Members Aback Posted May 26, 2020 Members Share Posted May 26, 2020 This reminded me of this video. Not that it's anything to go by, but literally nobody was a fan of the character of Cricket. She was asked: - about her father and if she could influence the writing. - about Michael Damien - if Cricket would ever become nastier. Hardly a fan favorite, especially opposite DD and JW who were receiving more insightful questions, I'd say. I liked Isabella! Until they ruined the story with Cricket's black wig, Isabella's fake death and her threatening Cricket's life. Sorry, that was too much. (and it had Jack Smith's stamp all over it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted May 26, 2020 Members Share Posted May 26, 2020 It's so weird though, isn't it? Sonny, Carly, et. al have ruined GH but you'll still find people who are ride or die for them yet Christine fans are still in the closet. I was pretty indifferent to Chris when I started watching, she didn't bother me or impress me and Lauralee seems like a lovely woman who didn't let being the boss' daughter go to her head. Maybe a lot of the audience were like me and fairly indifferent to the character and watching for the goings on, not necessarily what was going on with Cricket in a "What is Christine up to?" and more "What could possibly happen to Christine now?"

Members Aback Posted May 26, 2020 Members Share Posted May 26, 2020 I agree. I think the audience was indifferent to Cricket. As for LLB, I too think she must be an extremely lovely woman, she's a competent actress and I'd be curious to see her work as a writer. I'd be lying if I said that the exposure to Cricket we've experienced in the classics hadn't felt like overkill... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted May 26, 2020 Members Share Posted May 26, 2020 Lauralee Bell is the daytime equivalent of Tori Spelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted May 26, 2020 Members Share Posted May 26, 2020 I can’t agree with that. She grew into a competent soap actress. She was also way more a story focus than Tori ever was on 90210. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted May 26, 2020 Members Share Posted May 26, 2020 @titan1978 I meant in the sense that both of them had their careers handed to them by their fathers. To Lauralee's credit, she didn't go off the rails after Bill Bell's passing the way Tori has since Aaron Spelling passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted May 26, 2020 Members Share Posted May 26, 2020 Why is CLB on contract? The character is played out and never on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fevuh Posted May 27, 2020 Members Share Posted May 27, 2020 I clicked by today because I’ve watched some of the classic episodes but this must have been when I really stopped watching. I watched for about 3 minutes and didn’t know a ainglw character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members trainman Posted May 27, 2020 Members Share Posted May 27, 2020 Today's US episode is pretty decent for showing rarely seen parts of the expanded Newman Ranch set (the old one) hosting a gala, and then Kevin as he's about to light Gina's on fire, which used to be Jonas' and Pierre's prior to that, dating back to the start of Y&R.

Members BoldRestless Posted May 27, 2020 Members Share Posted May 27, 2020 That's a good one. According to the recap, it's all Abbot with no other scenes: https://www.soapcentral.com/yr/recaps/2006/060821.php#thu Now I wonder what the last episode will be... worried it might be Patty shooting Jack or something. I don't think Colleen is remembered enough on the show for them to do something with her death. Maybe Delia's death, but thats more a Billy Miller showcase than the Abbot family.

Members Fevuh Posted May 27, 2020 Members Share Posted May 27, 2020 It was always heavily rumored that Lauralee is why Terry Lester quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted May 27, 2020 Members Share Posted May 27, 2020 Was Jack's role diminished as Cricket's rose? Or was he just upset at the nepotism? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
