Recommended Posts

Tamara's CArly was a victim plain and simple.As for a romantic actress, her recent stint on DAys where that was what she was supposed to be was a flop. To each his own I never liked her because I think a potentially great character got morphed into as we see the same character every darn soap has. I feel the same way about Alicia Minshew as Kendall also.

See I find both Kendell and Greenlee to be more or less from the same mold. Just one has money and the other one doesn't. They are both terrified that they are never going to find their happily ever after and be loved. That's the same root to both of their fears and the general basis of their characters. Greenlee was ignored by her mother and father and no one liked her. Cue to her causing problems for other people because she is miserable inside and no one appreciates her inner pain. Kendell was thrown away by Erica but is jealous of her relationship with Bianca (completely ignoring that she had adoptive parents who loved her) who she dotes on. Because Kendell doesn't have the love of her biological mother she goes crazy and sets out to destroy her life because she needs the love and validation from her mother who is Erica Kane. It's the same motivation though - I want them to love me. They both want to be loved and adored as the center of their parents/loved ones lives and they aren't so they will destroy themselves and their relationships in their haze of pain. Self-destruction.

Tamara's first year on GH is hilarious and embarrassing to watch. She was clearly trying to imitate Sarah Brown, and it just looked like a bad parody skit on the current sh!t incarnation of SNL.

They had to totally rewrite the essence of the character to fit her, and over time, I can see how it might have worked for some. But Carly lost all of her independence and determination, and was just "Sonny, Sonny, Sonny!!!!" all the damn time.

I will disagree. I think she hides it well but it definitely came out whenever Gillian popped up. It was that same inadequacy she has always projected when it comes to Ryan who she was obsessed with. I also think the "Leo loved me perfectly" scene also brings this up a bit too with her belief that she was destined to be miserable without Leo in her life.

      I suspect we would have had a few withdrawals next year if Israel had won. I don't think many people would relish going to Jerusalem as things stand now. Not to mention it would have been a prime target for terrorist attacks.   
    • And they've given us plenty. Sets, outdoor scenes, music licensing, etc. And that was the point of me using DAYS... so. It's obvious the casino set is not intended for long-term use, hence why it's likely it wasn't as evolved as the other community sets, etc.

    • I just had thought of how to save the Perkins family. (Inspired by Rituals) -- What if Marisa Perkins was Augusta Lockridge's sister? Fictionally, they could've both been local girls, one married rich and one married poor. Originally, I was going to suggest that Marisa be Sophia's sister, but then I realized Joe and Kelly would've been first cousins.  Of course, it would've truly inspired Sophia was if Rosa Andrade sister, with Rosa and Santana moving in to help CC raise the kids once Sophia disappeared.  While this could've avoided both gross CC and Santana affairs, the times were not right for a story about intersectional inequity.
    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJxW5DLJLId/ Another World is my forever favorite soap opera. But it's finale is almost universally hated by its fans. What this is, is an edit where I've deleted everything I didn't like!!!
    • The Perkins family had potential to be a nice alternative to the more dysfunctional Capwells and wackier Lockridges... but I think a few factors did in the family. 1) Recasting of Joe Perkins 2) Bad casting of the Perkins Patriarch, and the one note writing for that character. 3) Lack of antagonistic interaction between the Capwells/Lockridges and Perkins.  (There was no awkwardness between Jade/Ted.. or CC disapproving of his son being friends with that Perkins girl, etc). 4) Wasting of Jade thus wasting the potential of the actress (which was realized on Days of Our Lives).  She had more potential than Laken oddly enough. The only member of the Perkins family that had appeal and a somewhat thought out story arc was Amy.  
    • @GymnastGuyThanks for posting the three new Capitol 1985 episodes today. The two labeled March 12, and 13 are misidentified. The March 12 labeled one actually aired November 12 1985 which I figured out because Kenny Rogers' movie Wild Horses aired November 12th and it was announced over the "March 12" Cap credits. In addition, Craig Carlson is listed in the April credits but not the March. Craig left Capitol sometime after July 1985 before he rejoined OLTL in the credits by October 15, 1985; he was replaced on Cap by Radcliffe and Hamner. In these posted episodes Radcliffe/Hamner names appear in the March 85 episodes but not in the April.
