General Musings

8 . 26 . 99


Ladies, you've hit the proverbial nail on the head. Beth was just sad. I sat there during each of her scenes (this is what sucks about watching in real time - no FF!), laughing and just repeating "pathetic, pathetic, pathetic." I just bet BC is relishing these acting stretches the writers are giving her - how much do you want to bet she's having a blast with them? If she only knew how ridiculous she looks and sounds. I just wanted to walk up to her, slap her and say, "SNAP OUT OF IT, WOMAN!". I mean, she makes it sound like she and Jim were the most tortured and romantic love story in the history of ever. They've been dating for what? A few months? Big whoop! Anyway.. I need to get away from that. Let's move on to happier subjects.

Ben - Man oh man am I gonna miss HB. I've always liked Ben, but today he was wonderful. I wasn't watching the whole Ben/Blake affair (from what I hear, it was stupid and out of character for Blake), but can I just say that I *love* the friendship vibe they had going on there? He adores her, I mean, that much is obvious. HB was right on today. (oh, look for EK's brastrap!)

Carmen - Ok, I'm not her biggest fan (or SS's), but I think she did a great job today. I think it has something to do with no mention of, "I'll get that Michelle and her little dog too!" anywhere. Even though I had to endure the scenes with P... oh, I can't even bring myself to say it... I enjoyed seeing a different side of Carmen. She seemed genuinely concerned for her daughter. Well done, SS! No overacting today! :) -I meant that in the nicest possible way-

Bill and P... ugh - Ok, only one thing and then I'll move on. Was I the only one with an extremely wide grin on their face when he slammed the door in her face? Woo Bill!

Olivia/Reva/Richard/Edmund - Actually liked it today. Wasn't bad. Ok, I'm sorry.. Olivia's dress was horrid. This is jmo (obviously), but they could've picked something a little more flattering - and that color? Ugh! Agree with you Krystal about the hair - not flattering! CC is such an exquisite woman, they did her no justice. Reva looked really beautiful in that white nightgown/thingie. And I actually liked her ball dress. It wasn't too flamboyant. It was a beautiful color and was fit nicely. Ok, but ditch the crown. We can only handle so much "praise Reva! The queen of everything!" for one day. Richard actually had me feeling bad for him today. I really do like the actor, I think he's great, but until now I never really cared about Richard. Brad Cole was very subtle and effective today. Eddy! Eddy! Gotta love the psychopath little prince! I absolutely adore DAM's portrayal - he just keeps getting better and better! I swear, if they don't bring him back to SF (rumor says yes), I'll personally... well, I'm not gonna revolt or anything, but I'll be thinking MEAN thoughts!

Cassie - Ok, I really felt bad for her early on. I mean, the feeling that if YOU screw up, your SISTER will die? I mean, that must really suck. I don't hate Cassie like some others do, but I do agree with you Krystal about the dress. It had potential, but she just couldn't pull it off.

Manny - The best for last. One scene. Grr. But can we say "awww"??? And gals, you were right, just the way that Danny says, "you're cute" just melted my little heart. JL looked fabu! Kept waiting for her to trip down the stairs, though.. that must've been slightly difficult. Notice how he couldn't tear his head away from her, ahem, chest area as he's walking toward her? Hello!

Michelle: (striking a pose, getting no response) "What? Nothing? At all? You're beautiful! You're gorgeous! Michelle, men would die for you! You take my breath away.. nothing at all?  Great, we're this old married couple already. Well, thanks."
Danny: "You're cute."
Michelle: "I'm cute?"
Danny: "Well, I was gonna tell you how beautiful you are, but you didn't give me a chance." (Can PAS sound any more Italian here?)
Michelle: "Ok, well then let's start over." (she strikes the same pose - how adorable - no wonder he's speechless!)
Danny: "You are, without a doubt, the most gorgeous, sexiest creature on earth. I worship you. You're gonna be the belle of the ball, I know it."
