As opposed to characters, discuss cast members here -- their performances, awards, etc. -- as well as rumors and confirmations about who's coming and going.

So is this where I go to rant about Kristina Wagner's horrific portrayal of a grieving mother?

She really is just ghastly, isn't she?
I grew up really liking Felicia, because I was young and superficial, and ten years ago she was freakishly gorgeous and looked exactly like a barbie doll.
I was aware even as an eight-year-old that she was no master thespian, but I honestly didn't think of her as being this bad before. Was she? Because I thought she did pretty well in the "Not Barbara Jean's heart!" era.

I thought she rocked during that storyline as well...."Not BJ! Not BJ!" still breaks me into tears when I just think the lines.....
Not that the writing is helping her in this manner at all.....then she wasn't trying to spin Guza's level of crap into gold.

I wasn't watching when she was on before, so I'm only going by what I see now.
I don't know which is worse, Felicia walking around being like "My daughter was brutally murdered and my other daughter hates me! YIPPEE LIFE IS WONDERFUL!"
or Natalia Livingston as Emily the ghost/hallucination walking around with a huge smile plastered to her face being like "I WAS BRUTALLY MURDERED, POSSIBLY BY THE LOVE OF MY LIFE! Ain't life grand!? It really IS all rainbows and sunshine! lalalala!"

She has never set the world on fire for me, but in this case, I don't think she is being helped by the lack of believable back story, and the dropping out of the sky after Georgie's death. If they had brought her back a month or so before and let the character reestablish some relationships, it might have gone down better.

I liked Felicia (and Frisco) back from the Aztec Princess storyline, and thought Kristina was great in the BJ Heart storyline. I am hoping that as she dusts off her acting chops she will get back into the groove and start delivering believable performances again.
I definitely agree with the above poster that it would have been better to bring her back a month earlier. I would also have been open to her returning and helping Georgie find her "inner PI", but that is a whole other topic unto itself.

I was a HUGE fan of Felicia back in the day-BJ's heart, supporting Robin through Stone's death and the aftermath, etc.-but Kristina was better than this back then, though, right? Because right now I can only think of one actress on the show worse than her at the moment-Nazanin Boniadi. I'm sorry, Kristina.

I could blame the writing all day but there does seem something lacking in her performance.
Her voice has always irritated me but it's her facial expressions that are getting to me now. I can't tell if this face is a cross between confusion and happiness but she had it on at Georgie's grave, and other various times when I think she's supposed to look sad. It's bizarre.

I would like to nominate Cameron Webber as MVP actor of the show today. He gets to talk now, beyond just giving the best looks on TV today. Maybe one day he will actually whip out a bitch please!
Daytime Diva- 01-08-2008
He is adorable, isn't he? I pray that the writers don't make him Jason Worshipper #5849687 as he grows up.

I dont see Cameron becoming a Jason Worshipper anytime soon. I dont know why but it just seems like that kid hates him. Which of course makes me so happy

Re: Felicia. It's totally the Botox. It has to be. I used to love her character, back when she was pregnant with Georgie...and before she was Botoxed. At least she's not at Bobbie-level Botox yet.
Oh, and I know there's a rumor going around that a GH actress is pregnant. My money's on Laura Wright. She was wearing a maternity-esque coat yesterday.

Interesting ... that might be why they're pushing the Carly/Jax baby storyline. And she has been wearing that ugly leather dress/coat a lot lately.
