The chemistry between AL's Colleen (a. a role that I vastly preferred to hers on GH, even if she was the daughter of my beloved Nedley and Lois; b. who was a fantastic way to transition Colleen into young womanhood after LF left) and Korbel is what prevented it from being a terrible turn for the character. Under lesser chops, it would've damaged the standing of Colleen in my eyes.

I've been afraid to check out her take on Colleen because of the massive backlash against her (the fact that they killed the character off instead of recasting her is a huge red flag) and prefer to remember her without the stench of bad acting (from what I've heard of AL's replacement aplenty).

I really didn't like Justis Bolding as the last Sarah on OLTL. She ruined the character for me, and she had no chemistry with Andrea Evans. I didn't feel a bond between Tina and Sarah because Justis was a bad actress and so unlikable.

Eric Martsolf seems to be a nice guy offscreen but I really don't get the appeal of him. He's not THAT good looking and he comes across as smarmy and full of himself onscreen. Didn't like him on Passions and don't like him on DAYS from what I've seen. He seems like a low rent Ryan Reynolds to me in terms of looks and acting style. He's a decent actor but not likable.

Cynthia Preston is a competent actress and I like her but she is TERRIBLE at playing a villainess. So I didn't enjoy anything from what I saw of her GH run. I've seen her try to play vixens in a couple movies and she was so bad at it. From all of her roles where she's a villainess/vixen, she gets very one note and shrill. She's much, much better at being a heroine or a supporting character.

I don't get what was so terrible about Alexandra Wilson on Another World. She was great as Josie but most people thought she was very annoying.

I never understood what was so great about Sal Stowers and her Cassandra character on online All My Children.

The story line, more suited for Days of Our Lives rather than AMC, was tedious and Stowers' acting reached the point of sheer camp. Truth is, I found myself laughing at several key moments when I knew I wasn't supposed to.

AND, although I had been watching AMC since 1992, I had never even heard of this person before.

The only good thing that came of this was by year's end when Soap Opera Digest deemed the clunker to be the Worst Story of the Year.

    • Monday's episode(what was today's before the pre emption) is posted   https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/CAD_kZcynpkzM5vrwPg77Hh5MQD3hTbH/
    • Denise had so much inherent warmth, yet also layered her work with neuroses and emotion, making sure her characters were never as one-dimensional as the writing could have been. She was one of the first high profile poachings from one soap to another, which could have been a recipe for disaster, but she worked hard and turned Lesley into such an integral part of GH's rebuilding. The show may not have survived the '70s without her.  I wish they'd done more with Lesley when they brought her back in 1996. I hope more of Denise's run at DAYS will appear. I enjoyed Denise's work on AW, in a very underwritten part - it felt like she was just hitting her stride in playing the role when she left.  We are losing so many of our legends, but in moments like this I try to just be grateful we had them for as long as we did.  I do feel terrible for those at GH as they've been hit hard the last few years. 
    • Before my time, but besides Lesley, I know many say her work on Days as Susan was fabulous. I saw a clip, when Julie met Doug for the first time (with Susan the one that introduced them as BJ Hunnicutt David Banning was in the background!)... But so much of her work as Susan is not available. May Denise Alexander rest in peace!
    • Oh, no. I came in at the tail end of her Susan Martin run on Days and instantly loved her. I started watching GH because of her, not the Luke & Laura phenom. And though I thought AW wasted her as Mary McKinnon, her talent and charisma was still on full display. Thanks for the memories, Denise. 
    • I didn’t know if you were being serious or not for a second I really feel like the way they’re mixing up who’s interacting with who, a couple of changes to the overall look (lighting, camera angles) and a few actors having changes in hairstyle etc (Naomi and Nicole are the first that comes to mind), there may have been a break in production before this week’s episodes were shot and they’ve reassessed a few things (in particular I noticed the lighting has improved and a lot of my gripes around the makeup - particularly on some of the female cast has also improved - two things which go hand in hand), perhaps some episodes have been edited and moved around to still give the Friday cliffhanger which is why Derek and Ashley were edited out of an episode they were slated to appear in etc. Regardless, this week has been excellent and I’ve noticed the actor who plays Martin is improving and Hayley too - especially given how poorly the Hayley character is written and how her personality / motivation changes from scene to scene.

    • Didn't she look good. First thing I thought. As I was watching I was thinking Timon Durrett is a damn good actor. I fell out! Oh man, this is going to be good. I'm starting to go along with Eva may not be her biological daughter.
    • And, the first storyline I remember was DAYS Susan & David & Julie & poor baby Dickie. Denise as Susan was the STAR of that story. 
    • A masterclass. A true masterclass.
