What did everyone think of Sami and Rafe's scenes on Tuesday?

It was nice to see them acting like a family with the kids. It was a nice change from seeing them acting like deranged hat wearers.

I was glad she mentioned missing Allie. It made the scene more believable. But let Lucas bring her back  |

@sg - I was thinking that too. Lucas should definitely be the one to bring Allie back. It would give him the perfect reason to return to Salem.

I know that many will disagree with me and that's fine, but I simply do not find Sami to be sexy and the love scenes look so forced. I honestly don't think that love scenes are the actress's strongsuit. However, I remember liking her with Lucas, but chances are I was only paying attention to him, and not to her. At any rate, Rafe and Sami's love scenes leave me cold.

I don't enjoy her love scenes neither jkjpatch. They are always so rushed and forced looking. But, since meeting Galen, I have a new love for Rafe. LOL
It was nice to see them in non-dramatic scenes. Just relaxing like a family should.

She doesn't seem natural in her love scenes. She always looks so uncomfortable. I think a lot of it probably has to do with her self proclaimed body issues.

It can't be that comfortable to be all fake-sexy in front of the entire crew. But if I were being fake-sexy with Galen (or Eric, or James, or Casey) I'm pretty sure I could make it work, AND make it look believeable. My husband might even get jealous. |

If you've ever watched the clip from you tube called anatomy of a love scene with Jay and Nadia, Nadia says that it's not a turn on at all unless you like a bunch of guys watching. So maybe that's part of Ali's issue. Some actors make it look smokin' hot while others are just not that into it. Maybe the fact that both her and Galen are married is a factor too.

But they are actors. This is what they are paid to do. It is their job to sell it, regardless of whether they are doing a love scene or shooting someone in the head.

I agree and if you are working on a soap love scenes are to be expected.

^^^I agree with that. IF they are on a soap they should be expecting it. That's what I remember about soaps. Romance, kissing, etc.

I honestly don't think that love scenes are the actress's strongsuit. However, I remember liking her with Lucas, but chances are I was only paying attention to him, and not to her. At any rate, Rafe and Sami's love scenes leave me cold. You may be shocked to hear this but I agree that Sami's love scenes with Rafe seem very forced.... and I will further agree that I don't think love scenes are Ali's forte either, with the one and only exception of her scenes with Bryan Dattilo. The ones with Brandon and Austin were also bad, maybe not quite as bad as the ones with Rafe but that's not saying much (oh and I do not count any scenes with EJ as "love" scenes, unless she's punching or shooting him, all of their scenes are bad). As someone quite taken with Bryan's/Lucas' appearance, I truly don't think the scenes with Lucas were better because his good looks were so distracting, I think it was a combination of the way their story was written and the long friendship between the actors. Lumi was always written with a lot of humor, even in their enemy days their dialogue was written with a lot of humor. That was true of their friendship also and so it naturally carried over into their story when they became more than friends. I think that is a lot of the reason that their scenes seemed so natural. Sex wasn't the main focus or the foundation of their relationship, it was a natural response to it and that is how their love scenes felt to the audience too - a natural fit. The other reason it worked better is that Ali and Bryan fit better as actors - their acting styles are more compatible with one another than Ali is with Galen or James.... and to a lesser degree with Matt Cedano or Austin Peck. And finally, I think it is partly due to the fact that Ali and Bryan have been friends for more than half their lives and Bryan's sense of humor helped Ali relax more in scenes that would have otherwise been uncomfortable for her. Even though I think Ali gets along well with her other co-workers, there is a big difference between being friendly co-workers and being friends. |

According to Alison, she and Galen are friends in their private lives and visit each others homes and go on family outings together and such...but of course, she hasn't known Galen nearly as long as she's known Bryan.......
And I admire Alison Sweeney for everything she does in her life but I've never thought of Sami as being that well acted....Sami's at her best when she's over the top and since Alison has been playing her since she was 16 years old, Alison is Sami and we have accepted it and Sami is who Alison has made her, over the top acting and all......it kind of reminds me of John Black, Drake didn't particularly act very well in that role, but we grew to love that very thing about John Black.........

@kazz - I never thought about it like that but I think you are right! Ali and Bryan have been friends for so long and he seems to have a great sense of humor and be a fun guy to hang out with. I'm sure that their friendship had a lot to do with their onscreen compatibility.
