Members YRBB Posted May 6, 2020 Members Share Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) Hmmm, then you fall into the second category as I described! So, you stop! LOL Edited May 6, 2020 by YRBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alan Posted May 6, 2020 Members Share Posted May 6, 2020 Shari Shattuck for life! In all seriousness, I think that ED is the definitive Ashley. I think she is the only actress who has been able to fully flesh out Ashley in all her complexity. BE's Ashley was like a different character. She was a sweet heroine, and lacked the edge that ED brings to the role. It's the same issue with SH as Kristen on DOOL. Actresses who take over ED's roles are only able to play one note of her characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted May 6, 2020 Members Share Posted May 6, 2020 LOL! Yep. BE might as well have been a different character. Again, it goes back to not liking Ashley and then she becomes a sweet heroine. So it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OzFrog Posted May 6, 2020 Members Share Posted May 6, 2020 You should watch the 1989 playlist I’ve been watching lately. 1989 seemed to be all about Cricket and her new found family (including ex-fiance Scott, as well as her long long father and her previously estranged mother).

Members YRBB Posted May 6, 2020 Members Share Posted May 6, 2020 Thank God that long-lost father got lost again. *Shudders* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juppiter Posted May 6, 2020 Members Share Posted May 6, 2020 I loved Nikki stripping! I miss soaps going out of their way to be outrageous. And then you’d be on the phone for 45 minutes with your mom or your girl friend, “Did you see Y&R today?! I couldn’t believe Nikki stripped!” I miss the 90s y’all.

Members Soapsuds Posted May 6, 2020 Author Members Share Posted May 6, 2020 Poor Peter Barton so hot and sexy but such a mediocre actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted May 6, 2020 Members Share Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) I wonder if Nikki getting drunk and making a fool of herself was Bill Bell's way of planting the seed for Nikki's substance abuse that started later that year.

Members OzFrog Posted May 6, 2020 Members Share Posted May 6, 2020 Oh come now, John O’Hurley wasn’t that bad in the role (although I do find it funny that he was supposed to play Scott’s father, and yet was only 2 years older than Peter Barton in real life Please register in order to view this content ).

Members Soapsuds Posted May 6, 2020 Author Members Share Posted May 6, 2020 WJB couldn't make her stick so she got an Insta family. I never bought her and Scott being siblings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted May 6, 2020 Members Share Posted May 6, 2020 I wonder what would’ve happened if Victor married Cassandra in 1990 instead of Ashley? I imagine her relationship with a teenage Victoria would have ever been more volatile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRBB Posted May 6, 2020 Members Share Posted May 6, 2020 He was so pretty though. Please register in order to view this content Ultimately, it worked out fine. Lauren and Sheila needed an excuse to feud. He was there for that purpose. Also, "poor" Barton: How can you shine next to Brown and Bergman, especially at the height of their powers? Impossible! There was definitely improvement when Bell toned it down a little (a little - I mean, Cricket still appears in an episode to have sex with Danny even when you don't need her lol) and, most importantly, when Lauralee started improving as an actress (thanks to the date rape story). I'll always give her credit for that: Mediocre as she is, she worked on the craft and improved. It also helped that Danny and Cricket were genuinely nice and sweet.

Members dragonflies Posted May 6, 2020 Members Share Posted May 6, 2020 Theres also those of us who just dont like ED in the role, nothing to do with anyone else lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted May 6, 2020 Members Share Posted May 6, 2020 Depends what you mean by "not bad". Was he a decent actor? Sure. Was he creepy? Oh God YES. And when he started pawing Nikki? Ew. I had no idea there was only a 2 year difference. He seemed like a cryptkeeper compared to Barton lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
