I like the TH as Jordan. I wish the character had always been shown to be strong and composed. I hate the character. She complimented a mob wife on her job as mob boss so that's a bad officer. CM is nothing like Drew. He's so bored that he's in everyone's business. He should have been cast as Dr. Steven Webber instead. I didn't watch PG as Harmony. At least not yet. I do like the original.

Can we go back even further?

How about Nina? MS version or CW version? - I can't decide. Both seem like way different characters, that's for sure.

As for Spencer, I like the current actor in the role a lot. We're now seeing scenes being acted out in a much more preferred manner than when NB was in the role with all his little annoyances (Townie, etc)

Roger Howarth being recast, I prefer him as Franco over Austin though it would have been way better if he could have been originally cast as Franco's brother or long lost cousin or something to start him fresh without all the Franco past that James Franco brought to the role.

TJ Ashford - Prefer Tequan Richmond way more in the role over the current actor. TR brought a spark to the role that had me anxious to watch him. Just don't feel that with Tajh Bellow.

Shall we go back even further? Sarah Brown over Laura Wright in the role of Carly ... Drew Garrett over Chad Duell in the role of Michael ...

I think I liked Sarah Brown more as Claudia Zacchara.

I agree that Cynthia Watros and Michelle Stafford have completely different acting styles. I think Michelle Stafford has extremely limited range and she was basically playing her Y&R character on GH. It was good that she ended up going back to Y&R. Can you imagine her and Maurice Benard doing love scenes? No way would that have worked.

I prefer Roger Howarth as Todd. I do think Austin is his weakest role, but at least he is now connected to the show's wealthiest family, which is how it was for him on OLTL.

I think Claudia fit her more. Mainly because in a long period of time, the character of Carly has to grow up and mature some and Laura Wright seems to fit that maturity more as we saw with her in Friday's touching scenes with what her daughter Joss is going through. I'm sure SB could act the maturity out but she's always seemed the type to get bored with those roles.

Notice though when referring to Carly's past, which seems to be a constant thing, they never refer to anything in the Tamara Braun years ... only in the Sarah Brown ones.

LW is an ok actor- never tanks nor elevates scenes. Brown is a great actress and made Claudia a good character despite bad writing. Braun was between them both.

Nina - MS was better at quirky and CW better at business. I don't like either being weak. Spencer - NB was cute in the role but NC is a better teen one. Roger Howarth - He was best at what Franco became and as Todd but Austin is just odd. TJ - Either of the others Carly - SB was best with Sonny even as Claudia. TB is better on Days. JB was good at crazy. LW was better with Jax.

Emily - I preferred AT's stronger Emily to NL's more serious Emily. I was never a fan of Nikolas & Emily as a couple.

I can not figure out who that is.

I want to add one more to the list. Twice we got to see Molly Burnett temping as Maxie and I have to say she's the preferred one for me over KS.

JB is Jennifer Bransford. MB's Maxie could be said to have inherited Felicia's voice.

Her or Jen Lilley, but Burnet was cuter.

JB's Carly was too nice.

I never saw JL as Maxie so I can't elaborate on her but weird thing is that I could not stand Molly B on Days Of Our Lives. She was ultimately horrible, in my opinion. Something changed with her acting in between the time she left Days and came to GH. She definitely played the role of Maxie way differently than she did the role of Melanie on Days.

Given time she would have turned. She played crazy on OLTL so GH went with that. She wasn't right for the Carly role to me.

I didn't like MB's Days of our Lives character either.. Maybe because MB as Melanie on Days was like KS's Maxie. I can't remember exactly what MB's Maxie scenes were about but maybe they were more serious than the flight ones usually given to KS.

I loved Jen Lilley as Maxie! Unfortunately though she didn't have the greatest things to say about her time there behind the scenes...she said the work was too stressful and working at DAYS was a much better experience.

You can be crazy but nice- she was too nice.
