She looks like a dork. Definetly not what I was expecting

[Juliajms]

It's actually weird to see someone who doesn't look like a celebrity on B&B. Of course, they had SF and DC, but even though they were overweight they exuded that certain something that stars have. I think it's going to be fun to have a more average girl on the show. Wouldn't surprise me if she gets a makeover in a few months and looks completely stunning though.

[Cheap21]

I think whats odd is that Alley is not an average girl. She's a Forrester for heavens sake! Rich, privileged and grew up in the fashion industry. She looks like she shops at K-Mart with no fashion sense. Steffy didn't start off as the most stylish, but she was never this bad. I bet Alley undergoes a makeover in a few months as well, just as she's ready to move in on one of Hope's men. Predictable

I'm glad Alley doesn't look like the rest! Wyatt & Liam lookout. Caroline entrance was classic (and cheesy), but it worked. Alley being a homely girl is a nice twist. Perhaps, she will be more like Tracy on Y&R....

[Juliajms]

Average looking is my point. Even children born rich aren't always born pretty. It's taking everything I have not to give examples. LOL!

[Bright Eyes]

Alley being spelled akin to an actual alley ... there has to be a joke in there somewhere. This is B&B after all.

[DRW50]

Is this going to be another one of those "turns into a swan" stories like they did with Jessica years ago?

At least she looks like a real person, but on this show that may not last long. Then again, Hope still does, so you never know.

[Juliajms]

I'm sure Alley is going to get one hell of a make over, sooner than later. It would be pretty interesting if she didn't, but B&B doesn't do original.

Hope is incredibly beautiful. I'm not going to say that she doesn't look real, but KM definitely won the genetic lottery when it comes to conventional beauty.

[DRW50]

Oh, KM is pretty, it's just that she isn't soap pretty, which today tends to mean endless fillers, Botox, etc. She still looks the same to me as she did when she came on the show. That's somewhat surprising.

[ChitHappens]

I think Matula is gorgeous, especially in the BB opening!

[Vee]

Am I the only one who finds it a little tacky that it's forgotten brother Thorne's kid who has to be the "ugly duckling?"

[edgeofnik]

It was important in casting Hope that she was more of a natural beauty - as to further contrast her with her mother. We don't see Hope in trashy clothes, she was sexy, but classic clothing. Same with Caroline. I can't ever recall something either of them has worn and though - "we've found the heir apparent to "Brooke's Bedroom." Not even the sexually charged Steffy comes across as a sleaze. The more I think about it, I really am amazed at the job B&B has done in costuming department over the past couple of years.

[Darn]

Why would you center a promo around a kid the show hasn't cared about since she was born?

I have no problem with how the actress looks, Jennifer Finnigan was just cute when she joined the show, not a stunner and that worked out pretty well.

[Chris B]

Of course that wasn't enough to judge, but she doesn't seem like a strong actress from that clip. I wish they'd cast Camryn Grimes since they went with a redhead. I think she could've hit the ground running with the other young actors.
