Actually i've been watching the show for just over 10 years now and I have never liked Marlena...Deidre may be a good actress but seeing her play Marlena makes me think otherwise...there was a time that I did like John, especially when him and Kristen were having an affair, but now....
Ugh! True it is mostly the writers fault, but there's just something I really dislike about Marlena and John. I can tell this is a subject we will never agree on, everyone is entitled to their own opinion!

Wow, I wouldn't have thought that, I just figured you'd only been watching for maybe 5 years or something. Yeah, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. Or will end up like this

everytime we see eachother. lol

Heh nope! When my family moved into a new house just over 10 years ago we were the only people living in this neighborhood because it was a new area and I had nothing to do all summer except watch tv and thats when I became hooked on Days!

I think I just always thought it was pathetic how Stefano was obsessed with his "Queen of the Night" and I blamed her for coming between John and Kristen and then there was the whole possessed by the devil storyline that was pretty pathetic...but I take back wut I said about Deidre being a bad actress, it's just Marlena that I hate.

You were a John and Kristen fan then? Yeah, now it makes lots of since why you hate Marlena. She was pretty much the center of the show during those years, so I can see why you'd maybe resent her, or just plain not like her character. lol. The thing about the possesion is most don't get it, I thought it was stupid, too. Until, I got older, now when I look back at it, I see it differently, to me it wasn't about all the crap about changing into a panther and levatating lol, that story was really about John and Marlena's love, it was the ultimate love story. But being as you arent' a John and Marlena fan, you have no reason to like it. lol. We may disagree but we're civil about it and I compliment you on your niceness.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I kinda liked Kristen in a like to hate her sorta way. Kristen cracked me up a lot, I'd like to see her back someday, I'd love to see more Marlena and Kristen catfights those were HILLARIOUS.

starsprite · 07-29-2003, 04:44 AM

Yup I was a big John and Kristen fan..Kristen is probably my favorite character from Days ever...well her and Vivian!
The posession storyline didn't even start off that bad...it was kind of neat watching all this bad stuff going on around town and you didn't know who it was until Marlena took off the black mask and it was like "*gasp* Oh my gosh how could it have been Marlena?!" from that point on the storyline just went downhill imo!

Aww thanks, ya it's nice that we can have a friendly little debate because even though we disagree on this i'm sure there are many other opinions of characters/storylines that we'll totally agree on!!

I Dream of Jeannie · 07-29-2003, 08:31 AM

Kristen and Vivian are definitely favorites of mine as well. They were both so hillarious. Ivan was pretty funny too. I'd love to see them return someday. Maybe with Reilly coming back it will happen.

Ok, for over rated: Susan Lucci, this is just my opinion but i don't think she is a good actress but that is just my opinion! so don't go all nuts on me.

and for under rated: Robin Christopher(Skye GH) she is such a great actress.

iloveTV · 07-31-2003, 04:53 PM

Overrated- Susan Lucci (She is a diva...)

Underrated- Tamara Braun. She has done a wonderful job with the role of Carly. Taking over where Sarah Brown left off must have been hard and I think she is getting comfortable in her role. Go Tamara!

Over-Rated- Tamara Braun- She is a total hack, she's ruined GH.

Under-rated- I would say that Julia Rose Barr is underrated, she is a FABULOUS actress with great depth and range and outside the soap world she is hardly known at all, i think she should be a media darling like Lucci, Hall and Dano! she's that great!
