Tippi February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 Courtney Hope is cute as can be and a very appealing actress. On B&B she was in a romance storyline with Pierson Fode's Thomas (a character that had been odious) and darned if that didn't turn out to be one of the best things going. PF left the show and CH was left at loose ends. I hope she turns up somewhere because she is a lot of fun. I hear she can do rom-com, Mal! 10 Link to comment

I had to do a double take when she first appeared as Sally because of the resemblance to Gina Tognoni. I read your first sentence and thought, oh yeah, she does resemble Michelle Stafford. Then read your second sentence and had to laugh. I like your idea, she'd make a great Summer. And would make the character likable for the first time since she was SORASed. 7 Link to comment

Kemper February 18, 2018 Share February 18, 2018 You have to wonder what these soap writers are thinking. For awhile, on B&B, the Sally character and her boyfriend (Thomas?) were touted as THE couple. Then they hinted at a pairing with Liam. Then they were back to the same, tired Hope/Steffi. Soaps have no bench...no younger actors that are up-and-coming. They have shipped off most of the off-spring on Y&R. Where is the future? After Nick, Victoria, Sharon, ever-young Phyllis (!) and the rest...who do they have? They should be really grooming the younger set - Noah, Summer (recast), Jack's son (don't know who he is but he is apparently Keemo), a final recast of Adam (though he is not really the "young" set), etc. These all have ties and should be tied into stories Right Now! It is jarring when they are brought on-board all of a sudden. They look like they dropped in from another planet, they can't relate to their mothers, fathers, etc. Because we haven't seen them for years. They aren't mentioned. They just appear one day. There are the Cane/Lily twins...who is there to pair them with? A suddenly dropped in Reed, I guess. We feel no bond with these characters and it is not the actor's fault. Their presence should be felt a good bit of the time; if not in person, then a parent/sibling reading emails from them, saying they Skyped...went to visit, etc. I realize that actors leave for other projects; recasts are part of the game. Why are they having so much trouble casting a younger set? Late-teens, early/late 20s, etc. 16 Link to comment
Gam2 February 19, 2018 Share February 19, 2018 I agree. Our favorite actors are aging and there isn’t a younger group to believe in or become invested in. We do not care about any of this younger group not only because they’re written for so poorly but because most of them are just terrible actors. The only good actress in recent memory was Sally on B&B and she was let go because the writers couldn’t find a good story line for her. Such a shame! 8 Link to comment
JasonCC February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 (edited) Agreed about mistake getting rid of RA/Noah. Courtney Hope?! I don't watch B&B but just googled her and I think she could make a great recast Summer if she is a halfway decent actress (and sounds here like she is?). Signing on to everything Kemper said above!! They need to cultivate this under-30 group with a re-cast Kyle (and honestly the last Kyle wasn't bad, just remember he left the same time as Billy Miller and Michael Muhney but he hadn't made a negative impression) and Summer. Faith needs to be SORASed to 16 and in school with Reed, Mattie, etc (one or the other doesn't one do GC High and the others Walnut Grove?). Also, bring Fen back on canvas. They don't have to be front and center all the time, but just there so there is a clear next generation that won't feel like they dropped from the sky. You need to breed some familiarity.

She annoys the hell out of me the way she begins every sentence with "look" and turns every sentence into a question by ending them all with "okay?" 3 Link to comment

jewel21 February 22, 2018 Share February 22, 2018 I'm excited to have Brittany back. I never thought we would see her again, ever. I am now worried that they will be killing off JT though, which I'm not happy about. Mal, when I kept saying "Kill off JT" I meant the actor who plays Billy. Not the character JT who I actually like, damn you. 16 Link to comment
Gam2 February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 I think Thad, who plays JT, is the best actor on this show by far. Of course, he’s going to be offed. Because we can’t have nice things. Ever. 14 Link to comment
Kemper February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 Plus, Thad is absolutely gorgeous. Can you imagine him playing Cane? Billy? How much fun and interesting an actor with looks, presence and talent would be? How we could be drawn into a story? Instead we have Cane (horrible actor)...Billy (he isn't sexy)..Devon (mind numbing), Nick (well, he has the looks) etc. I remember when "Jagger" first appeared on GH. He was absolutely gorgeous but could act. Sexy. Can't remember his name...Antonio something. He was in quite a few made-for-tv movies, I think, after his GH stint. An actor doesn't even have to be great-looking. Luke (again, from GH) was actually pretty homely. But he could hold the screen when he was on and he had off-the-charts chemistry with "Laura"..and he was a good actor. The pairing was long and drawn out. Same with "Patch" and "Kayla". These roles were written as anti-heroes..the actors were good...the scripts didn't pander to certain fan-bases (well, maybe a little). Why do we end up hating some of these characters? Resenting them? Why? Because they aren't well-written, they aren't great actors, they are shoved at us at warp-speed. And the casting people only want kind of vanilla-looking people. Looks and acting-wise. Still cringe every time I see Cane. Cannot Cannot Cannot stand him, his pasty face, his whispering, his attempts to emote, his slinking around, his actual being able to breathe. Will stop and try to picture sun and sandy beaches. And kittens. All the news this past week has done a number on my psyche and well-being. I rant. Because I can. 12 Link to comment
JasonCC February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 (edited) I'm excited to see Britney, because I wasn't watching during that "teen set" era and feel I have never quite had the same investment in that group as the viewers for who that 1999-2002 period is their Y&R do. Billy Miller is "original Billy" to me (well besides random baby/toddler actors) and I always feel a little cheated I only met adult Colleen right before she died. I feel I'd appreciate Lily and JT more too if I'd have been watching during that period. Edited February 23, 2018 by JasonCC 9 Link to comment

Yeah, it is but the comment seem to suggest that her rumored departure had something to do with TL and their marriage/pending divorce. It would be odd to put MCE into that scenario. Whatever, it seems highly unlikely to me that it could happen without getting leaked. Her leaving would be major since Victoria is pretty much a legacy character at this point. 4 Link to comment
