Members dragonflies Posted July 22, 2012 Members Share Posted July 22, 2012 Exactly! Maxie grew thanks to JL. KS doesn't have the chops to make Maxie grow, when she played Belle on DOOL, her Belle never once had character growth. it's weird but Martha Madison made Belle grow so MM>KS and JL made Maxie grow so JL>KS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted July 22, 2012 Members Share Posted July 22, 2012 KS played Belle when she was a teen. Belle was an adult by the time MM left the role. She should have been more mature and grown by then. KS's Belle was fine for the adolescent role that the character was aged at. KS was Belle throughout the high school years and early in college. And KS's Maxie did grow. When she left last year, she was not the same destructive homewrecker she was back in 2006 during the Lucky/Liz story. The character evolved past that and that happened under KS's stint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted July 22, 2012 Members Share Posted July 22, 2012 Maxie was slutty and screechy for several years under KS and she never grew out of it. She plays Maxie like a cartoon character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted July 22, 2012 Members Share Posted July 22, 2012 Maxie was a cartoon character nothing more. JL made Maxie relevant again. not to mention JL looks like the daughter of Frisco & Felicia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 22, 2012 Members Share Posted July 22, 2012 KS had her moments, but she seemed to lose all interest in the role years before she left. I guess she probably needs the paycheck. Given how many actors on GH phone it in, she's sure to fit right in. And now Kristina will have company for bitter bitch who sneers through all her scenes.

Members Cheap21 Posted July 22, 2012 Members Share Posted July 22, 2012 She doesnt even interact with Felicia so that doesnt really matter much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 22, 2012 Members Share Posted July 22, 2012 The problem is that the people Maxie does interact with are dead end. Maxie is a pointless character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ms. Chandler Quartermaine Posted July 22, 2012 Members Share Posted July 22, 2012 Why they didn't kill Maxie over Georgie, is something I will never understand. Georgie just always had more potential, outside the Maxie/BJ story, Maxie has ZERO history on the show. Georgie had one of the best written teen love stories with Dillon, conflict with the Quartermaines, she had chemistry with the men they tried to pair her up with, Dillon, Diego, and even Spinelli. Not to mention Lindzie was a superior actress, and was far more well rounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 22, 2012 Members Share Posted July 22, 2012 I got the impression that the show felt since Georgie was a "good" girl, she deserved to die. Since Maxie was damaged goods, it was supposed to be more hot and fun to see her degraded and going around getting into catfights and all the rest.

Members theherowithin Posted July 22, 2012 Members Share Posted July 22, 2012 I agree that if KS's return is to be used for a Spinelli prop and she's made to worship and kiss his butt, and her only scenes are with him then yes her return is pointless, useless and I won't watch. She had decent SL's with Coop, Jessie and even Lucky. But when she teamed-up with that toad Spinelli he sucked every drop of life out of her and turned into to rainbow brite on crack.

Members JaneAusten Posted July 22, 2012 Members Share Posted July 22, 2012 3 words Julie Marie Berman. Once Lulu came on as the new good girl, Georgie was toast. And Berman still hasn't had romantic chemistry in any pairing they have thrown her in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonflies Posted July 24, 2012 Members Share Posted July 24, 2012 I always laugh when people say this, Spin didn't ruin Maxie, she ruined him. He was turned into her lapdog and did nothing but prop her for years on end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted July 24, 2012 Members Share Posted July 24, 2012 She was totally ruined for him, aside for a brief moment where she slept with Franco & had her flirty thing with Johnny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
