Members DRW50 Posted November 9, 2009 Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 I don't know if this should go in this thread or last week's but the contrast between Viki seeing the open grave and Jessica walking towards what will presumably be the rotting corpse of her husband was genuinely frightening. I was afraid they might just stick a wig on a skeleton or something, but to just not let us see it, just see her reaction, will be more effective. Also genuinely frightening... Aunt Corinne: Rex, don't let them arrest me! <Rex bugs his eyes> Rex, don't do this to me! <Rex bugs his eyes> I know who your father is! <Rex bugs his eyes> When did mugging that wouldn't even be allowed in Our Gang become the default mode for him?

Members oltl1 Posted November 9, 2009 Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 Agree on the final scene of Friday's show too. Some of the creepiest stuff I've seen on a soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AddictedToSoaps Posted November 9, 2009 Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 Damn, what they did to Jessica was pretty cruel. That was creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted November 9, 2009 Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 Yeah, this is pretty terrible with the rotting corpse and the wig. Disturbing. OMG, Gigi and Rex are SO annoying, and they are holding their awful own in separate scenes no less. Gigi drunk, there are just no words... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted November 9, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 I have to say that I think the stuff with Nash's rotting corpse is funny and awesome at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted November 9, 2009 Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 Oh please, if this was Bess she would put Nash in the car with her. It is quite creepy, I do think it would been slightly better if they avoided showing the corpse and simply showing BW/Jess's reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted November 9, 2009 Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 OMG...they should never do a close up of JPL's face when he's doing these mannerisms. Seriously, just a warning for those who are going to be watching 11/9 episode later on. FF's acting today is the equivalent of nails on chalkboard...no [!@#$%^&*] lie.

Members DRW50 Posted November 9, 2009 Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 So they showed the corpse today? I was hoping they wouldn't, that would leave more up to our imagination, which is more frightening. He's like that poor guy on American Idol a few years ago, the auditioner, with the bug eyes. At least that poor man had a condition. JPL's only condition seems to be be badactoritis. It gets worse and worse. Do the directors really think this is a good idea? Do they want people to be taken out of the scenes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted November 9, 2009 Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 Carl, it was pure Dark Shadows/Fright Night-type stuff, the zoom in and everything. Across the country, toddlers/future soap fans definitely got a lasting memory out of that one. JPL needs better direction, he is undermining this s/l with all of his schtick. Even Tuc knows when to reign it in. The thing is, JPL can be quite effective in his emotional moments, he needs to come over this hump as an actor, this insecurity in wanting to play it safe with the comedy (which oftentimes comes off worse than if he'd have actually tried to connect emotionally to the material).

Members alexisfan07 Posted November 9, 2009 Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 Agreed. As for Jessica, Bree knocked those scenes with Nash out of the park! I got CHILLS. And yea, why are Rex and Gigi on during such an epic episode? They're dragging it down hardcore MITCH. EPIC. WOW OLTL IS OFF THE HOOK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 9, 2009 Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 He says so much with his eyes. I'm still not entirely sure about where the character is going but he's done a wonderful job and I'm so glad they veered him into the more emotional scenes, where he excels at playing so many layers.

Members Scotty Posted November 9, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 I think he was referring to Roscoe Born (Mitch Laurence) with that comment. Either that or I'm confused too (which is entirely possible). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
