Chandler grinned throughout his scenes today with Maggie. Completely inappropriate. Just awful acting.

 

Freddie’s screaming scenes with Gabi were cringeworthy. He’s terrible.

[dragonflies]

Actually I thought Freddie was really good today in his scenes with Camila

[John]

I feel Chandler still plays Will has this insecure introvert like he did back in 2010

 

I saw his maggie scenes as Will being nervous & not wanting to say what she did but proding her to remember

 

I loved his scene with Vic. He was angry at him but I wouldnt buy for a second that Vic is gonna help Will get an earkly release

 

As for Freddie, I liked his anger as Sonny with Gabi as she wasnt thinking of Ari at all

 

At the same time, he should have dialed back the yelling and facial expressions a bit

Sonny's high-pitched confrontation voice is awful. Will nervous-smirking at Maggie was ten times more bearable, IMO.

[ranger1rg]

They’re both terrible.

[dragonflies]

 

[Antoyne]

God they absolutely should’ve been doing some sort of rehearsing.

[koos]

I didn't know anyone got rehearsals on this show.

   The comments are so funny and true.

I hope they at least took it upon themselves to run their scenes in their dressing rooms instead of sitting around playing on their phones.

Didn't feel like it lol. You can tell because they just aren't bothering to connect with the material. I can't say I blame them at times but at the same time ... rise above it and act your ass off. But they don't. I can see why they were both dumped, personally. I like Chandler as Will but it was time for a break.

a twitter thread conversation between like 10 (being generous?) people... truly sad. Soaps are legit on life support.

Exactly.  Look at Macdonald Carey and Frances Reid.  I doubt they enjoyed much of what the writers did with Tom and/or Alice, post-1970's.  Yet, even when Alice was helping Bo break out of jail with a batch of bad doughnuts, or Tom was penning poetry under the name "Norm De Plume," Carey and Reid were still professional enough to make the silly material work.

@KMan101 @Khan 100% It's their job! Think of how many actors would gladly trade places with them.  It's ludicrous - every single vet has had far worse or ridiculous material than WilSon. I know a lot people give RSW a lot of flack for his limitations, but I can tell he's engaged and trying. (And, he's had a lot of terrible scripts/stories.)

 

Forget the straight-to-tape nonsense, I've read plenty of interviews with soap actors discussing pre-tape run throughs in dressing rooms, etc. It's not like they get handed the script and tape five minutes later.
