Members DemetriKane Posted September 8, 2021 Members Share Posted September 8, 2021 I already let my feelings known in the recast thread. So i'm happy to see CBL get her respects. The only crime is that she didn't get to play out Bianca's older storylines. Even though, i was more riveted by her flashbacks to rape during a confrontation with Ricky than i was with Eden's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skin Posted September 8, 2021 Members Share Posted September 8, 2021 I never thought at the Emmy perspective before. Susan being nominated all of those times and losing, while having to embrace another actress who won immediately after being cast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DemetriKane Posted September 8, 2021 Members Share Posted September 8, 2021 Susan didnt deserve those many nominations anyway. Kate Collins wasn't nominated once and thats a crime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DemetriKane Posted September 10, 2021 Members Share Posted September 10, 2021 You know it's the truth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted September 10, 2021 Members Share Posted September 10, 2021 Yes. While I feel Susan Lucci is a better actress than most people give her credit for, the quest to get her an Emmy sometimes prevented more worthy actresses of obtaining nominations - particularly Kate Collins, IMO. Kate should’ve been nominated for her work in 1987-1988 (and WON, IMO), as well as nominated for her work in 1991-1992. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchBug82 Posted September 10, 2021 Members Share Posted September 10, 2021 She has definitely had really strong moments and her overall characterization over decades is to be commended (she built a really recognizable coherent compelling character over decades which I think is a skill of soap actors that is not celebrated as much as "good acting in a specific storyline") BUT she is not a 21-Emmy-nomination-good actress. Even accounting for her longevity the fact she is the MOST Daytime Emmy nominated actress with almost double the runner-up (Kim Zimmer with 11) is ridiculous and undoubtedly due to the storyline around her not winning. But she still definitely deserved a chunk of those. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DemetriKane Posted September 10, 2021 Members Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) @Pine Charles I absolutely agree with that. Susan is really great at what she does. She's more than decent with great comedic timing. I'm a fan. It's just such a shame Kate Collins was never awarded for her work on this show. She carried this show in 1991-92 and was practically responsible for ushering in a new generation of viewers. As for 1987-88, Kate was the real star imho. She had the character, the storyline, and the BEST romance on the show. Ross and Natalie chemistry burned the screen, it wasn't wise making him rape her.

Members KMan101 Posted September 10, 2021 Members Share Posted September 10, 2021 Kate Collins never got her due. She is fabulous and absolutely carried those years. The Ross/Natalie rape was one of those "on paper this could be good" but it really wasn't. It killed Ross as a character and then Natalie was stuck in Trevor hell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kane Posted September 11, 2021 Members Share Posted September 11, 2021 They really did. I was watching some early 1987 episodes a few months ago and, even knowing how their story ends, I was completely captivated by Ross and Natalie. Before their affair actually starts he thinks she's been sleeping with Adam and there's a scene where he grabs her and says, "Why are you going to bed with him? Why are you going to bed with Adam?" and then kisses her and it. is. scorching. Wasting that kind of chemistry on a rape storyline makes no sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DemetriKane Posted September 11, 2021 Members Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) High Five to all of this. Scorching is the perfect word to describe their chemistry. I loved the way he just stares at her when she walks into a room. The way she looks at him when he grabs her omg! Supercouple in the making.
