Today's show with Luke, Damian, Lily, Noah, Meg, Dusty, Janet etc front and center just made me feel that this was their "B" player day in terms of acting.  The acting really stunk today all across the board. It drew too much of a comparison for me with what I would consider the "A" players, Carly, Henry, Jack, Craig, Parker, Margo, Tom, Emily, etc.  There was such a stark difference to me with the actors on today and the actors on other days.  Maybe it is just me but what do you guys think?

I thought Van was great! Very emotional at Noah's bedside. I thought he hit all the right beats.

Now if we want to talk about bad acting, that Parker brat is right up there. Definitely not an A list actor when all he does is scowl and make angry faces. And I definitely can do without Henry flapping endlessly.

I agree with the posts below about Van H.  I can't stand it when Luke gets whiny (or should that be "MORE WHINY").  As for Janet, I hate the character but I think Julie P. does a great job.  But today's show was really difficult to watch.  Between Janet's hypocrisy (and blaming Teri for everything short of the JFK assasination) and Luke's hysteria, it was a difficult 60 minutes.  Plus the whole epi-pen crap with Dusty was SO stupid.  If you have a life-threatening allergy, you need the epi-pen on you at all times....not in the night stand of your hotel room.  What an idiot.

Terrible, terrible acting today by Van.  Definitely n ot his best work.  He's not good with hysterics.  It was one of Jake's better days though, since he had no lines!  LOL.

Luke was so way over the top today.  I understand his concern but he was practically hysterical.

  • Thanks for the heads up. I will have the barf bucket front and center when I watch this episode. LOL SANDY B
  • In my mind, Luke is always over the top. He's such a nag and yeah, I felt he was very irresponsible in harrassing Noah while he was up on a ladder trying to set up fireworks. The incessant whining hurt my ears.. ht
