I have to say I feel a little badly for Scott Clifton.  I never cared for him - there was a year at the Emmys when he was younger - and I think he was up for younger actor and that year Tom Pelphry won, and Scott looked kinda sour.  Which I didn't really understand because I think he had lost in the same category to someone on General Hospital before.  I don't remember totally but I didn't like him because a camera shot caught him looking sour.  I specifically also remember the guy who played Nikolas (Tyler Christopher) - same thing.  Sour lookin' when he lost.

But recently - a year or two ago - someone brought up to him in an interview the total overkill on Liam/Hope/Steffy, and who will end up with Liam? Who will he choose?  What will he do now that he's chosen (something like that).  And he said hopefully he uses tissues over the next year.    

And I thought - well he gets it.  He completely understands it's overkill and so now I feel badly for him.

On GH Clifton was a supporting cast member at best but on BB Bradley turned Clifton into a lead actor which imo was wrong. Neither he nor his character are lead material. 

Bradley did the same with Don Diamont.

Grace is so annoying and one-note. Cassandra Creech deserves better. The dialogue writers need to do better.

Both CC and Naomi Matsuda both play their roles with that overly theatrical, somewhat stiff style.

Ugh, watched a little today.  And that's enough.  LOL.  Was only a matter of time that Sheila knows the guard, knows the whole police force, knows the person driving her to another prison, had a baby with someone else (baby now an adult and appreciates her so much that they'll break her out of jail, out of the psych ward, etc. ).....and on and on.  Blah.  I may try to watch just to see the Quinn/Carter/Eric antics but Sheila is FF material.  I had even briefly enjoyed Li.  The writers will wreck anything for Sheila though.

Pelphrey? Yeah, Clifton didn't stand a prayer and I wasn't a Pelphrey fan. Well I mean, I guess he kind of grew on me several years later. I remember that sour look on Clifton's face though, lol! Yeah, I'd say just take a deep breath, take it all in, exhale slowly, and just find it honorable to have been nominated in the acting category.

    • Same here.  Anyone who voluntarily left Margo's penthouse set (except to go overseas or to Heaven) was immediately on my blacklist.  lol.

    • The penthouse was my favorite set... and it changed hands from Margo to Draper/April to Miles/Nicole then to just Miles... before he opted to give that beautiful place for that drab house with the even more drab Beth.  That was a jump the shark moment for me LOL
    • The storyline April and Draper are involved in during the summer/autumn of 1979 seems fairly "benign" but soon turns very serious.  April has a VERY intrusive, wealthy mother (Margo Huntington Dorn).  Margo knows that April and Draper (who've recently had a miscarriage and are theoretically never going to be able to conceive another baby) want to buy a house.  Margo hoodwinks them into buying a house they can't afford.  The house is listed at $100,000 (about $400,000 in today's dollars).  Margo pays the first $35,000 and leads Draper to believe the asking price of the house is $65,000 instead of $100,000.  If Draper finds out his meddling mother-in-law paid 1/3 of the cost of the home and tricked him, he'll be mad as hell.   Meanwhile, Draper has received a job offer from a prestigious New York law firm.  Margo pulls some strings and has the senior partner in the firm rescind the offer, to keep April in Monticello.  If Draper finds out about THAT, he'll be even angrier with Margo than he will be about the house trickery.  All of that is "bubbling under the surface" in the fall of 1979 but will be the next major story, as everything begins to spiral out of control.   Yep, you've got the Karrs and their very basic middle-class house, the Victorian-themed place where Miles and Nicole live, April and Draper's old craftsman house with the exposed beams, the Madisons & their Mission revival house, and Margo with her 1970s-chic penthouse.  Each of the sets is completely different.  And their budget was like zero, lol.  
    • It felt weird and out of place.  I get. While I agree with those on here that he's gotten better, it's still really bad. I'm not seeing the "good" acting some see...but I'll give him a B for being better than when he first started. There's potential. I'll leave it at that. 
    • It's like watching paint dry at a slow-ass pace. It's bad acting. Entirely. Excellent? With Claybon? Never. Ever.

    • Ah! Good to hear. Isn't it especially odd to think that house fictionally exists not far from the Karrs?  Or, that it was designed non-fictionally by the same person who designed April's place?
    • Good to know I'm not the only one who noticed that. Strange and awkward, and I don't know what they're doing with those fades.   -- Finally, had to laugh at how many Emmys this board passed out today.

    • Not unless they live in an apartment complex.

    • That was bad. Product placement is fine, but not here, not now. Besides, no one carries their damn detergent to the living room.   Completely and utterly disagree. I thought Brandon Claybon was excellent today -- maybe his best performance since the show started. No recast needed.   Not unpopular with me. That didn't work. The montage was good, but 5 minutes of Amazing Grace? With all those verses? No. What kind of family breaks into a loud version of Amazing Grace after what just happened??? None. Anita's lecture to Leslie was great. Ending the show -- a really good episode with crackling dialogue -- like that was a mistake.
