Members KMan101 Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 LMAO at Gladys blowing her nose. Watros is doing great work as Nina's real/fake reality is crumbling around her and literally burning to the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 Cynthia Watros is the real f**king deal!!! If this had been Michelle Stafford, it would've been a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 LOL it would have been SUCH a mess with Stafford. Watros is just ... so damn good. The layers she adds to Nina just in her facial expressions alone ... the fear, the struggling to grasp her current reality, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 Holding it together, yet falling apart at the same time. Straddling two different realities: the actual reality and the one she created in Nixon Falls. Stellar. Outstanding. Casting GOLD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) OMG, it would have been tragic. Unwatchable. MS can be very good, even great (albeit not in years), but she doesn’t have that in her. Edited September 17, 2021 by Faulkner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 Oh, of course Stafford can act, but she simply just relies on others in her "work." Comparing her original work as Phyllis to her years as Nina or even her recent years as Phyllis, it is like two different types of acting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 No argument from me there. I’m just trying to imagine those crying scenes with Jax at the Tan-O with Stafford in the role. My insides are ripping to shreds just thinking about it.

Members FrenchBug82 Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 I try not to bring up Annie too often because I don't think it is fair to a talented actor*ress to be constantly brought back to one role but it is interesting that for all the predictions Nina would start being more Annie-like after the Nelle reveal, it turns out it is "deluding yourself into an alternate reality that you then have to watch crumble" Annie over psycho vengeful Annie that we got. A good choice too as the former is so much more interesting and CW does it so well. She brought it all on herself and yet looking at what she emotes on her face I really feel sorry for her.

Members j swift Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 For me, (and I don't know if this is attributed to the acting or the writing), but prior to Watros it was often difficult for me to differentiate Nina from Ava, as they are both bad girls who are trying to gain sympathy based on romantic pairing (gross over-generalization, but true to my experience as a casual viewer). However, I think Watros adds complexity to Nina by playing her loss, both in maturity and experience, over the years she spent in coma. She seems less unhinged and more damaged, which is really what made this story work for me. It was as if Nina saw a shared partner in Sonny because they both missed a part of their past, and she was desperate to create a new life for herself.
