Not that pretty?

Thing is there's a false(or somewhat false) assumption in play: 5b4That a succubus would in fact need to be drop dead gorgeous. Fact is, a succubus doesn't need to be physically beautiful since the sexuality transcends the physical.
I 100% agree with this.
The issue I have with Anna Silk is that she doesn't pull off the succubus allure to me. Often her delivery reads as sort of cutesy/naive, not sexy. She can also be a little wooden sometimes and her "witty" dialogue sometimes seems forced, not natural (like with Kenzie). I just finished season 2 and I'm still on the fence about her playing Bo.
I like the character as written, but Silk's acting is only so-so. I try not to focus on it too much but I definitely wish they could have gotten someone else to play the role.
If she was as charismatic as a succubus is supposed to be then I would totally overlook any physical flaws. But she's not. She has a great bod, to be sure. Love how voluptuous she is actually. Her face is meh though so I'm throwing in with the OP.
I actually find the actress who plays Lauren to be even less attractive. I almost wish that Anna Silk was playing the Lauren character and they got someone else to play Bo. I feel like Silk's delivery would work more on a character like Lauren who is supposed to be a little awkward, wide eyed, and naive.
Happy birthday to the ground! -

My sister and I watched the first episode together and when they showed Bo my first comment was "For a succubus she isn't very pretty". Anna is pretty but I imagine a succubus as being really hot. That's just my opinion though.

Everyone has different taste. It's nice you can point out some qualities about her that are nice, but you don't have to like all of them. I think she's gorgeous even her face. A lot of people think she is hot, some people do not. That's lie and opinion on EVERYBODY. Why does it matter if others agree that she's not a Goddess?
I'm blonde, but glad there's not some "hottie" typical blonde bimbo playing the part. And I think her characters hot-factor depends more on her personal charm than anything else. It's her powers, regardless of her not being the hottest woman alive to EVERY SINGLE PERSON in the world. -

I've watched a few more episodes after I posted on this board. I will admit that I'm starting to find her more and more attractive. I guess I didn't find her as pretty to start off with because she is a new face to me. I'm used to seeing the same people on tv over and over again.

I don't find her to be ugly at all. I think she's a very pretty girl but otherwise I don't think she's as 'sexy' as she should be for a succubus. She's not even the most attractive female on her own show. Ksenia Solo is way prettier than Anna Silk.

She's not all that pretty, but she's very HOT! I mean, if you want to tear her facial features down especially without makeup, I imagine her face is average, or so (she does seem to have a pretty smokin' body, though).
BUT half of "looks" for a lot of women is their personality how they "carry 16d0themselves," and at least in the character of "Bo," on "Lost Girl," (the only thing I've seen her in), she comes across quite a bit more attractive than she might if she didn't have much personality to go with that sort of long face.
Either way, she's certainly not ugly, by any stretch.
Now Ksenia Solo, on the other hand well, she's not really "pretty" in the classical sense, either, but she's so darned cute I wanna hug her and squeeze her until her widdle head pops off!
Seriously, her "cuteness" makes HER hot!
One thing I've been wondering since this show started running on SyFy, though There's this Subaru commercial that's been on for a couple of years, now, where a guy loses his sunglasses and he and his wife/girlfriend backtrack over half of the Southwest trying to find them until after dark, when she honks at him in a cave, causing a bunch of bats to come flying out, and when he pulls his hoodie on, his sunglasses fall down on his head from his hoodie The woman in that commercial looks A LOT like Anna Silk to me, but I can't find a credit anywhere if that's her, or not The face doesn't look quite as "long," but makeup, hair styles, camera angles and lighting could all affect things like that.
Anybody have a thought? Keeps buggin' me every time I see that ad.

Dude are you serious?
Maybe some agree with you but seriously man.
First of she is amazingly gorgeous! there is no doubt. Have u seen episode 8 of season 1. She looks so awesome.
Everything about her is great
And this role is suits her perfectly.
I wouldn't chose anyone else for it if I was in the casting choice.
She plays is perfectly with her amazing expressionb68s with every scene she commits to.
Cheers! -

It seems like they are going that way. They are confusing us. Since bo actually fell in love with dyson before she went for the doctor. Dyson sort of played her off to make her not like him.
But I can totally tell that its Bo/Lauren that should be together ! Dyson can be a good friend and Lauren can only be with her as her girlfriend. I just hope they dont end up killing the doctor or something and then in the end bo and dyson are back together.
Anywaysusually tv shows are unpredictable. But I vote for Bolauren team no doubt! -

i think they may have initib68ally thought that way but the popularity of the bo/lauren relationship and the Lauren character herself has kind of exploded so I would think they will def keep lauren in there as they must be doing all these polls for some reason and all are coming up very much on the bo/lauren side. Fingers crossed lol

Really? Where are they doing the polls. I should definitely go vote as well !! I think Zoie Palmer is just brilliant! No offense to Dyson he is amazing good looking. But I just like Bo Lauren together!! I really hope they dont do anything stupid !
I am keeping my fingers crossed for sure now! -

there is a poll about team dyson or team lauren on the showcase site. There are a few poll results on closed ones and evey one that involves lauren or dyson comes out massively in favour of lauren. You should check out afterellen.com screen caps re lost girl as well if you havent already. Really funny

Silk has a great figure. I am sure that many notice her cleavage, which is displayed in nearly each show with the tops she wears. I love Bo's wardrobe and hairstyles. I think they use push up bras on Silk to enhance what she already has, but she looks great.

why would someone take the time to post a message about someone not being pretty ? she's on a popular TV show, so it must be becaue that person wants attention, to put enerby into negative anything is beyond me
