I think it has more to do with her character: Emma is still pretty bad at expressing her emotions, due to how guarded she has been her whole life. Jennifer is okay imo: however much Emma leaves me cold in general, when she gets super emotional like in Lady Of The Lake or Lost Girl, Jennifer's acting makes me truly relate to her.

I think it's the same as Emma Rigby: at first I thought she was an awful actress, totally out of place; but when Anastasia's true colours started showing, I understood it was really the Red Queen, the character, who was bad at faking upper-class-ness and felt out of place as royalty. It's not ER who makes the acting obvious because she's bad, it's her character who's faking a part that's not cut for her.
