Let me just say I am not the one who started comparing actors and talent. It started in the previous thread and when it got to the offensive statement about RM I intervened. It was in comparison to Tanner that dragonflies called Ronn Moss a footnote and said that Tanner is a throwback to OG stars.  

If you ask me...  they are similar in the talent department. Tanner for me is very wooden as BoldRestless said. He has 2 expressions on his face and that is all. But he is also not leading most of the time and I see him in very little transformative scenes. He has had only one more major thing with acting required so far and it was still very wooden. Ronn Moss got better with time back in the day. He had some good moments but overall could not get a lot of emotion across too. Ronn Moss is just iconic with the way he became a star in Europe. People are mad for him in Italy, Greece and etc.

Tanner I don't think will have that durability as a TV presence and actor. That's just my opinion. To me he is very similar to other low to mid level soap actors and will probably in few years just fade out of the profession since he is not that gifted as an actor. He could do some commercials for fitness or underwear or teeth health... I think... since he is a pretty man. But that's all. I don't see a star here. Hate me for it but I don't see it.

Ronn on the other hand with the little talent he had... probably had some lucky star in his life... to become so iconic and recognizable with just this role of Ridge... is amazing. I really never liked him when I grew up, but with time I appreciated him and I think NOBODY could play Ridge but him. To recast was one of the biggest mistakes Brad has made.

I watched today's episode.  Why did I watch?

More Sheila nonsense. The same recycled scripts. I can't believe this is the best the writers could do to write out Steffy during her maternity leave.

Same here. I don't know why I watched.

The Sheila stuff is beyond repetitive, and I have no idea what Deacon sees in her as a person or as an object of physical desire.

BOLD feels like it's written by AI that's generated in a system engineered by tech failures.

I will say that RJ was looking like a snack today in that tight black t-shirt. I liked his hair, too.

    • OH, I AM.   And it looks like it's a pretty good episode so I might watch later on this weekend after work cuz I see a lot of scenes with people I actually like. Very happy to see Rocco/Danny appear to be getting story, too. 
    • I do agree that a revival of EON would work, if it doesn't fall into doing all of the typical soap opera tropes... which it became guilty of in the final few years of the show with the over abundance of Raven/Sky at the expense of the actual detectives, police, etc. And I know it was mentioned earlier that Raven had lost any true connections on the show with the death of her on screen mother, and the loss of April/Draper/Deborah.. and I do agree with that. I actually thought the show would have done something with the Shelley character that could have connected her to the Raven character.  There were a few scenes where the two would have scenes and size one another up before they would go their separate ways.. so I assumed perhaps they would have been revealed as half-siblings and/or perhaps cousins.  Alas.. not to be.
    • It definitely flowed beautifully. So much that I was annoyed when Vanessa/Doug because I wanted to get back to the party. I know it was intentional to build up tension and suspense. It worked. lol. I'm glad it was there in hingsight because it gave us that great conversation between Doug and Vanessa. Foreshadowing? And yesss!!! This episode was sooo old school soap giving beat after beat after beat leading up to the unveiling of Eva as Ted's daughter. And we still have plenty of fallout/aftereffects to work through.   Speaking of...Bill, Bill, Bill lol. Good to have confirmation HE was the scary lawyer.   I'm sure I will have a busy Monday, but I can't wait for it. I don't know what I'm looking forward to more. Probably Anita vs Silk Press Sheila tbh. And yes, I feel they will be matching each other 'blow for blow.' 
    • And if they go there, it could also be tied to Johnny completely cutting him off, possibly going to work for Titan, etc.
    • @AbcNbc247 maybe it is just that they've gone to that well too often, and I don't like when DAYS goes dark, but I'm OK with EJ abusing drugs, and just skipping the whole sobriety part. Side note: experiencing hallucinations of my son killing me would be enough for me to never want to take a pill again.

    • Part of the reason that Courtney worked at OLTL was because the show had an actual character for her to play.  One that was somewhat different than her character on AW, and after the way she was treated over at AW.. it had to have been nice to be courted onto a new soap that actually valued your contributions.  
    • I figured the "long" was already implied 
    • You'll be very impressed
