Members marlenafan Posted March 23, 2013 Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 This I disagree with. I don't think Shawn Christian is a good actor. Were we watching the same scenes when Daniel was supposed to be drunk? He was horrible and he just came across as more tired than inebriated. I look at Shawn Christian as an adequate actor as opposed to a good actor. However, he sometimes has spurts of good acting (like when he found out that Parker wasn't his) so he has potential. But I can name at least 10 male actors on this show with better acting skills and possess a lot more range than Shawn Christian. As far as I am concerned, Shawn Christian is a fitness model who acts. He is currently incapable of driving story as a lead character or even as a supporting character. But on a positive note, I think he is extremely sexy but sexy doesn't drive story unless its porn.

Members jfung79 Posted March 23, 2013 Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 It was used on ATWT. Kevin called Luke that. I actually wish the show hadn't gone there ... I feel like the show is starting to paint Nick too one-dimensional and bad. Laughed or agreed with a lot of your points (although knowing certain spoilers puts some of it in different perspective). I loved the glint on Kristen's ring too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SouthOfSoap Posted March 23, 2013 Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 On paper I agree with you, but the way Berris delivered the line, it seems there is a lot to unpack - the exact opposite of one dimensional and cartoony bad. The scorn in the delivery makes me believe there is a personal experience behind it, and the show has hinted at it alot. The show better play it through though, otherwise like you said, then it is one-dimensional and a major tease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SouthOfSoap Posted March 23, 2013 Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 I love your random thoughts posts every week! I do think Marlena will need to go back pre-1997 to get her backbone, she's been too needy and clingy for that albatross John for too long. I flove Marlena when she has nothing to do with John, I can't stand her when she is with John, or discussing John. I have felt this way ever since she re-united with him in the late 90s. Actually not only the character, but Deidre too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted March 24, 2013 Members Share Posted March 24, 2013 So do we know that Vargas did something to Nick in prison or is it speculation? (Sorry I watch only 2 or 3 times a week just to be as caught up as I can) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SouthOfSoap Posted March 24, 2013 Members Share Posted March 24, 2013 Just speculation from watching. I don't read spoilers anymore, so there may be something more but nothing on screen yet. We're about 99% sure Vargas did stab him though - just need it confirmed through a flashback or conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hsfolk Posted March 24, 2013 Members Share Posted March 24, 2013 I hope someone kills Nick and gets away with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marlenafan Posted March 24, 2013 Members Share Posted March 24, 2013 I hope not. Nick is a great antagonist in the baby story. Blake Berris does a phenomenal job portraying Nick. I'm not the biggest Nick fan, but I think the show needs him right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juppiter Posted March 24, 2013 Members Share Posted March 24, 2013 I agree. I don't need to ever see another lame soap murder mystery. Nick sticking around and stirring [!@#$%^&*] with everybody and everybody having to just deal with it is much better drama IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marlenafan Posted March 25, 2013 Members Share Posted March 25, 2013 Thanks for the kudos. I tend to agree with you regarding Deidre. She does her best work when she is NOT with Drake. Marlena is also more enjoyable when she is NOT in scenes with John. I'm not sure what happened but those two actors and characters used to be so much better as a unit back in the DAYS (pun intended). I'm still a Jarlena fan but not as how they are currently being written. If this horrible writing for them continues, I may have to return my Jarlena card.
