There was a little white woman tied up in a living room amongst black people. This show is a trainwreck.

[SFK]

Oh God yes, someone posted a couple of her tweets before, like she'd Kim Stanley'd the studio that day. That is really bold, setting yourself up like that, who is lying to you sweetie...

[DRW50]

I despise this character. After all the times he has run to his "real father", Tad, who has treated him like crap for a good portion of his adult life, he's now playing the biology card on Scott.

This whole thing about not being a blood relative = being worthless is something that is all over the soaps now and it always disgusts me.

She had a part on "White Collar" that required her to look like a model while walking across the roof of a NYC apartment.No acting required. She was perfect. The girl is as pretty as a picture and if she isn't a model she should be, but her acting isn't even good enough for soaps in 2009.

Love it!

Yeah, it was full of vets but still was a boring episode.

DV would be perfect for porn and as a gay man, I'd never have to see her again!

Zach & Kendall are so stupid that nothing surprises me anymore.

I feel the same way about JR. His comment to Scott about not being a real Chandler was dumb since he repeatedly tells Tad how much he considers him his father. As a legacy character, there is so much potential, but not when he's being written as a whining baby. I don't understand why the cancer story is so isolated from the rest of the canvas. I was expecting him to be involved in the inevitable Adam/Annie/Scott triangle, too. I suspect when someone figures out the truth about his illness (i.e., Annie), he'll be blackmailed into rejoining the family.

That's just it. She is a model. She's the stereotypical "model-slash-actress" you run into in NYC... and the kind Judy Blye Wilson loves to cast on this show. I bet... I bet there were at least three other actresses that were MUCH stronger than she was and sold the character much better than she did... but didn't have "the look." I guess "the look" in JBW and JHC's case is a girl who was raised in child services who grew up to be a gritty, tough, streetwalking hooker who continuously was beaten by her pimp -- with the looks of a porcelain doll. Casting Vasi in this role made the character incredibly unbelievable from day one. Not only because of her looks, but because of her bad acting.

The role and this particular model auditioning for it reeks of a cheesy scene in a TV show, where the resident model is going around for days before the audition telling her friends that "this is what I've been waiting for! A really gritty role I can sink my teeth into! People will take me seriously!" Because you know all gorgeous models-slash-actresses want to play roles like hookers and drug addicts to prove how serious they are as actors. Or as it's been in this woman's case: memorizing lines and reciting them in a monotone fashion in full makeup and hair.

How can the same woman who cast wooden Denise Vasi cast the talented Shannon Kane?

[R Sinclair]

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

[LeClerc]

Good news everyone: Denise Vasi tweeted that she has found herself an LA apartment!

[SFK]

"No actors allowed, talent negotiable, central hair conditioning..."

[R Sinclair]

Oh, good! Whew! I was worried there for a second!
