Members KMan101 Posted January 16, 2016 Members Share Posted January 16, 2016 Yeah. I'm starting to give up on him showing promise. It was bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bright Eyes Posted January 16, 2016 Members Share Posted January 16, 2016 I have to disagree. I think he's adorable and precious and playing the stupid teenage boy in confused lust perfectly. I agree with everyone on football star Vivian Jovanni, but the rest of the teens have worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted January 16, 2016 Members Share Posted January 16, 2016 CAUGHT UP!!! And...I thought it was a good week with a nifty cliffhanger. And I'm with Bright Eyes. I thought JL did a good ugly cry over his confusion. But I thought he did good period. Definitely better than VJ. Speaking of the teens, I cannot for the life of me remember the bullying text story on Y&R. Was that the story with Jamie...the kid that got shipped off even though at the time he was the best of the teens? WHAT I LIKED It's very clear that JG loooooooooooooovessssssssss him sum Patch and Kayla. And because he cares (and the actors are great), I care. I actually like Chad/Abby having some moments of peace. And love the conflict between her and her family. AZ is just selling it as a in-mourning Nicole. I missed the last two major arcs for Chloe so I love seeing her again. Not going to lie. When Ava knocked Kayla out, I gasped and went THIS BITCA!!!! Say what you will, but Ava is moving some plot. That's for sure. But I like Ava. WHAT I DON'T LIKE You know...John/Marlena should have been part of Stefano's death. Makes no sense. I never thought I would say this...but after a nice good direction that felt natural for Hope...up until a little bit after Bo died...she now just seems directionless and it's not a good look on her. It's like the writers don't know what to do now...and as a result, everything with her and Rafe (ugh) feels forced, flat, and plot driven. That brings me to the pacing. While I liked it for the most part, I could sense those moments when something jarring would pop up that messed with the story flow (for example, the post-car accident stuff flowed into this week from last week seamlessly...then Hope storyline drops in like an avril. Or last week when the accident was going on and the kids or Hope storyline was dropped into that one episode).. Like John/Marlena being a little bit missing other than the accident. And then John's storyline about the search for his parentage popped in and its been so long since they touched on it, I forgot about it. The writers have proven they can balance all the storylines...knowing when to have one story be the A plot for that week while using a nice build for B plot while at the same time having a C plot simmer...so I wish they would do more of that .

Members frequentsoapfan Posted January 16, 2016 Members Share Posted January 16, 2016 Don' be blinded by his looks. He's the male version of Jovanni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted January 16, 2016 Author Members Share Posted January 16, 2016 I wouldn't go that far. He's doing okay bUt he does need help, I'm not totally blinded by Lastovic's looks. I got to say Keegan, Pettis and McClendon are are doing well in their roles. Jovanni, she needs.. I don't even know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted January 16, 2016 Members Share Posted January 16, 2016 Keegan, Pettis and McClendon seem like they are actually playing true teens just like Casey Moss, Kevin Riggin & Alison Paige did in 2013-2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Posted January 17, 2016 Members Share Posted January 17, 2016 I think Lastovic is doing well. He's a little stiff, but the material specific to his character works, and I buy him as a teen. I honestly feel bad for Joey in the midst of all this fuckery.

Members Bright Eyes Posted January 17, 2016 Members Share Posted January 17, 2016 Yes! I wasn't just superficially creaming at Lastovic's looks. I was talking about what he is wonderfully conveying. Sure he's a little green, but he works very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted January 17, 2016 Members Share Posted January 17, 2016 He said his lines the same stilted way Jovanni does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Posted January 17, 2016 Members Share Posted January 17, 2016 I honestly (and with all due respect) disagree. I find him miles better than her. Obviously it's a matter of perception and I won't argue over opinions, but I'm buying him, even if he is still green. Having Joey integrated into his parents' storyline, as opposed to floating off on his own, helps. I also think the material is giving JL a leg up -- it's a lot more natural for a green performer to tap into "I blindly have feelings for this person who doesn't return them" than "my father just returned from captivity and died of a brain tumor and my mother's new husband turned out to be psycho and now she's insane."

Members Taoboi Posted January 17, 2016 Members Share Posted January 17, 2016 And that's how the SORAS teen should be introduced...interacting with the parents before a story is developed. And that is what they did with Joey. I do not at all find myself cringing over his stuff much versus Jovanni...and I am at least hoping she impresses.

Members Cheap21 Posted January 17, 2016 Members Share Posted January 17, 2016 that's nice but his acting was terrible. A cute kid doesn't make for a decent actor. If that were the case, the role of Ciara would be in good hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted January 17, 2016 Members Share Posted January 17, 2016 His acting was just so cringe worthy last episode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
