Members alwild Posted April 23, 2009 Members Share Posted April 23, 2009 I do give Steffy credit today for going off on Rick, but in a couple of weeks she's be running back to him and hurting Marcus again ...which I hate to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MarkH Posted April 24, 2009 Author Members Share Posted April 24, 2009 High-school-play grade line readings, nothing more. My goodness, her world should have been SHATTERED. Such betrayal from the man she loves! Instead, she spouts trite dialogue with a sense of mild irritation. I'll even give her credit for playing some of the "p!ssed off" note...but none of the "pain" note. (Which, I guess is good, because I'm still having PTSD from her morgue/balcony scenes after Phoebe died). Worst actress EVER on B&B. Worse than Phoebe. Worse than Caitlin. Worse than Jessica. Worst. Bar none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 24, 2009 Members Share Posted April 24, 2009 "Are you there, Phoebe? Can you feel me?" I swear, I thought I was watching Yentl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted April 24, 2009 Author Members Share Posted April 24, 2009 I was just saying -- and I'm not kidding -- "jump, jump, jump". I thought Ridge losing both daughters might have been interesting. Scratch that. He would have tried to sob more, and I could not have taken that.

Members Khan Posted April 24, 2009 Members Share Posted April 24, 2009 Initially, before we "got 'Sick'," my mother had posited an interesting idea: that Steffy, devastated by her twin sister's death, would assume Phoebe's identity as a way of keeping her alive, if only in her mind. It would've even explained her initial attraction to Rick, at the expense of her budding romance w/ Marcus. Sort of a twist on GL's Sonni/Solita saga, but without the WGA strike to make the story ridiculously convoluted. Damn. I wish my mother were writing for B&B.

Members baller Posted April 24, 2009 Members Share Posted April 24, 2009 god that would have been good. Ok as wrong as it all is I'm sitting here getting caught up (after a glass of wine) and this is pretty freaking fun. Straight telenovia type cheese but I'm enjoying myself.

Members y&r_fan Posted April 24, 2009 Members Share Posted April 24, 2009 :o :o I am shocked. Jacqueline MacInnes Wood is the best newcomer to B&B - scratch that, to DAYTIME - in... forever! As for that rooftop scene, I doubt even Meryl Streep could have made that work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bellcurve Posted April 24, 2009 Members Share Posted April 24, 2009 Thank you! I haven't seen the show this week, but an actress can't be blamed for the way the dialogue is written or for the way the script tells her to go with it.

Members sheilaforever Posted April 24, 2009 Members Share Posted April 24, 2009 Re: Jacqueline MacInnes Wood I really don't know - and admittedly haven't been watching in recent days but still had seen her TITANIC-protrayal at the Forrester mansion balcony - how to rate her. First she struck me as gold: strong and believable with the biggest plus her shocking resemblance to the pre-surgery Hunter Tylo. Then, she kind of let me down during Phoebe's death. But I couldn't put all the blame on her. IMO, she's the woman receiving the sh*ttiest writing ever on B&B. Next to Lesli Kay of course, who receives absolutely no material but makes it work. Steffy is written extremely poorly and this young actress has to make such ludicrous scenes - which cannot be desrcibed as campy anymore - somehow work. Working opposite Kyle Lowder is also far from graduating Lee Strasberg studio... In this case I'd probably side with Y&R-fan and be one of the few supporters because I think this woman has the acting chops to become really good. Kinda like Y&R's Emily O'Brien. Caught the Ridge vs. plane vs. gravity scenes and LOVED it. Unbelievable how this show can invest production costs, some clever camera-work and editing to make such a ludicracy a fun experience. Would they now use some better writing and consticency B&B might be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members baller Posted April 24, 2009 Members Share Posted April 24, 2009 I agree on all counts. She's good, and when given something she rocks it. She's also had months and months of crap for a storyline, and still manages to make it fun. I SOO agree on the plane watching last night was a freaking blast. It was insane, but damn if it wasn't just fun to watch. And it seems as if for a moment Steffy got her brains back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 24, 2009 Members Share Posted April 24, 2009 I honestly wish I saw what others see in B&B, because all I see is a show filled with ridiculous storylines and even worse acting (save for Susan Flannery and Alley Mills, of course). To think, I actually miss when Papa Bell was HW'ing the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
