I think MM does better in confrontational/emotional scenes than she does with happy/giggly stuff. Agreed.

Oh god lol.
Hehe....i guess you don't like this idea :lol: I think NB does better with more established actors. If she is the one who has to take the lead it's a massive mess of a performance.

I need Chloe with Brady. I think EM and NB have some good chemistry in their scenes. I could go for a Broe reunion. They need to rehab Brady's character anyway. Broe could help with that. :)

Quoting limited to 3 levels deepshe's very subdued.
I think MMs scenes with RSW showed she can break out of that mold given the right screen partner and writing.
Perhaps. I wasn't impressed with those scenes, but to each their own. The other problem with that assessment is that the writing for her isn't likely change as long as they keep Ron and Sheri, and I'm not convinced they'll ever give her another substantial screen partner who isn't Chad for any extended/permanent period of time. She didn’t really do much. Honestly, she was marginally better in throwing a punch at Ben/slapping Dario, but I also see that she gets so easily upheld for doing just a little bit more than usual and is not consistent.

I enjoyed Chabby with KM's version of Abby...they had way more chemistry than MM's version with BF does. IDK, there is just something really missing.
BF and KM had a story! MM and BF were stuck in an awful triangle with Gabi with Abby as interloper in her own marriage. Then Ron just put them back together without fixing them. Ben played a major role in Chabby 2.0's reunion story. The writing helped KM and BF. It's not there for version 3.0. A good chemistry couple can make me bear bad material, so I don't really attribute their dull appeal to the writing content. People's apathy (to me) seems to be caused more by what they lack aside from any bad writing. Namely, there's nothing there to hold onto to actually make you care in those less than perfect times- sparks, chemistry... nothing's really there for me.
To me they're only getting the grand couple treatment because they inherited it through the appeal that KM and BF generated together and not by actual organic merit. Their status bothers me because it really isn't backed up by anything for it to be deserved. If I was a cast member on the show who was actually generating heat with one of my co-stars, I would be frustrated at the fact that mediocrity gets rewarded over me.

Broe could help with that. :) Probably. But I need for them to wait for it because if Brady gets another "love of his life" (even if they were married before) in the next 3-4 months I'd scream LOL. It just looses any credibility.

Yeah Marci doesn't work at all, and it's not primarily motivated by her not working at all with BF's Chad as a power couple. Marci is the type of actress who could shine in artsy indie films that often pursue more subtle approaches to acting. But if you're going to insist on bringing that style to a genre that is about reaction and basically the opposite, you're going to stick out like a sore thumb and not in a good way.
Marci is

in a medium that is deeply tied to reactive tendencies:

Rock bottom drug addiction, living literally on the street...completely wasted out of his mind & not giving a F about anyone or anything. Then pull him out of that, throw him in off-screen rehab for a few months, and gradually bring him back & make him likeable again (granted, that may not be possible to some) and then about 6-12 months after that, give him some kind of love-interest. But no more "Love of my life" spewings from him. Let it be a very VERY slow burn* & if it's with Chloe, so be it. Barring that, screw it - let him be a single dad to Evan & loving life as a...whatever the hell his profession ends up being.

I understand what you are saying, but I'm willing to give her one more chance in hopes she gets better material. I agree, subdued acting is better in movies than a soap that requires something more outlandish for lack of a better word.

Have him be a bitter old man with lots of money and power who just wants to have things his own way the whole time.
Maybe after at least 8 Brady is a bastard storylines he can meet his Maggie and she can teach him how to peel potatoes.
Tate can hate him and spend his holidays with John and Marlena who can try to convince him that his dad wasn't always this way.

Give him the ol' Ebenezer Scrooge treatment where he dreams he has everything he wants, but no one gives a fuck about him & he wakes up from the dream/nightmare & changes his ways.
That'd be faster for sure! :blulaugh:

I don't know. I don't need soap actors to be over the top animative/emotional. I love subtlety but it doesn't mean I want to watch actors who seem to be almost asleep in their scenes - which MM and BF 90% of the time are. I was pretty ok with MM before they put her with BF. Of course, and the GIF examples show different extremes, but my overall point is that MM doesn't fall in a category that's animated enough for the genre.

The problem is that there is no one of the the younger group that is capable of that. I think Casey could be but there is no strong actress for him to play off of. SS isn't there, neither is CB. :-/
I like LAd and like Clipp, but they are more "sweet" than anything else.
CS is a strong actor too. FS is too hit and miss for me.

Broe could help with that. :) I agree...but I have a feeling, if LUMI is not getting back together soon, we might be seeing her in Lucas life. And Brady will want her too...which makes me think Brady will go at it with Lucas in the near future.....if :coffee:

I don't want Lumi to reunite since that will be pointless with AS/Sami leaving before Christmas. I love Lumi and I can't wait for their scenes, but I'd hate for BD to be in limbo until AS returns again.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep IDK, there is just something really missing.
I haven't been nearly as interested in Chabby for awhile now but I haven't dreaded them either. But during the wedding, it really hit me. This is the young hot couple..CHABBY for Christ's sake..and, I don't mean this as a dig to MBE but Marci was basically portraying all the moves of a 50 year old married woman with her husband of 25 years. Reminded me of Mary Beth Evans, which is SO not a bad thing per se, but it's not the young hot thing either. Marci seems lovely and she is great as Abigail at 52 years old but for what I'd asume Days is wanting, it's not exactly coming off so great.
It bugs that this is the young couple the show wants to really sink its teeth into because as someone who actually cares about the younger characters, I'm getting nothing from any of them. I couldn't be more bored by endless talks about being together for always, and love of my life and whatever corny and cliche words in their dialogue :shrug: :shrug: Interesting point. Those lines are kind of cheesy, but would probably work with a couple that actually had something. You can't just write that dialogue and expect it to work with a couple that isn't working. It would be almost as bad as having Rope say those things. And I don't necessarily think Chabby is as bad as Rope, but I think they are bad.
