My first thought upon seeing Tamara: Yay! She's here! 2nd thought: Can somebody get that girl a cheeseburger? I don't think she's eaten in weeks! 3rd thought: She looks (and is) older than Ari/Nicole. That doesn't make sense.
But already, she's better than Natalia.

Judging by the previews for May in SOD and on another thread here, the character looks to be changing. I hope it is for the better. I guess it can't get much worse.

Now that I've seen the whole epi, I've decided that Tamara is intentionally playing it low-key. It would be too much of a jolt if the character's personality changed overnight along with her face (little does she know that we would actually welcome it). So I think this is a transition phase for Taylor.
By the way, I loved the little crawl that said "The part of Taylor Walker is now being played by Tamara Braun." Hey Days, see how easy that was? No need for a B.S. face transplant story.

Her whole look today was Ava Vitali....not at all Taylor. She is not as pretty as Natalia but she is a better actress.... Let's hope they do change the storyline, maybe that will help!

I bet they still had Ava's wardrobe in storage, so they just pulled from that. Nevermind that Taylor probably wouldn't wear anything like that (especially the day after her mother's funeral), but whatever. We aren't supposed to notice silly details like that.

I am gonna give her a few weeks, but I am coming to the realization that it doesn't matter WHO plays Taylor, that it is the character that sucks. They have written her as a sniveling little twit. I am curious to see if she gets a backbone at all.

With the casting of NL, I could physically see a resemblance as Nicole's sister and why EJ would be attracted to her. With TB, I can't see how she and Nicole would be related, and I couldn't see how EJ would be attracted to her over Nikki.
That said, though, I think that Tamara brings more of an edgier Taylor, which I'm hoping for. I just wish they'd change her back to darker hair color b/c it emphasizes her natural beauty a lot more.

I was just so distracted by how skinny she is! Good gravy, she seriously needs to gain about 10 pounds. That said, I can she her with EJ. Of course, I think James could have chemistry with a wall, but I'd like to see them interact more to really test their connection.

It seems to me that the producers are at least trying to satisfy the viewers. They realized pretty early that Livingston was not scoring well among fans so they made a switch. Went with an Emmy winner. But as Tamara (aka Ava aka Taylor) sits there in the Dimera living room, I keep expecting nuJohn to walk in with a smart remark or two.
This whole storyline with Taylor and EJ feels like it's just a passing fancy and there's no reason to get invested. Even if they do end up having sex, I don't see them as a rooting couple or long-term anything (which is an oxymoron; at Days; no couple is long-term). Wish I could say I am interested to see where it goes, but I'm not. (I'm the one who voted "Don't Care.") The only reason I watch anything related to the Dimeras is because I like Nicole and I like Kate.

Trey, sometimes it seems like the producers use the disconnect factor. Like with Nathan. His character never connected, at least not for me. Maybe Dimbulb isn't meant to connect, but rather to help cement a more rootable pairing?
Just watched the show "live."
If EJ and OldTaylor's Chemistry Score was zero, I see minus 40 chemistry between EJ and nuTaylor. They shared a kiss at the end and it was blah. But it sure shocked Nicole who walked in just in time to spy it. (See also "If a Tree Falls in the Forest" thread. LOL.)

Perhaps, I don't know. But, it really is disheartening to watch a show you love and have such blah characters get so much air time. It's frustrating b/c it makes me want to tune out. It makes me grateful for my DVR and the FF button.

NO offense at all to Tamara, but I have to say Natalia Livingston was wayyyy prettier. But neither of these two are the love-at-first-site type of women. Why EJ would fall head over heels for this Taylor over Nicole makes no sense. Nicole/Arianne is much better looking. Isn't what this attraction is all about? LOOKS? Because it certainly isn't about falling in love because that person has such a great personality. Shoot. I bet EJ doesn't even know a darn thing about Taylor. Me: What is her favorite food, Elvis? EJ: Uhhhmmmm...... Me: What kind of movie makes her cry? EJ: Errrr...... Me: You fool. Foolished fool that ever fooled! Get the behind me, Satan. I mean EJ. ;D  |

You can lust someone, but even lust is strange here especially now with Tamara.. as we have both said, Natalia was much prettier..and it's not as if Nicole has said "No" to EJ previously. |

Today's show didn't do much to help me like her more. Still leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I can't wait for a new day in Salem so she can change that darn shirt!!!
