Wow! Wu as Nick. That's even harder to picture than Wu as Hank. Not really sure which is true, I just read about the auditions on another Grimm fan site.

According to rumor control she and David Giuntoli have an on going love affair in real life. How much acting ability does it take to pretend you are in love with the guy you actually are in love with?
In contrast Nick and Adalind practically sizzle. Adalind may be a skank, but she's a damned hot skank! And you can tell that Nick wants to do things to her that are probably illegal in Mississippi!
I still think their relationship is a little creepy, but they do have on screen chemistry.
There was an old Friends episode that guest starred Paget Brewster (I would love to see her do a guest spot on Grimm) that covered actors who were in love off camera.
In it the Chandler character was dating an actress played by Brewster and was getting jealous of her costar in a play because their love scenes were super convincing. However, Joey tells Chandler not to worry because the hotter the loves scenes, the less the actors like each other behind the scenes; while if they're hot and heavy in real life, then their love scenes will be terrible. Unfortunately, Chandler goes back to see the play later and the sex scene is totally lame, so he assumes she's cheating on him with her costar.
Maybe that's what went wrong on Grimm...
Although, like many, I just don't think Tulloch has much talent where acting is concerned. Again, that doesn't mean she's a terrible person or that anyone wants bad things to happen to her. But I stand by what I wrote in another thread, just like you don't go back to a doctor who's bad at practicing medicine, no one wants to watch someone who can't act flounder as they try.
While it appears there are people on the forum who watch Grimm for Tulloch; I personally watch it in spite of her.
