Members Khan Posted May 21 Members Share Posted May 21 (edited) Adam Gregory (allegedly) didn't want to do kissing scenes, but he was okay portraying a reality show contestant who was accused of sexual assault on "L&O: SVU"? Sigh. My fellow Christians really can tire me out sometimes, lol. Again: you will not go to Hell if you are an actor and you so much as kiss someone on camera! If you're letting your faith dictate your acting career to that degree, then what are you even doing in the business?

Members Liberty City Posted May 21 Author Members Share Posted May 21 I didn't say it wasn't a soap... I'm just saying no actor should be made to do anything they're not comfortable doing. People getting butt-hurt over a female actor not performing a sex scene concern me. He sucked and couldn't act his way out of a paper bag.. Bradley Bell has a type. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 21 Members Share Posted May 21 (edited) For me, the problem isn't that she won't perform a sex scene. (And by the way, could we please stop making it sound as if we're begging JS and AS to do hardcore porn, lol?). It's that neither she nor her on-screen husband give us anything in the way of romance. Even a handshake is seemingly "off limits" to those two. Naturally, when it's THAT chaste, the lack of love scenes becomes all the more noticeable.

Members BetterForgotten Posted May 21 Members Share Posted May 21 If I’m perfectly honest, I don’t buy any of BLQ’s relationships on the show (romantic or not) and have never really felt she’s fit in that well. That would be my first reason why I wouldn’t be troubled by a recast, not necessarily because of her uncomfortableness with doing love scenes. Chase, I’d kill off in a heartbeat with the rest of his useless family. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted May 21 Members Share Posted May 21 Amen! Some people need to read this... Couple of times... To understand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted May 21 Members Share Posted May 21 Maxim, this remake comes off very passive-aggressive and I don’t think there’s any need for that in this chain. Not sure if that is your intention, but it comes off that way. I see a spirited discourse here where everyone has a valid point, and I don’t think anyone has been personally attacked just yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted May 21 Members Share Posted May 21 Can I also have a point or support one without being falsely accused of being passive aggressive? Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted May 21 Members Share Posted May 21 You can support someone all you want, no one is stopping you. To suggest multiple people lack comprehension skills and need to read something several times is another issue entirely. At the end of the day, it’s fine for us all to agree to disagree without implying something else entirely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted May 21 Members Share Posted May 21 Exactly! @BetterForgotten and no one saying AS and JS do soft core porn. Love scenes can be tasteful. Maybe something flesh colored to give the appearance of skin or something. There are work arounds Or better yet get a STAND IN for her if she's that uncomfortable 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted May 21 Members Share Posted May 21 This has gotten to be ridiculous. It has nothing at all to do with sexual harassment. That is an issue that can & should be remedied. All any of us is saying is that if you are not willing to pretend to have sex then you have no business being an actor. Most jobs do not require you to pretend this. Get another job! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted May 21 Members Share Posted May 21 No. This is something YOU read into it. Not what I meant. What I meant was... I myself sometimes read some things multiple times to understand the deeper meaning. You project negativity into my words and that is your issue. Not mine. Please don't drag me into a baseless argument. I have no time or energy for this. I haven't said anything bad or passive aggressive. When I read something I love, I can say that I support it and that I think people should read it multiple times to Understand. That's all. I don't understand what your issue is exactly, but you are overreacting. And I don't get why changing the subject to policing me about my tone and your perceived passive aggressiveness is useful in this topic. Can you move on? I really am in no mood for things like this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted May 21 Members Share Posted May 21 Well, all I can say it didn’t come off that way to me and I am entitled to voice that. It felt like a passive aggressive attack on multiple people who are having a discussion on this chain. That is my experience and it’s no less valid than your’s or anyone else’s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted May 21 Members Share Posted May 21 I'll be honest, @Maxim your comments are pretty disparaging towards people that disagree with your "take". We don't need to read a simple paragraph multiple times to understand. Anyhow, this talk about Chase/Brook Lynn is 1000 times more exciting then the actual couple is lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted May 21 Members Share Posted May 21 So is mine. I actually don't know who the multiple people are since a lot of them are in my ignore function. I am quoting and responding to what Liberty said. Let's move on, shall we? Not lose admins's time with stupid off topic rants? OK. I didn't realize me saying that some people may need to read something couple of times to understand the deeper meaning, meant in a positive way... Was going to trigger now... Near panic attacks and people in meltdowns. Calm down, girls. I was not even referring to anyone here. Actually. You took my words like I was talking about you, when I wasn't. I was talking about anyone Reading the forum and reading what Liberty said. I meant to say that what he wrote was Important to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 21 Members Share Posted May 21 It was no different when Steve refused to play a romantic lead for decades. No one is asking for Amanda Setton to disrobe in front of a packed set and grind down like some sort of Albert Alarr situation. Just to be able to dress like a young woman and play out some soap opera romantic scenes with her love interests. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
