EE - Anyone here who hasnt warmed to new Lucy?
In my opinion, she was Kirkwoods mess, I warmed to new Ben, new Peter by LN, but I just can't warm to her, when ever she talks it feels like she is annoyed, she has no chemisty with her twin anymore, I havent yet seen a bond between these two yet, I'm sure Melissa is the better actress, and I'm sure she would have bonded with Ben Hardy's Peter!
Same as Lauren, Mels Lucy was really close to Lauren!
Mel had better chemestry with Ian!

I think New Lucy just isn't working.
She isn't working for me. Pretty girl, but she doesn't feel like Lucy Beale to me. Contrast that to the Lauren recast: like her or loathe her, she's took ownership of the role.
Excatly, with Joshes Ben, he made Ben, and Ben Hardy is Peter Beale,
Hetti is not Lucy! Mel is!
Agreed but the difference with Lauren is that she wasn't really an established character. Therefore Jac Jossa didn't really have to fill anyones boots. It was far easier to own a role when it was pretty much a blank canvas.
Melissa however made that role her own. Love or loath the actress, she put a stamp on the character. Every one knew who Lucy Beale was. However now, as you say, she's has done a complete 180. There was no traits of Lucy Beale there at all. It feels like a new actress has come in and playing a daughter that Ian never knew he had. She just happens to go by the name of Lucy too.
Me too, I know I'm a minority but I think shes much better as Lucy.
The old Lucy just used to smirk all the time.
she still has that bitchy mean streak to her but she also has a soft nicer side to her too, she a much more 3 dimensional character than the old one, and a better actress too.
bib new Lauren, New Ben were absolutely nothing like thier original counterparts either. ESPECIALLY BEN
Let Cindy Jr. fill the 'young female Beale(ish)' role whilst she's gone - I think Mimi Keene has an awful lot of potential.
Same for me.
New Lucy comes across as vacant and makes me switch off (I call it the Keira Knightley effect because the actress never fails to induce a kind of indifference in me)
She may be more 3D than Mel Lucy but the actress lacks the ability to make the audience empathise with her. She has no screen presence while Melissa did, even if she wasn't particularly a strong actress.
You're right new Ben was nothing like old Ben but Charlie Jones never made much impact in the role. It was easier to accept his change in persona.
you do kind of have a point there, everyones got to bear in mind that they have had 2 of the most god awful EP during the time Hetti took over.
Agreed. Especially your final point, in bold. She was distinctly average, at best.
I suppose we do have to agree to disagree( witch ids kinda sad we have never disagreed on anything before Katrina:() tbh out of all the recasts she probably had the most difficult shoes to fill, It was never gonna be easy.
bib thats not true, he the funniest thing in the show (you need slappin down:D) classic:cool:
Ben had a tough life though, bound to be messed up!
