Okay, I think I’ve figured it out. All of this slurping soup (kissing) is just something to use in place of actual dialogue when the writers can’t think of anything else to add to a scene.
just yesterday it came to mind how phony Sami’s laugh was. I’d never particularly noticed it before but it was so blatant yesterday.
I would probably be just like her if I were an actor. I do not (cannot) laugh out loud. I don’t know why but I can’t. So if the script called for me to laugh, it would be very forced and unbelievable. I wonder if there are a lot of others like me.
