I thought JZ was good today. But that reminded me, the other day someone asked when JZ was great, and to my shock someone implied she never was. Just take a look at these clips to see her in all her glory:

(just the first couple minutes of this one)

If you're pressed for time just watch the last one. The way she so cooly and subtly tears carly to shreds is brilliant.

The way I've seen it for a while now, and this is pure wank on my part as a viewer, is that Jackie knows - on some level, anyway - what she's done to her face. That's why she either overplays or non-plays scenes, IMO; because of that, because she's scared of it or embarrassed or chagrined or something. And most of the time these days she either talks to people like they're five years old, with overly big eyes and intonations, or she mumbles and throws away lines and scenes very quickly like she's rehearsing or half-asleep. She goes back and forth between those extremes, I find. Sometimes she's still okay, too, but her face is still the way it is.

I love her, I always have. I wish there was a way to fix her up.

I'd rather be watching Jen Lilley as Kiki the mob princess right now, to be honest. I thought she was cute and decent but unremarkable on GH, but DAYS appears to have tapped into something with her and this show could've done the same. Remember when we all thought it would be ludicrous to have her come on as a new character right after playing Maxie? I'd laugh if I wasn't crying inside.

The reason Sabrina is lying is to reinforce that she is virtuous, making a noble sacrifice for the greater good. Juxtapose that with Britt' scheming, plotting, manipulative means, setting Patrick up. But no, not Sparkle Pony she doesn't want him to leave his family for her. I could almost hear Robin Thicke echoing in the air, "cuz she's a good girl"

As she's said in dialog, she doesn't want to break up his happy home he made his choice it wasn't her. She's boldly moving onward stepping out into the fray,

Yes she's lying but its for altruistic reasons, which was reinforced while she held the door ...one beat...two beats... oh the pain of it all, tears flow, then moved on to the Kleenex box, carefully now, slowly.... dab "under" each eye ... ahhhh just so.

Dab pat, blink sniff sniff, dab pat, blink sniff sniff... St. Sabrina, hark! let the angels sing....

don't you feel sorry for her now?

They want the audience to like her and they are still trying way too hard. She' been dealt yet another sympathy card.

I also liked the vets, today had a GH look to it loved Lucy's necklace in her scenes w/Felicia. Nathan looked yummy sitting in Carly' living room he had visual chemistry with the décor.

    • These writers and Frank (especially Frank) have to go!!!
    • I remember the articles and fan letters complaining about Alfonso so I wouldn't be surprised if Alfonso didn't want to talk about her time on the show. She was probably used to being the fan favorite. She got a lot of flack for being the "Ana Alicia replacement" and that hurt her from the beginning.  It's odd that CBS would think that hiring Alfonso would lure Days viewers to the show, but they kept doing that to their daytime soaps (as did NBC with ABC actors) and it rarely worked.

      Kristian Alfonso was a popular daytime star from a show popular with a younger audience that was brought on to an aging primetime soap with the expectation that their huge daytime following would carry over. I don't think she has spoken much about her time on Falcon Crest despite being the show's new pet that became front-burner lead right away. I also don't believe she was hired on the cheap given her daytime popularity and following.  Notice how most of the former daytime actors and actresses that were on the CBS primetime soaps were from ABC or NBC. CBS had so much of their own daytime talent they could have used on their primetime soaps but for whatever reason that didn't happen and I think demographics played a part in that (CBS daytime skewing older than ABC/NBC).
    • Has anyone read Sharon Gabet's memoir? Is it worth reading?
    • Would that ad even appeal to people who watched Falcon Crest at any point? By that point, did anyone really care about the show? I remember people loathing the last season and especially hating Alfonso's character.
    • Thanks @kalbir

    • True enough, and Tony and Annabelle suffer the same problem. And the people Quint and Nola had interacted with were gone--Kelly, Morgan, Helena, Mrs Renfield---even Van's been transplanted to the Lewis enclave. Nola's curiosity could've been used somehow, but after Reva's arrival it seems like Long is obsessed with selling that woman to the audience.  As originally written--no, the Chamberlains weren't stockholders anymore. At least not to my understanding. But any story where Quint and Vanessa teamed up, realizing that Alex had played them, and found some loophole to get back in to restore Henry's legacy would've been welcome. As much as I like India--Spaulding gets weird in '85 with Alex, Phillip, India and Warren fighting amongst themselves.
