Members MarkH Posted August 28, 2008 Members Share Posted August 28, 2008 Well, I have to agree with you about Chris...a conclusion I drew after his "cry" after Victor's death. (Very dry eyed!). Except....it's hard to tell if this is acting or "layers". It is clear that Adam's ambitions have taken over...so maybe he meant to show us these were insincere crocodile tears. But the other thing is that Adam HIMSELF has used the word "compartmentalized"...and the actor (in a recent interview) said that Adam suppressed his emotions...and he feared Adam was going to develop a persoanlity disorder from all the repression. So, is it bad acting or a choice? Finally, the thing about Adam that is Victor-like, ironically, is the lack of much emotional variability in the normal range. Victor sort of alternates between "bemused", "neutral", "icy cold" and "raging furious". For Adam, so far, we see "icy cold" (not as chilling as Victor--more snarky and dispassionate, actually) and neutral. I'm wondering if he's trying to evoke "Victor", or if he's a limited actor. Time will tell. Joshua Morrow IS a limited actor. No question. But Nick became much more enjoyable when Nick became more like Joshua...basketball shorts, dude, in your face trash talk sometimes...and also the STALWART son during Victor's epilepsy. Morrow's portrayal from Cassie's death through Victor's epilepsy through Nick's return with amnesia made me a lifetime fan. Oh yeah, plus his SIZZLING affair with Phyllis. The writing has since weakened Nick...but no matter. Joshua won me for life in 2005-2007. His was one of the few characters to flourish and improve under LML's pen.

Members Greg's GL Posted August 28, 2008 Members Share Posted August 28, 2008 IA. Alot of new soap stars grow into being able to cry on cue, so I'm willing to overlook that for now. If he's still like that this time next year, I may change my tune. The CLBs of the world are the exception - not the rule. Good point. I guess we'll have to wait and see to determine where he's coming from. But now I'm wondering....when Hope died in Kansas, did we see CE's response? This was his mother, who raised him by herself. If he couldn't cry for that one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Manny Posted August 28, 2008 Members Share Posted August 28, 2008 I just LOVED it when Sharon took the phone away from Phyllis and then continued talking about Nick, like Phyllis didn't know him as well as her (which probably is true...) Bring back Shick, down with Phick!! :D Anytime Phyllis is not in a scene with Nick, she's great! Her scene with Chloe was really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted August 28, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 28, 2008 I could actually care less if it's Phick or Shick, I just want Phyllis to be who she is meant to be, not who she is with Nick. This just isn't Phyllis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Manny Posted August 28, 2008 Members Share Posted August 28, 2008 Yeah, that's one of the reasons why I want Shick back and Phick to be over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Manny Posted August 28, 2008 Members Share Posted August 28, 2008 Isn't it funny that Jack was a step dad to Nick and now he is a step dad to Nick's son? Oh AND he was a step dad to Nick's current step son! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted August 28, 2008 Members Share Posted August 28, 2008 It is. My mom brings it everytime she flips over to Y&R. But my mother has lost all soap credit with me. Supporting Daniel & Colleen. Just because she was a fan of Danny/Tracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Manny Posted August 28, 2008 Members Share Posted August 28, 2008 Eww, Daniel and Colleen suck.. LOL I love your Memphis avatar! It's so funny! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted August 28, 2008 Members Share Posted August 28, 2008 I know, right? But shes going of 80's *memories* because she watchs like 10 minutes every other month. And once i compared Amber to Lauren she was all about Amber. So maybe she can be saved.... Ha, thanx. memphis = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JackPeyton Posted August 28, 2008 Members Share Posted August 28, 2008 I can understand thast but.. Amber or Colleen? lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Manny Posted August 28, 2008 Members Share Posted August 28, 2008 And I can't take none? Well, if we are looking at a character as single, then Colleen (but played by someone else...) If we are looking at Daniel with either of them then... oh God, it's difficult... LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted August 28, 2008 Members Share Posted August 28, 2008 I am so team Daniel & Amber. They are such a soapy couple. I loved every scene around the rbeakup, esp him leaving post makeup sex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Manny Posted August 28, 2008 Members Share Posted August 28, 2008 I just hate Amber. I HATE her with passion. I want her gone. Or dead. Same way you want Sharon gone LOLOL I did like their break up scenes. I thought both actors were good, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
