Members Mr. Vixen Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 Is Brian Frons Catholic? If so, he should have given up talking for Lent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~bl~ Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 So are the actors being told, tell the fans don't boycott. That sucks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 I totally agree. While La Lucci may not be the greatest actress ever, she has a certain screen presence where you can't take your eyes off her. I don't get that with Minchew at all.

Members All My Shadows Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 AM was fun to watch her first year when Kendall was babysitting Petey, letting JR cop a feel, and ordering weird drinks at The Valley Inn, but once they moved her into "star" position, the character just got way too serious, and AM could never make her personality shine through that.

Members Cheap21 Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 Its unnecesary tension and I dont think SMG is worth the hassle. Its not like she's at her peak when she'd be more of a prize getting back. There are TONS of former actors/characters who have come nad gone from the show that I feel need to come back. SMG is not one of them nor do I see TPTB even considering her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 I remember Joel Siegel, the entertainment critic, saying in his review of Annie Get Your Gun that Susan Lucci had something that Bernadette Peters didn't have, and that was stage presence. Lucci has it, Minshew, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 The sad part is, I doubt many people will be brought back. Not with this time frame. We'll be lucky to get David Canary, Julia Barr, Kelly Ripa & Husband, and MAYBe Robin Christopher at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 Product placement with a bunch of characters who are thugs, sociopaths, and who barely even shrug when a child is killed by a drunk driver? Good luck with that. I realize GH's demos are similar to Y&R's, so they are close in ratings in the demo that counts, but the show is not a good performer, and if it were, then it would have been thisclose to being canceled. Frons is keeping it on because he has fetishized the show, and for no other reason, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 Raise your hand if you thought just Kendall's very conception was symptomatic and emblematic of AMC's problems as a whole, regardless of which actress portrayed her? Just me? Okay, I'll shut up then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 Word. TPTB probably thinks SMG is unattainable, and even still, I don't think they'd poo poo all over AM like that. Regardless of our personal preferences, she's played the shrew for nine and a half years, and I see no reason why she shouldn't play her to end. Kendall is no longer the character SMG played, anyway, so there'd be no point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 Frons is going to gun hard for GH and become even more controlling (if that's possible) of the show, because I think he realizes that when GH goes he becomes irrelevant and will effectively go with it.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 I'd agree, it's a very McTavish story, especially the rape aspect and the retconned past. But something about the early McTavish years were a bit different than her other stints. Maybe it's becuase Behr and Nixon and a better staff of writers were there to ground her inane material.

Members Jonathan Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 I don't think Robin Christopher will come back, but everyone else you mentioned above will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angela Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 We disagree on that. I think she's fine for lead and has been fine in lead, but no one character should dominate the show, or no four for that matter. I'm leaving the Kendall stuff in here. It doesn't seem completely on-topic for either this thread or the tribute thread. The "could SMG come back?" back and forth seems less inappropriate for this thread, so here it stays. I'm sure the conversation will eventually become less and less about that and more and more about the topic. I hope, lol. I'll do my best to help with that effort. Is he really boasting about GH's 1.1 to 1.2 in 18-49? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 Well, I agree with that. She does show up for her scenes, which is something I'm coming to appreciate in soap actors more and more as time goes on. That's something AM has in common with Lucci. I can't remember ever watching either of them and wishing they would wake the f*ck up. Considering that they really overused Kendall for awhile there (to the point where I just couldn't take it anymore), that's an accomplishment in itself.
