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.

    • 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.
    • @chrisml Isn't remarkable that, on a soap whose brand is built on twists and mysteries, that Raven's last straw was as simple as Logan saying that she was incapable of loving Jamey.  In the episode when Raven exit's and leaves Jamey with April, I can remember feeling the subtext that Raven is also trying to talk herself into leaving him behind.  There's so much in that little scene.  She's trying to stick it to Logan for saying she was a bad mother.  She's both granting April's wish, and damning her with the old adage of being careful what she wished for.  And, she's hinting to Draper that she's going to boff his father. It remains my favorite scene, and it still blows my mind that was not the end of that episode.  
    • Oh lord not Drew just figured out it was both Nina and Portia that set him up. Willow WILL never leave this man. Ric taking the case purely just to spite Sonny is [!@#$%^&*].ing hilarious.
    • And in addition to Patti being de-aged, she was no longer a nurse, divorced from Len(fair enough) and her two children were not seen and barely mentioned. So basically she was a totally new character. For newer viewers it didn't matter but any loyal viewers would have been wondering about all the changes with Patti. Sarah Whiting always puzzled me. The writers finally decide to acknowledge Jo's family and do so by making up a never mentioned adopted teen. Why not just bring in Tracey, Jo's actual grandaughter? As for Liza, perhaps it would have been wise to rest the character when Sherry left. They were big shoes to fill and her Liza was so identified with Travis. I don't recall what was going on in the story at that time but if they knew Sherry was leaving, write it so Liza would leave town to care for an ailing Janet and take a breather with the character for a few months.
    • Ahh interesting. Yeah, that's sad for A-M. I will say, he and Nick became fast friends when Susan started working at Spaulding. A-M/Lucy/Nick/Susan had a lot of double dates in those 7 months. A-M was Nick's best man at his wedding to Susan, which now that I think about it, is odd that he wouldn't have considered Fletcher. I remember those two were so close at the paper, and even living together with Ben. Once Tangie left SF, Nick left the paper, and Fletcher/Holly were rarely seen... so I guess they felt that friendship wasn't shown often enough anymore (which again, lazy writing).
    • I honestly don't think Alan-Michael ever really had a friend on the show. Maybe Cameron or Samantha, but otherwise... *Cameron was a high school friend who ended up dating teenage Dinah after she broke up with A-M. Samantha is Phillip's biological sister, who A-M treated like a sister. Interestingly enough, they were born the same week on the show in 1981, but A-M ends up being older than her when she returns to town in '89.
