Colin can't do depth anyway

I disagree. I think he proved during the Greg Madden storyline that he gave Josh depth. I think if they used the fall out from that story it would have branched Josh out more. Colin is a good actor for the most part IMO. I don't think he is bad in the slightest. I think most of it just comes down to the montonious writing along with the angry angry Josh they right all the time. Angry 24/7 does no good for any character or any actor.

But then, it could be argued that a good actor that can do depth will know how to make choices to change up the monotony. Even when Josh is supposedly caring about Babe or those lesser women... his sisters... he still seems to be snarling, angry, bitter about it. Instead of saying a line like "Babe, I just don't want you to get hurt", for example, with any tenderness or softness... he will just say it angrily as if he's chastising Babe for doing something he disapproves of.

He hasn't played this Bosh storyline with any compassion and romance. He's just been screaming and snippy and bitter, which gives me the impression that he's just obsessed with her -- and angry that he can't get what he wants. Not that he's deeply, truly in love with her. ;)

Sheesh. Even when MEK was given that awful dialog for months during his persecution of Dixie and Zach, he still played it to make me say, "There's GOT to be something else to this..."

With Colin, Josh is pretty much... shallow. I know what he wants -- Babe. I know why he's angry -- He can't have her. But do I see WHY he loves her? Do I see his eyes light up when she walks into the room? Do I hear him speak to her lovingly and tenderly like a person would do if he wanted the woman he loved to feel safe with him, rather than the other yelling overacting freak she's married to? That's why I believe that Colin can't do depth. He doesn't know how to make choices and change it up. Colin seems like he just says "Hmmm... Josh is angry and mad... so everything he says has to be angry and bitter and mad!" There's no vulnerability in Josh. Even when he was allegedly emotional over Josh Madden -- ANGER!

I'm bored with it already. Sheesh, even Jacob One Note Young knows how to rent another note and play that vulnerable, hurt little boy when things get too tough for JR.

Thank you for posting that. I think Josh is being written horribly but you know what this is Megan McTavish AMC and everyone is being written horribly. Tad tortured a man to death for petes sake but the good actors bring something to the story that can somehow make the writing palatable. CE has failed tremendously at that because he has shown no depth, no humanity, no compassion just anger. He reminds me of Cameron Mathison especially during the I am that Monster storyline, I've noticed he's even whisper shouting and pointing his finger like Cameron does. Josh "kidnapping" Babe while she was at that party scared that a serial killer would get to her was a move he must have learned from the Ryan Lavery handbook

Him snarking with Kendall should be good because AM is very good with the snark but CE just makes Josh so mean spirited so there is no balance as to to how snark should be delivered the right way. The right way being the way Greenlee and Kendall used to do it it back in the day. He's too green for what they threw at him and he's drowning in the mess they have given him. When he walks into those multiple actor scenes and starts screaming and you see the faces of the other actors I cringe for CE.

He's been given an awful lot of airtime with Babe, Bianca and Kendall and I don't buy that he cares for either Kendall or Bianca and I don't buy that he's in love with Babe. It's just too shallow for me to buy "their love".

ETA: I didn't love BE today. I've seen her do so much better on B&B. Run Bobbie, this show is destroying your acting skills. I thought her best moment was yesterday at the end. Today was too much and I didn't like it. AM was really good with thr Spike handoff but I thought everyone at the hospital other than BE was phoning it in. The actors just were not feeling the material IMO.

Don't EVEN GET ME STARTED on Del.

I thought I'd be SICK when he turned on that music so Amanda could cry at the mansion. (I will NOT say that name, guys, SORRY!!)

It was obvious he just did it to cue a montage. That was so pathetic! In real life, no one -- except for maybe a mentally unstable person -- would turn music on at THAT time. It was too much for me to suspend disbelief. Sorry, Frons, McTavish and Currutehrs (sp?)...on that front, you FAILED. MISERABLY.

Yes, Drew. They did. I'm shocked as much as you are. Of course, some fans (probably most of which post on SON) will rejoice, but a LOT of fans love Babe and can't get enough of this chick. I'm one of them.

And althogh I'm holding onto a hope in the back of my mind that somehow, some way, Babe is alive. Maybe it's all a setup...this isn't "Days." AMC is "traditional" in the sense that people don't get raised from the dead every other episode.

But don't worry. Just like my "Peacocks SUCK!" campaign, I have something planned for my signature line to say EXACTLY how I feel about this dumb move by another network.

Oh, please! You're just giving false hope to Babe fans out there -- which there are MANY, I'm sure.

We saw her dead.

The doctor confirmed it.

Granted, I would hope it's an evil twin or a double or a wax figure a la "Passions" when they faked Thersa's death...but that's really HER. And I am SICKENED to see it!

I think I mentioned this in a different AMC thread before. I think it's pretentious enough to the point of annoying that they always refer to "that house" as the "W" name. Yes, I know that's the name. But it's just SO pretentious.

It's like it you or I named our house and expected EVERYBODY to call it that name. Hey, Pine Charles, are you coming to Four Clovers today? Naturally, you'd think that was a restaurant. Sadly, it isn't. It's the name of my house! See what I mean?! And then, imagine EVERY day having to hear that name, over and over again.

Oh, it makes me so SICK!!

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
