Members P.J. Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 Actually...no. I love Maura, and I'm sure she'll act the hell out of it. Y&R is going to put her with the heavy hitters, which means they respect her, and her character has ties across the board. BUT...I don't particularly want to go back to watching Y&R, a show I gave up on 15 years ago. I don't want to see Hogan's "fascination" with Maura again (IMO it was a little creepy...if he writes it, Maura will play a big ol' morally bankrupt 'ho...) and there's the issue of her being way too young for the role. Diane was banging Jack in like 1982. She should be Ashley's age, and now she's barely older than Ashley's daughter Abby. Other than making her a Traci Abbott recast (which was my really big unreasonable fear) I don't really see how this could be a bigger WTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 I'm not wasting anymore time on a show that thinks "honoring Bill Bell's legacy" equates to hiring cast-offs from P&G and ABC soaps to play material that is so antithetical to this show's nature. Sorry, can't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 That reminds me of when Sarah Brown went to ATWT and Maura wiped the floor with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 Yeah, except, chances are, she'll be so bad as nuDiane, she'll make MS/Phyllis look like Beverlee McKinsey. Y&R has this habit lately of taking actors who showed promise on other shows and then destroying every single one of their good qualities. No one but Hogan Sheffer can turn a wonderful actor into a shrill, annoying, one-dimensional hack; and frankly, this industry should be ashamed of itself for keeping that fat, misogynistic s.o.b. employed.

Members MoTheGreat Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 Wasn't she also married to Victor at one time & she had a fight with Nikki. & wasn't she apart of that sperm storyline, having it store in a freezer inside a closet. How would that work out with young Maura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 I think she did decent as being a rival to Stafford and was okay as the psycho villaness during the poolhouse fire mystery, but outside of that she did nothing for me. Instead of being the firecracker that Diane was, she came off as more reserved and withdrawn. I noticed this the most during the great 2003 Newman vs. Jabot war.

Members Soapsuds Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 Look who wrote for her on ATWT....Jean Pissy!! She made that shitty material work for her! And dont call Hogan fat...he just has big bones.....LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jay Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 I love it. Especially if JT and Billy start acting on those feelings they've had for each other since 10th grade gym class at Walnut Grove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 Any soap that can make STEPHEN NICHOLS look bad is not gonna do Maura any favors. Y&R screwed themselves. They should've waited & made HER Patty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 Hell, knowing them, they might have made her Liz Foster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franky Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 Geez, now I'm in a bind. I want to watch Maura, but I don't want to watch Y&R... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 Walters is to Diane what Epperson is to Ashley. Ok recast but lacking the IT factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
