Members te. Posted March 29, 2014 Members Share Posted March 29, 2014 You know what I don't remember about the Models Inc pilot? Jake growing a weird beard. Possibly the oddest thing about it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted April 23, 2014 Members Share Posted April 23, 2014 I'm a bit into episode three and I just realise how little this show makes sense. Why exactly is Hillary dating that cop again? I realise she saw his luxurious food in the grocery store in the last episode, but she thought he was stalking her! Edit: at the end of episode three right now - can a lone cop, who is also dating the suspect, just rush into someone's house claiming search warrant? THIS SHOW MAKES NO SENSE.

Members Mathewson Posted April 23, 2014 Members Share Posted April 23, 2014 Models Inc was too trashy and not in a good funny way. Linda Gray deserved better than this trash. Cassidy Rae? Brian Gaskill? Emma Samms? Cancellation, that's for sure! With those three non-actors as part of their cast, it was inevitable that Models Inc. would last for just a season.

Members Gray Bunny Posted April 23, 2014 Members Share Posted April 23, 2014 The same could've been said for Melrose Place, when you look at their 1st season line-up. Gaskill was written out in the same sense that Amy Locane was written off Melrose. I think they could've shaped up the show in season 2. Their big problem was that their supporting storylines were weak. On Melrose, you had the Amanda/Billy/Alison as the breakout story, but you had strong "B" stories with Jo & Jake, and Jane/Michael/Kimberly. On MODELS, aside from Monique/Adam/Grayson, there was nothing standing out of real interest. Kylie Travis as Julie could've been a break-out bitch of the series, but her romantic entanglements were blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mathewson Posted April 23, 2014 Members Share Posted April 23, 2014 Yes, Amy Locane was awful too. I never liked her at all. I was glad when she was written out in the first season of Melrose. I'm not surprised that she hasn't acted in recent years before ending up in prison. As much as I didn't care for Models Inc, it ended with too many cliffhangers. And I remember Carrie Anne Moss once saying that this soap taught her everything NOT to do as an actress!

Members te. Posted April 24, 2014 Members Share Posted April 24, 2014 Having recently (re)watched the first eight episodes, there's just too many non-characters. We're supposed to feel for Teresa Hill's character and her porn past, but the storyline seems so shoe-horned in and detached from the rest of the show. Heather Medway could've been a fun soap psycho, but again they just seem to force her into the episodes in a very strange way. We saw her drinking at the office twice - ooh? I barely remember what Cameron Daddo's character even is for. Why Stephanie Romanov is a part of the main cast I don't even get. I get that the producers liked her and brought her back, but in all honesty - if you're going to kill off a character in the first episode don't cast an actress which you obviously like. I don't remember Monique being very exciting as a character either. And I agree - Kylie Travis should've been the breakout star of the show, not Cassidy Rae. When Linda Gray went to prison for five minutes and Kylie Travis's character took over is showed untapped potential as having her either as Hilary's protege or having her character scheme to take over the firm. They really didn't need Emma Samms as some villianess. They had untapped potential right there waiting to break out. In a strange way it seems to have a lot of the same problems Paper Dolls had, another show about modelling. Too many characters and detached storylines.

Members Gray Bunny Posted April 28, 2014 Members Share Posted April 28, 2014 Monique pops up at the end of the first episode, right? I don't think they killed off Terri and then brought her back as Monique as a last-minute change. That was clearly the plan. Just not a very good plan. On the grand scheme of things, there didn't need to be a lookalike of a dead model. A different actress could've played Terri. Carrie Anne Moss' character was already a basket case regardless of her sister's doppelgänger appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Huntress Posted April 28, 2014 Members Share Posted April 28, 2014 No, Monique first appeared at the end of episode 8. Stephanie Romanov was featured in the opening credits throughout the whole series, though, since they showed flashbacks of Teri during the first 8 episodes. Strangely enough, nobody except Carrie was outraged by Monique's arrival and nobody ever questioned her real identity. They all seemed to happily accept that she was Teri's doppelgänger. That said, i liked SR as Monique and she was the most stable and relatable character on this show. (I have only watched the show dubbed in German so I cannot really judge SR's acting abilities.)

Members Gray Bunny Posted April 30, 2014 Members Share Posted April 30, 2014 Wow, I totally forgot that. Guess I should rewatch! I agree, she was one of the few relatable ladies. Teresa Hill... good grief, she seemed half-way decent surrounded by other subpar performers here, but on GL, her true talent, or lack thereof, was truly seen.

Members te. Posted May 1, 2014 Members Share Posted May 1, 2014 Teresa Hill became a designer or something post-"acting". Bless her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
