I think it's just a way of saying that you'd otherwise be yelling but you'll talk very sweetly with a ton of intensity because there's a baby in the room. It comes off even more dramatic than yelling imo. Reminds me of some of the J&M scenes when they found out Belle was John's. When the baby was there, they'd all whisper. About major life-changing issues. |

Posted Image (not the best cap of KA, but the best one I could grab of her raised eyebrow.) Aiden sees Hope's single eyebrow, & raises to the double eyebrow. Posted Image Edited by Supergirlx2, Jan 24 2014, 12:07 AM.

Oh, I don't remember that. Darn. On a recent Castle episode where a baby is found at the crime scene, the medical examiner insists on holding the baby but goes over her autopsy findings in a sing song voice while facing the baby. |

Well yesterday Julie mentioned the Dimera maid was going to take the food from the parlor off the foyer back to the Dimansion for the potluck. I would have loved to have seen some of the Hortons face when they read after the christening they were headed over to the Dimansion. It's like leaving Heaven's Gate to hang out in the Devil's parking lot. |

I think EJ is looking a little worse for wear lately. He and Sami have been at each other since mid-November, he's trying to fix DE, then there's the "murder" cover-up, dealing with the coven, especially Gabi is wearing on him and Abby, Jenn, Stefano, who am I forgetting? JS by the way seems to look younger to me lately. There was a off-set pic with the twins that play Johnny last summer where he looked like he did when he started 8 yrs ago. And the video DH shot at Christmas was golden, with the t-shirt, tattoo and bed head. |

Ok... I think soap actors too often fall into over-the-top emotions (see: Suzanne Rogers). It takes real thinking about one's acting, and the talent behind it, to make a different choice. As for James Scott, unless it was the director telling him to (which would then be excellent direction), someone actually thought about the fact that if a baby were in the room, one wouldn't yell or even cry at a moment like that. Baby Arianna is old enough to sense others' emotions. So I think it was an excellent acting choice to do the scene with quiet intensity, and I think JS pulled it off perfectly. As for Kate Mansi, she definitely has the real tears in the eyes thing down (see: Ali Sweeney), and she's showing that after Abby's strong, intelligent deductions in the DiMera mansion, she's trying to keep her cool in light of the fact that he's telling her why he slept with her. You can see on her face that she's wondering if he's even telling the truth now, but she's hoping he is. To be able to convey that on one's face without any words, not to mention without any OTT emotions, is really excellent acting imo. |

Ok, I just skimmed through the discussion you're mentioning. I don't think it was creepy... maybe it's because I have a baby so I can relate to the idea of lowering your voice but knowing the baby doesn't understand a word you're saying anyway. They do react to the tone, though. But I totally agree the music cues were very weird in this episode. Also, and I'll just put this out there, I had to wonder if Abby standing there with a baby looking at EJ was foreshadowing in any way. Maybe, maybe not, but kudos to the director for at least putting the idea in our heads. |

The foreshadowing issue was discussed.When the promo came outt I predicted we would be dissecting each scene as to dialogue,facial expression,and body language and would disagree as to what is shown even though we all see the same episode and lo,it has come to pass. |
