THERE IS NOT A DAMNED THING WRONG WITH BEING PART OF A SUCCESSFUL FAMILY and I am so sick of people who are just plain jealous of others.

I think it’s great that Gary Morse’s granddaughter is a star, but I’ve never liked that character very much. I love the show, but that’s 90% due to James Spader, who is wonderful. I love his voice and his phrasing.

Talt, she apparently never watched Boston Legal....he was a lawyer and not a villain in that exceptional show.

Who is Megan Boone?

Was a great show until about the last year when it go really weird.

For anyone’s info, Megan worked hard and on her own to make her way in theatre, film and TV. She plays her role on Blacklist as written and directed … troubled, fearful, strong yet frightened … it is her character. And whether you support the Developer or not, this family has instilled a strong worth ethic in their children, grand children and now great grand children. Megan decided to leave the show and is probably looking to spread her wings into other roles/characters.

Gracie girl…I couldn’t agree more!

I only recently watched the pilot of The Blacklist. Now I’m hooked. Soon after watching that first episode I learned that Megan Boone was the granddaughter of The Villages founder. I think she’s a fabulous actor and is quite beautiful. I wish I didn’t read this because now I know she will eventually be gone. I’ve been binge watching and I am up to season 2, episode 3. With 8 seasons, I have my summer’s viewing all set. Love the show!

Jealousy and dislike for a family that has created a wonderful retirement for so many people is tragic. Speaks to their character or lack thereof.

Gracie please! This has nothing to do with the family. I love what the Morse family created here. Most retirement communities you have to go out of your surroundings for entertainment, restaurants, etc. It is Megan Boone the actress I take issue with. She is stiff and displays minimal expression. She is beautiful and IMHO that has eased her way through life. Your strong remark is presumptuous and uncalled for.

Having said all that I always look forward to reading your responses on this forum.

Another vote for Spader!

I had my doubts at first given the star power of Spader, but I feel she became an equal main character on the show. I’ll be looking for her next gig!

What is the blacklist. Sounds political incorrect?

Megan Boone is a good actress. I doubt if Hollywood would give extra screen time and salary to a member of immediate family of the developers of the Villages. It is probably more of a negative. But families are very complicated and can have many different viewpoints among its members. And, of course, Hollywood contains many very different people with an extremely wide range of views.

We use the term HATE to regularly. Perhaps,like the word awesome, it has been used
so much that it is meaningless noise. I make an effort to keep my HATE LIST empty
as it is now. That way when someone makes my list I can and do give them my full attention.

People,"think," they know these people. What they know or think they know is little or no reality.

As far as part of the Morse family, we do not chose the cards we are dealt we chose how we play them. We all know sometimes the difference between success and failure
is who you know not what you know.

OMG, I could not agree more. "...this family has instilled a strong WORTH ETHIC (emphasis added) in their children". Well said!!
