Nikki & Adam would really fcuk with Victor's head.

I feel really excited for the new Adam because the actor seems so genuinely excited. His twitter is just full of him seeming very happy to be a part of the show.

he posted this on Thursday:

the new job is the likes of which i have never done...and i get to indulge in some interesting, perverse, warped scenarios...

What exactly is Adam going to do now? Cause I doubt this guy would openly call kissing another man as perverse.

That's what I don't get. Why would he be uncomfortable playing the darker sides of the character? Isn't that the kind of stuff that actors dream of? Most people would kill to play a character with so many facets and shadows. Did he honestly expect to fill the shoes of a soap opera character without having to act some unsavory things at some point?

Pretty much.

It's much harder to play a good character than a gray one.

Amelia should quit to go to rehab in a few months, so they can emergency recast with Tognoni. :lol:

I was going to say exactly the same thing.

I say yeah... yeah... yeah.

Touche!

He's taller.

A lotta Engen sympathy was because he's tiny like Wall-E.

Thanks Dee...you made me spit out my latte! LOL! I wish I knew all the info about what's-his-face before so i would have enjoyed seeing everyone treat him like an ass.

I think Sharon Case is a pretty laughable actress. I mean, she's not horrible but seeing her soap opera cry for the past 6 months has become too much. I thought Joshua Morrow was far better than her during Cassie's death, it didn't help that Sharon was barely shown grieving her daughter at the time (it was all about Nick's pain, which pissed me off). But yeah, she's slightly better than Katherine Kelly Lang to me.

Honestly I think JM and SC wouldn't be half as watchable if they didn't have Peter Bergman and Michelle Stafford to carry them. Not for a second do I believe Sharon loves Jack but I sure as hell believe Jack loves her. Pathetically so. Same with Nick and Phyllis, I believe Nick wants to [!@#$%^&*] her brains out but to love her? Yeah right.

I so disagree! SC has digged really deep and brought an intense, almost epic portrayal of a woman on the verge. When she was stealing random stuff, irrationally lashing out at Nick then the next moment leaning on him for support, she was electric and believeable. Even my roomate who hates soaps, saw her one day and was like - "what's she doing on a soap? She can act!" Of course ?I politely bitch-slapped her for the dig on soaps, but SC is doing brilliantly.

Did he honestly expect to fill the shoes of a soap opera character without having to act some unsavory things at some point? If it bothers him that much, he's really in the wrong business -- and like I said in another thread, if he still insists on being an actor, he should probably stick to auditioning for shows on the Disney Channel or Nickelodeon. He might even get a voiceover gig on Spongebob.

ESPECIALLY Adam. The son of VICTOR NEWMAN. You must have some clue there might be a dark side. And you must relish it.

I feel, in the beginning, Engen liked playing "snarky" at Newman Enterprises. But I guess that was as far as he was willing to go.

I'll take MS and PB's scene a few years ago where he found out about the Phlick affair over any of SC's handwringing. I think it's all pretty melodramatic, I keep waiting for the organ music.

I totally agree with the point that Sharon doesn't love Jack an IOTA. She clings to him as a provider...not necessarily of $$, but of stability, step-fathership, whatever. I remember when Sharon was falling apart in his arms a few weeks ago, PB said "I've never loved you more than I do at this moment." And then they f*cked.

PB's Jack is very, very sick...twisted...but in a wonderful way. He gets off on weak women. At least on weak Sharon. Interesting.

I agree with you, Cashton. Right now, I see Sharon, and I totally believe she is falling apart. She accomplishes this without histrionics, IMO, which I appreciate even more.

Really? I'll have to look more closely. I've really felt the absence of melodrama from her...but maybe I'm not looking close enough.

I'm pretty sure it's just Sharon because he desperately wanted to stay with Phyllis and she is far from weak (when not with Nick). I think having two weak-willed partners has made Jack and Phyllis come off as just sad.

Has an episode gone by without Sharon crying and looking like she wants to kill herself? I'm surprised she's able to dress herself in the morning.

To each his own baby! But she's upped her game so much this year. I wish MAB would write some more comedy for SC. Remember the Phyllis fantasy of Sharon with Nick? That was hillarious. And SC with Dru was so gold too.

Jack likes the crazy.

Well, PB is definitely pathetic with SC. No denying. I view it as "just desserts" for all the evil sh!t that dude has done the last few years.

No. But I thought that was good acting :lol: My mistake :)

I agree with you, except for the bolded part.

I mean, I thought both actresses did what they could with that. If they had had a few more years together, I think it would have been one of the best female friendships.

But they kind of put them together as an insta-friendship (borne of a shared hatred for Phyllis). I never really bought the foundation of their friendship. Still, both actresses were great together, and the loss of the friendship is another reason I'm sorry VR left.

I have always found it a missed opportunity that Sharon did not remain a confidante of Neil/Lily/Devon's...not taking Dru's place, but trying to be there for the family. Had they done that...organically...over years...I think something could have evolved between Neil and Sharon.

I'm sorry but the Winters should HATE Phyllis. There should be a rivalry there. If CK could do more, Lily should have some vendetta against Phyllis. Not that it was Phyllis's fault for Dru going off the cliff, but I just don't think that Lily should be doing photo shoots with Phyllis and stuff. There should be some subtext between these two women.
