Members Noel Posted October 14, 2022 Members Share Posted October 14, 2022 Yeah, I didn't know what that was he smashed. I thought John was aggravated and saw that a staff member was early decorating for the holidays. It looked like a miniature tree with little bow ornaments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted October 14, 2022 Members Share Posted October 14, 2022 I laugh, too -- it's the only way to get through his scenes LOL He's every soap stereotype...on steroids. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted October 14, 2022 Members Share Posted October 14, 2022 Drake doesn't bother me at all, but I swear he used to be a little better. Not good, but more restrained? Now he does whatever he wants lol. In the 80's and 90's he wasn't this OTT, but by 2000 all bets were off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted October 14, 2022 Members Share Posted October 14, 2022 I feel like Drake just needs something different to do. For example Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 14, 2022 Members Share Posted October 14, 2022 Even though I know what he's doing....I can't tell you how this could be interpreted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted October 14, 2022 Members Share Posted October 14, 2022 True. But John/Drake was so full of life in those scenes, and he pulled it off so well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted October 14, 2022 Members Share Posted October 14, 2022 And the line, "What is that in your hair?" with its reply, "Glitter," oh, I mean nothing can make me laugh that hard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted October 14, 2022 Members Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) Very true. Drake's only on a few days a month if you actually look at numbers and it must be fun to do something besides fight Orpheus and tell Marlena how much you love her all the time. John's scenes don't really have much variety, so it was nice to see something different for him.

Members dragonflies Posted October 14, 2022 Members Share Posted October 14, 2022 At least Drake tries and doesn't just phone it in 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted October 14, 2022 Members Share Posted October 14, 2022 Agreed. That's why he never bothers me. You know he wants to be on Days and he's trying to entertain us. And, honestly, he's just so likable it's hard to say anything that negative about him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted October 14, 2022 Members Share Posted October 14, 2022 But that's the thing for me. That's what has changed. It used to be easy for me to put him down. Now, nope, can't do it. Instead I laugh. Very odd phenomenon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AbcNbc247 Posted October 15, 2022 Members Share Posted October 15, 2022 Yeah. I think we talked about this in the Beyond Salem thread. It must get tiresome after a while acting in the same style in every episode. Giving Drake something different to do showed how good he could be. Steve Burton is probably in the same boat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted October 15, 2022 Members Share Posted October 15, 2022 I thought of that at the time. I'm not comfortable suddenly plopping SB down in same or similar. When he played Jason Quartermaine, the Golden Boy, he had a whole range of acting choices to play. If he didn't want to play Traumatic Brain Damaged Jason Morgan he could talk to them at GH, or he could've if he still worked there. I didn't even want him near the DOOL franchise. I resented his being in every other scene. He was my only real criticism of BS2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted October 15, 2022 Members Share Posted October 15, 2022 Because he was pretty much playing a Jason clone I really think if they had done something different with him, it would have been better 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
