Members Maxim Posted 17 hours ago Members Share Posted 17 hours ago (edited) I have no issues with a multi layered antagonist being on for a while. Or even dominating storylines. Absolutely no issue. Of course that can't be forever. Another case it will be if it was a badly written cartoon like modern day Sheila Carter. She is a lost cause.

Members kalbir Posted 17 hours ago Members Share Posted 17 hours ago (edited) Three weeks of Beyond the Gates and my thoughts so far: Andre/Dani Please register in order to view this content Sean Freeman (Andre) is the show's hotness. Tricia Mann-Grant (Leslie aka Silk Press Sheila) is the show's breakout star. Edited 17 hours ago by kalbir 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted 17 hours ago Members Share Posted 17 hours ago I agree. When I definitely love my villains more than they can weave in and out of story because you know when they do show up, there are going to be serious stakes. Yes, I'm looking at you, Mama Pope. lol. It's why I liked when Kristen Blake first came back in 2014. Those first few years, she was weaved in and out of storyline with major results. It's almost sad now that she's permanently on the canvas because she had to be watered down or not taken as seriously as they could and should be due to her history. I would hate to see that happen with Silk Press Sheila. And I would hate to see intelligent characters dumbed down just to keep her though I now adore the actress. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted 17 hours ago Members Share Posted 17 hours ago (edited) I feel exactly the same about Stefano DiMera. Should have been occasional villain recurring very sporadically. A storyline arc, and then gone for a few years. Not having lunch at the Brady Pub. Mascolo was a great actor, but I thought his character was way overused and then inappropriately normalized to the canvas. Stefano hated his children. It's stupid that even now they talk to his picture. Awful writing. I never saw whatever show Roger Thorpe was on (yes I know famous but I never watched it).

Members Taoboi Posted 17 hours ago Members Share Posted 17 hours ago Agree. Especially with Tricia. She has officially hit my ED's Kristen sweet spot and you know how much I love Eileen Davidson. Completely agree. I can still think of the times when he would vanish and reappear and JM did such a great job...Teenage Me knew to be filled with dread and excited. Heck, he even got his own promos when every time he returned. And I hated him being watered down as well. Or anyone NOT Victor thinking they could take him down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted 17 hours ago Members Share Posted 17 hours ago (edited) We've only had couple of weeks of episodes. I'm sure Silkpress won't be on all the time. MVJ will know how to ration her best so she is kept fresh. So far I haven't felt her character being too much on. I've felt that with Dani... But not with Silk... Maybe because she is not only a villain... But kinda funny too. She just doesn't drag at all. For now. That's just my POV. I prefer seeing Silkpress and amazing acting... Than watching Martin struggle with the material in every scene. Or the boring Derek and Ashley. But... I also want to see more Anita. Please.

Members Rmodelboy Posted 17 hours ago Members Share Posted 17 hours ago I'm really excited to see how Leslie pivots to ensure Eva stays in her grasp. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted 17 hours ago Members Share Posted 17 hours ago Leslie could eventually be blended into the canvas like Phyllis Summers who is still kind of a villain but is also a weird kind of normal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rmodelboy Posted 16 hours ago Members Share Posted 16 hours ago The great thing is that there is so much more about Leslie that we don't know and for them to explore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted 16 hours ago Members Share Posted 16 hours ago Not all soap villains are created equal. Roger Thorpe, Iris Carrington, Damian Smith, Alex Olanov, even the earlier Kristen Blake, etc. are not the same as Sheila Carter, Stefano DiMera or the later Kristen or James Stenbeck. If care is taken with what Dana gets up to or commits, or she gets some rehabilitation, she can run on contract for a long time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VelekaCarruthers Posted 16 hours ago Members Share Posted 16 hours ago Agree with others that Episode 14 has been the best written and directed of all, thus far. Phideau's directing was great. Tate's dialogue was also great as was the pacing of Dunn's outline. Bill and Ted should have been brothers; think of the years of story (back story too). Nice twist at the end re Eva... The flashbacks and fantasy sequences reminded me of Jim Reilly and Bill Bell style. Other episodes feel like The City or Ron's OLTL. I like the former although not too many flashbacks please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted 16 hours ago Members Share Posted 16 hours ago The thing is that there was a reason why he faked his death so many times. Every time that was a rest from the canvas. I only thought of this after hitting send. One of the big reasons he was as successful as he was, his not being on all the time.
