Topic: Do you think ME and SH will have chemistry?

Additional Comments: I actually enjoyed John with NuMarty (CC) more than I've ever been able to stand him with any other co-star, so I'm wondering if he'll click with Susan Haskell? It's a big leap from romantic poet Patrick Thornhart to the king of inarticulate brooding!

No. John isn't smart enough for SH's Marty.

A couple of years ago, SH was on "Crossing Jordan" and she was terrific ... so I can believe she can handle any pairing ... but I agree, in part, the writing will have an important part in it!

I personally find John the MOST unappealing character on that show-including some of the low lifes. Anyone else notice how he has been in one fight after another-constantly sporting bruises and bloody lips! That's a guy who should sign up for temper management classes fast! Maybe that's where Cole gets his way of working things out with others. Hmmmm...

  • i have always despised John McBain. I wish he and Antonio would fall in love and move away forever.

    I'm not familiar with Susan Haskell; I was not watching OLTL when she was on years ago. I am, unfortunately, quite familiar with Michael Easton; he would not have chemistry with a bowl of dry, store-brand cornflakes.

  • ??? Is chemistry with cornflakes something an actor should want? //SqueezeMe

    I think Susan Haskell is one of those actresses that could have chemistry with just about anyone.  There's an actress on Y&R who is like that, Michelle Stafford - no matter how bad of an actor they usually are, whenever someone is in a scene with her, their acting improves drastically, and sparks fly.  So I have high hopes for Marty and John McBain.  I'm really psyched about Susan's return!

  • Hi Nina, I agree. Susan is very talented and did a good job as Marty.

    SH is such a strong actress that I believe she will pull out the best that ME can give.  But it all depends on how strong and spunky Marty is written.  If she's the damsel in distress that John needs to save, nothing will make the pairing work for me.  ME's John seems to do best against women who don't fawn all over him.  Give me that Marty and I'll be interested to see if their relationship works.

  • Gawd, Susan Haskell is indeed a very strong actress that stands on her own, not like CC who was more weak. I can't see SH with John at all, believe it or not, I could see her with Todd (ain't gonna happen) that is the type of actress that she was back when Marty was created, very strong willed. I hope they don't involve SH with John, keep him with Thalia or go back to whiny Natalie.
  • Tony, who can you see SH's Marty with of the men (not Todd) currently in Llanview? I can't think of anyone worthy of her Marty - and that includes John McBain. Oh, wait. I just thought of someone - DG's Kevin. Of course, Kevin isn't currently in Llanview - so the question I ask is could we be so lucky???? Wanda
  • Wanda you are absolutely right, I can't see Marty with any of the men in Llanview (except Todd I know ain't gonna happen LOL). Kevin would be a good choice, provided its the right Kevin. DG would be perfect for SH, I would really like that match. Wishful thinking I guess since Kevin is supposed to be involved with Kelly in London.
