Joe/Nathan Forbes
« on: June 21, 2002, 06:52:21 AM »
I should be old enough to know better. I would have sworn that I was over that "bad boy" thing that most of us women have when we are younger. I guess I'm not.

Joe does nothing for me. It is hard to think of Joe as anything but a Ken doll. Nathan Forbes,  well, that is another story. I love his smirk, his swagger, the look in his eyes..... :-*

I can't get over what a difference the role makes for me. Obviously, Joel Crothers was a very handsome man. But the player Nathan wins out in the appealing category everytime. Even when Joe is being a jerk, it isn't the same.

Hello There!...I must agree with you.Joel Crothers is much more sexy as Nathan Forbes.Not to mention he looked really "swell" in his navy uniform.Joe is an ok guy, but he is the type that would allow a woman to walk all over him,and i am not into that.I like a man who can present some kind of challenge!Nathan was sinister,but sexy. :o

I just LOVED Nathan, he was bad, sexy and wicked, the kind of boy Mama warned us against, but once he looks at you, watch out, you're a goner and all Mama's advice is forgotten!

I can understand why Millicent fell for him.  He was a charming rogue, but once he wanted to murder her brother, he switched over to a much more evil man--but he STILL looked amazing in that uniform!

Love, Robin

I know what you mean Kuanyin.  Joel Crothers is definetely much more exiting as Nathan Forbes than he is at being Joe Haskell.  In yesterday's episode when Joe was holding Adam at gun point in the woods, I at first thought that he (Joe) reminded me of Lt. Forbes.  But when Adam overtook him, I quickly changed my mind as Lt.Forbes was way too cool to allow that sort of thing to happen to him. (well, almost anyway) ;)

Oh, sure....I loved guys like that when I was a teenaged girl myself.

Now that I HAVE a teenaged girl, I want all such good-looking, dangerous, sexy, bad boys to vanish from the face of the earth!!!!

Perspective is everything!  [lghy]

Yes, I hear you, too! Those bad boys sure have an appeal all their own.  Went thru that stage myself.

Joe/Nathan never appealed to me. Even in uniform! Bad boy Willie could have had me wrapped around his finger, tho, before he was bitten. After that, I just wanted to mother him and make his life better.

My daughter had a Marine for a boyfriend(Dress blues and all!)but he became too controlling so she gave him the heave-ho. Nice guy but...

Joel Crothers was one handsome guy.  I did like the charm of his Nathan.  As Joe he is one of the only really normal characters.  I have to say I could have gone for either of them.  I dated a couple of "bad boys" but also went for the down to earth good guys.  Luckily I picked the right one.

The Nathan is every parents nightmare when thinking of their daughters.  Joe is a parents dream of a future companion to their child. I think it says a lot for the man as an actor to be able to make two different characters so believable.  I also think it was smart of writers to  enable him to do that.  Two often they used the same actors to play similar characters.

It truly is sad that his time here was so short.

I'm not sure that it was ALL Joel Crothers, but as I've watched DS again for the first time since the original run, it occurs to me that the only soaps I ever watched were the three in which Joel Crothers appeared.

When I was 10, I thought he was super cool...

Still do, I guess.  :D

I like Joe much better. I understand the whole "bad boy"
attraction thing, but I'd rather have a good guy
(and I do have the best  ;D) any day of the week.

baaadddd booooyyyy,

yeah, but at least it was what you see/what you get.

Nowadays, a "good guy", him, I wouldn't trust (if he were as clean-cut as Joe Haskell....any cousin to Eddie?  ;) ).
