly she was only there for a few weeks. All of the other actresses - including Rebecca Herbst - were better and actually deserved the win. When they showed Tony Geary's reaction he couldn't quite cover the contempt on his face fast enough (a particular pleasure of mine).

Some of these actresses/characters are so lauded in the press that the sheeple believe they are the GREATS of daytime. They aren't. And then the writing is blamed for their failures and no one is willing to stand up and say... "nope, they just really suck without the right kind of support around them".

While I could never speak an ill word of Genie Francis (the supportive acting trophy was a joke because Genie is best actress if nothing else), this recent tribute to Brenda/Vanessa showed me just how overrated the character really was/is. She can get the job done, and of course, I have seen a helluva lot worse, but she is just nothing to write home about, especially for those of us who enjoy power actors.

This goes double for Alicia Minshew because she is marginal at best, and her return is highly anticipated? Daytime has gone to the dogs! Tell me Victoria Wyndham or Linda Dano is returning to daytime, and I will do cartwheels on the Chicago outer drive!

Robin Christopher DESERVED that Emmy in 2003. She was the best of the nominees that year. She's so underrated, and it's sad, because she is one of the strongest actresses in Daytime. Even when GH decided they didn't give a Sh*t about Skye, Robin took EVERY bit of material they gave her and gave it her best. It's a shame she was so underused.

And yet these shows never have the time nor budget to update their openings. :rolleyes:

Edward was removed, right? I'm glad that Monica/Tracy/Luke got the final three spots.

I wish Carly would have snatched her up for real.

Can someone post a clip of the opening. My DVR f-ed up at the beginning of the show

I dont get why they even bother trying to hide Brenda's face. As if its supposed to be a surprise its her, when they've been hyping and promoting this day for weeks
