Oh, I am so sick and tired of people dream-casting Gina Tognoni.  Is she the ONLY actress available anymore?

Wow, thanks so much for these clips. I can't stand CW's Nina and only ever saw her before for that short stint as the crazy sister on YR. Yep, she should have left her face alone, so pretty. Loved seeing Clint Buchanan as the attorney. LOL

I hated Ava so much in the beginning. Also never saw MW in anything else until GH. Then they gave her cancer when she left the show for a while, and I honestly missed her outrageous character. Didn't care for the whole cousin Denise DeWhatever that she came back as, but I love MW now and will forever.

Oh, and get RID of the head-bobbing Portia. Can we trade her straight out for Zeke?

I actually think not seeing MW in other shows hurts us.  I never watched ATWT and I do think we miss some context on an icon role.

Listen, she's pretty and seems good at the acting thing.  I just would never put her up for numerous roles.  I don't think I'd dislike her.  I just have always missed the charm other people see.

I only like about 10 characters currently on GH so my taste level is just probably way off though.

Why not? I liked her on Guiding Light but seeing her on The Young and the Restless made me love her.

Plus, I'd love to see her vs. Laura Wright again!

I think not knowing her work on World Turns does change things. New York soaps, as we know, were just built differently. And West carried World Turns.

Carly Tenney-Snyder was also a force to be reckoned with & CarJack & "True North" really do rival Jeva & "Always" but Ava Jerome is, like, the part Maura was born to play. I have noticed that Ava is strong enough that I do not see the edges of Maura in the performance, when with Oakdale's Carly, I always could see Maura underneath pulling the strings. I don't know if that will sense to you. The thing is they have no business putting Ava in situations where she is seen as weak. 

What I should have said: Carly Lowe Munson (invalid) Dixon (invalid) Snyder (invalid) Snyder Snyder Snyder (ATWT)

IMO, MW's best-ever work was during her first stint (1995-1996) on ATWT, when her performances were so raw and natural that Marlena DeLaCroix labelled her as "a young Carroll Baker."  It was almost as if she did not know that she was working on a soap opera. 

Since then, MW has done good work - on WT, then on Y&R, now on GH - but her performances also have become soapier, if you know what I mean.  Often, that is due to the writing, as soaps in general really don't develop characters like early Carly Tenney anymore; but other times, I feel it is due more to Maura's acting choices.

And as for Gina Toblerone?  This always reminds me of that moment in "Coming to America" when...well, just watch this clip and you will know what I am saying, lol.

    • Xanthe, evidence of the Michigan setting could be found in the scenes when Rachel is on the run for shooting Mitch, which was in late 1980/early 1981. I remember a scene where they showed Bay City on a map of Michigan.

    • Another great episode. I was loving how everyone had someone to seek comfort in as they absorbed the news about John’s death, particularly Johnny/Chanel and Paul/ Andrew

      Seriously, Janel has become one of my favorite couples lately. Chanel has been such a steady hand in Johnny’s life and I’m looking forward to seeing how they’re there for each other in the aftermath of John’s death.  But I am also looking forward to seeing the next conflict for them lol especially since EJ’s shooting is still dangling out there and that Johnny is gonna start working at Titan.  Paul and Andrew were sweet too. I love how Andrew comforted him. Idk if I’d be able to get married so quickly if I was in Paul’s shoes, but I do agree with the fact that it is what John would’ve wanted. I enjoyed their scenes with Will and Carrie too, even though Will and Andrew acted like they weren’t cousins. Hopefully, we’ll get more scenes of them coming up. But yeah, I will never not believe that a Will/Sonny/Paul/Andrew quad is a massive missed opportunity. There are so many story possibilities for the four of them, especially now. But again, if we can’t get them all full time, I’m fine with each couple getting a happily ever after. Away from Salem and safe from Leo. Btw, Colton is really tall And, unfortunately it looks like Sami won’t be making it to John’s memorial and that really sucks. Friggin Sydney lol I was also loving Bo’s reunion with his family. They work so well together as a family and I couldn’t be happier that we’re finally getting moments like this. The three of them filling Bo in on what’s been going in Salem for all these years was nice but also a little sad, especially after Bo found out about Victor and Doug. But I wonder if Bo’s going to have any scenes with his new brother, Xander. Or how he’s gonna react to finding out about John. And, I guess it was necessary for Bo to meet Ciara’s little serial killers too.

    • I was thinking that voice sounded a lot like June. If Barbara left behind a baby she could be her daughter or granddaughter (the way ages work on this show I have no idea how old June should be).
    • I was left kind of wishing this too. I couldn’t help but to think how Eileen would’ve acted said scene.
