HA! I totally agree.


One more unpopular opinion: I am as happy to see Jill on my screen as the next person, however I cannot stand JW's acting style. She gets hysteric, waving her hands all around and just never demanding respect. You see Jill and you see someone you can totally stump on, because you just know nothing will happen besides the screaming and shouting. I wish she would start acting more like a cold-hearted, intimidating matriarch who is holding it together...

Jill goes from 1 to 1,000,000 in a nano second for no reason. I think TPTB believe it's a throwback when it's more annoying than anything. She doesn't have conversations anymore so I can't enjoy it. While I appreciate the history lessons, this show needs to move forwards and Jill needs to grow!

I'm tired of the Faith angst.  I have a con call but was listening and she's whining about wanting to choose where to live.  She's spent months asking if she could go home with Sharon or go home with Nick.  She's chosen on many occasions to go to one place or the other -  not always Nick or Sharon fighting over it.  Wahhh wahhh your family is loaded and you have such a tough life.  Sorry, I'm a cold hearted *itch....but shut up already.  I heard her decision and I want Sharon or Nick or both to say...OK, you made your decision now you understand...you're not going to be pitting us all against each other if you don't get your way, wanting to go here or there when things don't work out for ya.  You made your choice, now live with it.

No, and I wouldn't want her to be written as such, but characters being in romantic relationships is a part of the show. That's why I mentioned Adam and Hilary being a good match. Adam was ruthless and Hilary is ruthless. I'm not really a fan of Michael Muhney but I remember he had some chemistry with the actress who played Skye and Hilary kind of reminds me of her.

Any character worth a lick should not be defined by the man/woman they are involved with. That's been the BIGGEST problem with soap writing for years now. When a character is brought into the story, they need to establish who the character is--then start to interact with a love interest.

 

Romance is important, but if the character is only there for the pairing, then they become easily replaceable.

 

 

Gloria:  "Kevin, she looks just like you"  Really, Bella looks like a forty year old Queen with a receding hairline?

 

I'm enjoying a break from the GCBuzz set, but I miss the characters.

 

Faith is a spoiled brat, but she(like Noah) has a point about the fighting.

 

At least Gloria asked about Adam's death/Chloe.

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
