Sam Atwell/Kane


Guest I love music

Thought I'd start this thread because nobody else has.

Sam Atwell. Played the part of Kane Phillips, probably the most fascinating, complex character H&A ever created, to perfection. Athough he left the show (far, far too long ago now :( ) he is still often discussed and his controversial storylines frequently argued about. I think that's mostly down to Sam Atwell's very, very believable acting.

So...anybody else want to say "Well done, Sam!" :D

Yes, indeed.

There was something that drew me to the character from day one, and kept me fascinated throughout - storylines that showed that the world is not just black and white; and a character with so many sides and so many depths. No one, not even his greatest fans/critics could say he was 100% good guy or 100% bad guy. I think my obsession with the character was largely down to how he was played out on screen... a character you could believe in - a man who had many flaws and challenges but fought so hard against them. Storylines expertly handled, in a way that you really felt for the characters as if they were real.

The Kane and Kirsty romance is/was, in my eyes, the best Home and Away romance of all time... and I like to think it would rank as one of the best in other's eyes. The ultimate forbidden romance, a real chemistry and storylines that just sucked me in and got me completely hooked.

I never saw headLand, but would have liked to... and I've heard that Sam's role recently on 'All Saints' was a good one too.

Would I like the characters of KK to return? I don't know... simply because I worry that writers would destroy the characters/background that have been built up so well over the years

I didn't like the character Kane, AT ALL. (I could go on a rant about why, but this is an appreciation thread so I won't.) I have to say that his acting was great. :D He really handled his lines well. :) Great actor.

Well done Sam!

(That's a huge compliment from me, because normally when you don't like a character you're not fond of the actor or prepared to compliment them. But Sam deserves it. He played a GREAT bad guy, it's just a shame he didn't stay that way through the duration of his time. :()

Yup, that DOES prove the strength of his acting. Whether you loved or hated Kane, there was no way you could ignore him! :)
