the show is lacking a male version of Bitchilary.
all the male characters are all wishy-washy with no substance at all.
=> Greasy-Dickolas
=> 40-Watt
=> nuJack
=> Neil
=> Michael
=> Dylan (well he is gone)
=> Billy
=> Cane
=> Kevin
=> Stitch

they are all wishy-washy............where are the alpha males? Like Adam 1.0 or 2.0?
with all those characters being that way...........the Bore-meter scale will always top an 8/10
I think the show is too concerned with making people likeable. I loved Billy as an alpha male but now he is also dulled down and wishy washy. :sleep:

They need a young hot alpha male not one that is 65+. I don't consider nuJack an alpha male even if they try to make him not take crap from anyone. He still looks stupid to me.

Yeah. Likeability often kills drama and characters' layers. I hate it.

nuJack is definitely NOT an alpha male.
we need an Adam 1.0 or 2.0 for that role.
they had Luca, but instead waste him on Dumber...........it isn't difficult to outsmart Dumber.
my goodness that was like taking candy from a baby.
what would have really dramatic would have been Luca trying to outsmart Bitchilary.
it would be like the movie "The War of the Roses" or even "Mr. & Mrs. Smith"

Aging Reed 5-6 years is one of the better SORAS jobs. Look at 40 year old Abby. And that clip of the REAL Victoria is one of the many reasons why I can never accept AH as Victoria.

It might just be the way AH plays scenes, but she comes across looking very pissed that she has to play the mother of a teen in her scenes with Reed.

Reed is going to GC High? He's a Newman! And a Hellstrom. The boy should be going to Walnut Grove Academy. Just like his parents did.

5-6 years? Wasn't he just a little kid not even in school yet when JT got custody? Now he's a sophmore. :shrug:

Her hairdresser still doesn't know how to cover the line between where the fake hair and her hair meet. lol
But she did look good from the front.

He said GC High had a good music program, so I'm just guessing why WG is out!

Did you notice she kept her arms crossed when she was talking to Reed? That's not the way a mother should/would act after getting her son back.

that's not going old school.
its because TPTB is saving money on electricity.
no hospital in this day and age have dark rooms. they are not developing photos
that a malpractice case waiting to happen.

It's actually a method Bill Bell was famous for incorporating into his shows. Dark sets with light on the characters in order to make them stand out more. Very effective actually. Not sure if today's episodes and those scenes were intentionally done this way, but I thought they looked great and added to the dramatics.

They will start singing soon, I guess. Reed, Christian's nanny. Maybe Billy, too :blulaugh: ?

I didn't mind the lighting in the hospital. It's realistic. But I notice the lighting for a lot of the other scenes are super dark. Sometimes I can barely see the actors.

They all look like they are after a hiatus in taping. Nikki looks like MTS has had some job done. GT almost has her natural haircolor back lol.
