Members amybrickwallace Posted July 9, 2021 Members Share Posted July 9, 2021 Do you think they would have worked well together had he stayed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted July 9, 2021 Members Share Posted July 9, 2021 I thought they had chemistry, but Ava is also different since Kiki was killed and her experience with Ryan, which makes for a different type of couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted July 9, 2021 Members Share Posted July 9, 2021 Very true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted July 10, 2021 Members Share Posted July 10, 2021 They had plenty of chemistry. My issue was with how they played it back then - sappy Ava talking about her childhood dreams of being a princess. That's not who Ava is and depicting her in a normal relationship as a quasi-good person doesn't work. But the chemistry is there with both Niks.

Members titan1978 Posted July 10, 2021 Members Share Posted July 10, 2021 They almost had the potential with original Ava (they still needed to walk her back a little though) and Nikolas as a new Monica and Alan. Lots of heat and plenty of toxicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted July 10, 2021 Members Share Posted July 10, 2021 I just can't see Ava/Nik working with TC in the role. I never saw TC as an engaging leading man. I have seen even the most wooden actors up their game with her (*coughMarkColliercough*)....but I can't see his Nik becoming emotionally connected to Ava. I do wonder where Ava's story would've gone if the Nik story hadn't fallen through. Would she have still drugged Morgan because she was over-involved in Kiki's life? Or would she have come back all about Nik? If there's no drugging, there's no fire, there's no Griffin (oh, if only....) and possibly no Ryan.

Members amybrickwallace Posted July 10, 2021 Members Share Posted July 10, 2021 Oddly enough, I thought the only pairing he ever had that worked was with Natalia Livingston's Emily. I could see chemistry between them from their first scene (and it spilled over into real life for awhile). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted July 10, 2021 Members Share Posted July 10, 2021 I do wonder how long the character of Jill would’ve lasted on Y&R had Brenda Dickson stayed. She still looks great, but her style of acting and the quality of it I can’t even see lasting into the 90s. I either see her being written out or having a vastly different trajectory.

Members Soaplovers Posted July 10, 2021 Members Share Posted July 10, 2021 I do wonder if Dickson would have toned down the acting... because she was told to camp it up by producers.. which went against what Bell wanted. I do think Jill vs Nina would have gone vastly different had Dickson stayed in the part. I don't think Kay/Jill would have teamed up against Nina had Dickson stayed in the part. At the same time, Jill vs Kay changed once Jess Walton took over. Dickson was more controlled/sarcastic in her interactions with Kay.. with Kay acting angry. Once Jess walton took over.. Jill became more intense and likely to get physical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted July 23, 2021 Author Members Share Posted July 23, 2021 To echo others, I can’t imagine Michelle Stafford playing anything Cynthia Watros is currently playing as Nina on GH, *especially* the Sonny relationship. CW is totally credible in soft, emotional scenes with Phyllis and Lenny as well as baby Wiley in ways that MS could *never* pull off. Stafford has it in her to play emotion and empathy but she’s soooo self-conscious in scenes whereas CW is far more grounded. CW has done her best with a poorly conceived character and has made her watchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted July 24, 2021 Members Share Posted July 24, 2021 Has anyone heard anything about TC lately? Since that arrest? I hope he is doing better. I heard his wife was very well off so he doesn't need to work, but I hope he is getting help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted July 28, 2021 Members Share Posted July 28, 2021 I was wondering the same thing. I haven't heard anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted October 2, 2021 Members Share Posted October 2, 2021 Watching some clips of GL, I can't picture Krista Tesreau's Mindy in the triangle with Roger and Alex. She came across as too wholesome for that, though I have no doubt that KT could have played it had she not left the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AMCOLTLLover Posted October 2, 2021 Members Share Posted October 2, 2021 i always try to imagine Andrea Evans during OLTL's 90's. What if the Mindy clone from GL on OLTL (Tesreau) never happened and Evans would've played that part. Would it be more decent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
