Topic: I can't believe I'm saying this but John and Blair were fun today

Additional Comments: When Blair went into John's closet and pulled out black shirt after black shirt, I smiled.  When she found the Hawaiian shirt and promised John something in return if he put it on, I grinned.  When John threatened her with handcuffs, I was actually laughing.  These guys were cute today.  It's the first and only pairing I have liked John in.  Blair humanizes him; teases him instead of idolizing him.  I am not looking forward to John finding Marty because it will change the dynamic between Blair and him. He'll go back to Marty and be put back on a pedestal.

They were quite entertaining yesterday.  And she was right, he does have some of the most beautiful eyes on the planet. 

I remember when they were after the music box killer, and there were some location scenes, the light was really bright and his eyes were so beautiful.

He should wear some color sometimes!  I love black, but come on dude, every so often a change of pace is nice!

 I thought they were the best part of Monday's show. It was good to see John lighten up, and they're growing on me as a couple.

John did look funny in that shirt.  I was ROFL when Blair threatened to take a pic with her phone.

  • I liked that comment and John's comeback too. Wanda

    I have always liked these two and the easy chemistry they have.  They were good as friends and they also work as a no-strings attached couple.  Blair brings out a lighter side of him(who knew that he had a lighter side?).  I also think that John looks good with Blair because she is worldly and his equal and doesn't put him on a pedestal.  She teases him like other women never did.  I liked John with Evangeline in the beginning, but then Evageline lost her identity and got lost in John.  I know that will never happen with Blair.  But all that will change and he wil go back to tortured and brooding once he finds Marty.   I liked CC's Marty with John.  I don't know how Susan will work with him.  We will have to wait and see.

  • CC's Marty was okay with John, but I never liked how her Marty was written and portrayed as a continual victim. Not the actress's fault really. I imagine SH will have chemistry with ME. She's one of those actresses who has chemistry with everyone. She even made Suede and Dylan work, and with Dylan SH was doing all the work. Wanda

    Well the poor thing had to suffer through 'doing' half the babes in Llanview to find one he works with. The poor dear. If Blair wipes the pout off his face he will only have two more acting faces left! OMG!

  • I know. ME was beginning to contest with KdlR's record for the number of actresses fired because they didn't have chemistry with him. Maybe his pout will be replaced with a smile. It was yesterday. Wanda
  • Yes, and suprise suprise..he has a beautiful smile! L.A.

    i'm ok with it for now, but i eventually want Todd and Blair back together (as played out as they may be!).

    i was only able to semi-tolerate john when he was with evangeline, but before he started constantly rescuing natalie. they had a mature relationship, and they were fun together.

    well, we have yet to see SH's Marty interact with john, so who knows if she will put him on a pedestal......i can't see her doing it, but i guess you never know.

  • We also now have different writers in place so maybe this Marty will be feisty and not as adoring as before. John needs someone who will keep him on his toes. I never liked him with Evangeline, mainly because the writers had to trash R.J. (Evangeline accusing him of being a stalker as if R.J. Gannon would ever need to stalk anyone!) in order for John and Evangeline to happen. I always thought Evangeline was just a classier version of Natalie - both thought the sun rose and set with John and but up with a lot of ish from him. Wanda
  • I think we are in the minority on wanting Todd back with Blair, but thats what I want, too. Although I love seeing John and Blair having fun together.

    Um, not for me.  They do not work for me.  I suppose (and hate to admit cause I don't like Blair) that KDP did a good job, but I thought John was very unnatural and not believable as if he were p laying a part.  And I like John, though he's been tres apathy inducing for a looooong time now.

  • I get that John looks a bit unnatural having fun as he's Mr. Dark and Brooding. That's why I like him with Blair. She's making him lighten up a bit. Wanda

    Fun? Not sure-I still get the heeby geebies thinking about making out with Caleb.(JMcB)Yewwwww! Cassie is very good at her job.

  • I have never had a problem seeing Caleb when I look at John McBain. I thought Caleb was sexy and interesting; John has bored me to tears since TPTB decided to bring up Kaitlin. Wanda
  • Oh do I agree with you about Caleb. I wish John had his attitude & sexiness. He was cute yesterday...G
