Perhaps you're right, but he isn't the first character I've noticed doing this. Maybe it's just a pet peeve of mine. Kind of like when people answer, "What?" instead of "Yes?"

People actually answer, "Yes?" That's odd.

I actually use both... when my 4 year old niece says Auntie? I will answer Yes?... if my husband says Mrs Sleepy? I will say Yes? or What? depending on my mood at the time (towards him)

Now what my mom couldn't stand was the huh? when she called my name and I don't think I ever answer what? when she called my name.

Not at all! My dad is a "What?"-er but my mom was a firm "Yes?"-er and we got corrected every time we answered "What?" I think "Yes?" just has a nicer ring to it, not that I never answered "Yes?" with some 'tude.

I say "Yes" a lot of the time when people are calling me/asking/telling me to do something. I just think it's sounds nicer/softer than "What" does. Or if I don't say "Yes", I'll ask them what did they say or what did they need.

I think that "Yes" sounds nicer than "What" does. But one of the responses I dislike the most to when people are trying to clarify/ask something is when they go "I'm sorry?" (Usually with an attitude).

Like when you say something to a person and they don't understand what you said. And they go "I'm sorry?" I have noticed that a lot of the time when people say "I'm sorry" like that they say it in a rude tone. I don't care for when people do that.

Regarding Darren, I was okay with him telling Nate that his father was dead. Even though I think it might have been better if he hadn't beated around the bush as much as he did. I do think that "passed away" sounds softer, but I'm okay with someone saying a person has flat out died.

A lot of times when I hear that someone has "passed away", I think of people that have died of a disease or old age. I think that saying someone is dead or was killed, fits more with someone that has been murdered like Eddie, or someone who died in some type of accident.

Also I noticed often on soaps/tv people will say someone is "gone" when they die. And when I hear that to describe someone who has died, I usually think of someone who is presumed dead, without a body. (Like someone who was "killed" in a car accident or plane crash, but there body hasn't been found.)

Why does he look drunk in the hero shot.

It's a shot from New Years Eve 2008 and he was half in the bag.

I'd much rather see Echo making Gigi's life hell than some alcoholism story. Farah Fath works best when she's railing against some queen bitch as the underdog, IMO - and in short, controlled bursts, like what the Colonial Marines did in Aliens.

While I'd much rather watch a bitchy, scheming Echo to this pathetic, maudlin version, the less Gigi sightings the better in my book.

I actually like Todd's bumper, as I liked John's, but I thik Viki and Dorian deserve one before even one more cast member gets one.

I'm really annoyed how often that James bumper played while we lacked a Viki, Dorian and Todd bumper. It's about time Todd get a bumper now start addressing the other main stars!

To many Fords, to many people talking about Fords, a day to turn the channel.

horrible acting from James Ford

horrible acting from James Ford

is that any surprise?

And I'm now ready to admit that Lenny Platt is equally horrible.

I liked Todd's, too. I feel like they're hesitant to get Dorian and Viki's JUST right so they might be taking their sweet time.

I know...it's really telling when you look at the cast members who have new bumpers and the ones who don't.

Robuck has no business being in a dramatic scene. If they kept him out of those he would be tolerable.

The only Ford who could act is dead.

Did the show just use Eddie's Fords death as an excuse to get Destiny to forgive her notParents, and wrap up that storyline which we never see? Wow

Unless I heard wrong, she didnt say she was forgiving them.

Very true indeed Carl. Watching the scenes where James was shot, to the scenes at the gym where James was supposed to be conflicted over taking the gun, Robuck's acting has been laughable in dramatic scenes.

The script for the Natalie and Rex scenes today is very clunky today. "Nobody can break up Bo and Nora!" Close up of MA's face.

She didnt say anything. Darren left the scene asking how she would feel if her parents died and she didnt make up with them. Matthew came over and the scene changed. The seeds were definetly planted and they used Papa Ford's death to do it

Matthew and Destiny.

Lenny Platt must GO!

The Fords are constant lowered expectations. The idea is supposed to be they're so hot and sweet, who cares if they can act, if they aren't horrible, then let's praise them. But they really aren't hot or sweet or talented. If the show needed this type of role they could have cast a porn actor - some of them are more talented than the Ford brothers anyway.
