At the risk of derailing the thread I just read it again and it does not make sense at all.  Carly/Reese (Charlotte) were bff in high school.  Carly slept with Reese's father, Reese got upset and into a car accident and was presumed dead, wasn't dead and had reconstructive surgery, Carly took over her name/persona when she left town to come to PC, and Reese married some guy and lost a son.  The END.

Ha!  No.  It means Reese/Charlotte's parents were really weird and her dad groomed an underaged Carly/Caroline and then committed suicide and her mom told everyone Reese was dead because....?  Unclear.  Basically Carly just took her name, but even that doesn't make sense because I have met Caroline's that go by Carly, but never a Charlotte.

Reese's son was also kidnapped and murdered because of her ex-husbands shady dealings, she divorced said husband, became an FBI agent that saves kidnapped kids, the ne'er do well ex husband comes back, ends up shot by Ric? I believe, and that's that.

Carly goes nuts because the whole Alcazar thing didn't work out and wants Sonny back, but is stymied by Reese/Sonny's relationship.  Sonny finds out about Reese's past and that she slept with Ric and dumps her.  Carly ends up in a mental hospital and comes back as Laura Wright.  And then Reese dies.

For someone who was on the show for less than a year her actual wiki page is like a 10 min read.  Reese did a lot in a short amount of time.

Ah!  Okay.  I got it now...I think...?

Anyways, here's one I'd add to the list: Jacqueline Courtney's performance as OLTL's Pat Kendall, when her character learns that Talbot Huddleston, Karen Wolek's first john (of many, so many she still, to this day, doesn't remember all their names), was the hit-and-run driver who killed her young son, Brian.  I could understand Pat literally going for Talbot's jugular when Karen drops that bombshell in court (even though, I still want to know why no one in the courthouse didn't rush toward her the minute she got up from that bench), but between the timing of that revelation (mere minutes after Karen confesses her hooking to all of Llanview, and to Larry) and the pitch of Courtney's voice and actions in that moment...it just did neither actor nor character any favors.  In fact, it kinda gives credence to the long-held rumors that then-EP Joe Stuart was having an affair with Courtney and viewed her as the star of the show.

Since Soapsuds already brought it up---Kelley Hensley in pretty much any "dramatic" moment. It was the worst acted rape story I've witnessed. I remember laughing as Emily ran through Susan's house, to wash herself in the kitchen sink. Accompanied by her incessant "hmmmmn, hmmmn, hmmmmm" and snot crying. See also any time Emily cracked up.

Brooke Logan wandering the beach with her doll "children". Sigh---KKL is a trooper, but master thespian she ain't. There's a reason she's only gotten (I think) one emmy nod in all the years she's been on B&B.

Ronn Moss. PERIOD.

Yeah and she is actually a great actress. The script was so absurd with her written to run like a maniac with some over the top dolls on an island... Imagine trying to play that... I think even Meryl Streep would have looked like that.

It is not fair to judge her by one of the dumbest script ideas Bradley has ever had.

KKL, Brooke has proved she can act through the years. But people like to bash her, just because she hasn't gotten an Emmy.  Well, some actresses that are WAAAY worse than her have got one and even more than one, so I won't judge her by that.

Why? just why would they center an entire episode around this <cough> actress <cough>

 

Who directed these scenes? Ray Charles. Just awful.

      Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.

      This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc

      Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.
