I agree that for a professional she seemed remarkably ill prepared....Add  her to the increasing list of people who Collinwood/Collinsport kills immediately! Forget the Collinsport paper, wouldn't the Bangor Daily News pick it up? Huge headline: COLLINSPORT, DON'T GO THERE!

It's ironic in both cases because if they'd just stuck around a little while longer they would have both gotten the chance to play new characters in 1897. It's especially ironic for Crothers because as far as I know he went on to play nothing but bland, nice guy characters on the others soaps he went to.

That would have probably been true for Joel, but I'm not so sure about AM. She seems to have been stuck in a "Vicky hell" where she was one of the two people on the show that were not destined to play another character. Frid did FINALLY by insisting that he wouldn't remain on the show any other way. AM reportedly tried to come back IF she could play another role. No dice. I think that is a real shame and  a loss for us fans.

What?  An image carved out of wood???  LOL
HUH?  Am I missing something here?  I've never noticed anything wrong with his acting.

Well, as Tom Jennings, the criticism is somewhat warranted. I think he does a good job as Chris. Last time I watched these shows, I thought him the actor that improved the most on the show. But, this time I noticed that he was always OK as Chris and wooden as Tom, even in the SAME episode! (Surely, you remember his infamous line"JOOOOOOLIIAAAHHHH!"?)

I guess some don't even care for him as Chris. I don't understand it myself. I think he is hunky as all get out and as for acting, somewhere in the middle. Sure, he is no Thayer David, but he isn't a screechy ol'hair puller either!

I, too, am all too happy to see the last of Adam. And I agree that the storyline continues in a well done and interesting fashion for some time to come.

The Frankenstein theme works for a book or a movie. But, I guess the production people just didn't realize how differently a  daily tv show plays. You might be able to take an hour of a unpleasant character in the middle of a movie, but not DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY. Same thing with Lizzie and her death obsession. Vampire=sexy, werewolf=exciting, talking non-stop about death=ratings killer!

Actually, I'm not sure it works that well for a movie either. The latest Star Wars was my least favorite so far, because I really don't like petulant, whiny, lazy, knowitall teenagers and don't care to have to listen to it and watch it!

Hmmm...No frills budget but Staff, Cast, and Crew would sometimes hit the local restaurant for dinner after the show for that day-Go figure...

Sure they did, on their own money! You don't really think he would PAY for it do you??

Does anyone know how it works for lunch on a tv show set? I know in movies they cater it for the whole crew, which is a pretty nice perk for the workers. Do they do that on a tv show? I can just see the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that DC would generously provide!

today's shows were just outstanding! Beth is so unusually beautiful and quite the match for our man Q. The whole storyline is quite creepy and works.

David and Amy make a great "Bad Seed" duo. And they both act it to perfection. I am not one that can keep track of who wrote which and who directed what, I am doing good to keep track of the actors. BUT, I think the director must have been exceptional to get such understated performances from these young people. Most tv shows with kids on them just let them overemote and act "precious". When these kids do that it is part of the act. Brilliant.

Which is NOT the word I could use to describe Lizzie's reaction to them. Duh! Her trust in David giving his word is a scream. At least Barney was suspicious. That really did even the whole scene out.

I love DS so much that I even love it when it is "bad". Their bad is better than most show's good. BUT, every once in a while it is pure greatness on every level.

But, OF COURSE, Wyndcliff was far enough away that Barney could be safe from Angie there. In spite of the fact that she was in the habit of materializing wherever he was.

Blue candles in 1795. I don't think they bothered with dyeing them then. Lit candles in a deserted room.

I too love the women in full makeup anytime, day or night! Another one I love is entire wings of Collinwood suddenly appearing. David mentioned the other day that ONE wing, the west wing, was even shut off. Then out of the blue there comes the EAST wing when the west wing had been done to death.
