Michelle Stafford is so irritating to watch. Shame because she is actually gifted.

I’m underwhelmed by her introduction. Yes, she’s an ambitious go-getter, but she also comes across as a bit naive.
 

The focus on Abby/Chance is baffling. They should be a C-story at best.

I haven’t been totally thrilled about Michelle’s acting since maybe 2010. Honestly I think it’s the writing and directing. The show wants to appeal to younger demographics and it’s turned many of the better actors into cartoons. Or maybe it’s just the effect of being older and not having the energy to go 100% all the time. I noticed the same with Sharon Case and Peter Bergman. 


 

As for Courtney Hope/Sally, I saw very mixed to bad reviews of her online. From what I’ve seen, her acting style is maybe a better fit for GH.  I could totally see her fitting into the show maybe 10 years ago around Jana, Amber, and Kevin, but not the talent that’s currently on the show. She will probably seem more dramatic and outshine many within this new crew and that’s an indictment on them not her.

I’ve seen that too, but part of that I think is because CH/Sally looks so much better compared to Summer/Kyle’s crappy story at the moment not to mention Sally has finally given Theo the spark he needed. Haha don’t understand what the heck is going on with them at the moment nor understand why they even have fans tbh lol. Maybe if Kyle had slept with Lola again it would make more sense than what it does now. 
 

I could spend a whole hour watching people talk to Jill on Zoom like Chance & Abby did the other day as opposed to the other things on this show. Because right now The Who Shot Chance story is a total bust.

So funny to see Melissa Ordway film with her actual husband, allowing Abby and Chance to be actually seated closer than 20 feet away from each other. And kiss. 
 

Justin Gaston is no great thespian, but he’s still 3,000 times more appropriate as Chance.

    • Bloodshed is inevitable now. It’s another reason I’m glad Black people aren’t getting involved in these protests. As awful as this is, I keep reminding myself that 54 percent of Latino men voted for Trump. These people were put in harm’s way by members of their own communities and sometimes even members of their own families. Too many people decided to touch the stove.
    • Maybe I'm still in denial, but nothing about Neighbours' ongoing social media output gives the vibe of a show that's ending. In today's 'Roundup' video, Alan Fletcher referenced that production finishes in five weeks, but in all the show's posts the cast are as jovial and lighthearted as ever. Remarkably so for people who are about to lose their jobs.    Perhaps they're just putting a brave face on things, and I know they approached the previous axing with a positive attitude. Maybe putting an upbeat face on things is a collective way of showing potential backers that there's still life in the show? Or is it possible that they already know the show has been saved, and we'll get an announcement next month when filming wraps and the show 'rests'?   Does any of that make sense?!
    • A very good week for male eye candy on GH. New Michael is beautiful, Curtis's arms looked great in that polo shirt, Cody looks even more handsome with his new haircut AND we got Marco in swim shorts rocking his lovely bod and chest fur.

    • Yeah when Jamey Giddens did breakdowns for DAYS, he would sometimes state in tweets that specific things were his idea that he had pitched to Ron.
    • I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.
    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.
