I think Ari Zuker is absolutely beautiful – with or without make-up. I also think she’s a great actress and plays Nicole really well against EJ. I would love to see the two of them together down the road.
I thought James’ acting was the best he’s done as EJ, but…there were a couple of moments where it sounded like he was laughing and not groaning/writhing in pain.
The one place I disagree – the actor who plays Dario still hasn’t grown on me. While I do not want to see Brady with Melanie, I will not miss the actor/character of Dario.
One last thing….I know it’s a soap, but, why does every character HAVE to be paired up? Can’t any character fly solo for a while?
