Members ajsp35801 Posted May 5, 2014 Members Share Posted May 5, 2014 More than likely they just decided that this would be a way to keep Grimes on the show. Nothing more, nothing less. I doubt the decision had anything to do with thinking CK incapable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted May 5, 2014 Members Share Posted May 5, 2014 Am I the only one who doesn't find Grimes all that great and many are operating off of nostalgia? I'm not seeing the big deal at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted May 5, 2014 Members Share Posted May 5, 2014 My interest in her seems to come from her being leaps and bounds better than MO and RW. If she were sharing scenes with someone else I would feel apathetic about her like I did when she was playing ghost Cassie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted May 5, 2014 Members Share Posted May 5, 2014 The material these days is just non existent. It's not Grimes fault that she is not super stellar. The show is not terribe but it totally lacks "it". The high class confrontations, the climax, the excitement. It's likeable but just "there".

Members ChitHappens Posted May 5, 2014 Members Share Posted May 5, 2014 Grimes is getting no worse than anyone else. I don't find her as wonderful as she is made out to be and to think that CBS/Sony/YR are possibly going thru hoops to keep this young woman boggles the mind. She's ordinary at best.

Members Khan Posted May 5, 2014 Members Share Posted May 5, 2014 In a way, Camryn Grimes reminds me of Erin Torpey (ex-Jessica, OLTL). Both were very talented as child actors on their respective soaps -- or, at least, it seemed they were more "together" than the average soap kid (see Eddie Alderson). However, as they've aged, neither have, IMO, transitioned completely or all that well onto the same level as their more seasoned colleagues. Subsequently, because their ranges are now limited, so, too, are their potential as viable players on these shows. Even if Jack Smith hadn't killed off Cassie all those years ago, I believe Y&R would have needed to re-cast the girl at some point due to this very fact.

Members Juliajms Posted May 6, 2014 Members Share Posted May 6, 2014 I'll take her over CK and that terrible actress who plays Abby. I don't think she's the best ever, but given the currant crop of talent on Y&R, she's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soaplovers Posted May 6, 2014 Members Share Posted May 6, 2014 My thoughts on Cady as Kelly is that she doesn't play Kelly as trying to get over the death of her child, of her marriage, nor trying to rebuild her life. She seems to show more angst over dating or not dating Jack then the above mentioned things. I know she has a different view of the character, but I think she should have played the character a little more on edge and then gradually morphed her into the character she envisions.

Members ajsp35801 Posted May 6, 2014 Members Share Posted May 6, 2014 CBS/Sony/YR jumping through hoops for mediocre talent is common practice nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted May 6, 2014 Members Share Posted May 6, 2014 I think Cady M. has the scraps, they just need to write her as they wrote for CW. Pained and raw are Kelly's attributes. That is how she needs to be written. Then, over time she should evolve. She has changed too quickly. She also should have fought Jack's interest a little harder.

Members Junita Posted May 6, 2014 Members Share Posted May 6, 2014 No, you're not alone in your thoughts. While I recall liking Cassie in her earlier years, the character has just been too overhyped. Not taking anything away from Camryn Grimes, b/c she's a talented actress, but they've just taken the Cassie praise so far that they feel she can fit any role. I'm already disappointed they decided to make her Mariah when its obvious she doesn't fit the image we were introduced to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sivad40 Posted May 6, 2014 Members Share Posted May 6, 2014 I would add Robyn Richards (ex-Maxie, GH) and Kristen Alderson (ex-Starr, OLTL, Kiki, GH) to that list. If she's so great, why didn't she successfully transitioned over into primetime or into one of the teen oriented network shows (ABC Family, Nickelodeon, Disney, CW,etc)?

Members Antoyne Posted May 6, 2014 Members Share Posted May 6, 2014 I don't think transitioning to Nick or Disney is really a measure of ANYONE's talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
