Yeah, that's why I think actors need to cut out the whole "write, call, protest, boycott - it will save the soaps" nonsense. No it really won't and they know it. It will probably just piss TPTB off more and cause them to make the end of whatever show it is that you watch that much more miserable. I understand wanting to do something and disliking the feeling of being powerless, but really......

I disagree. I'd switch out OLTL for DAYS. DAYS fans have that "last show standing/today is a good day to die" desperation that makes them fight like chained slaves but the persecution complex that OLTL fans have translates into a form of viciousness that makes Lord of the Flies look like a Buddhist children's retreat.

She's not Eleanora Duse, but I think she does what she does very well and is consistently underappreciated for it. She's helped carry that show on her back for years, and she did it so much it took me a long time to realize how deep that went, much like with Bob Woods. I understand why some people can't stand Blair, but I think she's become indispensable as part of the fabric of the current show, unless they wrote out Todd and her children with her. There would be a huge void without her, or Bo, or Dorian, etc. And I think OLTL both understands this and takes it for granted because it's become so "ordinary." I think she's also grown tremendously as a performer since coming to the show.

You caught me. It may be a silly argument to make, and I am not saying Kassie DePaiva is talentless, but I think it does demonstrate people within the industry don't see her as a powerhouse. That's all I am sayin'. Besides, saying she's one of the best actress on OLTL really is not saying all that much... outside Erika and Robin.... its pretty light.

Yep. The EJamis will probably crash the NBC website and phone lines.

Speaking of Days has it been mentioned that someone tweeted Molly Burnett (Melanie) about how upset they were over AMC's cancellation and her response was "guess you gotta switch to Days". What a dumbass.

    • Loved this IG post from Ambyr about how she and Trisha work together. You can tell these ladies go above and beyond the script, and that they really trust and enjoy working together. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJpJufFPOQ2/?igsh=MXBmcWs0YzIwaXVhNA==

    • It is a shame that more characters didn't go the ATWT-Barbara route and make the ingénue into an antagonist. Sort of like they did with Liza/Hogan/Sunny, less successfully. It is a credit to ATWT's creativity that breathed life in that character for years after she was fighting off bulls in Spain.  But, a character like Liza can only have so many true loves and high jinks on the high seas.  They need another reason to be in the story. Liza's wealth, as well as her acumen to see through fraud, was fertile ground for tons of stories.  But, I feel like the business stories for Liza were always about her being easily overwhelmed, rather than exploring things like her leadership and managerial skills.
    • STFU!! Dante!!! This nonsense of blaming Gio is just ridiculous! Alexis and Lucky are becoming so unlikable. Why are the writers writing these characters so poorly?
    • Keith still comes off younger to me. I thought he wasn't that bad for his first day.
    • To be fair, they were only recently step-siblings.  Their parents married within the past few years.  And, Draper's father Ansel was not coy about the fact that he married Raven's mother, Nadine, for the money. And, Raven's sort of sticking it to April that not only can she have a baby (April has a heart condition that makes it difficult for her to carry a child to term), she could also have April's man, if she wanted him.
    • Keith D Robinson is 49. Maurice Johnson is 46.
    • I hope they give him more to do than just be a prick as you say. I can see how viewers would like him because the actor is so charming despite the character being such an absolute pain.    I would agree. And there was also the undercurrent of Raven and Draper sort of flirting with each other. The actors play that attraction and it worked so well in that scene. 
    • Daniel Cosgrove is PERFECT as the sleezy politician. This might be my favorite role of his. All of these people keeping Kristina’s secret is so annoying. I really want her to pay.
    • What did happen to Beth between 86 and 89? Did she have amnesia?
    • I actually thought he came off as younger. It's so hard to buy Martin as Nicole and Ted's son unless they had him when they were 12.
