"You don't need to call me Mr. Snyder"

Jan 10, 2011 09:25

Welcome to the Luke/Reid rewatch! Our first episode is from January 19th, 2010. Luke and Reid speak over the phone for the first time, as Reid understandably tells Luke that no, he won't drop everything and fly to Oakdale to examine Noah. Well, we all know Luke Snyder doesn't take no for an answer, don't we ( Read more... )

"I'm just so desperate about Noah"

Oh Luke, that explains so much...

But still, way to go all Luciano Grimaldi on Reid. :D Perfectly executed indeed. And of course Noah's okay with it when it's for his benefit, but we already knew that.

"I don't like you"

Doesn't mean you don't think he's hot (even with bad hair). :p It still surprises me every time how nice and civil Reid is as a doctor, though. I don't think his bedside manner is bad at all, at least not when it involves his patients directly.

And completely unrelated question: Is it a Paolo or a Damian thing that he has such a strong accent? I just don't see a reason for a Maltese guy to have an accent when speaking English at all, but that might just be me.

(Btw, what's the deal with Maddie and that guy?)

Right? LOL!

Well, it seems to come and go. There's the times he's with Noah when he seems really professional, and then there was that female patient where he was like, "I've been waiting for a case just this dire to to make the risk of death worth it." And she was like, "And that's me???" all terrified, and Reid was like, "Yeah. How cool is that?" LOL! Oh, Reid. But, yeah, he can have very gentle bedside manner, too.

Ooh, right, I forgot about her. But come on, who can blame him for getting excited at the prospect of that surgery? :D
I've mostly been rewatching the stuff surrounding Noah's surgery, and Reid's more than professional there. Up until "that's official", anyway. I mean, he even tried to get them back together, for god's sake...

That is a good question. I think it is Paolo, but now I'm curious what kind of accent the Maltese speak English with. I'd think it would be more of an English-ish accent more than an American one, though.I'm starting to think it's him, too. It's just that the handful Maltese people I've talked to didn't ( ... )

It's definitely Paolo, since he's from Italy. I looked it up once, and Malta does have a portion of Italian-speakers, so I guess that's the wank the writers used. Not that the average viewer (including me) has any idea what Maltese or a Maltese accent sounds like! Italian was sufficiently European. :)

Re: \o/ g_and_honey January 10 2011, 17:56:03 UTC

I have no clue about what kind of accent the Maltese speak with, but Paolo is Italian. That's why he has such a strong accent. :-) I also believe he speaks French as well as Italian and English, but I could be mistaken. So maybe his accents are just all over the place! :-P

Yes, and what happened to Hunter? Did he leave Oakdale?

I love rewatching these clips with people who have an appreciation of the brilliant couple that is LuRe! Noah...he is a douche. He can't help himself!

Re: \o/ bigboobedcanuck January 10 2011, 19:25:11 UTC

Hunter just disappeared without a trace, as far as I know. Emily never mentioned him at the end, that much I know. Maddie did at least get mentioned in a line from Noah about how she had to go back to Wesleyan.

Yes, rewatch and discussion is super fun! We're off to a great start. :D

Re: \o/ nancygrew January 11 2011, 23:39:13 UTC

IIRC, Hunter was mentioned once near the end. When Emily disappeared, I believe Paul mentioned talking to Hunter.

Re: \o/ bigboobedcanuck January 12 2011, 15:13:44 UTC

Oh, really? Good to know. At least that's something, I suppose.

Late to the party, but as others have stated below, it's Paolo. He was born and raised in Milan, Italy. If you think his accent is strong now, you should have heard it when he originally came to the show in the 90s. He spoke very little English, and understood even less. It was the cutest thing to hear him mispronounce words. I find it fascinating that when he speaks English, he has a very nasal twang tone, but when he speaks Italian, his voice is deeper and there's no nasal twang tone, at all. It reminds me of the actor Hugh Laurie from the TV show House. When he speaks in his faux American accent, his has the horrible nasally twang, but when he speaks in his native British accent, his voice is deeper and more pleasing to the ear.
