I know i make a boatload of grammatical errors. Which is why i'm constantly editing my posts. But that was cruel and shady.

Members P.J. Posted February 8, 2021 Members Share Posted February 8, 2021 This may be the first time I've read of anyone praising Van Hansis' acting. Straight or gay, I doubt Lily's child would have been interesting (a problem that plagued many soap children of iconic characters---all of Reva's children were dull as dishwater)...and no doubt the vanilla writing played a part, but to me, Hansis lacked depth. (and I thought a lot of Luke stories were about his victimhood. He was kidnapped by those weird twins to impregnate the girl with the Grimaldi heir, or whatever; Noah's father was going to kill him; Lucinda's closeted husband; Damian trying to send him to a "therapy camp" ) Granted, he ultimately wasn't raped like AMC's Bianca, but I suspect it was more because soaps don't deal with male rape, period, and giving Luke a child to raise would have been even more offensive to some viewers than him being gay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allmc2008 Posted February 8, 2021 Members Share Posted February 8, 2021 Call it a free English lesson. No reason to get hysterical. What is your native tongue, may I ask? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchBug82 Posted February 8, 2021 Members Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) Your post was perfectly understandable as it was. And truth be told I initially thought that punctuation was a choice for emphasis so I didn't realize English wasn't your first language. Ignore whatever that unnecessary response was. Your post was fine Please register in order to view this content Being victimized is a frequent trope of LGBT characters on soaps but it made sense of the son of *Lily* to have inherited the dude-in-distress genes. That said, while Van Hansis was never a mind-blowing actor or even charimastic the way Chandler Massey is, I thought he was solid and I never had any issue with his acting. Considering some of the planks of wood he has to act with, that's high praise. Edited February 8, 2021 by FrenchBug82 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vetsoapfan Posted February 8, 2021 Members Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) I must ask, is there a specific reason why unsolicited advice on grammar is suddenly necessary?

Members Khan Posted February 8, 2021 Members Share Posted February 8, 2021 Best of all, Eric Sheffer Stevens appeared to be WAY more comfortable "playing gay" than Jake Silbermann ever did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted February 8, 2021 Members Share Posted February 8, 2021 It does sound like we do indeed agree on the main points. It will be interesting to see how long these daytime soaps can hang in there with this type of provincial mindset. Seems as if they are barely hanging in there by a slender thread nowadays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 8, 2021 Members Share Posted February 8, 2021 To think Van Hansis got to make out with ESS. Lucky bastard Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted February 8, 2021 Members Share Posted February 8, 2021 If you ask me, ESS was the lucky one 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 8, 2021 Members Share Posted February 8, 2021 Gay Van....I found him attractive back in the day. But IMO of the two ESS is the better catch! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted February 8, 2021 Members Share Posted February 8, 2021 Ehh... I was a teenage boy at the time lol. But despite that, I was still able to see how bad the writing was. I hated that Luke was alone by the finale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 8, 2021 Members Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) Yeah we should've gotten a Reid and Luke ending. Goutman didn't give a damn. Edited February 8, 2021 by Soapsuds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria foxton Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) I favor EES. But wouldn't kick Van out of bed. It's testament to EES talent. That he managed to create an engaging character. With Jeannie Pissy's bad writing. Edited February 8, 2021 by victoria foxton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted February 8, 2021 Members Share Posted February 8, 2021 For me, there was just something about Van. Wasn't David Kreizman largely responsible for the creation of Reid and because of that, Jean didn't like the character? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
