I haven't followed GH too closely these past few months. Has Felix gained any traction with the audience since his introduction? I remember how up-in-arms many of us were over him.

He seems popular to me - not a huge fan favorite, but popular. This type of role (sassy gay friend) is almost always popular with the straight female audience.

Sean Kanan on GH is gross and find nothing attractive about him today. GH doesnt have many hot men at all but if I had to pick one, John J York ranks up there

I think he looks alright, just keep the shirt on and don't do any tanning.

GH by and large has a lot of unattractive guys, and has for a long time.

A lot of this is generated from the soap "press" that puts Cartini above all, along with likely wanting network access, and believing ABC is a surer thing than PP (which it probably is). You notice that much of the "press" only wanted OLTL back if it was with Ron and Frank.

I actually believe that Prospect Park has more of a vested interest in the future of soaps than ABC does. This experiment NEEDED to happen if there's to be any hope for soap survival. An internet process needed to begin and it's the only way that we will ever even have an inkling of hope for a new soap opera, which I now think was possible when I didn't 10 years ago.

Not this straight female. Felix could leave any minute now and I wouldn't care.

Sean Kanan hasn't been attractive in a long time but especially after that stint in rehab between Y&R stint he came back with lots of weight on and not caring about his appearence at all.

This has gotta be sort of unpopular given the conventional wisdom about her talent or lack thereof, but these last couple of months really reminded me that I would take Kristina Wagner on GH above almost everyone who came since. Just seeing her on GH seems so right, and I don't really care if she isn't the greatest actress on earth.

That's an overstatement.

I've always had a soft spot for Kristina. I agree that she does fit into GH, and always does when the writing isn't trashing her, the way Guza did for most of his run.

Oh snap. Blasphemy lol.

We had been doing so well lately till u said that Max lol.

Laura Wright has turned into an obnoxious twat over the years.

I don't think she has any fans on this board. Not from what I've seen. She talks way too fast and shows her teeth too much. She's not a bad actress but she's so obnoxious and standoffish onscreen.

I think Erika Slezak and Kim Zimmer are overrated, hammy, terrible actresses.

Erika is OTT as Niki, but it's fun (the DID stories sicken me but I love Erika's scenery chewing as Niki!). She's very restrained the rest of the time and it works. Kim's a great actress but she doesn't have any charisma, which is my one problem with her.

Passions (ugh) - Dana Sparks is a horrific actress with no screen presence or charisma. She made Grace Bennett into a self righteous, detestable shrew. I know the writers on that horrible soap made a wrong turn (like always) when I was rooting for Ivy (who I never liked either) and Kay (who was an obnoxious annoying brat) the whole time over Grace.

OLTL - I never saw any chemistry between Shane and that loathesome brat Jack. What is it people call them - "Shack"? Ugh! Really don't get the appeal.

Dana Sparks being horrible is not an unpopular opinion! It's a fact!

I believe that some fans have zero concept of what fuels great hatesex and your example is proof of this.

There's a huge difference between masking desire for one another through blistering language/dirty deeds and being a loathsome assh0le with zero redeeming qualities. The mere fact that some people actually believe that a hot and sexy coupling can come from the vile piece of sh!t that pushed another to the brink of suicide disgusts me thoroughly.

I don't mind her as Carly, but I haven't watched GH more than a few times a month in the past decade--save for regularly watching since Carlenvanti came on. But I loved Wright on Loving/The City--even when paired with the dullest male character on that show, Tony Soleito. Then again I loved Heinle on Loving as well, and to a lesser degree on AMC but not much on Y&R.

My LW love stems from her fabulous Cassie Layne Winslow, which is why I've never had the heart to hate her as much as I do the rancid heifer that she'd left GL to portray (while breaking my heart in the process).

To add, I found her far more believable and rootable as the scrappy-heroine-who'd-do-anything-to-protect-her-own as Cassie than I ever did as the snaggletoothed skunk.

Furthermore, I much preferred SJB as Claudia Zacchara over Slagbeast 1.0 for a similar reason - I completely believed and sympathized with her as the vengeful bitch with a broken heart in a way that I was never able to with the Slagbeast (in any form). It's too bad that showkiller Guza set her up to fail because a better writer would've allowed her (and Hot Johnny) to flourish.

I absolutely love LW as Carly
