I already vented my thoughts about the baby switch earlier but I SO hope that you are right and marcie gives the baby to Starr. Plus with M&M leaving the
show this month, I can't see them taking hope and moving out of town with her and away from Starr. I agree BW has been superb with her grief over the
actions of losing the baby. I know last year when she lost nash some places bashed her for being too wailing and over the top but I felt she did those scenes
in a very realistic manner of losing a husband suddenly and having to take the time to say goodbye. It tugged on my heartstrings and it was more then being a
fan of nash/jessica, I think BW has come a long way.
My thoughts on the whole Matthew wheel-chair SL is (and I don't mean to offend anyone) but I just don't think Eddie Alderson is that good of an actor. I know he was in the Changeling with Angelina which I haven't seen but I really haven't been impressed with his performance in these SLs. Granted the writing hasn't been spot on but overall I don't think he's capable of rising above crappy writing or poor direction or I don't know what. His sister (starr) for the most part can pull if off when needed but I haven't seen any sparks with him as matthew. He comes across as very wooden, monotone and just bland. At times when matthew was acting like an ass to Destiny I felt he would do better at playing a villian (ala Jen Rappaport) then a "good guy". I've said it for ages but they need to SORAS matthew (recast) and bring him back as competition for Cole with Starr. Also doesn't help the fact I really can't stand the recasted Rachel. Pardon my french but she just comes across as a know-it-all %%%*% and I don't remember rachel being like that for the most part. And again, not much depth in the acting there.
I'm so mad they are pairing off schulyer with horrible stacy. I say that not because of the character but the actress! My god, talk about nails on a chalkboard. At times she makes Jessica Morris's Jen Rappaport look like Hamlet. Sorry, I know those are some cheap shots but I'm sick to death of some of the casting decisions they make. They have a really good actor in Scott Clifton (who seeing briefly on GH looked like another Rex-but what a wonderful breath of fresh air he is). And his character is interesting but they are putting him with wooden stacy? God. I know starr was "too young" but in a year or so that can be all out the window, plus they had that thing that starr has NEVER had with a male lead since that little guy travis, CHEMISTRY. No, no, can't bust up Llanview's Romeo & Juliet just yet. Barf.
