This comparison is unfair, IMO. Rena Sofer has made it clear in this linked Interview above that she has expectations as an actress which BTW are totally understandable. Meanwhile, it seems that Jennifer Gareis on the other is happy to be on soaps and collect a paycheck. Her daughter is much younger, she is happily married - so it seems like B&B recurring or contract is equally fine to her because it is not one of her priorities in life to play challenging material. A friendly workplace which blends with ones personal life is good for some while others want a little more. Rena Sofer seems to belong to the latter group. And let’s all not forget: with 9 years this is the longest employment she has ever had.

I should have worded it: Yet he keeps 'Donna Logan' around.  I don't really care for the character. ...When it comes to JG and RS as actresses in the genre, you make valid points...I appreciate your commentary. 🙂

Being totally honest, I'd love it if Gareis returned to Y&R as Grace Turner.

It's too bad Bell couldn't find anything for Quinn and Carter to do.  Both Sofer and Lawrence St. Victor both came alive in their scenes.  

Quinn's banter with Ridge, Zende and Carter about the toe was hilarious.  Even Delon de Metz showed some comic energy.

With Sofer leaving, it may be time for Carter to hit the Buckingham trifecta...

What's wrong with a little hate sex anyway????

 

Sofer does deserve a departure story.  Catching Deacon with Sheila and vanishing, at the very least....

Nah, this one is way too easy.
 

Lawrence St Victor has been recurring with B&B for years. Recurring players have no dressing room. Period. And even when you get put on contract you often have to share your dressing room on B&B. Racist B&B gave Lawrence St Victor the chance to write - how bad of them! 

They put recurring actors in the opening? Cause LSV is in the opening but no other recurring characters are that I can think of

A picture in the opening credits does not equal to the actor being on contract. Just take the little kid who used to play Douglas: Henry Joseph Samiri had a picure in the credits... Aaron D. Spears (Justin) was also in the opening and not always on contract. The list could go on and on. 

 

About my post in regards to Larewnce St. Victor: he joined the show on contract in 2013 with Karla Mosley but was bumped to recurring in 2014 or 2015. He was not put back on contract until 2020 or so. That's why Rena Sofer is correct that a longstanding castmember should follow suit in her dressing room and at the same time it is not like the show has been shunning LSW. And I repeat that several contract players do not have their own dressing room. It has always been the case. 

LSV posted this instagram video from a dressing room on August 2.
Rena said she filmed her final scene on August 5.

She and JMW are the two best actresses on the show. (Rena is actually better at elevating shoddy material.) Yet Quinn had become useless. How could they let her sit on the sidelines during all the Brooke/Sheila drama? B&B is very unsubtle and by-the-numbers, which is probably one of its strengths, viewer wise. RS deserves a project she can sink her teeth into, but this ain’t it. Neither is present-day GH IMO.

KKL and Annika are both stronger than Jacqui to me

LMAO both are limited on their acting big time. Can you really see either of them playing scenes like JMW did when Steffy was grieving Finn after he was pronounced dead? No because they don't have that kind of range

KKL shows more emotion in her acting, than either Jacqui or Annika does tbh, that’s real acting.  And Annika hasn’t had the same material Jacqui, but she has better body language. Jacqui is good but she’s not a great actress. She has improved though

Anyways I think Jacqui and Annika are on the same level of acting rly, but I will say Annika’s a bit better because she had less experience. However Jacqui might be more seasoned?

heather>Rena>KKL>Kimberlin>Jacqui>Annika>Krista>Naomi>JG> diamond prolly. But Jacqui and Annika are interchangeable to me. Kimberlin is kinda better than KKL but I think KKL shows more emotion.
