The Vampire Diaries 30 day meme - Day 04
Day 04 - Your least favorite guest star
Courtney Ford (playing Vanessa Monroe)
Although I enjoyed the episode she was in Bad Moon Rising, I found her portrayal of Isobel's research assistant to be dull and unfeeling. I could be judging her a bit unfairly when compared to Ian, Nina, and Matt but she just came across "cardboard-like" to me (for want of a better term).
When Matt had her pinned to the wall, her response just seemed overdone but not effective. It must be hard to be a guest star on a show when the other actors have such a history (and an excellent standard of performances). She did improve in her ending scenes with Matt, being flirty.
That's it for today. Day 05 won't be posted until Sunday, as I'll be enjoying Christmas with my family. Seasons Greetings to all my fellow LJ posters.
