Members Cheap21 Posted November 16, 2015 Members Share Posted November 16, 2015 Negative on Reckell. I couldnt take his screaming in the park Can they recast Ciara by the time they do the Chase killed his mother reveal? I have a feeling he's going to go dark and I dont want this non-actress around for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members frequentsoapfan Posted November 17, 2015 Members Share Posted November 17, 2015 During the scenes in the park the other day all I could think was , "Why is the background music so damn loud!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted November 17, 2015 Administrator Share Posted November 17, 2015 Yeah, you rarely see scenes like that. Peter and Stephen are probably the only two male actors on the show you could do that with because there's a lot of history there. It was just a phenomenal, emotional scene. Agreed! A lot of great scenes with them today. Loved Bo alone in the park yelling at God - how he fought so hard to get back to his family, only to be taken away from them for good.

Members Khan Posted November 17, 2015 Members Share Posted November 17, 2015 Did he really curse the gods, as it were, while alone in the park? I don't know why certain writers feel the need to write such scenes. IMO, they hardly ever work. Somewhere along the way, TPTB at every soap decided the only way to play background music was loudly and constantly. God forbid any soap allow one scene to pass without SOME distracting music played at maximum level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted November 17, 2015 Members Share Posted November 17, 2015 The actress who plays Ciara is terrible. I'm already tired of giving her a chance. Who hires these people? God, she's bad. Paige bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members frequentsoapfan Posted November 17, 2015 Members Share Posted November 17, 2015 It felt like I was watching it on youtube where they had to put music over the scenes so it wouldn't get taken down because of copyright issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ReddFoxx Posted November 17, 2015 Members Share Posted November 17, 2015 I'm not sure why the writers thought it was a good idea to give Peter Reckell that sort of material, because it was not working. He's not a terrible actor, but he doesn't have the sort of range to pull off what he was given. Most of that I fast forwarded through, because it just isn't grabbing me.

Members Michael Posted November 17, 2015 Members Share Posted November 17, 2015 I think Reckell can be quite good -- he did some great work over the years, and before his 2012 departure, he'd settled into this surprisingly charismatic, easy rhythm with Bo. He has a real spark with Bo's family and friends, and he can find humor in more straightforward scenes. But I did not need to see him rolling around on the Astroturf howling at the skies like a wild animal. That sort of writing is so on-the-nose that I'm not sure many actors could sell it, and the staging made it insane. I did like the scene between him and Steve a lot -- until Bo just wandered out and left Steve there lying on the grass crying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted November 17, 2015 Members Share Posted November 17, 2015 Peter is a screamer, an unbearable one. Gonna celebrate Bozo's death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted November 17, 2015 Members Share Posted November 17, 2015 I thought Reckell was effective in some scenes. I'm LOLing at ya'll coming for him. He really isn't much different than he's ever been. He's not the absolute greatest but he sold it for me in a few scenes. The wailing on the ground and screaming at God? That actually moved me the least. Well, it moved my eyes to roll in the back of my head and it gave me visions of Justin Deas on Guiding Light screaming from the rooftop for episodes on end. And no that is not a compliment. Mary Beth Evans can CRY. Dang. She was SOBBING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
