Members ChitHappens Posted May 30, 2012 Members Share Posted May 30, 2012 Brenda's been worthless for quite some time and Vanessa's Daytime star power is now non existent. She has absolutely no leverage or value, and one of the best things Guza ever did was take that hatchet to the character last time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted May 30, 2012 Members Share Posted May 30, 2012 Madison bored me to tears, so I didn't want her with Frankie, either. I simply wished that they'd recast Randi with a charismatic actress that could keep up with Cornelius Smith (I'm not naive to expect an actress that could match Debbi Morgan or Darnell Williams' talent). So 'worthless' that they pimp her name whether she is on and off-screen. Like I said, if she is 'worthless', then 99% off of the female characters that have polluted GH since her first departure are negative nil in any form of currency.

Members marceline Posted May 30, 2012 Members Share Posted May 30, 2012 Yep. IMO, Randi wasn't necessarily a bad character but she was played by an awful actress and the already poor writing for her was made even worse to accommodate her lack of talent.

Members RomeAt50 Posted May 30, 2012 Members Share Posted May 30, 2012 I don't think taking a hatchet to any longterm character is ever a good thing. Its bad writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted May 30, 2012 Members Share Posted May 30, 2012 I actually thought that Shannon Kane would've made a more appealing Randi than Denise Vasi, as she had more charisma than the latter (which probably explains how Natalia was able to last as long as she did, in spite of AMC barely giving her anything to do).

Members JaneAusten Posted May 30, 2012 Members Share Posted May 30, 2012 I used to be the biggest Brenda fan years ago but even I have to acknowledge that Vanessa was a huge part of the issue this go around. The only one she still had chem with was Ingo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted May 31, 2012 Members Share Posted May 31, 2012 O Lord yes, Maya and her mysterious goop. She flirted with Shawn-D and had some business dealing with Tony (or whomever he was, I'm sticking with Tony). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted May 31, 2012 Members Share Posted May 31, 2012 Love it. A prime example of how 90's melodrama just doesn't work in today's world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted May 31, 2012 Members Share Posted May 31, 2012 She most certainly was part of the problem! All Vanessa brought with her was cackling and dictated the story, which is why Guza had to switch the Brante horse in the middle of the race. Might not have been the best concept, but it was much better than what we got. The only conclusion was to slit Balkan's throat and get VMG the hell off the show!

Members Aaron Posted May 31, 2012 Members Share Posted May 31, 2012 Since someone else already mentioned my first choice, May Merisi from GL, I gotta go with Samantha Marler. Good LORD that character was awful. Poor hotass Morgan Englund was saddled with that sadsack mouthbreather for YEARS. I can still hear her obnoxious wheeze of a laugh after all this time.

Members VirginiaHamilton Posted May 31, 2012 Members Share Posted May 31, 2012 Considering that GH was/is littered with harpies, I considered Brenda's presence to be a breath of fresh air - which is why Guza did everything in his power to shìt on her for not being what his idea of a woman was.

Members Cheap21 Posted May 31, 2012 Members Share Posted May 31, 2012 IA on those that mentioned Daphne Duplaix. She'd have made a MUCH better Randi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
