Members Vee Posted May 3, 2023 Members Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) Valentin consistently personifies the clinical term 'weenie.' I liked CM when he came on, but as we all have discussed that went south fast. The interminable scenes the last couple weeks with Curtis and Drew feel like that season of Dukes of Hazzard where they brought in fake shemp Duke cousins to replace the originals during a salary dispute. Here, DT and CM's stilted interplay feels like they are the poor replacements for some other far more dynamic interracial buddy cop duo that does not actually exist. Cameron is playing himself Selling It! to the camera on Access Hollywood at all times, while ex-stuntman Donnell Turner (who stopped acting on this show around 2017) is out to lunch and mentally building his vision pyramid for becoming the next Billy Blanks. It's pretty lousy that Laura got sent off to the ice floes with these three losers and not Dante and some other characters we could care about.

Members BetterForgotten Posted May 3, 2023 Members Share Posted May 3, 2023 Bless Jane Elliott for instantly making this show feel elevated when she appears. Constance Towers at least looks as fabulous as ever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted May 3, 2023 Members Share Posted May 3, 2023 She gets it and Tracy gets it. Most everyone else plays everything so damn earnestly, it's exhausting. Whereas Tracy is like: Please register in order to view this content Donnell is quietly plotting how to turn Curtis and Laura's Greenland Adventure (that's what he calls it in his journal) into a romance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 3, 2023 Members Share Posted May 3, 2023 Donnell will be out here astroturfing FB comment sections with burner accounts demanding 'more Curura/Laurtis.' It's been done before in this business! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted May 3, 2023 Members Share Posted May 3, 2023 You know, maybe it would have been better if they hadn’t dropped the original Valentin storyline in 2009 Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 3, 2023 Members Share Posted May 3, 2023 At this point I am convinced all Helena's gassing up of Valentin as 'the most dangerous Cassadine' was a red herring for someone much worse in the background. (And yes, I had a dumb idea of my own as always) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted May 4, 2023 Members Share Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) WAS Valentin scary when he first arrived? Did they try to make him threatening and realized Stuart couldn't pull it off so he's this sad elfin boy constantly on the verge of tears?

Members Vee Posted May 4, 2023 Members Share Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) No! He just had a mustache! He came on wearing a hoodie with a pornstache, threw Fake Nikolas out a window and we were all supposed to accept him hanging around having taken the Cassadine estate by force and through some skullduggery or something. That's around when I stopped watching full time for years. He was always deeply unintimidating to me. Then they tried to soften him up with Stafford's Nina and the mutant rape child.

Members ranger1rg Posted May 4, 2023 Members Share Posted May 4, 2023 I am STUNNED at how good Constance Towers looks. I really did not expect that at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted May 4, 2023 Members Share Posted May 4, 2023 Didn't Valentin first appear as a shipwrecked fisherman? SCARY... I do remember he took the entire island hostage though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted May 4, 2023 Members Share Posted May 4, 2023 Lord. It's hokey and stupid but this virus story is very watchable. And I love how it's effecting the whole canvas. Also the score is SO GOOD, it's almost like they put thought into having the music match the actions in the scene! No lukewarm drippy music playing in the last 10 seconds of every episode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 4, 2023 Members Share Posted May 4, 2023 Yes! It was all his dumbass cover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted May 4, 2023 Members Share Posted May 4, 2023 Ugh....and then he immediately had a one night stand with Nina after his Cassadine Island thing and was all swept up in their connection. He has always been so ridiculously non threatening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
