Members Ponds Posted October 28, 2014 Members Share Posted October 28, 2014 I agree that Billy Miller is not playing Jason. If they wanted the actor so badly, give him a new character because he's not even trying to act like the Jason of old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted October 28, 2014 Members Share Posted October 28, 2014 Maybe the new brain injury has changed his personality again. I'm not invested in this version of Jason, but I think if they wanted Miller to play the old "stone cold" version, they would direct him that way.

Members BetterForgotten Posted October 28, 2014 Members Share Posted October 28, 2014 Not that Miller could even play that. He's still playing his interpretation of Billy Abbott as far as I can see. No range whatsoever with this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted October 28, 2014 Members Share Posted October 28, 2014 I don't mind the personality change, I liked Jason pre-brain injury back in his Keesha days. I grew tired of Jason Morgan around the time Robin had to give him 5th grade sex ed on HIV and condoms as they saw love making coming down the pike. I think the character could afford to lighten up a bit, if only for a little while. This show was consumed by darkness for enough years. Does KS smoke? He's breathing like it. I cringed when JZ said, "I'll keep this smile plastered on my face!" I hate it when actors do that thing where they try to talk naturalistically with food in their mouths: Franco and Maxie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted October 28, 2014 Members Share Posted October 28, 2014 It's really weird to think that Franco and Maxie had sex. Stranger than ever with RH in the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted October 28, 2014 Members Share Posted October 28, 2014 Miller as Stone Cold? Nope! Not seeing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted October 28, 2014 Members Share Posted October 28, 2014 These little brats are such terrible actors. The show think its so hip, cool, cute, and funny featuring them this way and it's not. It just digs away at any integrity the show might have (which is really none these days, but still...).

Members Soapsuds Posted October 28, 2014 Author Members Share Posted October 28, 2014 Billy Miller is playing Billy Miller just like Roger Howarth is playing Roger Howarth and Michelle Stafford is playing Phyliss 2.0 on GH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted October 28, 2014 Members Share Posted October 28, 2014 What's to play? Keeping an expressionless face and monotone voice doesn't take any skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted October 28, 2014 Members Share Posted October 28, 2014 That's what the character was written as though regardless of what Burton brought to the role. I would argue that Miller's chirpy chappy routine doesn't take any skill either, as he did the same thing at Y&R for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ponds Posted October 28, 2014 Members Share Posted October 28, 2014 I certainly won't buy into a new head injury causing Jason to become a standup comic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted October 28, 2014 Members Share Posted October 28, 2014 I never said you did, it was my opinion on his particular style of acting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 28, 2014 Members Share Posted October 28, 2014 Jason didn't act like this pre-brain injury either. It doesn't really matter, as he was hired to play himself, not a character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
