Nathaniel Marston and Susan Batten
OMG, what is with these two and their incredible working chemistry???!!! It's like they've been sharing scenes together for YEARS!!! OLTL really ought to keep Luna around so she can do scenes with Nathaniel -- they work sooo beautifully together.
Too bad he won't be able to see her when he's not ghosting!

Re: Nathaniel Marston and Susan Batten
Nathaniel has the rare quality of making everyone in his scenes look good. I've always felt SB is a good actress but I can't help but comment on the fact that I'm amazed by NM's chemistry with everyone he's on screen with.

Excerpt from Seal IV:
You allow yourself to fall from grace then you feel again. You re-ignite the senses... re-evaluate the gift of being able to make someone happy... The frustration... self doubt... all time low... anxiety &... disappointment. You gather them & then you strike with the might of it all. You let it hurt you, maim you & even disgrace you. But you NEVER let it kill you. You let it get you down but then you get back up again & you strike! with the might of a peaceful warrior.
I love my life, I love all the people in my life, even the one's I hate I love. I have the most amazing life in the world. People say the nicest things to me. I'm lucky... I have a voice... I'm not referring to the singing variety. I mean the voice of expression, of communication, how about just being heard? Isn't that what we all want?... [so] it would then give us a feeling of validation? Surely this would confirm our existence after all, none of us want to come and go into oblivion. We want to be counted isn’t that what all the anxiety and frustration’s about?
If I had a wish, [besides world peace], it would be that everyone in the world could experience what it is like to be heard, to connect directly with the emotions of others… But then I guess that would be like world peace in a funny kind of way… Inner peace. All of this is the gift I wake up to each day so you see the problems are insignificant! They become irrelevant in the big picture. Yeah sure I have bad days, sometimes I get down so low that I could wear a top hat & still crawl under a snake, we all do but when we’re being assessed, it’s going to be on how quick & if all we did get back up.
What’s amazing is that we come out of it [&]... we remember the... people that all too often go unnoticed.

Re: Nathaniel Marston and NOT about Susan Batten
In scenes with Susan Batten? You asked for that one MST05!
ok, ok... You got caught up in the idea of what youre amazed by... I wonder if its a modesty thing or a body imperfection thing that stands in the way of us getting a peek of what is probably the most beautiful flesh we've ever seen... to tell you the truth.. I've never been into the flesh thing on soaps.. (only if I got a chance to get with him in real life would I be dying to see his body, the exchange, that sort of thing). I've never been into man ogling or talking about how hot someone is unless I feel something for them that made me start thinking them as a man.. and I guess that's why I talk about NM so much.. I feel him on some level and am therefore attracted, not the other way around, but I really don't feel any need to see his body. It would be the most beautiful body I've ever seen I'm sure, but all the same... he can wear boring beige Dockers and blah blue shirts till the cows come home, and he's the most beautiful man that walked the planet to me, always will be. I personally don't think about him taking his clothes off on the show but its fun when were all in the gutter together...
So why the show doesn't capitalize on such an obvious ratings getter like NM half naked? NM doesn't strike me as being overly modest, at least not when I met him... though that man does confuse the daylights out of me after seeing him at the Luncheon and wanting to say "Who are you and what did you do with Nathaniel?" I chocked it up to him being sad about his job, but I sensed spirituality, and posted that I sensed it.. so funny now he's quoting eastern philosophy now... so I suppose there is a looming possibility that the man I met at SSW was the imposter (scary to think he was the one that inspired me, but I remind myself they are the same person, and it was the beauty of his soul that was my inspiration even as I was attracted to the brat), and the spiritual one isn't about gettin pimped by TPTB.
The other theory I have is that he has some body imperfections, scarring perhaps... It crossed my mind that he looked at my scar for a "reason". You'd think makeup would take care of that though. Just guesses...

Re: Nathaniel Marston and NOT about Susan Batten
LOL ladies!! Wouldn't it be nice to see our heavenly Al strip down for us?? I missed his last topless scene, because I was out of town. DARN US FOR HAVING TO MOVE THAT WEEK! DARN US!!!
I just think Nathaneil and Susan are amazing together.
Re: Nathaniel Marston and NOT about Susan Batten
I have a feeling that by next year we are gonna see some NM flesh. I am hoping for a more exploratory love scene from NM and KB. The 1 we were jipped out of last time.
Char, while I respect the fact that you respect NM's artistry and personality. I myself feel a deep desire to see him minus clothes. But really it makes things so much easier. when we get to NY, u can do all the talking and I will just be the one to go home with him . And just in case there is a slim chance that NM will visit this site someday, i just want him to know I will totally respect him in the morning. See how everything works out in the end?

Re: Nathaniel Marston and NOT about Susan Batten
Mystify...
Flesh on soaps isn't my cup of tea (Might as well go for the late night Cinemax right ).. but consentual sharing of flesh in person when its the man of my dreams is another thing altogether...
We'd have to duke it out or share him... what say you?

I say, Char, " I challenge U 2 a duel!"
A fight to the finish! Mano a Mano! To the death!
Now that is a piece of beef worth fighting for.
Don't worry Char, I'll tell u all the seedy details after! perhaps that will soothe your wounds. Edited by: MsT05 at: 11/23/03 10:27 pm
Excerpt I love from Luisa Valenzuela's The Lizard's Tale: I have my obsessions, I have my fear that drags me along. I’ve been woven into a network of fears, they cross back and forth over my head, they close me in like an enormous web spun by a spider in the reeds, black and precise, malefically beautiful. This net of fears, this geometric pattern, I go on weaving it too without knowing why, without understanding it. I would like to decipher a small end of it at least, a point in the web, so as to go along unwinding the infernal plot, but I’m not permitted that either. Some of my dearest friends have been… running all kinds of risks, and here I am messing around, talking about a spiderweb that entraps me, putting myself into poetic images. The worst thing is that I can glimpse it so clearly, something woven by clusters of black spiders, crouching in wait for their prey, a broad, mile-wise web with us as the prey, and the spiders too.
This is a picture of a wall at the OLTL studio back in 95. My picture is the one on the right, 3rd up from the bottom. These pictures were up at the studio because the stage manager wanted to show everyone who they were talking to online. In those days, with AOL, people at the studio got to talk to us, even the actors would stop by the chat room.

Re: Nathaniel Marston and Susan Batten
What trips me out... if were so hot that we could get NM... what are we doing waiting around for someone we can't possibly spend enough time with to achieve the trust necessary for what we'd like... personally, I'd like to know the guy on any level he'd be comfortable with, whether I got something touchy feely or not... but the thing is.. any woman that is hot enough to get him to think about spending time, has got to have a life that would detour her from NM... its a catch 22!!!! I can't wait around for something that is so lacking in trust that it can't happen... so you might as well take him.. I guess I'm in local hottie heaven right now... so keep the board warm for me will ya? I'll always love me some Nathaniel, but these cold winter nights... when I could keep company with an enigmatic talented actor and musician? I'd have to be a FOOL to sit around waiting for my dream guy! He's YOURS, for the time being anyways...
