I thought Ross kind of sucked no matter who played him, but Warlock was all wrong for the role. I don't think Warlock was ever right for AJ either, it's just that some viewers became (understandably) so sick of Carly, Jason, and Sonny that he became easy to sympathize with.

Ugh Eli. Waxed chest and no talent. He's the template for all Carlivati villains.

I thought Ross sucked also but found ML to be more believable in the role. I thought it was laughable seeing short BW go head to head with TSJ and it was hard to buy that this was the same guy that Blair was linked to just a few weeks earlier

ans you just happen to know what every other GH fan in the viewing audience likes? Ignoring it doesn't mean it doesn't exist

Because you do as well? Repeating it ad nauseaum doesn't make it so.

Well, I haven't polled anyone at their homes. You just have to go on faith. Just like I trust there are still a handful of TnBers who are happy with Todd as an emotional crippled deviant as opposed to a man who is willing to change for the right woman. We shall see.

As for the Hillbilly, we will have to see about that as well. I'm hearing that Kassie has been a bad girl lately. She begins filming next week, and they haven't given her a script (rumor has it that she refuses to play out some of the stuff they had in mind in relation to Tarly). She was pretty much pleading with the script writer on Twitter to tell her "Blair's story", and of course, TnB will always have a connection - PATHETIC! It was quite embarrassing that she cared nothing about Blair as an individual but how they were going to be writing TnB and maintaining the great love Again, quite embarrassing! Unfortunately, KDP has morphed into a rabid shipper and refuses to let go of the poisonous TnB while Roger is having the time of his life.

It makes more sense to poll than to state the bold-faced lie that 'people' (as opposed to the few that truly exist) are for this shitstain of a 'pairing' that Ron is threatening to unleash on an unsuspecting viewership. But, hey, I'm one that relies on facts, as opposed to wishful thinking, to come to conclusions.

As for an emotionally-crippled deviant? Well, that's what Todd is and always has been throughout his 20-year existence in soap world, so to do a complete 180 would not be true to his character - as any true Todd Manning fan will attest to. The only woman that has understood that has been Blair Cramer, which is why they are one another's true loves/soulmates.

Sounds like KdP understands the true value of the all-encompassing love that is my Todd & Blair. She's not willing to play out the fuckery that Ron has been threatening and actually respects her legions of soap fans who've adored her career-defining character for almost 20 years (and by 20 years, I'm referring to her version of Blair, as it wouldn't be fair to give credit to her for Mia Korf's work), so as far as I'm concerned, she gets two thumbs up from me.

Moving along...

My AJ is finally home after a 15-year absence, which is sweet justice for this former viewer who had to watch a pussified version of AJ (that'd be BW) constantly be punked by Sonny, his Slagbeast, and his backstabbing bitch of a brother, the roided goiter. Just when I start to taste the bile from Todd being potentially trashed for Bobbie Spencer's trick baby, Ron pulls me back in by giving me a gift that I've been wishing for since I was a girl in high school

And yes, TheReal AJ Quartermaine* is just as dreamy as I remember him to be.

*For the record, I vaguely remember the AJ that preceded Sean Kanan's, so I don't think that it'd be fair to compare him to the two that I did know.

If AJ is supposed to be a monster than Kanan won't work either. The way he played Deacon was laughable.

I honestly don't think anyone can play the cliched Carlivati psycho role well - I have never seen anyone pull this off (Robin Mattson and Susan Haskell might have come closest). But Kanan is good at playing an edge. The first few years of Deacon worked for that reason.

I'll also add that SK's success in both roles (as AJ and Deacon) boils down to his natural sex appeal, which plays into the edge, as well as the charisma that has made him a beloved soap actor for almost two decades.

Loved Tracy calling Monica out on coddling Jason and making excuses for him

Maxie is acting super annoying and childish

Her koookie ditzy Betty Boop persona just drives me nuts and its played out I'm not in that demos but I'm just tired of it and getting to the point I just can't stand her on the screen.

I too am curious as how they will write AJ and how Sean's version will come across; will he come up against Sonny (and Jason posthumously) who took his kid away from him and lose again or will there be something new; I liked him as Deacon but he was written vastly different on B&B than Y&R for me where he was written as a loser coming up against the great Victor Newman which I knew he wouldn't win going into the storyline..

I never finished 50 shades it was so badly written and while I like erotica that was unsexy to me. That book is literally bad fanfic.

Its the authors' first novel and I can't believe the hoopla over this honestly not only was it not that big of deal (I read street fiction) from authors like Carl Webber, Zane, Allison Hobbs, Wahida Clark novels their serious erotica would put this to shame...MuchAdo about nothing its just a lukewarm rendition of The story of O, Emmanuel, Nine in half weeks. I'm not knocking the author about getting paid just saying..I don't think I need to read the other 2 in the triology. I get that Anastasia (is a young 21) who wanted s gorgeous uber wealthy Christian until she saw "how bad it could be" but a lot of times I just wanted to slap the ...bleep...out of her.

SK is the only A.J. I've ever really known, I didn't watch much of BW and when I did catch him, I had a hard time adjusting to the fact that he was A.J. SK's A.J. would have fit right in with OLTL's Todd, Powell, and Zack back in the day, which is the kind of background which makes him prime RC material. SK was great at playing a rich, entitled, spoiled little alcoholic sh!t. I'll never forget how he freaked when Stone's sweat dripped on him, it was so in-character, or how he screamed on Alan for chiding him for drinking when it was only water ("It's WATER dad, it's WATER!!").
