The brunette did her no favours, but I'm pretty sure that headshot Soapcentral.com used was an older shot, too. And yes, I liked Mia Kriegel, too, and felt right when I was really beginning to feel like she understood Molly they recast. But, to me, Kristen Vaganos is now Molly and I'm so happy she's a series regular (and the first Molly to be). She emcompasses the younger side of the character from the years Haley Pullos was in the role, but also brings an adult-ness the role desperately needed.

Nor could I... I feel like we'd be watching a teenage Molly playing this story, and I don't think it'd read well in the same way Vaganos has played the role.

 I knew Kate Mansi would smash it as Kristina the moment it was announced, and I haven't been proven wrong. The Pullos/Molly situation and its timeframe was super unfortunate, but we've finally found a groove for the Davis sisters, and I am hoping and praying we get some Davis time soon for all four ladies!

I don't want to go down the HP road because I know you and I have varying opinions.  But I am glad they have found an actress that works and it would be difficult to imagine Haley playing Molly again at this point.

I was pretty sure Mansi would smash it too.  I just felt for Lexi after all the years.  I liked Mansi's Abigail and that's saying a lot because Abigail is a bit of a drip of a character, for lack of a better term lol.

No problem, not at all. 

Absolutely!

It's interesting to me that Kate Mansi didn't want to sign a contract at DAYS & just did so at GH

Arguably, though, Kristina is a much better character, not a better person mind you, but definitely a better character to play. 

Some entity just gave him Performer of the Week. I thought it well deserved.

With everything we know about Days BTS I am not surprised Mansi jumped at a better offer.  From what I have heard from Mansi through the years, I don't think Abigail inspired her much.  Kristina seems to be a more interesting character for her to play.

Yeah, Mansi was clearly the right choice.  I just have a soft spot for Lexi.  I know she will forever look 15, but maybe she'll get jobs when she's 50 and still looks 15

It just makes me sad to think how many years they wasted Lexi/Kristina and the minute Mansi comes in it's front burner all the time.

        New interview!! I was like Penny, aka Janet, and said, "That's the end???"
    • You're really in for it, because those rants continue for 3 episodes. I was struck by how ho-hum those cliffhangers were. It was like the writers ran out of gas.
    • New Tomas pleaseeeeeeee!!

    • Thank you for the clarification, but Susan didn't name her child after David.  It was Julie who named her own son David.   And how/when was Susan's son killed?  And didn't Susan kill David Martin and stand trial for his murder?   The genius of Bill Bell -- truly.  
    • I truly wish we could see more of her work on DAYS. And more of her early stuff on GH, but at least we know that Corday’s DAYS vault is virtually complete, especially compared to GH. Lesley was a pivotal character. I think the scenes with the confrontation with Monica are so good because there is a lot of character in those lines and performances. Monica is ferocious, desperate. And Lesley is not a victim, she holds her own and calls Monica out, playing her own form of anger. Evenly matched. Soap confrontations have largely forgotten that both sides should be evenly matched, even if someone has wronged another. To me, that scene is easily in my soap hall of fame. They didn’t make enough of her return, which has always bothered me. I would have loved for her to end up vying for control of the hospital when Alan was incapacitated by drugs, helping him through that crisis and finding herself at odds with Monica again on a different level, not as romantic rivals. She had such a long career! Acting in radio shows as a little kid, through her GH spots as few years ago. That’s quite a ride. 
    • Damn I was hoping Lesley would be at Monica's memorial  Hoping GH gives Lesley an on screen memorial
    • Today's episode was serviceable, but the cliffhangers were disappointing!
    • I just got to the first set of Dante ranting at Gio episodes and I really need him to shut the hell up. Gio literally was at the party with people his own age and didn’t even know Dante’s kid snuck out to a party. Talking about I could charge you for serving a minor? This is just really stupid writing.
    • Back up a bit. Susan & Julie were best friends. Tom thought David too old for Julie & forbade her to see him. They continued but they had to sneak around.  So they couldn't always get together when they wanted to. One of THOSE nights David got drunk. At the same time for different reasons Susan had a huge fight with her parents, slammed out the door & went & also got drunk. David & Susan comforted each other & things took their usual course From that one  drunken night, Susan got pregnant. The 3 made a joint decision. He would marry her to give the child his name & then they would divorce. Is it any wonder this did not go according to plan. Bill Bell wrote this. So best friends became bitter enemies.   I am the exception because I had no problem suspending my disbelief to go along with the LaSalles. I love Marisa as much as I loved Mary. Reginald, always a problem to me, And, Robert Hogan had to be Vince. WhIle I'm at it I am glad that didn't do anything with making Scott a triplet.
