It’s like when the CSers point to JMo saying how much she loves CS or how great she thinks the relationship is, but point blank ignore her talking about the positives of SQ relationship or whens she said “Neal was such a true love for Emma.” But at the same time we point to those quotes about Neal and try to find subtext behind the CS stuff. It’s a problem for both sides. I personally don’t believe JMo is as on board with CS as those shippers want to believe and that largely comes down to the way she plays Emma (including dress and makeup) in a CS scene vs in a non-CS scene. And often times the way an actor plays something will let you know how they really feel. (Bobby doing his best work all season with the actor playing his son, and sorta phoning it in elsewhere, as an example)

Fair point.  We’ll probably never truly know her actual feelings.  But count me in on the side where I believe what JMo is saying and not assuming she is lying.  And if I’m being consistent, than I also have to believe her when she says Neal and Emma were true love.  If she says Neal and Emma were true love, why would she lie about this?  But yes, you can certainly tell when Bobby is phoning it in and when he’s actually acting his butt off.  I guess I haven’t really been able to detect JMo’s performance differing in certain scenes, but I also suppose I wasn’t looking for it.  But to me, that just means Bobby’s was more obvious.
