No Wonder...

Dishonorables this time.

First up, Cameron Mathison as Ryan on All My Children. As if the dialogue in the scene where he confronts David over his treatment of Greenlee wasn't bad enough, heavy breathing, bulging eyes, and ridiculous mannerisms send the torture screaming over the edge.

Moving on, the stumbling scenes after David's death. Cameron would have had to actually up his game to be bad. He wasn't even trying. Continuous stuttering, and the screwing up of lines made me want to rip my eyes out of my head, and plug my ears with cotton. Hideous! Everyone knows, I absolutely hate the character, and can't stand the actor. Even taking the usual putridness into account, these scenes were some of the worst I've ever seen.

Darnell Williams is up next as Jesse. To be fair, I think the problem was partially due to writing, but still. The scenes where he's being rude to Liza when she's trying to get information were terrible. What is it with bulging eyes? Thought his were going to pop from there sockets, and roll across the floor. Cartoonish facial expressions are unnecessary in any dramatic situation. For that matter, so is over-enunciating. I expect more from you, Darnell! Rise above the material!

This is the kind of shit that give soaps a bad name!
