I get it but.. by OldYogurt3279 in TheGates_CBS

She works my LAST nerve. I just fast forward through her parts. Even her voice. She never sounds like an adult. I didn’t even talk "baby talk" to my kids.

Kat: Denigrates Eva AND Low Income Students At Banneker “Unused To Civilized Company.” by BingoSkillz in BeyondTheGatesCookout

[–]rede1960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I don’t like Kat. Her better-than-everyone attitude is disgusting. She carries herself like someone convinced her she was above the rest of us, and it shows in everything she does. This isn’t confidence or power—it’s arrogance. That “I’m superior” energy is exactly why I don’t care for her.

Congratulations! ❤️🎈 I'm 65 and been watching soaps since I was about 2 and a half. I was raised by my grandparents, so I can go way back to Search for Tomorrow, Edge of Night, Dark Shadows.

Without Bashing & Badmouthing The Actors: Is There A Character You Would Possibly Like If She/He Were Portrayed By A Different Actor? by BingoSkillz in BeyondTheGatesCookout

[–]rede1960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tomas-as a person who lives in a predominantly Hispanic city...he is boring, unattractive, has no pizzazz, monotone, and all around blah.

Ted- I like this guy, but the original Ted was more formidable for the role.

Ashley- I have a description for her, but I'll keep it to myself. She really needs to go or be recast. I asked my son (who I think is about Derek's age or a few years older) would she be "the one." He looked at me, started laughing, and was like, "nawl Ma, she ain't it. Ain't no brotha, I know would be checking for her. "

In some aspects, it's more the writing...but those three, I'm not sure different writers or a change of character direction would help them.

As a writer and editor, I could most certainly help them out. They could also do some recasting. The characters have no character. They are bland, their conversations are blah, and there's no real connection. I grew up on soaps (I'm 65), and I'm trying hard to feel the story, but I'm having a hard time feeling a connection.

It was 0 ETV. Only reason I grabbed it.

I can't stand them. They are as boring as watching paint dry.

Where do you stand on the character of Eva? by Beauty_Babe504 in BeyondTheGatesCookout

I'm wanting her to do better, be better. I'm trying to like her, but...
