Oh   Oh oh another carlips day....the woman is plain
pathetic as an actress....the same lines are being
repeated numerous times an episode for the past
five gd days....what is so unique and fast moving about
this...I am beginning to hate the charater of Laurence, he
is the blandest thing: chalk that up to Ms. Bloodsucker
to ruin a third character--Peter Reckell's Bo, Victor,
and now Laurence. The woman has no acting ability beyond
that single stomache ache expression, and her attempt
at anger is a joke, she huffs a few words, which is more
of a mumble. She has Spaci Greason's fake tears....
Yet she has the storyline. The writers afford Ms. Chappell
with everything while everyone else gets token scenes.
We are promised a storyline for J&J, and Julie and then
after a few episodes they are given nothing but a token
and corny plot line which is about to end. SHH is let
go for no storyline...of course there is no storyline,
everyone is too busy creating one for Crystal. Richard
Biggs is even treated worse than Matt Ashford...again
the same lame excuse no storyline...well, geez, I thought
that the duty of a writer was to create a storyline, using
his/her imagination....Whatever the hold Ms. Chappell has
on TPTB it must be pretty big...I know a couple of folks
on the group like her, but I find the vast majority don't
and a high precentage detest her....I tend to believe that
this mirrors the viewing public as a whole--it has been
stated that the BBS overwhelmingly hate the actress. The
ratings are the pits, and this has been ever since her
character has monopolized the show. These facts are just
too much to be countered that we who do not like her
are in the minority. Rumors have popped up even in SOD that
she is not liked by her fellow castmates. This woman is
just plain unprofessional, so why all this extra special
treatment? Back when other major DOOL actors/tresses were
on they never got the treatment she receives, and they 
definitely were fan favorites. The show was far more
equitable before Ms. Chappell took over. In articles we
hear that she speaks of working soo much, while other
actresses remind her that they do not work at all. I get
the feeling that she is not at all sympathetic to her
fellow acters--except Michael. Anyway, it will be interesting
to see what happens with the return of Kristian Alfonso,
who was a major favorite with the viewers, who is gorgeous,
and who can act. Will she be a villanness so that we feel
sorry for Cameldroppings? Will she be Hope and take the
limelight away from Crystal?--Like right. More likely will
she be utterly ruined like everyone else who were fan
favorites?--Probably. I do not know, but you Carly fans
cannot complain much since she is always on, and for the
vast majority of each episode...so you do not have too much
J&J stuff to FF over--we on the contrary are lucky if we
get in about an 1 of viewing time a week after speeding
past, yet another episode, and scene with Crystal. With
Kristian's return again she will be center stage of another
major storyline. TPTB won't remember that Julie, J&J, and
John were also part of the storyline which resulted in
her disappearance, Jenn will stick by her dispite the
fact that Hope is her cousin, Julie won't be around,
and John probably will get little airtime--we can just forget
about Jack. So Carly fans all you have to do is read negative
posts in this group about her, but you get to see her
constantly. We vast majority of Carly bashers have to see
her constatly, and our only outlet is this group...it is
easier for you guys to ignore our complaints than for
us to settle with her. You folks are getting your wish,
we are not.
