Carson Boatman seems like a sweetheart, but Johnny is never going to be much of anything unless they recast. People complained about Tripp but Johnny is just as dull and charisma free, and this show desperately needs a dynamic young guy.

This may mean nothing, and even if it does it's probably just a short stint, but Casey Moss recently followed Carson Boatman on instagram so we may be seeing JJ again. I've also read from a reliable source that Annalynne McCord may or may not be Abby, so I'm thinking their doing a Hope/Gina type story with amnesia.

I always liked Trevor so he's fine on YR to me too, but honestly I don't see much difference between Tucker and VicTodd, his acting is basically the same. He looks bored half the time, but that's just him. I think it's just easier when we don't have an investment in the character relationships. When we thought he was Todd his indifference toward people we knew he should care about was annoying, but Tucker wasn't as engrained into YR as Todd was OLTL, and I'm not as invested in YR as I was OLTL.

I get that, and I agree that the character probably needed a rest, goodness knows I didn't wanna watch her go crazy again, I just don't think she should have been killed. I would have written Chad and Abby off together again like they did in 2019, but I know some thought that would be unfair for Billy to lose his job. Chad's not exactly lightning up the screen with excitement anymore either however, he's turned into a purse holding obstacle for adopted cousins.

I'm totally late on this, but I believe Will, Shawn and Abby are about the only 3 characters we've seen at all phases of life. Born on the show, toddler, pre-teen, teens, college, adult, parents, we saw it all with these three. I know she's not popular here, but I'll never think killing her or Will was right, even if Will has been undone.

I know it's UO here but I actually like Kate more than Billy lol. For me it's when she left that he lost all the charisma he had, he started stuttering and it's been downhill since. Kate and Billy actively disdain one another, but I also think that's what made their Chabby work so well, it's like the hate created tension. I do like Marci and actually think she's the best actor of the three, but Chabby was at their peak with Billy and Kate. Canary Fan is right however, even the most charismatic person ever would have a hard time making anything out of this writing we get with Ron.

Yup, this is totally more what I think Johnny should be. I see people complaining about Lucas Adams and Tripp but I myself see very little difference between him and Carson and Johnny. Same generic pretty boy, same nice boy who loves all the girls. I just don't get it. Why can't they hire someone dynamic anymore? I think the last guy who had a lot of charisma was Billy Flynn, which he, very sadly, has also completely lost.

Oh my, I gotta say that I agree about Lindsay, I think she was very good saddled with a writer who had no interest in her character at all. Ron is much more interested in Johnny and you can tell, but I find Carson Boatman to be just above the block of wood that is Brandon Beemer. I mean I guess he's fine for this soap, but little Johnny, who they also used a lot more than little Allie, had me hoping for so much more. CB comes off like generic soap guy number 3, and Sami and EJ's kid should be more than that.

From what I gather a lot of people started the show, but most didn't finish it to the end. I guess they figured the people that dropped out wouldn't try it again if it got another season. I'm bummed because it wasn't a good show, but I really enjoyed the Juliet actress and thought she and Cal had a nice chemistry. Hopefully both go on to have good careers and I can watch them in other things. I've basically decided I'm not watching any Netflix shows until it already has at least two or three seasons. Getting invested and then having a show get dropped after one season and a cliffhanger isn't worth it.

Everything he does lasts only one season or like in Roswell they kill him off. As much as he complained he at least knows soaps are a consistent job.

Raven has lots of charisma, I like her a lot and adore Chanel, but she's awful at crying. Allie is written as such a drip I don't think Lindsay has much to work with, but when she was the devil I thought she played it very well, completely different from Allie. Whereas I thought Johnny was about the same as usual when he was the devil. I actually do like Tripp too and think it's a shame he's only ever used as a device to keep couples apart.

I think Lindsay Arnold is the best actor out of the younger set, but yeah Allie is written pretty terribly most of the time, but I mean they all are. They haven't even settled on a personality for Johnny yet. This whole triangle was one of the worst I've ever seen.

Death meaning nothing is exactly why they shouldn't do it. This whole thing will be about Gwen anyway, their killing off a character we saw born and practically grow up on the show, it's just not the way imo, and you'd think they'd have learned that with Will.

Well said! Tea was nuts but I loved it. Looking forward to what Florencia has to say.
