I honestly love Rena/Lois, but I am not sure she actually fits on the current show.

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.

I always questioned bringing Lois back if you couldn't put her with Ned, but the fact is it's done, she's here and Rena is still very good when given half a scrap of vaguely passable material. So if she's happy being here and wants to continue the least they can do is write good story for her and find a new role for her on canvas that makes Lois have a real purpose and direction. It would be a huge waste to let her go when there are at least 10-15 characters far more ready for dropping.

I agree.

Do you believe in those rules that say that after a certain age you can't have long hair, can't wear certain things, etc.? Personally I think they are bunk. But, I wear my hair short these days & the last time I had it long, down my back I was, I think, 44 or 45. So maybe I don't really think they're bunk. Who knows.

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.

From my POV it's the same. Shallow is a great description.

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
