[QUOTE="James from London, post: 284321, member: 22"] I thought she was great, especially in that first year or two. She was especially good when she and Blake were in conflict because she had more to sink her teeth into. I think it's much harder to act, or at least act interestingly, when you don't have any subtext, especially when you're delivering the kind of expositionary dialogue you mostly get in soap operas. For example, saying a line like "I'm so happy!" when you [I]are[/I] so happy is far less interesting than saying "I'm so happy!" when you're secretly really [I]un[/I]happy. And Evans had to do that kind of thing for years on end. Personally, I thought she rang the changes between Rita and Krystle really well. I love how they'd go straight from a scene of Krystle being genuinely terrified in the attic to Rita being comically out of her depth in the mansion. As gloriously mental as the whole storyline was, it really felt like you were watching two different people. [/QUOTE]
