It may be because they're trying to hold onto a younger audience. On the whole there's a lack of creativity in TV these days, perhaps because with...

It could be a medical condition but she seems okay drinking from a cup. I've sometimes seen other actors shake a bit and it made me think that for some reason they may get nervous in certain scenes.
