[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 435787, member: 27"] Yes, this is why, when discussing Claudia's murder that they only say Michael was "saving Carly and Josslyn" rather than sharing the detail that Josslyn had just been born (like, the episode before). They also have to gloss over that Dante was the one who convinced Michael to confess because it torpedoes the timeline for Gio's conception/birth as well as Emma's, even Brook Lynn's since she was also born onscreen to adult Ned and Lois around the time they now say she was "off at camp with Dante and Cody". The only females I saw generating chemistry with Donnell Turner were generating "friendship chem"--Cynthia Watros and Genie Francis. But in both cases I think it's more the skill of those actresses than his skills as an actor. They rarely allow him time with Francis these days, and Curtis's interactions with Nina have been less friendly recently. He also gives me zero "parental vibes" with the actress playing Trina. I feel like DT keeps his job mainly because he seems like a "loyal soldier" to the producers who tries his best and causes no issues. In the hands of a more accomplished actor, the Curtis character could be a major leading man but instead he's just sort of...there. Then again maybe he saw what happens to the "leading man wannabes" who made a big splash (OG Brennan, Jagger Cates, Spencer Cassadine, etc.) and ended up being tossed out with the trash once certain other leading men began to feel threatened.
