GASP!!! Blasphemy!! Ok, just kidding but LH is BEAUTIFUL! FT had that weird thing going on with her nose and what looked like a scar on her upper lip. Yes, FT had sexier eyes and maybe a more vavavoom body (could not work it) but as for everything else LH wins hands down with her doe eyes and talent, she's just a more innocent type of sexy. |

I think Lindasy Hartely is easily one of the sexiest women in daytime....hands down!!! You have to really see her in action to appreciate her. Give her a week....she is going to do just fine, I think. |

My first impression of Lindsay? Meh. Nothing spectacular. But it's just one day. Let's see how she does over time. The first Arianna looked a bit like Rafe so it was easy to see the brother and sister combination. Given the right material, I think Taylor could become a pretty good actress. She stood her own against Ari earlier this year when Mia and Nicole had scenes. Sadly, I'm beginning to think the show needs a new writing team for this to happen. I'll reserve judgment on whether Corday needs to regain control (God, I NEVER thought I'd say that!) Overall I guess I'm more excited for Carly, Vivian, Lawrence, etc. to return.

I can never get over how gorgeous Lindsay is.She is by far a WAY better Arianna,Felisha was just dry with her acting alot of the time,Lindsay is more loose,its only her first day she'll get better and better as she goes,I'm glade once again she's not playing a goody goody,she's good at playing a naughty girl with a heart. I thought the rest of todays show was BORING though. |

The acting, the writing, the plots, the sets on Passions were so second rate it's a shame to have Days associated with such a failure of a show. It's just my opinion but I was surprised that Passions lasted as long as it did.

The motel that Philip took Mel to, is that the same motel Kyle/Brenda stayed at?

First impression of Hartley as Arianna: I like it! I didn't catch the whole episode, just the last 20 minutes, but in her scenes with the drug dealer and Brady, she wasn't bad at all. She seemed like a natural. |

It really was weird seeing LH, EM and GG all in the same scene, talk about deja vu. There's really not too much for me to judge LH on her scenes alone but I was getting really sick of seeing FT's Ari. FT had a coldness to her that didn't translate like Chloe's goul girl had, FT just made Ari unecessarily rude and unfriendly. I do have mixed feeling about the Brianna pairing but I will keep an open mind. LOL at Dr. Dan having to get drunk before trying to seduce Kate. He looks like he's been sleeping under a park bench with how dirty looking he's gotten. Nice abs, though! Kate makes Dan and Danloe enjoyable for me. I would think Dr Wesley would have more of an opinion about what to do with Chloe and would want Lucas to turn over his next of kin status to them. While I really enjoy Nicole and Sami as friends, the writers went too too fast with their newfound relationship. So first thing Sami does after getting the Dr. Baker call is to confide in her new bff Nicole? I guess it was because Nicole had Baker as a dr too so she wanted more info but it seemed too forced and a bit jarring. I do like how it made Nicole's plight even more prominent. Nicole feels so badly that her new friend is going through this pain but she's really stuck between a rock and a hard place. I liked it better when EJ and Lexie weren't siblings. |

i was also surprised that craig didn't pitch a fit over lucas considering pulling the plug. i know he's a doctor, andi know this is chloe's decision what with the living will, but i guess i was suprised how calm craig was about the whole thing. i know a lot of people have trouble letting go, especially in the case of a parent doing so with a child, but it seems as if he had already made up his mind about it before he even showed up. i don't know, it was kind of odd for me. as much as i complained about the decision to hire hartley, i really liked her today. i totally agree with the above that terell had a coldness about her that hartley doesn't. also, for me, hartley is just a better actress. she's more at ease than terell was, and says her lines in a more believeable manner. i definitely think i can get into the character now, but truth be known, i was always a teresa fan, so it's not too shocking. loved LK's scenes at the end of the show. i totally bought that she's torn--on the one hand, she's too smart to fall for daniel's tricks, but the on the other her pride and ego doesn't want to let her admit that he's playing her for a fool. |

I would think that Craig would be more suspicious of Lucas. My understanding is that he doesn't know Lucas at all so how is he suppose to know for sure that Lucas isn't the one who tried to kill his daughter and even if he thinks Lucas is innocent wouldn't he be harboring ill feelings for Chloe since she cheated on him. If I were Dr. Craig, I wouldnt back whatever decision Lucas makes. I would be very nervous, but I guess they dont want to creat a Terry Shivo s/l out of it. I didn't think FT was a bad actress but she didn't give too much to make you want to connect to the character. She was doing fine for a while and then maybe because they put Ari in so many ackward situations she got stuck in the playing it cold mode. I wonder if something happened backstage to make her even more uncomfortable because I would think a model would be more comfortable with her body but that wasn't the case during the bikini scene. the poor girl looked like she had body image issues and looked uneasy to be around a half naked man. |

I didn't watch Passions so I had never seen Hartley before. I thought Terrell was OK but Hartley is definitely an improvement. It was good to see Craig on screen again.

I thought LIndsay did good for her first day. I can't wait to see her in scenes with JKJ, JS, John Aniston and Joe Mascolo. |

No joke--I tuned in yesterday and saw Melanie, and until they said her name, I TOTALLY thought that was the chelsea recast. Girl's got EVERY mannerism of Melvin down pat. They should just recast the role so that "Melanie" dies and becomes Chelsea. It was actually jarring to hear her called Melanie. THAT IS SO CHELSEA! |

Thanks for the response, Phoenix. I just can't believe that the producers couldn't find SOME way to shorten the theme to fit the new time, so that it doesn't sound shitty and forced to FIT the time. There is a way. And it can't cost much money just to shave off a few seconds and record a new, shorter version. I guess it's good if they're going the JER route. I'm going to give it a shot again, particularly now that I can catch the show online. |

I'm watching Friday's US episode now. First Craig's return and now the new Arianna. WOW! This Arianna feels weird but will work out well quick times. |

:) I figured I might get some crap from that comment, but I must say that I watched yesterday's show and LH wasn't too bad. She did come off a bit more natural than FT, and maybe the promo was just a bad angle of her (something with her eyes/brows) because she was rather pretty on the show. I found FT gorgeous, but when she did that bikini scene, it was awkward all around, and it seems that LH comes off a bit more comfortable. I'm willing to give her a chance. I just feel that there are too many Passions people around my show now. I didn't like Passions. I don't know why they bought Dr. Craig back for this minor silly role, but it was so good to see him. I missed him and Nancy. I am just not feeling the Sami/Nicole relationship. I want it to work for them - they both need good friends who get them - but I can just hear Sami's screaming fit when she does her "I thought you were my friend" speech in a few weeks when the truth comes out. Oh, don't forget the "I'll NEVER forgive you." Ugh. I hope I'm wrong. Dr. Dan IS getting oranger while his hair gets yellower. Still lovin' his story. It was an okay week. :) |

And I guess that's why I'm not too crazy about Tomlin catching JER's style. I didn't care for it the second time around, so don't force it. Chris Whitesell isn't Jim Reilly. Let him write naturally. On an unrelated note, yes yes yes! Do something. Shorten a scene here and there. Don't get rid of the trivia, because that's a good feature. But BRING BACK THE LONGER OPENING!!! |

Lindsay Hartley is so much better than Felisha Terrell. For the first time, I can actually see myself potentially coming to like Arianna, instead of just being bored whenever she's onscreen. |

Same here. And I tried to like Arianna, and Brady with Arianna. Just couldn't. Well I thought she (LH) was great, especially considering it was only her first day and hasn't really acted at all in the past year and a half. Like that she never just memorizes and reads her lines, no matter how basic they are. It's little things she does that just make me love her so much! So i'm looking forward to seeing what happens next, and hope she gets even better with time. And that's my lovefest for the day. :wub: Oh. Didn't think of Passions, Theresa, or Theresa/Ethan one bit while watching, either. |
