Members dragonflies Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 Let me guess? Tamara will play her like she did Carly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jonathan Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 She didn't want to come back as Reese on All My Children? I guess she didn't want her character to go kissing men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 It is a head scratcher. I feel for NL. She just got steady work and is fired just like that. I can't believe that it is about acting ability or talent because that never has been important to Days. They must have just wanted a prominent role for Tamara.

Members dragonflies Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 I think it's more about them wanting EJ and Taylor and knew it wouldn't work with NL in the role Can you blame her? LOL she pretty much said after she left she had no interest in returning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 This is so random. I think Natalia Livingston is a poor actress, love Tamara Braun. But this Taylor character is a non-starter. This insta-love story between EJ and Taylor is a non-starter. That's not Natalia's fault, that's the writing, Dena. They should just bury the character at this point. EJ had a chance at redemptive love and that was Adriana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 This is WEIRD. I'm glad they pulled the plug on NL-as-Taylor so quickly, because she's not really working -- however, some of that is the writing, which has her walking around being sad-eyed and then looking at EJ like she has bad gas. But she's not really skilled enough to elevate anything the way, say, Zuker can. However, Braun-as-Taylor is a strange fit. We don't need another "edgy," bitchy woman on the show. I'm curious to see where they go with this, but it's a head-scratcher in terms of fit. Re: Taylor as a character. I don't mind that they're trying to make her work. She's essentially a blank slate, and she's related to an important character. I'd much rather they build a character around Nicole's pre-existing sister than give us a random insta-sibling for someone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 LOL! I can honestly, honestly say that I'm shocked by this news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sindacco Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 Always useless? LOL, you make it sound like they've been trying to make her happen over and over for years when the truth is that she's only been on the show one brief stint 12 years ago.

Members Cheap21 Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 she was useless then and she's useless now! Taylor is not a character thats needed. Id scrap her and bring on/create a different character as a foil for EJ/Nicole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 Didn't soaps do this often in the 60s, 70s, and 80s? I mean, hire an actor or actress to play a completely different role not long after playing their original role on the show? Anthony Herrera was on ATWT for a year as someone else not long before coming back to play James Stenbeck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 Disagree! Not that the show NEEDS Taylor, like I said above, I'd much prefer they find a way to make Nicole's sister work as a character than just bringing on some random woman. At least Taylor has some ties to the canvas and is essentially a blank slate waiting for definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 Bizarre! Tamara was a rare Emmy win and they're bringing her back so soon in a new recast role? Wow. And Natalia Livingston has always been a dreadful actress so IDK why anybody is shocked. They knew what they were getting. Even her second role at GH was a bust.

Members dragonflies Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 Yeah I'd rather they bring on a character that has ties to a core character instead of a newbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LoyaltoAMC Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 I liked her on AMC. I think she and ER worked well together. There was so much potential there. Of course, the outcome of their storyline was terribly written and just plain offensive, so I can understand her not returning. Couldn't see her having any chemistry with CBL anyway. Why did she leave GH in the first place? To branch out into prime time and films? She was much better in the role than Laura Wright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
