Topic: I'm Tired of Skye Already

Additional Comments: OK, enough with the strutting around and the in-your-face obnoxiousness about being a *card shark*!  Big flippen deal.  Why must every new character enter the show loudly and with some personal schtick that they rant about constantly?  Skye appears to just be another Phyllis (the video game pro) without the cigar.  She likes hanging out with the guys thinks of herself as a force to be reckoned with...snore.  There was Chloe with her nazi-like barking of orders, Sabrina with her close-talking, too huggy, overpronunciating, French speaking butt....and now there's SKYE whose the bestest poker player ever!

I was really expecting some knockout of a woman to come on the scene and be a force to be reckoned with, so far she is just and ordinary girl that has an attitude much like Adams that is not impressive at all. Besides that, she looks like she has false teeth. Thats is strange for a woman her age. I'm not trying to sound mean about this girl, I just don't get her purpose.

How does she know David? And , why is she after him?

  • She's not 'after' David personally.... she's just figured out that he's a gambling addict, and she's set to hustle him. The rest of the players around the table have more control, and aren't willing to bet as much.

    ITA, and why must all these new characters (ChowDown, Adam, Jeffrey, Sabrina, Skye) ALL be so unlikeable?  Whatever happened to NICE people?  Well, we did get Karen, but Neil treats her like crap, so she might as well be a louse, too.  Must be Victor's influence over Genoa City.

  • Apparently, that's the new 'in' thing. All new characters must be nasty, sarcastic, demanding or just simply 'bigger than life'. Even Allistair is annoying and quirky. Whatever happened to subtle character-building? It's all so 'in your face'. Newbies are hard enough to get used to for some viewers without making them instantly unlikable.

    First impression:  not good!  This card shark thing is a little odd to me.

    I kind of like the actress playing her but I'm not mad about the character itself (which is the opposite of the way I feel about Adam). The whole poker bit seems awfully contrived and shoe-horned right now. She just happens to be this card shark, comes to GC to see Adam, lookin' for a little poker action, stumbles across Brad by coincidence on Day 1 and gets into his poker game? A guy she doesn't even know? Far fetched, to say the least.

    It would have made a lot more sense for her to have been an old friend of Brad's who he purposely brought to town to bring David down with.

  • Good Point! And who comes from NY to GC just to look for a little poker action?? Surely, they play poker in NY too, lol. Just kidding, I know she's here visiting Adam (supposedly)

    ITA!  I can't stand her already!  She just thinks she's all that.  At least Adam is more subtle about his *talents* and basically is polite to people.  This chick is so in-your-face and she thinks she's gorgeous (I don't think so at all) and so smart.  Why do we need her on the show?

    Skye strikes me as one cold-blooded gal.  Did you see the way she looked at David during the poker game?  Like a cobra getting ready to strike.  She appears to still be intimate with Adam yet doesn't seem to mind him having his eye on another woman.  What kills me about both Sabrina and Skye is that they're just oh-so accomplished at everything.  Skye apparently managed to become a topnotch gamemeister and still graduate at the top of her Harvard class.  Staggering.

    I have noticed that the women introduced in this soap and frankly even some night time shows, are always strutting around, in your face, tight jeans, lots of cleavage and just (lol) downright TOUGH. However, I do like the card playing Skye. I'm finding the card game fun to watch, and I'm curious to see just how hard she takes David down for lots of money.

  • I am liking Skye too! mm3
  • Me too. I think she's interesting. It's a nice change./Betty
  • I like her too...I want to see her bring down that sanctimonious Dog Chow.../flutelfy
