Members Khan Posted May 1, 2009 Members Share Posted May 1, 2009 Should we really take MJ's word on anything? She's lied already about being married, and I wouldn't be sure even about that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted May 1, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 1, 2009 Exactly. She could be scamming both Victor and Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members classicmoment Posted May 1, 2009 Members Share Posted May 1, 2009 They don't write the character well but I will admit Vail doesn't hit the potential complexity beats to playing the DA. She's robotic, she plays her unwound for what-ever reason but that's about it for humanizing her. I do agree if this was mostly what the actress was hired to do or if she realized it was her primary role on the show then she should if she could seize the opportunity but I just love her in every other instance as Heather.

Members MarkH Posted May 1, 2009 Members Share Posted May 1, 2009 Vail has the chops, or could grow. I really think she has shown us the two layers I wrote about earlier. The thing is, so far, it's all subtext. Which is fine, but some of you are wanting to see more explicit text addressing her duality--her defended outer self and her soft, fragile, afraid-to-love, prone-to-bad-choices inner self. Me, actually, I prefer the subtler approach. Before yesterday, when Jill EXPLICITLY addressed the source of her pain, it was just as clear to us, because Jess Walton played the pain so beautifully in all her lashing out. Bloom is not up to Walton's skills--not yet. But I'm much happier when they give it to us in subtext that in declarative text. MUCH. Then I feel like the writers are challenging me to thing, interpret, and actually WATCH for the non-verbals as well as the verbals. Otherwise, we wouldn't need the show...we could just survive on transcripts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 1, 2009 Members Share Posted May 1, 2009 I'm all about subtext, MarkH. Question is, though, is it actually there for Heather, and for VB's interpretation of the character; or are we attaching it to her to make up for a lack of it?

Members Cat Posted May 1, 2009 Members Share Posted May 1, 2009 Holy [!@#$%^&*]. 27 pages? What have you guys been talking about while I've been asleep?! Oh, man, there wasn't another fight about Y&R, was there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted May 1, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 1, 2009 I'm wondering the same thing... I'm kinda lazy to go over everything that has been said... more than 100 new posts after I woke up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted May 1, 2009 Members Share Posted May 1, 2009 I've had a quick scan and it looks like just a load of Y&R discussion. ::shocked:: Vail Bloom: Actress or MTA?

Members Cat Posted May 1, 2009 Members Share Posted May 1, 2009 MTA = Model Turned Actress. Think Cindy Crawford in Fair Game. On second thought, let's not. Personally, I think Bloom is more actress than model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted May 1, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 1, 2009 I believe she said it herself that she felt much better acting than modeling. Modeling was never her thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
