DAYS: November 2013 Discussion Thread

Sleazy EJ has no room to throw Austin in Sami's face defending what his equally sleazy sister did to Eric, considering he raped Sami via blackmailing her with the life of the man she loved.

Then again, it hardly surprises me that EJ would defend his rapist sister.

Why don't you repost this in any and every PP thread while you're at it.

Silly question: How do they get a tear to roll off the face like that? Is it CGI'd in or some liquid used in between takes?

Some actors use glycerin. Other actors can just do that.

It's kind of funny to see that gif, because Jensen Ackles does that type of thing a lot.

KKL does too (not sure if she still does now - I rarely watch Brooke scenes since 2002 or so).

Or do you mean the tear just vanishes? That might be a lighting thing.

Thanks for answering! Yeah, I just meant how do they get such a perfect tear to form and roll down the face. I just googled glycerin, seems quite a common technique - it shows how little I know about production lol!

  • Member

A lot of the time it's glycerin, or tear sticks. Some actors can just do it - I don't know how. (my father still asks if Brooke cries out of just one eye).

Unless it was scripted for him to cry I'd kind of guess Vaughan did it himself.

That's not rape, as you so obviously expressed. It's some form of bargaining or at worst a kind of blackmail. Ultimately Sami gained something in their exchange and she complied to get something she wanted, hard to call that "rape" hard as the show might try.

Wow... really?

Would she have touched him in that moment if he wasn't REFUSING to help her save Lucas's life if she didn't have sex with him? No.

It was rape by coercion, which is still rape.

When I first heard Greg was going to DAYS, I fist-pumped and then thought "Oh, I hope they don't ask him to cry," (a reference to an infamous graveside scene on GH... bless his heart, he did his best, but... er... no).

Whether that was a real tear or was helped along by drops or glycerin, he totally sold it. Sure showed me.

Under California law, rape is an act of sexual intercourse against the will of the victim that can occur under a variety of circumstances, including when:

  • the victim is prevented from resisting due to alcohol or drug intoxication.
  • the assailant uses physical force or the threat of force to over-power and control the victim.
  • the victim fears that she or he or another will be injured if the victim does not submit.
  • the victim is at the time unconscious of the nature of the act, and this is known to the assailant.
  • the victim is incapable of giving legal consent due to a mental disorder or developmental or physical disability, and this is known or reasonably should be known to the assailant.
  • the act is accomplished by threatening to use the authority of a public official to incarcerate, arrest, or deport the victim or another person.
  • the assailant uses duress, such as a direct or implied threat of hardship or retribution, to coerce the victim.
  • the assailant uses force, fear, or threats to accomplish sexual intercourse against the will of the spouse. (This provision of the law is known as the "spousal rape law.")
