Hall's OVO was good. I like KLS's beating on Adam to get him off of Willie - it made me laugh out loud. The scene is a little over the top for my taste and mostly because of Karlen but I've got to give him credit for going for the gusto. Ford was awful. Though what could one do with those asinine lines. Another great moment for me is when Mag's hits Adam with the hammer, lol. She actually hits him which I would think is not supposed to happen. I'm glad the scene ended when it did because KLS was beginning to lose her edge. A self-evaluating Adam is an interesting touch though perhaps misplaced, but the actor was there so why not I guess. Poor little Maggie Evans - Pop is dying - No one at home to protect her anymore from the big bad bogeymen. I guess there was no need for Joe to move in because of the forthcoming storyline, but I wonder if it would have been considered at some point. Probably not - at least not without a wedding.
I thought KLS did extremely well in the cottage scene with Karlen after returning from the hospital. Karlen was very good.
Thank goodness for Julia Hoffman - Solves dilemmas with her brain - All she needs are a few clues. Thank goodness Willie came back home, otherwise Barn would be dead. My favorite scene is the one with Julia & Willie in the Old House drawing room when they are discussing what to do about Adam, and to a lesser extent the basement scene. Karlen takes the scene in my opinion as Hall seems somewhat hesitant in her approach.
The cues were lacking, especially in Hall's scene with the ghost of the sobbing Josette. Hall can be seen waiting/looking for cues and the special effect was misplaced in the scene and did not match Hall's reactions. Even the sobbing sound effect was misplaced once or twice. Bad work all round. Rodan was fine. I would have been surprised that Adam attacked Sam back in the day. For some odd reason I am always expecting Adam to improve with time.
