Then the show should change to fit her, lol. I wouldn't normally say that but honestly, there is little to nothing in the current show that is so worthwhile that I would not overhaul to accommodate better characters, actors and stories. Fortunately that may be coming.

"Blaze" remains a passable recurring player I liked a bit in the very stupid Chase/Dr. Luke storyline but knew I would not find very interesting in major story if it came to her. Here we are.

You have a good point about changing the show.  I think I am more frustrated the show has managed to screw it up so bad thus far.  I really don't care about Lois/Olivia and Lois supporting Brook Lynn in her snooze worthy wedding nonsense.  Of course at least we have hope things will change.

I like Blaze.  I like her and Kristina.  I think the story has some potential.  Of course, if she left I wouldn't miss her or anything, but I think the character and actress are pleasant enough.

Does the occasional older actress look good with long hair? Yes. Still, as a rule, long hair doesn't work on an older actress, and that's why we call it a rule.

I'm not suggesting that Genie Francis should go short, but she'd look better with a shoulder cut. So would Lynn Herring.  It seems like GH lets actors call their own shots, from hair to wardrobe. How else to explain that constant Grandma bun on Jane Elliot? I can see her wearing that once in a while, but all the time? It's aging.

While I'm at it, I'll add that Laura Wright should ditch at least half the extensions in her head.

Laura Wright's hair is all hers. And she always mentions how she misses her shorter hair. As for Jane Elliot & Lynn Herring, both look fine, and I'm fairly certain because Herring is recurring she has more control, and I doubt anyone is going to tell Elliot what to do with her hair. She always mentioned, upon her retirement, she couldn't wait to stop dyeing it. If it's anything like primetime, then I assume a lot of actresses require permission from production when it comes to changing their hair.

I'd love to see you tell Meryl Streep or any non-daytime actress of a certain age what she should do with her hair, because of her age and this so-called "rule".

And more to that point, Judge Judy even stated she grew her own hair out because it was easier for her to maintain. It's all situational. If a woman of a "certain age" wants to keep her hair long, then that's her decision to do so.

I'm no expert on hair but I think that mane is all Laura's. Yes, all that hair is hers. Remember it takes two hairdressers working together to blow it out straight? 

And, Finola isn't wearing either extensions or pieces. But, Genie does use pieces.

If that's all Laura Wright's hair, then she needs to get someone to thin it LOL The volume is crazy.

I never suggested Jane Elliot dye her hair. It's not the color that doesn't work, it's the style.

You do understand these are my opinions, right? I'm not "telling" any actress what to do, I'm not ordering them to get a cut and style. It's pretty clear than anyone -- woman or man -- can have any hairstyle they wish. Doesn't mean I can't offer my opinion on them.

If these actors were on primetime or in a film, they would be TOLD what to do with their hair. They would not have control over their hair or their wardrobe. Daytime has a load of problems, and this is one of them.

And all of that is your opinion. And it's one that, from my POV, is a very shallow and judgmental one to have, especially on women.

 It's like telling men they can't have longer hair because they're men, in my opinion. And I know plenty of women Laura Wright's age who would kill to have the volume she has.

I won't deny my hair comments are judgmental and even shallow. And???

Others on this board have been judgmental about wardrobe, hair, styling, and more. Kirsten Storms' styling gets shredded on the regular. We're allowed to share opinions here.

And men? I can offer my opinions on them, too, if you'd like. I didn't in my previous post because I wanted to avoid making my post too long LOL

      The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.

      Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.

      I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.

      As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.

      I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.

      So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
