She was a little rough at first but she came into her own. I thought she and JY had amazing chemistry and it was the only time I liked Babe and JR. The way ended was pretty sad. I also loved her and Amanda as BFFs, which was much more believable than when AH was around. I loved the storyline where Babe and Amanda plotted to take over Fusion. Those two were already running the place while Greenlee and Kendall were obsessing over Annie's life

Oh god, IA on both points. Liked him as Ethan on Passions but he's just bad as Brady

LOL..I dont even know what the recast Di's name was either. She was very unnecesary and she should have been some random friend from Annie's past

I thought she had really bad chemistry with all of the characters who Babe had strong ties with. Micheal E. Knight (Tad), Bobbie Eakes (Krystal), Jacob Young (JR), Vincent I. (David), Little Adam (Jarred), Eden Rigel (Bianca), Billy Miller (Wes/Ritchie), Melissa Claire Egan (Annie), etc. and she just wasn't half the dramatic actress Havins was.

Daytime Emmy Nominated Dylan Patton as Will Horton on DAYS. LMAO. Never felt him as Will. He was bad

Like...what was even the point of that?? I'll never understand why Pratt randomly brought her back. I forget what the Actress even looked like...lol I need to see the clips again.

About Amanda Baker as Babe, nothing against her acting but I just never thought she was right in the role. I stopped liking and even caring about Babe when she took over.

That was another miscast role. Although a significant amount of time had passed between actresses, the transition from Jensen Buchanan to Grace Phillips was too jarring.

I am not one to defend Laura Wright. In some ways shes more like original Carly played by Sarah than the other 2 ever were but she lacks any ability to convey vulnerability which was what made Sarahs' Carly rootable. So I don't know if its miscasting so much its not having the acting range to show Carly as a multi dimensional character

It would've been better if they had explained that Randi had been a high-priced escort who was being "punished" by her pimp with low-rent jobs for crossing him once too often.

He looked a damn hot mess on the emmy red carpet that night. LMAO.

John, thank you for the info on Heather Kenzie - I had blocked her out. lol. I don't remember her acting being bad but it was just so mind boggling to me that Di suddenly came back with a new face like that. I didn't like that story with Annie at all.

Not that I ever mistook either actress for master thespian, but I think it's tough to cast any role that was as ill-defined as Eden.

And if TH had had an affair with John Conboy, then she must've been a he! :D

Tim Gibbs was so horrible as Kevin on OLTL. There were bad actors who played Kevin, but the character was basically the same. He and JFP turned Kevin into such a prick.

I never knew if Beth Chamberlin was all that great of recasting for Beth on GL. She never seemed to have the inner strength the character was supposed to have.

    • I'm not sure it's as unpopular as you think.  I just think the show knew they were in a bind, and needed a proven couple for the viewers to invest in. Trying to reunite Vanessa and Ross had just failed in 87. I don't think Ed and Holly's affair was well received, as Simon and Garrett had a brother/sister chemistry. Enter Billy and Vanessa, who give you history and an out not to try and do a Josh/Reva/Billy triangle, which would've really wrecked the relationship between Josh and Billy. I'd have been ok with trying Vanessa/Ross again, and doing a Vanessa/Ross/Holly/Billy quad for a while. I hated Nadine. HATED. She had to be the most insufferable also-ran before ATWT's Julia Lindsay.
    • GROSS. Michael Swan was hot back in his ATWT days. Now he's 76 and WAY past his hot years.    
    • Since she kidnapped, locked up and tried to kill her father's wife I'd say that is still a pretty big deal
    • I'm good with the gushing, too. There aren't many soap icons like John Black, and that's important to celebrate and remember. And yes, life does go on for other characters, but as they say, timing is everything. Going sky diving the day before the funeral? And during a week of shows that were so powerful emotionally? No.    
    • No. There might have been a slight pause for dramatic effect after his "death," but pretty soon after they showed him in France getting plastic surgery and getting involved with his doctor, then planning with her to bring Christina to France. (She thought he had good reason to do it; she wasn't a bad person or anything). Now that I think of it, there must have been some kind of pause before that, during the 70s. Rita was accused of killing a private patient for an inheritance when she lived in Texas. Part of the backstory was that Roger had been there, too. Not sure exactly when or how long that was.
    • I've already stated that I don't like Doug being written as this meek and submissive. It was so lame watching him leave her like that. Vanessa can divorce him, but she then needs to get her thot ass into therapy. She's not only having sex with every guy she runs into, but is now having  sex with a skeevy perv on a poker table. I'm going to give the BTG some credit here. For months, many on this board were delighting in the Vanessa/Joey flirting and what they saw as chemistry. I think we're now seeing what the writers always intended -- that Joey is a disgusting POS wannabe mobster.
    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
