Jen Jacob may have been decent in other roles, but she lacks charisma and screen presence. That’s partly what makes her scenes tough to watch. Hoping she improves over time, but if she doesn’t, time to recast or write this character and her poorly acted boyfriend out! 

I feel like she will. She already came across better in Day 2. I felt she was giving and listening versus just saying off a lot of lines.

Andre’s parents died in a plane crash and he’s being raised by a plastic surgeon who does facial reconstruction surgeries? Michele, I’m onto you! #btg #beyondthegates

She just has boring/bland white girl screen presence and energy like Willow and Sasha on GH.

Oh I feel the exact opposite, re: Ashley Morgan.

I find her astonishingly boring. Frankly even the GH girls have more spark (especially since Willow began porking Drew). But I get why they didn't hire a major daytime vet, like Eden Riegel who I'd mentioned. Plus they seem to be going for a lot of new ATL talent. I just hope they recast (or dump both characters) unless she suddenly turns around and amazes me.

What is this supposed to mean? 

I think Jen Jacob will get better. I’d say there were plenty of actors that got better in episode 2 compared to the 1st episode, and Jen imo improved.

Ooooo that was vicious shade. lol. jk. I know what you mean.

 

I think, unlike those two, she is going to blossom. The fact she is a bland/boring character vs you can see her acting like she is a bland/boring character...as in see she's acting...I think she will be a dark horse once they attempt to give her something meaty.

IA. She does nothing for me and her scenes could be cut

Same. Because I didn't care for her in the first episode at all. But Episode 2, I felt she took a leap acting-wise though her character was still boring. And I guess it was down to the writing that I realized that I was invested...because who can't relate to starting a new job...one that you have really been working for, too. And in a hospital...I guess Grey's Anatomy, other medical shows, AND soaps have me trained...because we know drama will happen. It gave Ash some motivation to play with...which I felt JJ and the trainer did well. Mind you, I did like the trainer more. 

The biggest problem with Ashley is that her storyline feels so disconnected from the Duprees and that has been the main focus of the first two episodes. I do think she benefited in episode two being away from Derek who is their Charity Rahmer. I'm not willing to write her off just yet. I liked her chemistry with Andre and I do see some potential.

I do think overall that it feels like they didn't put a ton of effort into casting these white roles. I don't know if it was a desire to hire fresh non-daytime talent or what but I find it really hard to believe this is the best they could find. The only real standout on this front is Lauren Buglioli. The rest feel like they were the cheapest option available.

Can Martin and Smitty please have a bedroom? Why is Martin sleeping on his couch?

Dani been slapping and punching since Monday babyeeeee

So whenever Dani wears blue we can expect trouble... like in in Reva in red on GL? 😁

Steven Williford directing again.
