And I love how when Lucas got shot it was obviously in the shoulder (same exact place Liz got shot I think, I wonder if Nik will invite him to move into Wyndemere), yet everyone is all, "He got shot in the chest! Luckily the bullet missed his heart!" and now he's on a ventilator and unconscious... huh?!?

DEAD at the Nikolas comment. But lmao, yeah, I didn't even realize that. He looks pretty bad!

My favorite part of the whole episode was Bobbie strolling in flirt-brother-talking with Luke like Lucas sprained his ankle. Like what in the !@#$%^&*], your son was SHOT and looks to be near death! Show some emotion, woman!

Is there an unofficial law that requires gay couples on soaps to be utterly unappealing and/or tragically boring? I felt they had something really special with Lucas and Brad.

Marc Samuel needs to be fired. I dont care how that comes across but he has no talents and cannot make up for it with some sort ofsexual chemistry. I hate the actor, i despise the character and I loathe that Brad has to end up losing to such a worthless piece of crap like felix.

why do you hate the actor? is it because of the show decided to pair Lucas and Felix and not Lucas and Brad?

The problem w/ Mark Samuel is that he comes off asexual, almost afraid of being in scenes w/ other men. As a talk-to w/women, he's fine. The character needs to go. [see my siggy]

From the get go i have tried to look beyond what i saw as a very stereotypical portrayal becuz i liked the idea of not having an extra-butch straight acting gay character and was hoping that in time we would get to a deeper characterization.

But months went by with little to add to the stereotype and while i dont completly fault MS for that i feel that he is incapable to bring anything to the table beside playing the hey gurlfriend moments.

Now i definitely hate the character but not in a love to hate capacity which i d be fine with. I see little nuance in the way MS plays Felix. I see no depth and i feel that MS has failed miserably to make this charactermulti faceted.

However id be lying if i said that the IIC's decision to go with FeCas instead of Blu doesnt play a part in why I despise the character. But MS's iffy acting abilities makes me a non-fan (i hate the term hater)

What if Luke has DID

They said he's been doing this for years. For them to take the DID route, they would have to completely !@#$%^&*] with tons of established history and retcon till the cows come home.

Not that I put that past them.

The biggest problem with Marc Samuels from day 1 has been that he has anti-chemistry with literally every character he encounters.

  • Member

That too.

Hes basically the daytime answer to Katie Holmes

And he really seems unable to commit to portray a gay character beyond being the gay bff.

Not to mention that he never seems to play anything with more intensity than he would use for a reaction to a broken nail:

"OMG, Sabrina, you're pregnant?"

"OMG you baddie terrorist, stay away from me."

"OMG, this man next to me got, like, shot!"

Oh, the list is endless as to why he's horrible. I can't believe someone even asked that question. :lol:

Marc Samuel has anti-chemistry with everyone and he clearly can't believe what he's saying! It's pretty obvious onscreen. And his schtick is so annoying. GH is full of actors and characters that are unforgivable. I think the biggest problems, the absolute biggest problems, are Felix, Levi, and Spencer.

Katie Holmes is too wooden and I don't like her acting (the only thing I ever liked her in was the movie First Daughter and that was mostly because of gorgeous Marc Blucas) but compared to Marc Samuel, she's Cate Blanchett.

I think Marc Samuel is a lot more like a male Fran Drescher/Philece Sampler/Shannon Sturges/Yvonne Zima.
