GH’s Cynthia Watros Talks On Taking Over The Role Of Nina & Ingo Rademacher Dishes Jax’s New Love Interest

46
I cannot wait to see her in this role
I can not wait for Cynthia to become Nina, and that’s due to the fact I don’t care for M.S. I don’t welcome her return to Y&R .but we can’t have everything, right? Also, being shown in her worst drunken Phyllis charactor, will not be easy to watch. You’re just waiting to see whose life she’ll wreck next. I agree with what C.W says about playing opposite Jax and Valentin. I’m hoping Valentin will be out of the picture soon, when she finally finds out what he’s done TO her and not for her. They say Sasha is really Liesel’s… Read more »
Oh, my dear Violet! You are preaching to the choir here on the “pro-clean shaven look” for men! I am totally turned off to the hirsute facial trend that seems to be everywhere these days! On most, it simply looks sloppy and grubby….like these guys are just too lazy to be bothered to groom themselves!!! Ugh! Don’t stand so close to me! Hah! I am especially against it when a man is otherwise very handsome…I cannot understand why they would want to cover up the full glory of their beautiful facades with face fur! Of course, there are exceptions to… Read more »
I do not like beards!
They are dirty– have snot, bad-breath, food crumbs, and critters in them YCK..
Imagine all the crud a beard collects, especially on a hot sweaty day or after eating sloppy Joes AHAA.
beards are dirty!.. They might even stink!
And those guys with the half-butt mohawk hairstyles are NASTY UGLY they look like a drunk shaved half their head..
Just wanted to jump in with my opinion BWAAHA!
SuOOO
Feel free to jump in any time, especially when we agree, ha! Funny, you bringing up the beards. I don’t really mind a full on beard if it is taken care of and litter free. Yesterday, watching Curtis, I was thinking how attractive it looks on him, but that grungy facial stuff like Shiloh and some others sport these days are disgusting. Oh yes, those haircuts you mentioned are the worst, aren’t they? First of all, they look like convicts or a military recruit, I don’t know, but I hate the style too.
Hey, Violet! How are you? 😉 Funny you mentioned “Shiloh.” I just posted a comment and I included him in my looks good with a beard list. I think he’s very sexy…twinkling eyes and all for a predator.
Hi Rebecca
Nice to hear from you even if we dont agree. Sorry, he’s just got the kind of face I’d like to run over with a lawn mower. Where you see twinkling eyes, I see pure evil. He’s done such an amazing job of playing Shiloh, I don’t think I could ever like him in anything ever again. I just hope he doesn’t turn up on another show too soon, after he leaves GH.
LOL; that’s so not nice; Coby Ryan McLaughlin (Shiloh) is an actor and if he’s doing THAT good a job he should absolutely show up on another show asap!
I have seen him in several other things…a few movies…he’s also a good musician; has his own band..sings, plays guitar, harmonica.
LOL! “Like to run over with a lawn mower” Gotta admit..that was rather amusing…even though we “don’t agree.”
Well su, you have certainly expressed yourself on this subject in your own inimitable no-holds barred fashion! I was trying to be a bit more subdued whilst sharing my viewpoint on the matter, but you definitely nailed it in a much more succinct manner! Thank you for going where a lot of dared not tread….despite being in total agreement with you!
Thanks, Shay. Am glad to hear that someone loathes this unshaven look as much as I do. This grizley Shiloh has got to be the worst. It’s like these men do not use mirrors anymore. I love Eric’s looks on Days, but lately, when I watch him, it’s like OMG, do you really not know what you look like? Hopefully Shiloh will soon be seeing his last dawn of days. His minions, followers or whatever we call them are leaving, one by one. Margaux and Nina headed back to Y&R, and am not looking forward to Nelle’s return, but I… Read more »
I don’t like beards either but having said that, I detest the hairless, waxen chest look on men too. I say take the hair off their faces and implant it into their chests.
Harry, I like certain beards as on Curtis, and I like mustaches that are trimmed properly,i.e Tom Sellleck, and I do love chest hair, as long as it doesn’t cover the shoulders and back as was Robin Williams, RIP.
Oh, you definitely struck a nerve with me on that subject, Violet! I’m simply weary of the cookie-cutter look on so many contemporary males (and soap guys, particularly….) who have that same casually-unkempt facial fuzz, hairstyles(?) and wardrobe. I just thought I was the only one who found it unattractive and annoying since I’m all about classically handsome, clean-cut, well-attired men. I’d love to name names……..but I won’t! LOL……
Aw come on Shay, give us some names.
Shay, Violet, Su…I also can’t stand beards from stubbly to long, or bushy. Disliked it when it spread to baseball players. And David Letterman. Ugh! I will say there are two exceptions who do wear them well…Gandalf in Lord Of the Rings, and Dumbledore in Harry Potter. But they were appropriate for the roles they played. And British actors of course. Can’t wait for season two of Discovery Of Witches. Found some really good DOW videos on YouTube to try to get me by.
AHAA! the youtube– 0ohhh my gawd!!
the women of that era of soaps look/acted like out of control crazy wacko women lol
Whoa the women were portrayed as raging crazy.. ahaa!
Ashely acted as if she escaped from a mental ward ..
(they all did, actually)
What an Insult to women !!
* Old-time wako Soap Divas as portrayed in comedy skits in SNL and other in-kind soap skits is that youtube for sure —
You’re definitely onto something, su000! I personally don’t care for overacting, never have. It’s almost as though some actors — and it’s not just the actresses — feel that they can grab Emmy gold by screaming longer and louder, or by crying at the drop of a hat and carrying on incessantly, sobbing, sniffing, slobbering… I must wonder whether directors are still on set. I like believability: in plotlines and in acting. You don’t have to knock me over the head with either. Just tell the story. Just convey characterization. Be real. And this comes from a clean-shaven, clean-cut, generally… Read more »
Jamesj! Haven’t been around these parts in a while…how art thou?” I see you’re still the clever one…”chinny-chin-chin!” Toupe! Errr…Touche!
Hello there, Rebecca1! Thanks for your reply! All is going well with me. I hope all is well with you, Friend! My visits to these parts are scarce as well. Yet these parts are clearly enhanced by your presence — sincerely. Thanks for making my day, and please take care.
@James….Thank you for the gracious “shoutout” regarding my take on current trends in male “grooming”…or more precisely, “non-grooming!” Lol…I’m not surprised that you take the task seriously given your own self-described virtues. Kudos! (You sound like one dreamy gent!) On a slightly more annoying note, this is the third reply I’ve typed to you in the past two days….I’m hoping it will be the charm and actually post by keeping it short and sweet. Obviously, it was quite a treat to see you back amongst the denizens of the ever-expanding Fairmanville….(even if navigating its many cyber highways and byways can… Read more »
Hello Shay! And you have now thoroughly made my day! Thanks so much for your warm welcome and extremely kind words! You know I respect and think very highly of you as well. Thanks for your continued efforts to reach me here. On to the soaps, glad we agree about the overacting. And you are so wise and enlightened to honor Genie Francis and Finola Hughes. They are true soap royalty — not posers, like some others — they are not only popular and radiant, they are indeed great actresses! I will try not to be a stranger. I know… Read more »
Frank pulled out a perfect replacement, maybe better than the original.
Mike something tells me I am suddenly going to be a fan of Nina’s.
I agree, I was disappointed when I found out Stafford was leaving and then more excited that watros wss replacing her. U look forward to this nina.
I can’t wait to see her debut as Nina, I’m really bummed about Michelle leaving but I think Cinthia will be great recast for sure. as for the triangle, I’m really hoping they do ingo right. I think he’s been giving the short stick in the past when it came to Sonny and company, I really hope they let Jax be more assertive and not this guy that can be made to look like a fool just to make Sonny and Jason look like they always have to be right or win with any one who doesn’t belong to their… Read more »
I know there are a lot of diverse opinions on Michelle Stafford as Nina, but I personally loved her in the role, and I’m gonna miss her. I wish ABC/GH had done more to keep her, rather than letting Y&R swoop in and pull the rug out from everybody. But that’s water under the bridge at this point. I’m excited to see what Cynthia Watros does with Nina. She was fantastic as Annie Dutton on Guiding Light. She more than has the acting chops to come in and not only fill Michelle’s shoes, but make the role her own. Like… Read more »
I saw a video interview – not sure if these interviews were one and the same, but Ingo seemed to indicate he’s on contract. Can anyone confirm that?
I’m hoping! I think that’s right!
Its a blessing. Staff was horrible as Nina and Michelle is a good actress. She will be a sight for sore eyes on Y&R. Gina is a mean, unlikable version of Phyllis. Staff will be much better with the new Adam. As far as Cynthia, she will make Nina her own and is capable of shinning with Jax.
Of course I’ll miss Michelle, but I was a big fan of Cynthia’s when she played Annie on GL. She’s a proven talent, so I can’t wait to see her take on this character. Best Wishes to her.
Cynthia is a wonderful actress, I agree with you Rodd. I loved her as Annie Dutton on Guiding Light. She was cray cray lol Cynthia will do a good job on GH as the new Nina.
HOW … Nina managed to be right up their @GH as one of – MY – favorite pairing… w/Shelly AND Chris helming any thing… I don’t know if you look @the whole canvas… I truly think… @Shelly AND Chris , may have found a beading on what makes Nina and Valentin Kick… moreso w/Valentin , than Nina. Meaning, Give Nina MORE backbone… let Nina help, stand alongside, solve, play parenting, passion ensue… etc etc etc for instance … currently, Nina shouldn’t be so “coy” nervous stammer w/the likes of Jax AND Valentin… well not so much w/Valentin.. altho she sure… Read more »
^^^^ THIS THIS THIS !!! Valentin HOT ME OUT per Cynthia ! “…Nina’s present love interest, James Patrick Stuart (Valentin), which the actress is also excited about:“I have to say, I have not met him, but I have been watching the show, and he is just phenomenal. ” Oh Cynthia ; are you in for it James Patrick Stuart is – beyond – phenomenal !!! pulse quicken mind stir caught this is thee dance of the show not one man compares – dullard troupe think Sonny / Jason /Michael / Peter / Finn/ Franco you have Billy Miller’ who’s climbing… Read more »
TOP DOG – Jon Lindstrom’ Kevin – no –
that’s shared w/JPS’ Valentin
always Big Mac
W/Scotty just chompin @the bit
thee – one – thing i’d advice Ms. Watros’ let’s not take on the addled vice of Nina childlike coquettish manner OKAY we get that Nina spent a good 20 plus years in a coma…. all this meaning her womanhood was coma. hence , all Nina had to draw on was her years , presumably under 21 years of age. no hesitancy no tilt of the head no coil inward … FULL ON STATURE we are talking FULL ON WOMAN charged to the gills because you come from high brow command intellect Passion because the world is yours what do… Read more »
Oh Patrick
J.P.S AND Ingo! The mind boggles!
I love watching her acceptance speech for the Guiding Light Emmy! Guiding Light was the best and the acting was always phenomenal. General Hospital makes another great casting move. Welcome Cynthia! And welcome back to Rebecca Budig, another GL star! Daytime viewers are missing out as GH should be pulling in more than 3 million viewers. Get rid of that awful lead-in show GMA Day. Bring back One Life! Or put one of those prime-time game shows before GH. And why hasn’t GH been renewed yet? Get with it ABC!
I’m not familiar with Cynthia as an actress, but she’s getting some good reviews here. What I do hope is they change her from a more scatter brained role. I did like her when she originally bought Crimson and took it over. It looked good on her. But she seems to have slipped since then. Don’t like what she’s done to Willow who I really like, and her dress at the Nurses Ball. And for the life of me I can’t see why Valentin is so obsessed with Nina. So I hope Jax isn’t either. Haven’t seen a good mate… Read more »
Rose, I agree with all you just said, and today watching Nina trying to persuade Ava to do her article for Crimson, I thought she’d make a good contortionist, and was thinking how glad that she’s leaving soon, but then remembered that she’s going to Y&R, and what a bitch she was as Phyllis. Boy, can’t win for losing, huh? At the end, when Nina told Jax about Ava, he did not look happy. Maybe I misread him. Something else bothering me lately. Not to be unkind, but does Maxie/Kirsten not look too good these days, or is it my… Read more »
Kirsten has certainly gone from painfully thin to , what now appears to be “bloated” . seriously folks this is with respect. I thought perhaps an overweight gain. there may be underlying issues as well ? no? what really triggered this was when she was working the Nurses’ Ball. hated the extensions.
Violet,…maybe it’s her hairdo? But “yes” not quite the same. I also wonder about Victor/Eric Braeden. And Y&R’s storyline about him now is not a good one, health wise?
I am looking forward to Cynthia bringing her energy, verbal tennis & lobbing the ball with her fellow actors. I’m home on sabbatical making time when I can to watch the fantastic 4 soaps through October. Wish all would edit, edit, edit their terribly large casts. Streamline the storytelling & distribute the wealth. Give you a shot GH…you have the goods, need to balance the Sonny/Carly airtime with rest of the town. I know mobsters have been apart of the serial storyline since it’s inception. Watching old clip of many soaps on YouTube, lately. Where is the heart? Who are… Read more »
Don’t know her work–but I know Ingo’s–and HE”S a great asset to GH. Love him!
Is Jax the owner of Aurora Media or not? Where does Nina get the right to tell him what or what not to do? I loved every minute of him telling Ava exactly what he thought of her murdering Connie and switching out Morgan’s meds. I also enjoyed Nina’s obvious discomfort watching him do it. I also liked Jordan using her detective skills to figure out how she actually got Ryan’s kidney. I just knew last week, that it must have been an awfully large canary, for those five to all have feathers hanging out of their mouths. I wonder… Read more »
Yeah, but I wished it was the other Nina, because I was used to her, but will see how this new actress plays the role.
All I can say is – boy is she wrong about the character of Jax. She must not have been watching GH too long for her to be able to say that. LOL He is the farthest thing from how she describes him..he is the total opposite of that.
