If the actor is right for the part, why not, but it's hard to forget a face sometimes!

***shinebrighterxx*** · 04-04-2023, 01:13 AM

Exactly. So many shows do it, audience just needs to accept it. But sometimes actors can be memorable & good in both roles within a show so hard to fault the reusing of the actor. We've just got to believe that these are two completely different people even though they look the same

The times I tend to notice it more is when they are the perpetrator in an ep and then in the next they're the victim. So it's a stand out role rather than just the sibling/friend who might have seen something.

***shinebrighterxx*** · 04-05-2023, 01:23 AM

Yeah, that makes sense. When it is a major role like a victim or perp, then they become a main for me stands out. Or if they've been on a show quite a bit as one character, then appear later on as someone else either in the one show or in another show within a franchise

Yeah, exactly!

A great moment.

I do recall when Rollins first joined up, they did clash quite a bit.

***shinebrighterxx*** · 05-01-2023, 12:48 AM

I think part of it was Olivia was used to being the only female & still hurting from Elliot

There were even fans against the Rollins character in the beginning. I'm not sure why but the tone of comments seemed to be as if she was replacing Liv or something and that just wouldn't happen.

***shinebrighterxx*** · 05-03-2023, 01:14 AM

That doesn't surprise me. Fans didn't like Elliot had gone & probably feared Olivia would be next. Or just were being territorial & hating on everything new

Some 'fans' are strange.
For NCIS we have people who say they don't watch anymore, yet still post on social media constantly about how the show was better when character X was on the show. Even if it has been 10+ years since they were on. One character still was getting hate after being on the show same length of time as her predecessor. Some couldn't accept her still because she wasn't the character she replace

There are still fans who hate on Rollins' character.

I liked the quick reunion clip for these two which I saw on youtube.

B ē ｔｔ ⓨ · 05-14-2023, 08:32 AM

I don't understand sometimes the 'hate' that people put out there.

Like I'm not a huge fan of the newest 'pre-schooler's as Chelle put it in another thread!

(Munzy/Churlish) but I don't 'hate' just don't love them as of yet.

You had to get to know Rollins, like any new character. That same hate was put on Danny Pino as the 'Stabler' replacement.

***shinebrighterxx*** · 05-15-2023, 01:06 AM

I don't see the point in the degree people have in hate. You don't have to like everything, just move on if you don't

. Don't need to throw hate around, especially for years after a character came in (or now still throwing stones at Amanda)

Glad they get at least the one scene together

B ē ｔｔ ⓨ · 05-15-2023, 07:31 AM

So Kelli's guest spot on the latest episode had one spot that bothered me and they added this 'tension' between her and Olivia. Like Olivia was slighted that Amanda left.

I don't love that especially because prior to Kelli's final episodes on SVU they had such great moments. It didn't make sense to me.

***shinebrighterxx*** · 05-16-2023, 02:30 AM

that seems odd

Maybe because Olivia got left with running a preschool after? She's feeling a little stressed
