Lexie and Hope arent to far behind. But I think theres alot of bad writing. The
show has so much potential I think. Its just stupid stuff the actors do or say
annoy me.

I think it's the girl who plays Susan (I think her name is Jennifer
Gee???) because she's just not convincing at all and her vocal
inflections and facial expressions are so fake. She always looks like
she's in pain and like she does not enjoy acting. She's even worse than
Austin.

Yeah, like when Hope always says "I think the boys agree, you agree
right JT?" it's so dumb. I think it's cool when moms don't always talk
baby talk, but Hope acts like he's an adult sometimes and it's very
annoying.

The only reason that Austin Peck is not getting everyone's votes is that he's
hardly been on lately. Come on, folks, remember?! The vacant look? The
long, stumbling pauses mid-sentence? The jittery, awkward movements as he
struggles to remember his lines? The fact that he has never improved one iota
in all his years on the show? He deserves an award for that, if for nothing
else. Please, don't let him NOT win this award, DOOL's Worst Actor. I
implore you!

My opinions might have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

Darn, I forgot about those two. But Nadia is on ALL THE TIME, in EVERY
STORYLINE.... I am betting it will be she, not Alice or Hope or Marlena that
brings J&J together but Chloe/Nadia. It will not be Bo or Hope that realizes
the babies were switched, but Chloe. She will be the one to reveal who
Greta's father is, and hers as well. Etc., etc., etc. So, I have to go with
her then those two, I am being optimistic about them, they will be
disappearing PDQ.

have you forgotten the raised eyebrow, the look of pain on his face all the
time, the weird heavy breathing thing whenever he does superman, the fact he
flurts with everyone and everything. I sware he was flurting with Victor

Out of sight, out of mind.

We know why he hasnt been on lately, because hes terrible. I do think the
script is terrible for him, especially after him and greta were in that stupid
castle, that is the whorst scene ever in days history.

I wonder which one Drake H. and Austin P. is the worst one. Let's say both.
You know what would make Days ratings soar ? Killing John off ! Days need
something more real and get rid of old plots such as "What happened to John
in his past?"/"Is it possible John could be the father ?" - please, no more
Princess Gina, I am SICK of this mess and I don't want anyone to bring Gina
back, never -. If Gina came back, I woud like her to be a true villainess.

Theres always talk of bringing Gina back, I bet most of DOOL watchers are

They have you brainwashed. The teens are better than the adults, when there is
STUPID story lines for the adults. And when the "TEENS" are really 20-23 (BROE)
I like Jack and Jennifer, I like Victor. I hate Kate. But I also enjoy the
teens. But I wouldnt want to make a spin off of the teeens!!

Yeah, Nadia rocks. I like her, too, but I think that the show focuses
too much on Chloe and Belle. Those two girls get WAYYYY too much stage
time. I'd like to see more of Mimi and Sami Brady, actually.

Gina was good, it's just that it was dragged out by two (3 if you count
Lorraine Broderick's 8 week tenure which began in november of 1999) idiot
writers way too long. In the beginning it was good, but it was just so
long, dragged out, and boring. It was an entire year. However we can
atleast give Sally Sussman Morina (1997-1999) credit that her last episode
had Hope and Bo reunite and Gina's personality no longer in control. It was
Broderick who had RealGina kidnap Hope, but Langan's the one who dragged it
too long. Still, realGina in Salem was a nice phase. It was just ruined by
Hope pregnant and whinning in the tourette for 5 months.

I also think the actress who plays lexie isn't that great. I find she over

he was ever so enthusiastic and she was like his little puppet.

I think Andrea Hall Gengler's a waste of this soap's time, really and
truly. She's so phony! She didn't impress me very much as Sam Evans when
I was a kid watching DOOL either. Deidre's always been the better
actress of the two and IMO that's why Deidre gets roles on TV movies and
Andrea (her real life twin) does not. Andrea's facial expressions are
more predictable than Ted Koppel's bad haircuts, really and truly.

Wasn't that just sad how Marlena was ever the caring boob when Jennifer
was late twice? She was all like "You're not wasting my time. I'm happy
to be of help." Sheesh, she sounded like she was programmed by Rolfe to
say that or something. What the heck person of a professional stature
RESPECTS AND PATS ON THE BACK people who have a habit of inconsiderately
showing up late? That was ridiculous! Somebody hit these writers now! I
just feel so sorry for Deidre any more that I wanna' take her aside and

I'd have to say I am not particularly a fan of Fay. There is no heart in
her portrait of an abused woman and her relationship with Nick and Brand
seem shallow.

Speaking of shallow, Nadia may have the vocal cords to hit the nots, but the
expression on her face is like she is constipated. I know that is supposed
to be part of what Brady was blasting her for, but I also noticed it when
the cast was singing all last week as well.

Then there is Will. Poor kid. Somehow I think he just would rather be
playing than on the set.

Austin is just the top of the bunch. It is as painful to watch him act as
it is to hear Shatner sing.

I think it's neat how they both grew up without their mom and then
managed to "find" each other. Kinda' like when Rosie O' Donnell and
Madonna became friends while filming the movie "A League of Their Own".
Rosie's *not* my favorite person by any means, really, but I think it's
very cool that she was able to find a kinship with her friend this way.
It's like God sent them to each other to somehow begin the healing
process.

I hope she dates Kevin for a while and eventually ends up with Philip.
I'd like to see Kevin with Susan. They seem more suited for each other
personality-wise.

Hmmm. I have this odd feeling that Belle will end up with Philip, Jan will

wondered if Mimi might end up with Philip. Then again, they are all teens,
so all that can change at a moment's notice.

I used to like Deidre Hall a lot, but lately I really can't stand Marlena.
I think the exorcist storyline she was in years ago was a hoot. I haven't
seen anything else that she's been in, so it's not like I can make a truly
informed opinion on her as an actress.

Oh, God...it was in the 70's and then again for a return in the early

I hope to god it isn't Bill. That is all we need NADIA and her mediocre
acting getting even more exposure. She deserves less airtime not more, and
that would be what would happen were she Bill's child.

I guess if I weren't a heterosexual female I might overlook her non-existent
skills. But sorry she is sadly unemotional in her scenes. Her delivery is
flat and off the mark. She primps and prines in every scene and to me that
is not acting. She is far to over-rated and exposed.

Even though Australia is like 3 years behind, Marlana absolutly shits me
(sorry bout the language) All she ever does is cry, tell John she loves him
and generally acts pathetic. Her eyes are never dry, they're always misty
with tears, and she's just sooooooo boring, and she's a damn hypocrite,
it's alright for her to lie to Roman and yet it's not ok for Sami to lie to
Austin? I know they were different circumstances, but the truth with both
situations had a drastic effect. Also she's kidnapped at least 3times a year
(exaggeration) or she's 'died' and then comes back to life a few months
later. Really, when Marlana gets a decent storyline, one that doesn't
involve lots of crying or telling John she loves him or lying to someone,
well then I'll be happy. Personally I'd prefer a storyline where she dies
and never comes back, I think the show would be better off without her, but
nevermind...

ICAL. She is true to what Chloe's emotional state may be.


Her delivery is
> flat and off the mark.

Sometimes. But I see that as a flat-ness or off-ness in Chloe's
character. Chloe is one damaged little girl. She accused her boyfriend
of raping her just because he lied to her. Her mother gave her up.
She's been the object of torment at school. I think a flat affect
couldn't be more true to the character.

She primps and prines in every scene

What is "prines"?

No, she has NO expression in her delivery. All Nadia does is stares that
stare of hers, and thrusts out her chest. She has no expression and that is
NOT because the character is unemotional due to emotional scars. There is
nothing insightful in her acting that would make me believe that Chloe is a
suffering soul yearning to be loved. Nadia is flat. She throws out her lines
poorly. She stands and poses, she does not act.

I have always thought the same. When Brady sang to Chloe, Nadia did a wonderful
job, you could really see the depth of emotion in her face.

I've always felt that Nadia's one who conveys more with her eyes and
face than with her voice in terms of her acting. I think Kirsten Storms
is the exact opposite. She's all voice and relies a lot her hands and
her body language when she talks. That's why they compliment each other
so well in their buddy scenes and give flavor to the show.

No teens on this show are a carbon copy of each other, really. I have to
give them credit for that, even though some of the teen's writing sucks.
Much like with Beverly Hills, 90210, some of these DOOL teens are a
cliche (like Penny, Susan, and Kevin) but at least they're all very
different personalities, just like real teenagers.

This show hasn't captured the teenage years as heartbreakingly or as
effectively as My So Called Life or Party of Five did, IMO, but I'm
quite glad that the teens are all different from one another and all
seem to have their own set of personal and emotional baggage.

It's not Dobey Gillis, Father Knows Best, The Brady Bunch, Gidget, Saved
By the Bell, Leave it to Beaver, or Our Miss Brooks where you want to
snooze through the show because all the kids seem so much the same. It's
got a "Grease" aspect to it in that all of these kids have separate
fears, a separate sense of style or lack of, and separate baggage.

Well, I don't think you could be more wrong in your assessment, but
that's just my opinion and differing opinions are an interesting,
mind-extending, worthwhile thing as far as I'm concerned. :-)


Here's how I see it:

Chloe is emotionally scared. Chloe is wooden. CHLOE is flat and puts up
an exterior wall to "protect" herself from further being hurt.
(It's kind of like how Nicole's very defensive and snippy around men as
a means of protecting herself. She has to *appear* to have the upper
hand in order to feel safe. Chloe's method is to act stuffy and kind of
snobbish as a protective emotional armour of sorts...)

That's why Chloe couldn't even tell Philip "I love you". Those three
words aren't something she takes for granted, that's why. They would've
meant a lot, had she heard them when she was growing up. She's an
emotional wreck, so she's not going to be the spoiled Little Sunshine
Girl that Belle is or the fliplipped Smart Alec that Fath portrays so
well in Mimi Lockhart.

JMO, but I think Bjorlin is portrayed her as she's been directed to and
as the writers have crafted this fragile, formerly orphaned and abused
character. Severe emotional abuse and neglect makes people act like
Chloe. Severely ignored boundaries between a parent and child lead them
to act out like Nicole has.

The sole reason that Nicole seeks power and clout in money and sex is
because she was Paul's source of increased income via her own sexual
abuse. When she uses her sexuality as a financial weapon in her
adulthood, she feels vindicated, like she's somehow getting "back at
Daddy".

Chloe is the same way about the whole "I Love You" thing. She treats the
words like a *REWARD* that no one around her is worthy of because it's a
phrase that no one ever took for granted to loosely verbalize or even
meaningfully approach her with while growing up.

I hope that Brady is the person she finally says it to, and something's
telling me that when it's finally versed, she's going to mean every
damned word of it almost as if it were her lifeline.

I'm rooting for that boy wholeheartedly. He's extremely protective of
Belle and Chloe to the degree that he's fastidiously cognizant and all
too aware of their emotion. Brady deserves those three words from her
(down the road a ways) SO MUCH MORE than Philip ever could. He's human
on every level that Philip is so incredibly plastic.

Thanks. It's not Nadia that's flat as an actress. She's succeeding,
actually. It's the CHARACTER that has been scared (though not
irreparibly IMO, yet she has to learn that first) and emotionally
wounded and is trying to find her way out of this "black hole", really.

How's she keep her makeup on? She cries wayyyyyy too much. I know
there's such a thing as Waterproof mascara, but damn...Marlena's got
like two layers of black liquid eyeliner on and two rows of fake
eyelashes on the top of the lid and off to the sides. You can tell when
she closes her eyes to kiss John. That'd be uncomfortable to cry with.
Not to mention all that eyeshadow. Yeeeeeick. I'd try to make a deal
with the costume/makeup people if I were her. Whenever she cries (which
is like every day she's on) it's just a hideous race to dab her eyes
within two seconds so it doesn't all smear. LMAO at her!

For what it's worth, I do think she is pretty. She doesn't even NEED all
of that eyemakeup. She's pretty on her own!

I like Nicole's character because there's that victim side of her with
the whole Paul-Fay-Brandon thing and then there's that tough girl side
of her at Titan. Therefore, it is hard to know what to expect with her.

But Marlana definatly wears way too much makeup, she must realize that she

wear 5pounds of makeup just to have it run down my face, what a complete
