I liked Reva, too, but as I've said before, no one at that show besides Pamela K. Long knew how to write for her or for KZ. You don't plunge a character who is OTT by design into circumstances that are equally (or more) OTT. The trick with a character like Reva Shayne Lewis is to keep the storylines as down-to-earth as possible and allow her emotions to be bigger. I've always said that both Reva and KZ were at their finest when they were dealing with relatively mundane things like Josh's paralysis, her marriage to H.B. and her pregnancy and subsequent miscarriage.
I agree! AE was just one of those performers who could draw you in, no matter what. I don't believe I ever saw her phone in any performance on any show. To me, she always gave 100%. God, how I miss seeing her on TV every day.
LOL! Yeah that makes sense, it seems like many soaps have that one character like this. I do find it sad the other vets just sit around in the later years.
WOW!!! Just amazing. Her acting was topnotch and this was only an audition. I was totally drawn into the scene! I seriously wanted to know what happens next!
Even if you put the rape and the fact he was married to her sister for so long, it's a bit hard for me to buy EJ/Belle have strong feelings for one another. They've known one another for years and years and there was never any indication they were attracted to each other until recently. Then the first time they hooked up EJ immediately dumped her, went on to marry Nicole and steal her own brother's baby, then slept with Gabi. I don't see any appeal for Belle here outside the obvious.
I do think MM and DF have nice chemistry though.
On a different note, what is on Belle's shirt? Are they people running, crawling, riding bikes, in wheelchairs, all of the above? The shirt is so distracting. Worn on TV wasn't much help as I still couldn't get a close up picture.
