Most of my choices have already been stated several times in this thread so I'll add somemore

Everyone in the 09 Teen Scene at Days of Our Lives- Those little brats were horrible acting wise and all very annoying. The recasting with the older ones was a huge step up. And that scene with little Mia and Chad having sex in the back of the car grossed me out.

Chad Duell as Michael. He's too unbeliveable as the son of a mob boss. His look is very preppy and everytime I see him trying to play tough, I think, this boy should be hanging out at the country club, training as a male cheerleader, playing golf etc. It was especially bad when the character was in highschool as he had the total look of one of those preppy rich boys who Michael was supposed to be the opposite off. Not to mention he has no acting skill and his dull eyes are often distracting.

Lexi Ainsworth as Kristina. On paper there has been alot of story potential for the character. The idea of Sonny's daughter being a thorn in his side causing him trouble and manipulating people sounded good but the execution was terrible. She didn't have the looks or acting chops to play the role of a mob boss's daughter. Watching her try to portray sexy and manipulative made me laugh because she just couldn't handle it. And her looks, voice, and acting choices combined with some of the writing made the character seem years younger than she was.

Danica Stewart as Jessica on Passions ruined the character not because of the whole hooker aspect but because her acting was so atrocious it was hard to feel anythnig for the Jessica character

    • This is (maybe) overly simplistic and nonsoapy, but Doug needs to go to Gamblers Anonymous, to deal with the addictive neurological excitement hits that gambling gives him - and which control his life. Vanessa needs to go to therapy to find ways to remain healthfully lusty and sex-positive, but to stay away from anyone who would demean her.
    • YT keeps commending GL clips to me. I discovered Kathleen Cullen was on in Christmas 1987. Was there any talk of making it permanent  or was this just a special visit? I wish they had made the visit permanent. I liked her chemistry with Grant Aleksander.  
    • 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. This is where I wish I knew Roger's history better.

    • 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.
