Members Khan Posted February 26, 2012 Members Share Posted February 26, 2012 If TPTB had been serious about redeeming Patty, I would have preferred Genie Francis portraying her rather than Gen. "Cane's mother" was a part more for someone like Judith McConnell (which would have meant re-casting his dad with someone older, but there you have it).

Members y&r_fan Posted February 27, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 27, 2012 Totally agree with all of these! She should definitely be recast, but not with Davetta. She was a slight step up from Khalil but still far from good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted February 28, 2012 Members Share Posted February 28, 2012 It's hard not to be when Sharon gets destroyed to prop Adam & Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skin Posted February 28, 2012 Members Share Posted February 28, 2012 I have a hard time being sympathetic to his "plights" (Nick's) concerning Sharon since it all could have been avoided had he not banged and played house with Syphylis. Any problems he gets concerning them are his own deserved pieces of karma considering he stepped out on his ten year plus family. On this note I can't stand Nick/Phylis. I don't get why the writers get so much preverse pleasure over glorifying an affair that ripped apart one of their golden couples for over a decade. I don't care if Marrow gets a woody while working with Stafford nor do I give a damn if things are more exciting for him. The show is so tasteless for letting this continue and spit in the face of the new Newman's. Even though I think Strafford is an amazing actress I can't take much more of this heroine reporter role she has been playing. It nauseating and I can't accept that they keep attempting to make Nick/Phylis this good stable couple considering who she is, what she has always has been and what her and Nick truly are. Another unpopular opinion I actually liked Days a lot when I tuned in to watch over the weekend. It was exactly what I wanted from the show. John/Hope was interesting, Sami/Rafe/EJ/Nicole was awesome because they all hate eachother and Will/Marlena were had great scenes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JtSmarts Posted February 28, 2012 Members Share Posted February 28, 2012 DOOL: Not a fan of Will's coming out story at all. I think Sami has regressed under this regime especially in regards to her relationships with family members and I hate it. Daniel is ok is small doses. At this point if Jack and Jennifer leave can I won't miss them. I prefer Austin Peck over Muldoon. B&B Steffy/Liam/Hope is a viable triangle with loads of potential. I hate Brooke/Ridge (Not sure if unpopular) Y&R I'm not a long time fan at all, and don't have a grasp on the history but I do find Y&R at least to be consistently entertaining.

Members Cat Posted February 28, 2012 Members Share Posted February 28, 2012 OMG, how could I forget this?! Snarly pretty much drove me from her show with her screeching and bullying and galloping! Though I would suggest that this is actually a popular opinion on this board (outside of SON? Prob not so much). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted February 28, 2012 Members Share Posted February 28, 2012 Question for you GHers: Is Laura Wright really terrible, or is she poorly miscast? I *loved* her as GL's Cassie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted February 28, 2012 Members Share Posted February 28, 2012 Neither. I, too, loved Laura Wright as Cassie (much better than the wet blanket that replaced her), so my hate for the canker sore of a character that she currently portrays has nothing to do with her or anyone else's acting. I'm sure this is a popular opinion, but I'll say it anyway - Canker sore Carly has been a loathsome sack of sh*t since her inception back in the 90s and is one of the main reasons why that show went from sugar to sh*t. Charlize Theron or Kate Winslet could play her and that character would still be the same horrendous cow that should've been killed off over a decade ago.

Members Cat Posted February 28, 2012 Members Share Posted February 28, 2012 The writing is a big part of it. The moment the character spawned Michael and used her meal ticket to emotionally ensnare a bunch of wealthy and/or dangerous men (Jason, Sonny, Jax) was the moment everything went to hell in a handbasket for GH. I just can't anymore. I just can't take this spiteful, nasty, bullying, selfish troll of a "mother" as the one-and-only heroine of the show. She's not fun in a vixenish way. She is awful. It really says something when Guza/JFP/Frons/Garin's disdain of women in general permeates every aspect of the show -- but they can't shut up about how much they love this "strong" female character who makes it her life's business to bully other women. What?! Something else, though. About a month into Laura Wright airing as NuNuNuCarly, she went on SoapTalk and proceeded to brag about how she was made for this role, how she was KICKING ASS in this role, how she was a TAKE NO PRISONERS kind of actress, thanks to learning her acting chops from Kim Zimmer ( ), bragging about how ABC had her in place for over 6-12 months prior to Jennifer Bransford getting fired, etc. Smug smug smug. It really turned me off. Seems like she brought this kind of dynamic to the character of Carly, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 28, 2012 Members Share Posted February 28, 2012 I think this is OK if they eventually mature these relationships - if it's just done for some kind of a lifevest-style clinging to history, where she screeches and weeps on Marlena and Will screeches and weeps at her, then it's a waste of time. It will be interesting to see where they take Will once he does come out, especially since Massey's performance seems very asexual to me. I have heard comments again about how Sonny just doesn't have the "fire" Will needs - unless that means someone needs to tell Will to go sit in the corner, I'm not sure what "fire" Will needs. I hope they take some time to actually give Sonny a life of his own. Sonny existing solely for Will is the same type of bad writing that sunk Luke and Noah on ATWT.

Members R Sinclair Posted February 28, 2012 Members Share Posted February 28, 2012 She's terrible at playing Carly. Precisely. The writing of character lowered itself to this Laura Wright dynamic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
