Well...another day, another clippy. Yay! Thanks to Juju.
Opens with a conversation between Powell and Kevin.....and Powell is overjoyed about Rebecca. Gag. Kevin teases him a bit about it. Todd is outside listening. And of course, they talk about the "nightmare" again. Powell gets congratulated on how great he's done since Spring Fling. Ugh.
Rebecca relates the "terrible dream" to Renee. "I haven't thought about Todd in weeks." *Rolls Eyes*
"I don't deserve this kind of happiness." Who does that sound like?
Can Sarah be any cuter? She's just so so so cute. I was really angry when they replaced her with Hayden, even though she's cute too, this Sarah is way better.
I love this length hair on Todd. He's so unbelievably gorgeous. Crap! The doorbell rings and ruins Todd's chance of seeing her again. At least he has not given up! Poor Todd! Foiled at every turn! Geesh! It's so much like a soap for this to keep happening! But it did keep us in suspense for what follows in a few clips. *snicker*
Rebecca, if I did not know better, has the nervous laugh of my cousin who used to laugh like that, and even did much more loudly, at her mother's funeral. UGH. The little stuffed bunny and Powell trying to make her laugh. If I were Todd, I'd want to beat Powell silly. He "makes her sides hurt." Uh, it's not THAT funny. This clip is just about how many times Todd's efforts to appear to Rebecca were thwarted by "regular life."
FAIL: I guess the relationship between Powell and Rebecca is exactly what it appears to be - fake. Stuffed, like the bunny, full of goody-goody pretense. I do love when Powell cracks up....but in comparison, her time with Todd seems like a slice of reality compared to this crap.
Sound off! Any commenters interested? Let me know - email ADMIN above.
Forgive me here...
ReplyDeleteDare I say this...
But this scene is one illustration of how many mediocre actors RH carried during his run. Everyone on the show is infinitely better in a scene with him, and believe me, that's no accident.
Not to say Reiko and Sean can't act...but, at least back then, they needed assistance. They were too green to do scenes by themselves like this. When RH is in the set, though...you have no choice but to react.
OLTL had the true pros--RH, Bob Woods, Hillary, Erika, and a few others (I'd throw Kirk's Kevin and JPW's Zach in that elite group), and then the ones who needed some help from co-stars to really nail it.
I don't put Zach in the elite group, but I do agree with almost everything you've said here. Roger makes a chair have chemistry, a bookshelf have attitude and a window have angst. Cannot wait for him to come back!
