July 30, 201213 yr Member I'd love to see Andrea Evans back as Patty. Hell no! She plays every horribly campy character she plays exactly the same way!
July 30, 201213 yr Member Hell no! She plays every horribly campy character she plays exactly the same way! As much as I love AE, this is so true!
July 30, 201213 yr Author Member I don't think she played Tina and Tawny the same way. There is a real vulnerability in her work as Tina, not just ditziness. You can see it in her last run on OLTL.
July 30, 201213 yr Member Oh I don't buy that. She could easily wear her own clothes, but those aren't much better.. I've seen the pictures. Wardrobe DOES suck, that's why Brenda wore her own clothes and Jeanne still DOES. And we know that Gina is not around because Patty Weaver has serious back problems. Well then what happened during the 80s, 90s and early 2000s? Was Jess wearing her own clothes and then she dramatically changed her style? I don't think so. The wardrobe department has done her no favours for years and now that Jess lives in Oregon she can't be bringing racks of clothing to LA for work, she's not a showgirl, she's a professional. I didn't know that about Patty Weaver, terrible. Brenda + Psychiatrist = Necessity. Have you read her blog? She's a rambling nut.

Her initial portrayal of Tina Clayton was wonderful. Total vixen, and I loved it and hated the nutjob who forced her out of the business for about 20 years. But nothing AE has done since the 80s is to be taken seriously.

On paper, she looks pretty dire because she's dyslexic... on the phone and in person, it's a different story. I do feel she needs LESS medication. Evans is a horrid actress, she was just perfect to play the role of Tina. I agree... and look how good Lillibet looks:
July 30, 201213 yr Member When she returned to OLTL she was playing Tian the same way she played Rebecca and watching her as Tawny was like watching her as Rebecca also.
July 30, 201213 yr Member One of the most important changes that need to be made is to the pace and the tone of the show. The writing could be great but, unless those return, it would never really feel like Y&R. The most important change Y&R needs to deal with is accepting the fact it isn't & never will be an ABC soap.

Y&R dresses her horribly because she gained weight. She didn't gain a lot but enough where Y&R felt the need to dress her like a senior citizen. But Y&R has never been good about dressing "larger" actresses (Beth & Tricia for example).
July 30, 201213 yr Member When she returned to OLTL she was playing Tian the same way she played Rebecca and watching her as Tawny was like watching her as Rebecca also. She played Tina as Rebecca during her 2008 return, but when she came back in the finale, I felt like there was more of the real Tina.

But Y&R has never been good about dressing "larger" actresses (Beth & Tricia for example). And Jess isn't anywhere near Beth's size and is also slimmer than Tricia...the wardrobe people did the same thing to MTS. It's so frustrating to see because she could look terrific with the right clothing.
July 30, 201213 yr Member Out with the newbies over the past 5yrs. In with two brooks sisters, the foster boys, Casey Reed, for some reason I want to see Stephanie Williams back on Daytime and Y&R as Amy, and Traci Abbott. I would go back to Nikki and Paul throw in Greg Foster, undo that crap with Jill not being a foster. I love the idea of Denise Alexander as Phyllis mom so why not bring back Susan Seaforth Hayes as Joanna Manning and have them in a mature triangle with Snapper (not sure if he is married to one of brooks girls). Bring back Patty Williams (sane) with Mary Beth Evans, Marcy Walker, or Beth Chamberlain in the role. make Felicia Forrester from B&B a fixture on the show.
July 30, 201213 yr Member It's hard to imagine casting worse than Chompers. I would say Daniel Cosgrove as Billy if he hadn't become so overexposed. I would say Josh Kelley if he didn't have crazy eyes and little chemistry with women. Daniel Cosgrove must have some kind of show killing aura. He was on GL when it went off the air, skipped over to ATWT when it went off, and was at AMC when it went off. Needless to say this show would be taking a final rest if he came onboard. P.S. He was also on Beverly Hills, 90210 when it went off the air!
