ulkis October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 Liz accusing someone else of being a manipulative lair is more than a little rich. Yeah, but I think for once the show is aware of it. Only Sonny gets the "ignore the blackout rage from hypocrisy" dialogue. 3 Link to comment

tvgoddess October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 I think they are, but I wouldn't be surprised if he'd rather her not come over there if it meant a backlash against the show being inundated with actors from other shows. I don't think he would care one way or the other. 1 Link to comment

Badsamaritan October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 (edited) That "actres" (<not a typo folks) looks at least 10 years older than Tequan and Haley.Indeed. She should be in the Michael/Sabrina/Morgan/Keeks age range, not Molly and TJ. Maybe if she doesn't have half a pound of makeup on she'll look younger. I'm already fearful of the orange-y tint.Edited to add: She got them damn crazy eyes working in that pic, don't she? Edited October 13, 2015 by Badsamaritan 1 Link to comment
WendyCR72 October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 I get GH is looking at some exits (if rumors are true), but the last thing it needs is more women. Seems there are two to three women per guy. And if rumors are true, GH may lose its last doc character on contract. Where are some new doctors? Especially on a show titled General Hospital?! Crazy, I know. 3 Link to comment
TeeVee329 October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 (edited) I actually do think both the teens and the twentysomethings need another female character. Right now it's just Mostly Invisible Molly and Kan't Hold Her Liquor Kiki. ETA - oh, and Kristina, I guess? Where the heck did she disappear to? ETA2 - no mention if Darby (ugh) is on contract or just recurring. Edited October 13, 2015 by TeeVee329 Link to comment
BestestAuntEver October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 This show is so freaking slow. Of course, they want to add to the teen group once Tequan gets a showtime gig. Run TR, RUN! Just for the hell of it, Run JT, Run! That chick definitely needs to be in the Morgan, Kiki, Michael age group. You guys are probably right about the actres will end up connected to Greenlee. 2 Link to comment
jsbt October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 I'm assuming Lexi Ainsworth bolted because Uncle Frank offered her a "Rekurring Kontrakt" printed on yellow note paper saying "YOU WIN!", promising a monthly stipend of $1000 and asking her to keep her phone charged at all times "DAY OR NIGHT". 6 Link to comment
kristabell October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 That seems an especially churlish reaction now that there are so few soaps left. And soap actors have always hopped around. I get why a lot of viewers don't like it, but it's nothing new. I think a lot of the reason people take issue with it now is that it is MUCH more common and, more often than not, it's not character recasts but characters created just for new actors. The producers and HWs seem really enamored with getting whatever "big fish" actor they're lusting after, but in my experience fans care much more about their shows and the shows' characters than they do about particular actors. And the fact is, now more than ever before, writers/EPS are shoehorning in "big names" just because they can, not because they make sense or fit on the canvas. 3 Link to comment

I was good friends with a Darby in high school, we invited her to come on our recent 25th high school reunion girls' trip, but she couldn't make it. So I don't have quite the reaction that some (most?) are having in regards to the name. The only other Darby I've heard of is the red-haired actress on Scandal. At least it's different, but yeah not so sure it's a soap name. When I saw her picture, I thought "Interesting. A friend who's 10 years older than them." 3 Link to comment

testardo October 14, 2015 Share October 14, 2015 I will give LW this--the woman knows how to secure a soap gig. From going straight to Guiding Light after Loving/The City, to coming to GH right after GL, she clearly figured out how to play the game early on. If she is leaving GH, I can totally she her using some of that magic to get on one of the other remaining soaps (and yes, most likely Y&R, because of her connection to JFP).I just read Jensen Buchanan is coming on Y&R. FOJ strikes again. Link to comment
TeeVee329 October 14, 2015 Share October 14, 2015 My reaction to Darby was more a) annoyance that we're getting her instead of one of Lucy's daughters and b) annoyance that she's so going to be revealed as Rebecca Budig's (the character's) sister or something. "Oh look, it's Darby and [Rebecca Budig], the Barnes girls!". Ugh. Link to comment

UYI October 14, 2015 Share October 14, 2015 Y&R can afford planes? HA! For those of you who don't know, Jensen Buchanan would commute from her home in Vermont to New York to tape AW in the final years of that show. It was written into her contract. She's married to a very wealthy Beverly Hills guy, and I thought she had largely retired from acting after leaving GH (topic!) in 2002. I guess she loves JFP too much to say no to her. 1 Link to comment

Very possibly. I thought I remembered Darby being replaced because hers was the more forgettable portrayal--I say that fully loving what she did on Scandal while I watched that show. Annie is the one I remember most of the time as Amelia. Link to comment
magnolia11 October 14, 2015 Share October 14, 2015 I think Darby was actually a temporary fill-in while Annie was off doing something else, and then Annie later came back. I could be wrong, but I kind of recall that on Darby's first day, she had a sex scene with Sonny on his desk in his office (Annie's Amelia hadn't had sex with him prior to that point, so I remember thinking that it was strange that it had worked out that way). 1 Link to comment

Sake614 October 15, 2015 Share October 15, 2015 I can't even think of anyone in Jensen's age range on Y&R. She's 53, so that puts her in Tracey Bregman and Melody Thomas Scott's bracket. Lauren is barely on now, and they're certainly not going to cut Nikki since she's Victor's wife. Link to comment

tvgoddess October 15, 2015 Share October 15, 2015 Oh, I thought they meant it was 27-32. I never even considered 32-37. Regardless, we don't need any more new characters. Apparently though, this is what this show is now - 822557614 characters and scraping the bottom of the barrel to find any even half watchable. Link to comment
