Blair: I have to somewhat reluctantly (cuz I'm not a big fan of her
overacting) give kudos to KdP for her pure emotion. It was so real, so
deep, so pure, so un-acted. I was uncharacteristically impressed with the
range she showed today.

I was too distracted by her pressing her nose against the glass so that it
looked big and ugly. For me, that is as bad as if she let snot drip from
her nose. Realism is one thing, but too much realism can mar the scene.

"Actually, I liked that KdP did that. Yeah, it made her look weird and
ugly,
but I liked that the actress could put aside thoughts about her own
appearance in order to make the scene more real."

Susan, I'm with you. This is what I've always LOVED about Kassie. She's
beautiful, obviously, but she's never shied away from letting herself
go as ugly as needed when BLAIR is having an emotional breakdown or is
fuming with anger or - as on Monday's ep. - she's just hollow and
drained. The truth is, in life, when we *really* cry we do become
emotionally and physically drained - literally, our sinuses let it all
out - and the fact that we saw Blair and Vangie going with it proved to
me that these are two of the finest actresses OLTL has had in the mix
in years. Excellent acting from both. I was riveted, which doesn't
often happen w/soaps (or TV).

And Dorian, who hates Todd but truly loves Starr, holding her young
niece outside - well, I do love to see Dorian when she's given a chance
to show that vixen or not, she *does* love her Kramer Women (and
Girls). She put her feelings aside to comfort Starr and it's those
moments when I just love to see Robin Strasser allowed to truly flesh
out Dorian.

Rex, yes. Adriana? Ehhh... Don't care for her. Rex deserves waaaaaay
better. I love his redemption from bad boy to good guy. Bring back
River for Ade and let them dork around together.
