Actor/Actress of the Week…
Good morning, everyone!! Since the new episode is coming up in just a couple of days, I thought I would share my picks for the actors and characters that really stole the show this week: Neal McDonough as Dave Williams and Kathryn Joosten as Karen McClusky.
Karen’s had much more of a role this season and I am loving it so far. She’s always been a fun character with a sharp wit and bold personality. She’s really being able to showcase that this year, especially in her first scene with Dave. She is brash and unapologetic about the jokes she made to Edie, because they always made those jokes and she wasn’t going to be made to feel like she’s a bad person for it. I loved it. Still… she really won me over by simultaneously being able to play very vulnerable and scared when she realized it must’ve been Dave who took her cat. The best part of it all, though, was she showed that strong side again later by being proactive and basically forcing herself into Kathryn Mayfair’s house to get the dirt on this guy. No sitting and waiting for the ax to fall for her and I adore her for it.
Dave, meanwhile, was seriously creepy this week by blackmailing Karen to apologize like that. Neal really owns the part and made me actually worry briefly about the well-being of that cat! I have full confidence that Dave would’ve done away with him if Karen had not done what he said and I’m looking forward to seeing what he pulls next time someone makes Edie pout.
