Her popularity has always astounded me.  KeMo is a pretty girl and obviously very loyal to GH, but I have never seen such a lethargic female lead.  She's good as a bad girl, but as a good girl ZZZZZZZZ.....She's made a good career out of being a Brenda bot that survived so good for her, I guess.  But Steve Burton had much better chemistry with SJB, KMc, BH etc.  I don't know why GH builds their show on the world's most boring couples.  I guess it's better than the best of Jason and Courtney lol

It's sort of chicken and the egg with PAS, because I honestly don't know if Casey or Danny would have been anything without him. He is one of the most quietly charismatic actors daytime ever had. 

 

Laura tried for a few years as Cassie, but became so cold after a while.

 

Heinle has never been anything close to what she was at Steffi. My rare viewings of Y&R suggest she has improved from her lows at AMC and a lot of her earlier Y&R run, but that isn't saying a hell of a lot. The only interesting thing about her in the last 20 years has been her offcamera love life.

I adore PAS and completely agree. Heinle has good moments, but they are rare.

 

Laura is very capable, as Ally showed, but she’s not really going to offer much beyond what’s on the script, which she’ll play big and to the hilt. She’s playing Carly exactly as written. It’s just the writing sucks and is one-dimensional.

Laura does solid work with mostly dreck, but Sarah will always be the definitive Carly.

 

LW's best chemistry was with Sean Kanan and Ingo, and separating her from them is a blunder the character has never recovered from. LW created her own power base in the role paired with Jax; her Carly was evolved from Sarah's and gone full bougie but the grit and steel were still there, and she didn't need Sonny or Jason central in her life to have money or to flex. As bad as the stories got, when LW's Carly vowed vengeance on Lulu or Dante over some dumb shït you believed she could and would do it.

LW does her best work when she's working on crazy schemes.  She is unintentionally hilarious.  The best part of Brenda's 2010 return was LW's Carly's head exploding little by little at Brenda's existence and her sheer glee at trying to ruin Brenda and Dante's lives.  That's when I became a fan.  

I loved her with Jax.  It's so stupid to waste Ingo/Jax on Nina when there is no chem there.  LW and IR just fit better than her and MB ever will.  Even though I am not truly sure why Jax decided to take Carly on in the first place lol.

I agree with this. She does feel like a formidable opponent to whomever she’d go up against. And you’re not just going to clown her in a scene, whether you’re Maura West or Jane Elliot or Sarah Brown herself. She’s not Amelia Heinle, who gets blown off the screen in scenes with Mark Grossman as she tries to be big and bad.


The evolution of Carly does make *some* sense. I could see how someone with her roots could harden into an arrogant, imperious society mom with money and power on her side. I just don’t buy the big love for Sonny. Every scene between her and Mo feels false.

I haven't watched GH much since LW took over, probably watched a solid year after she took over the role before I stopped watching and would only catch an episode or week here or there. I still don't think of her as Carly and when I do watch nowadays it still takes me a while to register that she's Carly and not some other random character.

I’m hoping that Frank and Mo’s relationship, or whatever you can call it, comes to a head now that Dominic Zamprogna has made it clear that he wants to come back but Frank has now paired Lulu with one of his OLTL friends

If Sam had been played by any other actress she would've been gone years and years ago... like after the Sonny/Sam affair. They could've killed Sam off while giving birth to Baby Lilaaaa. She flopped immediately with that Dead Man's Hand story with IR so they threw her at MB. They kept at it because the network loved KeMo. She finally lucked out with Jasam but the girl has never had a memorable performance or storyline IMO. Just so boring and such a waste of airtime. She's clearly miserable.

 

I'd actually rather watch a Jason and Courtney collection. At least I could see Tamara, Cynthia Preston and Rick Hearst again. lol.

    • Nothing about Joss ever works. I can't blame them for trying a completely fresh approach for her, but she needs to be written out. 
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  Some of this sounds strong but it's all so heavy and some elements, like with Felicia and Charles, almost veer on parody. L&L seemed to always be a heavy show - did they ever even have comic relief moments? - but I do wonder if it all became too much for viewers.
    • It's a joke. If there's a way to put Joss into a WSB spy story that works, I haven't seen it. What they're doing is just ridiculous. Imagine trusting a huge operation to someone who "finished training" a month ago. I think they're trying to make this work by having a college-age agent be a part of the professor's class, etc. It might look acceptable on paper, but it doesn't work when you see it.
    • Monday, after the party, Leslie showed up at the Duprees. Martin was with everyone as they listened to her for a bit. Then Martin said he was needed at home.  Anita and Vernon knew he was upset and they were concerned. Vernon asked "Do you need Titus, or are you okay to drive?"  Martin said he was okay and left to drive himself home. Either Titus is a chauffeur or just some helpful all-around employee.
    • if only Dante had admitted to hating string instruments earlier....

    • I know the other soaps talk about staff help who we never see (especially Y&R with all those ridiculous "Mrs. Martinez" mentions), but I wanted BTG to do better.
    • @Franko As requested 1976 story summary. I'll be posting it in parts as it is very lengthy  and probably too much to take in at once.  Since 1951 the story of the residents of the town ofRosehill, Love of Life, has revolved around the livesof Vanessa (Van) and Margaret (Meg) Dale and their families. ' Van, now married to Bruce Sterling, finds her husband has become mayor due to the death of the former mayor, Jeff Hart, who was her sister Meg’s husband. Meg offered her son Ben half a million dollars as a wedding gift to marry refined and responsible Betsy Crawford and thus abandon his playboy existence. The offer was so good that Ben married Betsy with alacrity despite the fact that he was already married to Arlene Lovett, a fact very few people knew. Arlene reluctantly agreed to the bigamous marriage on Ben’s assurance that as soon:as he had his hands on the money they would skip town. However, Meg decided Ben needed more time to become responsible for such a large sum of money and has held up the gift. Attorney Jamie Rollins has discovered discrepancies in Ben’s stories concerning his close friendship with Arlene but has been thwarted in his attempts to expose Ben by Ben and Arlene’s successful blackmail retaliation.They drugged him and took suggestive pictures of him in bed with Arlene, which they now threaten to show to Diana Lamont, Jamie’s lover, who is carrying his child. Knowing that Diana’s health and age make carrying this child dangerous to her, Jamie can do nothing. Ben is horrified to discover Betsy is now pregnant, too. Felicia Lamont, married to Diana’s ex-husband, Charles, has been unable to consummate her marriage due to extreme emotional frigidity. Charles has been exceedingly patient, but Felicia’s emotional torment has been increased by the constant harassment of hoodlum/rapist Arnie Logan, whose subtle terror campaign is apparent only to Felicia, thus making her appear to be emotionally unstable. Only Eddie Aleata, Meg’s ex-husband, seems aware of the tortures Felicia is undergoing. Caroline (Cal) Aleata, Meg’s daughter, is becoming romantically involved with Rick Lattimer, formerly married to Bruce’s daughter Barbara, to the dismay of his business partner in the Beaver Ridge Club, who has him earmarked as her latest lover—Cal’s mother, Meg! Realizing that she is an accomplice, albeit unwillingly,in her- husband Ben’s bigamy, Arlene Lovett (Harper) tells attorney Jamie Rollins that she and Ben were once married but divorced before his return to Rosehill. To: prove good faith, Arlene gives Jamie the negatives of compromising pictures of him with Arlene that Ben set up, hoping they could keep Jamie in line by threatening to send them to his wife-to-be, Diana Lamont, who at forty is pregnant for the first time, and thus vulnerable. Jamie finds Diana collapsed on the floor and rushes her to the hospital, where their son is born prematurely. Learning that Diana found a partially burned picture of him and Arlene in bed, Jamie blames himself. The baby, Adam Jonathan. Rollins, has respiratory problems and cannot be saved. Diana feels she has lost everything, recalling the picture as well as the baby. Di and Jamie start to make plans for the future. Then Dr. Albertson informs them that | more tests are necessary, as a shadow appeared on her final X-rays. Exploratory surgery is scheduled, and Diana is shattered to learn later that a hysterectomy was necessary. Ben again asks his mother when she’s going  to give the wedding present (Ben married Betsy Crawford because Meg promised a half million dollars, but she postponed the gift until Christmas, and still hasn’t delivered.) Betsy tells Meg she’s destroying Ben’s manhood by dangling the money in front of him. Learning that Ben is into Ray Slater, a gambler, for six thousand dollars, Meg withdraws her promise of the money. When Ray informs Ben that his loan, with interest, is now up to nine thousand dollars, Ben threatens to go to the police. Ray replies that it’s the money or Ben’s skin, and when Ben tries to slip out of town, he’s badly beaten by collection men and dumped in the snow. Found by two backpackers, Ben is taken to a small hospital with a skull fracture and pneumonia. Meg is stunned to discover that her partner in Beaver Ridge Club, Rick Latimer, whom she considers her private property, is in love with her daughter,Cal. Learning that Cal and Rick are planning a weekend together, Meg arranges an immediate audit of the Beaver Ridge books, keeping Rick in town. Meg’s plot backfires, however, when the audit reveals that Meg wrote the down payment for her next project, the Priestly Estate venture, on the Beaver Ridge construction account. Meg replaces the money, but Rick warns her to stop trying to run his life or he’ll press misappropriation charges. Felicia Lamonte has been harassed by a young hoodlum, Arnie Logan, who has served time for assault and rape. At her painting studio she is again accosted by Logan, and she pulls out her gun, scaring him off. Unable to reach her husband, Charles, she calls Edouard Aleata, who has reinterested her in painting, and he arrives with the police. Charles, finding Eddie there with Felicia, fuels his growing suspicion that there’s something other than friendship between them. Because he’s already jealous, Arnie’s new harassment—notes to Charles that Felicia is unfaithful seem believable. Felicia convinces Charles that a week apart will help their marriage, and in looking over her paintings, she realizes she has grown as a person and feels ready to be a woman. She calls Charles, telling him she no longer wants to be his child virgin bride, but a real wife to him. Later, hearing someone at the door, Felicia assumes it is Charles, and is grabbed by Arnie when she opens it. He drags her downstairs, but she manages to escape and get back to her studio and her gun. Hearing footsteps outside, she fires blindly. Cautiously,she then goes to the door to find Charles lying there. He is rushed to the hospital, where it is discovered that the bullet is lodged in his spine. He’ll recover, but will be paralyzed. Logan is picked up, and charges are confirmed when other victims come forward with similar stories STAY TUNED.MORE TO COME...
    • They've talked about having staff at the Dupree house, like Rowena the chef. I just don't think we've seen them.  
    • Really an excellent point. I'm worried about Derek but he's not working. The Duprees being too good somehow ... well, if they say it instead of be it, okay yes, I would worry but as long as they keep on being good, geeze, that's something to celebrate, not worry!!!  Party on?!
    • I blame Mitch.
