Members quartermainefan Posted February 11, 2015 Members Share Posted February 11, 2015 well I have to admit I don't follow her career, such as it is, and never heard of these little known films. I won't be checking her out in anything to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angela Posted February 12, 2015 Members Share Posted February 12, 2015 Carl, *snaps* while I wouldn't state it as strongly. She was like in the D-/F (Grading A-F) range in striking chemistry with others and that was due to a general hardness. Somebody in here did a Lucci versus Budig comparison - noting ABCD had a hard on to make her the next Erica - that noted Budig didn't have Lucci's vulnerability or her comedic timing. No, no Budig IMO has good comedic timing. As I said earlier in the thread, "Greenlee" as played by RB was Erica IF Erica had almost no underlying softness (vulnerability) and almost no sex appeal (charisma, chemistry). The bitch part? Fine? The comedic timing? Fine. Somebody in here said the fake pregnancy reveal did not work on AMC? It was better suited for DAYS. Uhm, blasphemy. The fake pregnancy is a staple of soap opera. Nearly every frame of that set of scenes on AMC still gives me chills... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sivad40 Posted February 12, 2015 Members Share Posted February 12, 2015 Given her stint as Michelle Bauer on GL, she's closer to 20 years of acting than 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ellabelle Posted February 12, 2015 Members Share Posted February 12, 2015 I'd have to agree with all of this. RB can do comedy, and she can do bitch with amazing skill. There's just nothing likable there. There was nothing about Greenlee that made me want to root for her. Did I outright hate her at times? Sure. Did I feel sorry for her? No, not really. It's hard to feel sorry for a character you dislike intensely. I will admit that the only times I've really and truly LIKED Greenlee were in fan fiction in which her hard edge was softened a bit and she was given the vulnerability to make her empathetic. As for the new role on GH, of course the character is a "spitfire." I don't know that she has the range to play a sweet or sympathetic character.

Members cassadine1991 Posted February 12, 2015 Members Share Posted February 12, 2015 What about when she played Michelle Bauer on GL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sivad40 Posted February 12, 2015 Members Share Posted February 12, 2015 She played a heroine when she was Michelle, but her work as Greenlee apparently overshadows that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 12, 2015 Members Share Posted February 12, 2015 I wasn't really thinking of her Michelle run as she had less leading men, but yeah, nothing there either. I did think she was OK with Brody Hutzler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted February 12, 2015 Members Share Posted February 12, 2015 Yeah, I thought she/Hutzler had chemistry, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John Posted February 12, 2015 Members Share Posted February 12, 2015 Budig sucked as Michelle IMHO. The best ones were Bethany Lenz and Rachel Miner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JONNYSBRO Posted February 12, 2015 Members Share Posted February 12, 2015 Budig as Michelle wss kind of blah it was her first role but Michelle was a really boring role. Budig plays a much better bitch then good girl. Nothing will ever top Budig and Duhmeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted February 12, 2015 Members Share Posted February 12, 2015 A "Duhmeal"? What's a "Duhmeal"? Doesn't sound too appetizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slick jones Posted February 12, 2015 Members Share Posted February 12, 2015 I didn't mind Budig as Michelle. She was leaps and bounds better than Grandma St. Alban, who played Michelle like Bert or Meta, rather than as a young woman. I just ignored Michelle after she came on.At that point I liked Cassie/ Danny better than Manny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
