EXTREMELY DISLIKE: I really hated Peyton List on ATWT. I hated her when she was on Smallville too. Maybe that says how I feel about her....

You just HAD to throw in your undying hatred for the impeccable Peyton List, didn't ya?!

Gah....that hurts. Alot.

Amazing, though, how you hate someone with such a deep passion, but yet you cast them in your GH fan fiction. Simply ironic.

You know what...it is! It's totally ironic. Her character's gonna die eventually so I'll get some gratification from it.

If that hurts you, well that's too damn bad now isn't it..... <_<

Don't worry Ryan, I hated PL too. That girl was soooooo bad on ATWT, and the bad part was that she never even improved as an actress after all that time. Even her scenes w/ Hunt Block and Liz Hubbard were horrible. I'm glad that she left the show.

Thank you!!! I tried to like her, I really did, but in doing so I began to resent watching her suck up airtime from people who deserved it. She's just like Natalia Livingston.

I felt the same way about Alyssa Diaz (ex-Ceila). Couldn't stand her or her character.

I never thought Peyton was all that great either, it was especially obvious when she'd share scenes with the heavy hitters of the show like Hunt Block and Elizabeth Hubbard, she just couldn't hold her own.

Unfortunately Spencer Grammer isn't doing much for me either, unlike Jennifer Landon I guess Spencer didn't get a whole lot of talent from her father.

Heather Tom is always amazing, and this is the kind of story KKL must have been dreaming of since Susan Flannery left. She might not be a new Meryl Streep, but she excels in these kind of confrontational scenes with a strong scene partner. Watching her beg Ridge for attention opposite Thorsten Kaye who really doesn't give her much to work with has been painful.

Jack: "Andre Richardson the photographer? We have tried to hire you several times"
Yeah another reminder that the Andre character seems to be inspired by Malcolm Winters.

No new word. When Susan Lucci was in Los Angeles promoting her book, she met up with Eva La Rue and Rebecca Budig and Eva posted a photo on IG of the three of them with a caption saying the movies were "definitely" happening. Then a few hours later, Eva edited her post saying they are "in development." I think she got a lot of fans excited (and ahead of themselves) with her original post so she had to modify what she said.

I doubt they can do worse than they did with John. The only decent thing about him was that his existence actually was plausible in the show's timeline. Everything else was a horror show (literally and figuratively).
I guess most people will buy whatever explanation they will give regarding Serena Sugden (talk about an un-Sugden-like name by the way 🙄) and her connection to Robert and Victoria. Only old-timers like myself who are very particular about these things will bother about the details.

6-5

Oh, that was easy, breezy, and good!!! I love that B&B has pivoted out of its mid-May slump. I feel engaged again.

Now I missed some episodes cuz out of town for my birthday, but I enjoyed what I saw. I am impressed with B&B having a teen/young set again in RJ/Electra/Will/Dylan again. Okay, a teen/young soap set period. I also like that we got a definite personality among them all. RJ with his smugness. Will the himbo...which we know I don't hate. Electra with the girl next door. Dylan with a grayness to her character. I like it. And I did like this week that they still have tension between Electra and Dylan and that feels more realistic to me. As did Dylan's Will daydream. Meanwhile, there is RJ still trying to get all up in Electra's face. Meanwhile, Will is over at the Spencers.

And I love when Brad Bell shifts the story focus to the Spencers. He balanced it with the Logans nicely. But I have to admit that it actually felt like the story surrounding Hope leaving for Logan and thus keeping Forrester vs Logan on the fashion runway has stopped stalling even more and is moving again. And YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS to Deke FINALLY being added to that story. And Remy still trying to make those in-roads.

Which brings me to Brooke vs Katie. Oooooo I live for a great Heather Tom performance. And those little gems of dialogue about Hope that went over Brooke's head...SUPERB. That said...SHE SHOULD HAVE SLAPPED BROOKE BACK!!! Hopefully next time!!! But yes...to this part of the story...the fashion war...is FINALLY heating up again.

So...Fashion wars, teen storyline, an C plot...or two if I include Wyatt in the wings...going. Go on, B&B for me. Get your bounce back.

The original Noah, Kevin Schmidt was good IMO. His relationship with Eden may have been a flop but he played the part well atleast..
his complicated relationship with his parents and how he was affected by the Phick relationship were all interesting things being played out at the time. His character just became more and more basic over time and lacked any kind of substance. I don’t even blame the actors that played him after because I actually thought they were all decent. The writing just wasn’t good. They never invested enough into his character and always invested more into keeping Nick and Sharon front burner instead of bringing up that new generation. I think of the Faith character in the same way. I loved all the actresses who played Faith. They just never gave her character a real chance to flourish..
Back when Shick and Victoria were aged up, they managed to give that new generation of Newmans front burner storylines while still making sure Nikki and Victor were relevant and had front burner storylines too so I don’t see why they can do that with Shick and Victorias kids now too..

I've always felt Marland (with a competent EP - not Phelp) was the writer who could have brought Another World back to life and to the top of the ratings. I suspect he would have rebuilt the Matthews and Frames and brought on a new family.

LMAO...Alma "Well dear, I knew you would end up with one!"
Lisa, "One WHAT, Mother?" (she always respected Nancy more then her poor mom."
Alma: "You know dear, a man who is..theatrical"
Lisa: "Oh, I KNOW, isnt it great...while Bob or Grant had NO interest in theater or musicals..while all they wanted to do is, Bob, watch the Cubs, and Grant sit with his books on history and law! Finally I found someone I have so much in common with!"
Alma: "Oh, I think you two have more in common then you even think dear, but if your happy"
Lisa, "Mother, I never know what you mean, I wish you would make sense sometimes!!"
