Good Witch : James Denton is HORRIBLE!

James Denton is HORRIBLE!

He is still Mike from Desperate Housewives! Its nearly ruined the show. He has no acting skills whatsoever. He has brought the exact same character Mike from Desperate housewives to this show and its a complete fail!!! He acts the exact same looks exactly the same walks talks everything as Mike! Why did they bring this idiot into this show?? Its a complete misery to watch this guy be Mike! I was really hoping he'd die off in the last season but No here he is again this year too! UGH!!! This sucks so bad!

Re: James Denton is HORRIBLE!

I agree that they might as well have called his character Mike Delfino because he is exactly the same. But I don't think it ruins the show. So what if it's the same character? Hollywood is full of people who are the same character in every role they play. At least he is American and not Canadian like pretty much everyone else on the cast. I have nothing against Canada mind you. It's just that Middleton is supposed to be somewhere outside of Chicago yet everyone sounds like they're from Canada.

They have to film somewhere, and maybe the kind of town they wanted to create, worked better in Canada. And it probably was easier to get Canadian actors. As a non-Canadian and non-American, the accent sounds no different to me, so it's not like I'm thinking, oh that person sounds Canadian, while that one sounds American. To me they are all one and the same; they are actors and I have not noticed the distinction. I do love the show.

Re: James Denton is HORRIBLE!

I agree, he's bland, boring, dull... I was completely bored watching the season premiere last night. Hallmark should've kept to the motto "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"... they should've just kept making one new movie per year or they could've waited until Chris Potter was available. I miss the special magical whimsical feel each new movie offered every October. When I watched the first Good Witch back in 2008, I absolutely loved it and looked forward to each new segment the following year... Hallmark ruined it for me..I used to love Hallmark as you can see it's my user name but I think I may have to change it!

Re: James Denton is HORRIBLE!

Awwww I don't think James Denton is all that bad but yes if only Chris Potter had of been available. I even though Anthony Lemkw (Ryan) last season was a much better actor.

Im on Team John now- Dan Payne is incredibly handsome!!

Re: James Denton is HORRIBLE!

I like Denton. A TV show is much slower than a movie where all the conflict is cleared up in 2 hours. As a result, the actors aren't given as much to do, and last weeks story jammed in a bunch of characters. I thought the fault lay more in the writing and not the actors.

Anthony Lemke seemed like an odd fit for Cassie, I didn't see any chemistry, I do see chemistry with Denton

Re: James Denton is HORRIBLE!

kerprice I have to disagree. I think Ryan and Cassie had great chemistry. He's handsome, he loved her, and at first you could see her feelings were developing for him, for more than a friendship, then the writers of course switched it around. Then they made up some idiotic excuse about him going back to the same man who had fired him and from whom he had quit!

Maybe he got another job offer and couldn't commit, but I still feel that an injustice to his character was done. I miss him on the show.

rissole, yes Dan Payne is incredibly handsome and hot, but he's not stable. He's an adventurer. He likes to travel and go different places. Cassie loves her family and she loves Middleton. Sam is better for her, although my top choice would have been Ryan and I'm disappointed that they didn't keep him on the show.

Re: James Denton is HORRIBLE!

I don't see Mike in this at all, but maybe it's because I can separate an actor from a role. How you see kind, earthy plumber Mike in rude, judgemental doctor Sam is beyond me. I really like the character and love James. Can't wait to see more.

Re: James Denton is HORRIBLE!

"I really like the character and love James. Can't wait to see more. "

Ditto!!! :D

Re: James Denton is HORRIBLE!

"James Denton is HORRIBLE!

Jeez! Lol, calm down! It's not so horrible as you say! I think he's awesome! I don't care if he's similar to "Mike". This is not a mind bending show. It's good, clean, simple "dramady" with very little complexity.It has a good feel to it in every aspect and to be honest, I'm having a hard time believing anyone would have any complaints. I would think most people would realize this show for what it is and just roll with it or don't watch?


I LOVE the Sam character and I love how Dentin is portraying him.

Re: James Denton is HORRIBLE!

I love James Denton!

Re: James Denton is HORRIBLE!

I'm not intending to be disrespectful of the OP, but I really don't have any problem with Denton. I kind of like this new courtship situation for Cassie.

Re: James Denton is HORRIBLE!

I quite like him, myself.

Re: James Denton is HORRIBLE!

Hello My name is Mike Delfino and I just moved here from Wisteria Lane. I cannot act like anyone else or play a new role!

I guess you'd have to have been a Desperate Housewives fan to comprehend that he has extremely limited role playing skills.

Re: James Denton is HORRIBLE!

I also like James Denton.

Re: James Denton is HORRIBLE!

If you saw The Pretender, he played an entirely different character, an evil one, so he has some acting chops

Re: James Denton is HORRIBLE!


If you saw The Pretender

I was wondering if anyone here was going to reference Mr. Lyle (he'll always be Mr. Lyle to me).

-----
WORDS MEAN THINGS! Also, before you come to bitch about a plot hole, rewatch the show/movie.

Re: James Denton is HORRIBLE!

I'm a big Pretender fan so when I see James I think of Mr. Lyle too. He was really bad (as in evil) on that show. I've got to get use to him being the good kind doctor. ;)

Thank you for the reminder. The Pretender was one of my favorite shows, and I had completely forgotten that James Denton was a great part of it. I don't get the OP's rant at all.

Re: James Denton is HORRIBLE!

Actually I like his character...a little bland but likable. I like the build of the relationship better than the movies. Besides, there are other interests which will make her choice of the next husband much more believable (I'd like Sam to be her choice). In the movies, the cop was the only one interested in her and she married him.

Re: James Denton is HORRIBLE!

Honestly, I never saw Desperate Housewives, but after watching last night's show, I think he needs to be replaced. Or take the job as Head of Staff at the hospital and only appear once in a while. This role is not suited for him. He does more eye rolling than my emoticons. That's not acting. He must be uncomfortable with the character. Possibly the writing is boring, but all the other characters are very entertaining. Even Cassie sometimes gets boring, but maybe that's only when she's playing opposite him. There is absolutely no chemistry between them. He doesn't appear to be in love. There definitely is something between her and the archaeologist. That character looks at her like he's loved her for years, even if he is a "playah".

Re: James Denton is HORRIBLE!

Thank you for your response I totally agree he needs to go!

Re: James Denton is HORRIBLE!

i don't like him either... he and cassie have absolutely no chemistry... he reminds me of the 40's and 50's in hollyweird when 60 year old guys were pushed as sex symbols opposite beautiful young women... think randolph scott... add to that his character is unlikable... almost as unlikable as his obnoxious son. (he needs a foot in his azz)... but denton's character is arrogant in his always being right... as many doctors are... he's just not a character that one can get emotionally invested in... jmo btw... catherine bell is absolutely gorgeous...

While I have nothing against Sam (James Denton), and while I do like him on the show, I do agree with you that there's some serious chemistry with John and Cassie. He does appear to be in love, but what's with these men that keep staring longingly yet not saying how they feel? Ryan was the only one who came outright and said what he felt; and he got dumped. Ryan would have been my first choice, and if John wasn't such a "player" or traveller, he would have been my next choice. But I also like Sam. So glad I'm not in Cassie's picking position. lol

Re: James Denton is HORRIBLE!

I just started watching the show and he's okay. But then again, I never heard of him so it makes no never mind to me. I think only the people who knows him from Desperate Housewives and didn't like his character would be annoyed that new character is a clone of Mike.

The mayor is wayyyyyyy more annoying

Re: James Denton is HORRIBLE!

The mayor is so annoying it's entertaining. :)

Re: James Denton is HORRIBLE!

The whole show is horrible. Boring as reading a dictionary for hours, the actors all seem out of place, and every guy falls for Cassie?? Seriously??!! She's ok but no way is she not practicing magic to have all these men fall for her, lol. What a joke of a show.

BigHead, this show is not for everybody. It's a lovely show and I binge watched it from since yesterday and hardly got any sleep last night; woke up at 3am and finished watching until now at 6am). I love all the characters even though some can be annoying. Well actually I don't love all of them; I don't love Abigail. But I love the show and maybe this just isn't "your cup of tea"; no pun intended.
