Current Talk '03 I / The Ice B*tch and the Lovelorn Lad

Today's shows had more great scenes. I've always loved that little exchange between Willie and Liz in the Collinwood Foyer. Liz is at her iciest (I was surprised that Willie wasn't chipping frost off his face after he beat a hasty retreat). Karlen played Willie's reactions with such honest, beautiful realism. Between them, the actors created an amazing little gem out of what could have been just a standard scene.
I also loved the exchanges between Willie and Barnabas in episode #2. Even though their putative "great friendship" violates the established history between the two, the actors played the scene with a lot of depth. I've noticed that Karlen often brought out the best in Frid. He played his scenes today with beautiful skill and restraint, I thought.
I just love the moment when Willie is telling Barnabas how sorry he is to be deserting him in his hour of need, and he pouts up his lips in the cutest way, like a doting father turning down his favorite child's request for ice cream. So sweet. Karlen has the most wonderfully expressive face! Makes me want to send him a big splashy birthday card, thanking him for making my day again today.
Oh, and Grayson was FABULOUS, of course, but you already knew that.
I'm sure the TLATKLS brigade appreciated how charming Katie looked in her boudoir ensemble.
