Members Antoyne Posted March 14, 2018 Members Share Posted March 14, 2018 You also missed his awful daughter Melanie. Literally two characters that almost drove me away from the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sindacco Posted March 15, 2018 Members Share Posted March 15, 2018 I think there's a difference with Shawn and Galen. Shawn used to always over-act, while Galen is just blank. Someone here was right when they said his "acting" is the same now as it was 19 years ago when Passions started. And this is an unpopular opinion but I hate Eric Martsolf's Brady more than Daniel/SC. I find his acting so hammy and I hate how he plays so many scenes with contempt. I know it works for this current story but he has acted like that since 2010. I also really hate the writing and stories for Brady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Skylover Posted March 15, 2018 Author Members Share Posted March 15, 2018 OMG is Melanie the one who had that dialogue about eating Cornflakes for breakfast, as part of the most blatant product placement in a soap ever? I seem to remember how awful it was so vividly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 15, 2018 Members Share Posted March 15, 2018 Yep. That was she, along w/ Nathan, singing the praises of Cheerios. Even the Cheerios bee was facepalming throughout that [!@#$%^&*]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted March 15, 2018 Members Share Posted March 15, 2018 I literally had to look up who Nathan Horton was because he hasn't been mentioned since he left. I don't think I hated him, but I clearly didn't have a strong enough opinion to actually remember him by name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skylover Posted March 15, 2018 Author Members Share Posted March 15, 2018 I can't believe I'm linking to this because it's literally an insult to the acting profession but SERIOUSLY. I cringed so hard I was actually getting cringe pain. A soap has never made me feel in pain before. I'm glad I didn't try and start watching during that era as after that scene I would have straight away tuned out. The pair are awful. Please register in order to view this content I think I only recall it as it had a famous reputation for being so awful. ETA: They stuffed up their dialogue so bad their conversation didn't even make sense. I never thought I'd appreciate Claire. That bloke can't even act walking.

Members KMan101 Posted March 16, 2018 Members Share Posted March 16, 2018 I agree his acting is the same as Passions, 19 years ago. Lawd. So blank. I HAAAAAAATED Martsolf as Brady for years and years. Somehow I've come around to him. Started around the Kristen stuff. I don't think he's great but I think he has some decent moments, unlike Shawn and Galen. But YMMV, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted March 16, 2018 Members Share Posted March 16, 2018 I hated Eric as Ethan on Passions so I groaned when he took over Brady from Kyle Lowder who I actually liked, but he's grown on me. I liked Galen as the Rafe doppleganger and his flings with Kate and Carrie and friendship with Nicole. But his time with Sami and now with Hope...gah. He just doesn't have the warmth or skill to be a romantic leading man despite the show constantly trying to push him as one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sindacco Posted March 16, 2018 Members Share Posted March 16, 2018 I was okay with EM as Brady his first year on the show. Helped Marlena expose Charlotte, supported Nicole during the baby switch and got involved with Arianna. I wasn't a fan or anything but he was decent. But since summer 2010, when Brady found out about Nicole's secret bank account, had angry sex with her and started drinking, I've hated him. I hate how EM has played him ever since.

Members KMan101 Posted March 17, 2018 Members Share Posted March 17, 2018 +1 Those are also the times I haven't minded Rafe. Agreed on the last sentence. He just can't be a romantic leading man and the show needs to stop pushing him as one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted March 19, 2018 Members Share Posted March 19, 2018 Eric Martsolf is one of those soap vets whose not going anywhere unless the show pushes him out the door or gets cancelled altogether. At this point, I think the character could use a rest because his angry brooding schtick with his scheming woman du jour is tiresome. I would love for them to bring Kyle Lowder back and see how another revisit of Brady/Chloe would turn out. Plus, Brady needs to look *younger* than Eric and Sami, not the big brother of the Black/Evans/Brady kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted March 24, 2018 Members Share Posted March 24, 2018 I think Brady/Chloe should be where they go, not Brady/Eve as it feels super repetitive of Brady's recent history. It's not that interesting. Eve should be scheming to land Eric and bashing boring Jenny to him at every turn. JMO. Or Eve should have been angst for Justin/Adrienne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted March 24, 2018 Members Share Posted March 24, 2018 While I don't buy Kassie as Eve... I will admit that before she was written off the first time.. I liked her and Justin together... and figured a Justin/Adrienne/Eve triangle could have worked... just like Chloe and Lucas makes no sense whatsoever (plus I detected chemistry with her and Stefan).
