Thanks. It's really, really hard to find a good Catelyn avatar. I'm not sure I ever will.

Poor Fran Drescher. She's not that bad ohmy.png

I guess at least we're supposed to hate Levi, but damn does he scare me. He looks like The Undertaker had a baby with the last Casey on ATWT.

If the show did make Nathan bi (which i feel is still in the relm of possibility) and he was paired with felix (provided the role was recast becuz MS is just a waste at this time) I think it could provide the character of felix much needed character growth. It could be interesting to have felix deal with a bf who swang both ways.

Wow? Well, SID is a total joke as far as I'm concerned so that's not too surprising. Unless it's SOD, then even then that wouldn't really surprise me at this point either.

I sort of feel bad for Paevey that's all they can bother to comment on. No, he's far from a great actor but he seems like a nice enough guy and to start acting and just have that be what people call him? I'd be a little upset if I were in his shoes.

I like Nathan. I can tell Ryan is trying and he's improved a bit since he started. Both the actor and character come off as very genuine to me and I can't say I've had a problem with either so far.

He and Jordan (for obvious reasons) are the least offensive newbies we've had in quite some time, probably since Ellie.

This [!@#$%^&*] board ate my message, I'm over this [!@#$%^&*].

As I was saying, I think Ryan Paevey seems like a nice enough fellow and it's nice that this lousy character and his poor acting have become comedy fodder for fans, but an endearing RL persona and unintentional comedy fodder does not a main character make. His pairing with Maxie is lame, he can't act, his backstory and that whole storyline is godawful. The only thing he's good for, IMO, is to back up the cops and be Anna's next conquest. That's it. But they're trying to set him up as a major new male lead, and I just can't get behind that in any way. I cannot deal with him being on three days a week in some storyline.

I dont think that NP has it any worst than any newbie from the fans. But its kind of taking it to extreme when the soap magazines calls him Sexypants. They wouldnt dare go there if it was an actress would they?

NP certainly looks good but if he didnt would they refer to him as Dtv Uglypants?

I think RP is okay and certainly watchable as long as they don't give him any dramatic material (which is kind of a problem since he's on a soap opera). These past few weeks when he's just been a cop and having scenes with Maxie and what not he's been okay and seems to be improving, but when they give him heavy stuff like the Nina storyline? Awful. Like a few weeks ago we had those scenes with him and Madeline in jail where he was shouting about how Nina liked to dance and run and ride horses and YOU TOOK THAT AWAY FROM HER MADELINE!!! Terrible. I'm afraid we're going to be in for a lot of cringeworthy "emotional" stuff from him when Nina shows up soon.

I mostly just think she's so annoying, offensive, and obnoxious. She's not talentless but I think she has just about the most grating acting style possible. I was naming actresses that I think are horrible and very offputting at the same time. The other three I listed, for instance, are horrible and very offputting/unlikable at the same time.

Anyway, Paevey is still too wooden. If he's not given a lot and doesn't have to do much emoting, he's not too bad. I think he's stopped using the cue cards but he's still so hollow and lost. He looks good and has a nice body but that's about it. Actually, maybe he works out a bit too much!

Detective Sexypants?! Sounds like those teen girls with overinflated egos thinking they're some kind of local celebrity who wear glittery hot pink. Ugh!

I don't know what it takes for horrific actors to get fired or leave these days. A long time ago atrocious actors took a hike immediately and were never on daytime ever again. Charity Rahmer (Belle, DAYS); Ken Kenitzer (Kevin, OLTL); Hunter Garner (Billy Ross, ATWT); Javier Morga (Tico Santi, OLTL). And many others too! But today it seems like the worse you are the more likely you are to stay around and keep getting work even if your acting is almost universally hated.

Maybe you should ask Justin Gaston, matthewson. He seems to have figured what it take (or doesnt) to get fired on the spot :P

The worst actress on GH was and will forever be J robin miller who was so horrible i never understood why they picked her to take over as Lydia Karenin (nik's mail-order bride) and while her stint was far too long for my taste she only last a couple of months.

I will say NP is indeed improving from his cue-card reading days but even up against the awfulness of Levi Nathan is still just a ok character.

He should have done the whoopy with Britt before he found out they were related.

      Steal her away from Y&R and make her "Sharon".  
    • -- I continue to enjoy DAYS post-Carlivati. These women have done a great job in refocusing the show. -- It sounds nuts not to agree with "rapists and murderers shouldn't be romantic leads." But then you get characters like Xander and EJ, and you have to put an asterisk after that quote. I enjoy both characters far too much to want them off the show or thrown in jail. They're romantic leads, but you can't tell me they haven't faced consequences. -- I think the Xander beatdown of Phillip was well-directed -- and in character. Some people here believe Xander went too far. Well, that's who Xander is, and we've seen that many times over these past years. He thought he had family, and then realized it was all a lie, so he resorted back to his animal roots. -- The Stephanie Racy Book storyline is soooooo bad. I had to laugh that she couldn't find her manuscript in that 2x4 apartment.
    • Both Philip and Xander should be in jail, period.
    • 5-14   AMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYY!!! Thank the Lord! lol. But at least I now have something of interest to watch. So good to see Audra and Amy reunited. hehe. I also liked the continued bonding between Damian and Nate. Side-note...those pants on SD and all of that cake is PERFECTION. Mmmm.   I also enjoyed the continued dragging of Billy. First by the son. And then by the father. lol. Billy standing there and being so insufferable and wonder why people are giving him the business. He can stay at that bar and STFU. Double for Chelesa.    And ugh at Giggly Heffa wasting Victor's (and the audience's) time with her inability to spit it out. At least she made up for it by calling Dumas directly. I was just talking about how I love near-miss in the BTG thread, but the difference here is that the Dumas part of the Damian storyline has gone on too long. So her near-miss was annoying. 
    • Agreeing with your agreeing, and I bet that any urge toward violence against Sarah is what will cause Xander to try to redeem himself. Even though, as you mentioned the other day, I have enjoyed the buildup.  It seems like everyone easily forgave Philip for stealing from Xander.  And their defense was that Victor wanted his two sons to work together.  Until, finally, Xander exploded and realized that Victor wanted what he wrote in his will, days before his death.  If Philip had led an actual legal battle for the estate, then Xander might have capitulated.  But, Philip made him look like a fool.  Because Philip was too smug to simply ask Xander for what he thought he deserved.  I was shocked/enthralled by how raw they allowed Xander to express his rage.  I don't think that would have been allowed before streaming, yet they show people with guns weekly on GH.  I also want to point out that there is still the inorganic nature that neither person in a fight can swear, that I always find distracting. noted for the contrarians, that is not a defense for violence  -- I assume we are all of sound mind, and know right from wrong. - I also know it airs on network TV in other countries, so they still abide by network daytime standards. - blah blah blah
    • I imagine Philip will refuse to identify Xander because he knows he orchestrated this mess and tanked his brother's marriage. Eventually I hope to see Philip and Xander reconciling their awful crimes against each other and restoring that brother bond.  And Xander needs therapy. He was twisted into what he is by Victor's cruelty and has zero anger management skills. Having said that I think this was more a gross writing choice than anything else. One punch would have sufficed for sure but they wanted to show us Sarah was "right". Never mind that she created this situation by helping Xander love his brother so the betrayal was far worse. If he'd heard the truth immediately he would have had Philip arrested and fired him. But Sarah wanted Philip to be her mole to control her husband at work. Who never needed it as he's run Titan just fine on his own before.
    • Oh that's right. Thanks. Thanks @dc11786 I guess Conroy did last for a bit. Never knew why AW didn't see his potential either.
    • May 19, 2025 Fairman interviews Lynn Herring about the Nurses Ball. Excellent interview and no GH spoilers. CAUTION There is a minor DAYS spoiler from 12:15 to 14:15, so if you are Days spoiler-free, then skip those two minutes. Thus intentionally posting the link instead of embedding the youtube.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYXKsKa1xTE
