Members DRW50 Posted January 23, 2011 Members Share Posted January 23, 2011 In the past it wasn't his main purpose, but today I can't think of anything else Clint does and since they always need a plot device, he fits that role at the expense of any character he ever was. I think the show sees Todd, John, Rex, and Bo as more of leading men. And possibly Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MontyB Posted January 23, 2011 Members Share Posted January 23, 2011 Please, no Fords. I do agree about the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted January 23, 2011 Members Share Posted January 23, 2011 Totally. But in the hands of a lesser actor Clint would be a real mess given the inconsistent writing/tone issues. It's to JVD's credit that Clint's still relatively intact & somewhat sympathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~bl~ Posted January 23, 2011 Members Share Posted January 23, 2011 In 2010, the two people chosen by OLTL to be pre-nominated in lead actor were RSW and JvD for their work in 2009. So I would not be surprised to see either on the ballot for 2010 in that category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted January 23, 2011 Members Share Posted January 23, 2011 I actually am a huge TSJ fan and love watching his scenes...I don't understand when people say he's notTodd because to be honest, I don't think Howarth and Trevor have had that much of the same writing for the character. I feel like he plays what he's supposed to and I find him hilarious. And when he's actually given something to do I find that he can and does deliver.

Members HeedTheMessenger2.0 Posted January 24, 2011 Members Share Posted January 24, 2011 I actually really like both Vimal and Rama- although at this point they're just being used to drive the storyline- it's good to see some diversity on the show. I like them both so I wouldn't mind them sticking around.. perhaps at the expense of Gigi, Nate, Ford? I like Cutter AND Aubrey and I think the scene with Jess/Nat was definitely a chemistry test for BOTH women... I guess we'll see how his character catches on, because I see him entering into someone's orbit soon besides just Kelly/Aubrey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted January 24, 2011 Members Share Posted January 24, 2011 How many Emmy's does JvD have anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MontyB Posted January 24, 2011 Members Share Posted January 24, 2011 I really like Vimal and Rama too. I think it would be nice if they hung around for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 24, 2011 Members Share Posted January 24, 2011 Thank you for clearing that up Toups. I was so confused. However that was my fault because I wasn't viewing every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~bl~ Posted January 24, 2011 Members Share Posted January 24, 2011 JvD has two supporting actor emmys from the 90s for GL--he won two years back to back 95 and 96. What is funny is Erika Slezak also won both of those years. I didn't mind Rama, but she's been on for less than a week. I don't hate Vimal, though diversity in Llanview of that way coming via England makes more sense than if they were natives of that part of PA.

Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 24, 2011 Members Share Posted January 24, 2011 I think JvD should definitely win for Best Actor. However, I'm sure he knows with all the prejudice in the whole system, he won't win that category. He'll probably submit best supporting actor, and I hope he wins. He's great. One of the best recasts of all time, IMO. I like Rama. She's very funny. Although for a minute I thought it was Lindsay Hartley, and I was confused and thought maybe I was watching All My Children. Vimal is a hoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 24, 2011 Members Share Posted January 24, 2011 With the material he has been given lately...yes he should but before that I thought JVD was an awful recast as Clint. I floved his scenes with KZ. Even though they were playing different characters it reminded me of the good old days of GL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted January 24, 2011 Members Share Posted January 24, 2011 I agree, for all of Clint's dirty deeds, JVD has tempered them with his understated choices and has not by any means sunk to moustache twirling. Honestly, for all the "damage" it appears that the writers are doing to the character, it's JVD who is saving the character's integrity (and his own employed ass) by the way he's handling Clint. He is still selling that Clint is "sick" per se, not too far gone or totally irredeemable. I still would buy him seeing the light and turning himself around in half an episode tops.

Members Scotty Posted January 24, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 24, 2011 Actually, she's only been in one episode so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted January 24, 2011 Members Share Posted January 24, 2011 For all of OLTL's issues with the writing for JVD he's sold me more on Clint's motivations than Bob Woods has Bo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
