David being David.?

David being David.?

David's just gone and proved that Carol was right to keep him at arm's length

I was really hoping that he'd changed...

(I still love watching him, anyway )

He's pretty charismatic, alright. I like his eyes. And Carol's continual throwing of cold water on him gave him the perfect excuse to misbehave with a woman who has been literally throwing herself at him. Personally, I can't stand the Carol character. She's always been so acidic and shrill. Couldnt' even manage much sympathy for her with her recent problems, I dislike the character that much.

Yes, she is hard to like, alright, but Lyndsey Coulson's acting keeps her just this side of likeable for me.

I don't think her recent behaviour gives David an excuse for being unfaithful, for several reasons:

1. He's known her all their lives and knew exactly what he was getting into this time around;

2. Her cancer entitles her to be miserable at the moment;

3. She's behaved coldly towards him because she mistrusts him - for very good reason as he's cheated on her time and time again.

Jeez and I think her acting recently especially with the cancer storyline has been woefully lacking. When they told her and she sat in the office blank faced with a tear trickling down the face there was nothing behind the eyes. All she could do was stare and have that tear trickle. A really talented actress conveys deep emotions with the eyes, she just doesn't have it.

I do agree there is no justification for his betrayal though. But she's a cold, brittle type on a good day so nothing new there.

I guess I interpreted that scene as her being shocked and numb, which is how I imagine I'd feel in that situation. I can understand why you don't like her acting, as she has a brittleness to her, but I find her one of the better actors in EE. I certainly prefer her to someone like Jessie Wallace, whose acting as Kat is much-lauded. I don't see that all, personally.

An effective actress can convey a shocked state but still the emotion is there behind the eyes. She hasn't got it. Jesse Wallace isn't anything to write home about either. Now, Joy Joyner could do it and so can Lacey Turner. Two soap actresses that can act.
