It was a pretty simple scene; the two actors didn't need much blocking. But still, the director yelled, "Cut!"
Raymond Warren's line delivery was lacking, and his expression of falling for Shannon Sutton at first sight wasn't very natural either. They had to shoot the scene three times before finally getting a successful take.
Crew members muttered quietly off-set. "It's such a simple scene, I memorized it after one watch. And that guy even rehearsed beforehand, yet he still can't get it right!"
"And they're hyping up Raymond Warren's great acting online. I really don't see it."
"Didn't you hear? Riley Perry has everyone else's lines memorized. The contrast is just... tsk, tsk..."
Riley Perry listened to the crew's discussion, a faint smile on her lips. Her scenes were rarely cut. On the rare occasion there was an issue, it was usually because the director wanted her to try a different interpretation. This happened to other actors too, so no one ever said her acting was bad.
