Ian is leaving Salem. It will be dramatic. He won’t be back.
So that begs the question…
Is he…..
- dead in a coffin?
- nuts and in a straight jacket?
- off to prison?
- ………………
that nobody likes Ian. I’m positive it’s the character and not the actor. Remember how much everybody hated Brady (the actor) when he first came on? And Melanie. I’ll bet if Ian had played a different part, a nice guy, we probably would have all liked him.
In reverse, everyone liked Gabby when she was a sweet young girl but as soon as they turned her around, everyone wants to see her gone. How fickle we are.
I liked Ian. I didn’t love him but I thought his character had potential. It was nice having a new bad guy on the block, someone other than a DiMera. I think it was his storyline maybe that people didn’t like, and the poisoning Brady thing was just stupid. Given a different storyline, he may have made a great villain. We’ll never know now.
It’s so true, Bonbon, about how fickle we are. Practically everybody here, including me, despised Melanie when she first started and even when she became a better person, we still complained about her whining, sing song voice and the way she acted. Now most of us really like her.
Is that he immediately started as an abusive husband and then in an effort to keep Brady from Madison, started drugging Brady. Yes, it’s the character! I think he used to be on Twin Peaks and I liked him on there, but I hate his character and that’s not being fickle. As for Gabi, if the writer stake a character you really like and turn them into a psycho, jealous, cruel bitch, of course you will hate her.
when Brady first came on (Nicole’s RL husband, can’t remember his name…Kyle?) and I said what a terrible actor he was and couldn’t stand him. Then, when they turned him around, all of a sudden he became a good actor and I really liked him. That’s kind of what I meant about being fickle. Just basically saying that the actions of the character seem to dictate the likeability of the actor. Dumb, I know and I’m as guilty as guilty can be.
there’s more than one board that pulverizes Ali Sweeney, herself, and I think that’s ridiculous. You would be shocked to see some of the insults made to and about her personally. It’s simply sad, knowing she’s an actress doing her job, just like everyone in the business.
on Ali before she lost the weight and had her breast reduction. The board I was on at the time called her "pig face" and other not-so-nice names. Not many people liked her at all.
No matter what you think of her, she does a great job of keeping her character from getting stale. It’s got to be very hard work to portray Sami day after day with all her "warts."
