Members Ann_SS Posted June 22, 2010 Members Share Posted June 22, 2010 It is evil Eve from Angel. She should definitely be Marissa. I don't know that the actress who currently plays Marissa has managed to keep that role. She must know someone at ABC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Clear Drama Posted June 22, 2010 Members Share Posted June 22, 2010 Me too. That should be interesting. That's RPG all in one. I can't wait till it causes her the marriage and everything. They should have recasted her. IDK if evil she can play, it's adding life into a character and she hasn't done it. Trent's ex. had more spunk in that 1 scene, SRSLY WHY SHOW! she could have been Marissa! It's simple they'll lie or Marissa will break that up and shower JR w/ guilt while Annie is guilted what she might be doing to Scott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 22, 2010 Members Share Posted June 22, 2010 I knew I knew her from somewhere, but I couldnt figure out where. IA, Id take her as Marissa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted June 22, 2010 Members Share Posted June 22, 2010 Ugh! This means I'll have to watch... even though I shut it off after the first act break. The way people have been so extreme about Meryl Streep -- I mean, Christina Bennett Lind's Bianca, I need to see this for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted June 22, 2010 Members Share Posted June 22, 2010 I thought CBL was great in this episode. She toned it down and her and La Lucci have a believeable daughter/mother relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted June 22, 2010 Members Share Posted June 22, 2010 That was it? That's what all of this raving is about? She appeared just as sugary sweet and sappy as Marissa pre-I Wanna Be Baaaad Like Dad! That face should've told me all I needed to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 22, 2010 Members Share Posted June 22, 2010 Did you watch season 5 of Angel? She was quite good in that and played a more devious and manipulative character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Clear Drama Posted June 22, 2010 Members Share Posted June 22, 2010 She was also in Cruel Intentions 2, but yes, she'd be a huge upgrade. Too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted June 22, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 22, 2010 She can be sugary sweet like how Marissa used to be, but she can also be a fierce biotch, like how Marissa is trying to be now to keep up with Annie. Brittany Allen is still falling short in that department. She still comes off as a boring, snarly potted plant. If Sarah Thomson was re cast in this role, I believe we would see a huge improvement in the character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted June 22, 2010 Members Share Posted June 22, 2010 She's doing okay. I'm not a recast-friendly viewer but she seems like a solid actress. Say it again. Bitch is a psychopath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted June 22, 2010 Members Share Posted June 22, 2010 Erica should've just let go of the company months ago. Playing dirty is playing dirty and they're both guilty -- except Fusion is Greenlee's company. Forget about it and move the hell on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted June 22, 2010 Members Share Posted June 22, 2010 But Erica's not doing it for herself, she's doing it for her DAUGHTER Kendall! And her other DAUGHTER Bianca! And her DAUGHTER'S DAUGHTER Miranda and her DAUGHTER'S DAUGHTER'S SISTER Gabrielle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted June 22, 2010 Members Share Posted June 22, 2010 LOL! The word, "grand..." will never pass through Erica's lips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted June 22, 2010 Members Share Posted June 22, 2010 marceline love, what's your deal with recasts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted June 22, 2010 Members Share Posted June 22, 2010 I just don't do them. When I like a character it's usually because I like that actor's portrayal and I tend to "imprint" on that version and if there's a recast, I always picture how "my " actor would do it. I don't do it to be mean or stubborn and I try not to hate on recasts but its very rare for me to grow to like a recast if I liked the original. For example, when I watched OLTL, not a day went by that I didn't wonder how Mia Korf would've played Blair. KDP has been in that role for 15(?) years and I still see her as a placeholder. Same with AM's Kendall. (Blasphemy, I know.) There's only been a handful of times I grew to really accept a recast. Think about it, other than soaps and James Bond movies what other medium regularly expects the audience to accept recasts? I like Eden Riegel but I completely understand her reasons for calling it a day with AMC so I have NOTHING against CBL. Like I said, she seems like a solid actress so far but she's not Bianca for me.
