Last time I was on this board, I was thinking that something specific should happen with Chelsea's career and it looks as if a part of it is going to happen, albeit in a sloppily written manner:

.

I wish they'd use the story to take some of these characters in a more multfaceted direction but I'm pretty sure that's not what we're going to get.

She used to be known for selecting the actors she thought deserved the awards, and getting her team to all vote the way she wanted them to. It was pretty common for her to only have one actor per category so she could sweep as many categories as possible. But other soaps started doing it too and it became less effective overall. People on her shows have spoken about it, I don't think its a rumor just fact. Some of the OLTL folks didn't like it as I recall, but did enjoy the show getting more attention.

Does anyone have more info on Sophia Pernas? I just read at Soaps.com that she will be joining the show starting June 1st. and she will be interacting with major characters. She looks like she may become part of the Scoobies story.

Yes, the notorious favoritism and block voting issues.

What may be most important is that she's known to have an uncanny knack for choosing the best reels to submit. With the exception of Erika Slezak (who was the ultimate pro at this), most actors are terrible at choosing reels because they let their own subjective criteria override what voters will appreciate.

Glad I missed it. My DVR only recorded the first minute and a half....

I still dont know who thought Burgess Jenkins would make a great Billy. He totally has no screen presense. He is dull as dirt when he delivers his lines.

    • lol he sounds like he's speaking as Randy    
    • Dani going to Bill's house is karma for how he messes with Martin. It is totally separate, but I can't feel sorry for Bill when he's constantly antagonizing a family he says he wants nothing to do with.
    • I understand what Lois did. I can see everyone's side, even if I don't agree with them.  That  proves it's a good story    Lois is far from ruined
    • Oh wow. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
    • The character of Lois has been ruined and trashed. There's no coming back from this mess. The current production and writing team have had no idea as to what made her special to begin with. She had a bit of moral fiber. Her treatment on the show is not atypical though, as most characters will get trashed, even beyond redemption, if it serves the current flavor of the month plotline.
    • No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

    • I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.
    • You would think that, wouldn't you? I'd almost think they needed the money to get Robert Newman back, but they also had to know Larkin wasn't going to stick around and play second banana either. I don't get what the writers thought they were doing with Calla. Long liked using actors from Texas, but other than Alex/Bev McKinsey, the characters she wrote for them seemed blah.
    • Bo has a bad history with kids named Zach. (too soon?)
    • Christie said in her interview this week -- that before taping this, she had recently started taking acting classes again, and had been doing some work in England, so that helped her to jump into Carrie for this (as well as it being all so familiar, it really was home.)
