Members stenbeck212 Posted September 13, 2007 Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 I would love to know that Ingo Rademacher said the same thing about GH. Who's bright idea was it for people to fall in love with their rapists anyway? That's not cool on any level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members adrianna17 Posted September 13, 2007 Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 That is not what James said! He simply said soaps in general trivialize serious issues. Glad to see he likes EJ breaking up Lami LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ANDREA LOATHES REILLY Posted September 13, 2007 Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 James is an idiot too because there was no rape. Perhaps these articles need to talk about the severe hatred for women on daytime, and how they are always written to use their asses as currency. Totally offensive! Ridiculous read! James Scott is a complete moron! ANDREA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Days4Life Posted September 13, 2007 Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 He's right. The rape was a poorly conceived, horribly executed plot device that has failed miserably and done the show a lot of harm, not to mention inciting the fanbases and fueling the Lumi/Ejami wars. I'm glad he's brave enough to speak his mind about it, in a very honest way. If the daytime dramas are not going to deal with rape in a realistic, responsible manner, they need to stay away from the subject completely. And therein lies a big problem with the genre as a whole--they need to deal with current, serious social topics but they can't seem to do it without making a mess of things. So instead we get endless triangles, WTD, and vapid teenagers/young adults partying in hot tubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MikeGoldy Posted September 13, 2007 Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 Wow, that's harsh. You know, I enjoy the hell out of Sami and EJ, and think that they have amazing chemistry. But, however it came across on screen, the ultimate intent was to portray it as a rape. Of course, EJ gave her a choice; its either let me have sex with you, or I won't help save Lucas. To me. she had no choice. Maybe in the real world she could have gotten help somewhere else, but in the DAYS world, there was no one else, and she wasn't going to let Lucas die. What EJ did was cruel and nasty. And yet, I still like EJ and Sami, because it's a very complex story. But, I still believe it was rape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted September 13, 2007 Author Administrator Share Posted September 13, 2007 The actors says it's rape and the writers who write the show says it's rape.......... It's like......if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck.....it's NOT A DUCK?! No? I love it actors speak up about questionable writing. Stenbeck, I wish Ingo would speak out too.

Members Shawn Posted September 13, 2007 Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 Right. And you calling him a complete moron because he saw it as rape like many others did when you didn't isn't ridiculous at all. Let's not turn this into the infamous "rape" thread. It was divisive then, it will be devisive now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stenbeck212 Posted September 13, 2007 Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 Excuse me? Was that for my benefit? James Scott certainly said more than a line about soaps in general. He gave an in depth answer about his own show: Huh? You don't want him to say he LIKED a poorly written story about sexual assault, right? What exactly makes him a moron?

Administrator Toups Posted September 13, 2007 Author Administrator Share Posted September 13, 2007 Oh I agree. I'm not going to debate whether it was rape or not. I'm tired of doing that. I just wanted to point out how I liked the actor involved in the rape speaking out on how the rape was horribly written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shawn Posted September 13, 2007 Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 I know what you meant, and I agree wholeheartedly. He touched on a lot of things in the interview, and he made me like him more for not being afraid to speak whats on his mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MikeGoldy Posted September 13, 2007 Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 I enjoyed the interview as well. He's a really smart young actor, which DAYS hasn't cast much of in recent years. I love me some Brandon Beemer, but I can't imagine him discussing story like James Scott did LOl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members adrianna17 Posted September 13, 2007 Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 Excuse me? I stand by my assesment. James loves Ejmai he did not like 180 done on EJ just to try to prop Lucas and Lami at time. Besides, it didn't work for show then and still doesn't. Thus, the reason Lami is being dumped and Ejami is being promoted. The fact is the whole sl was a debacle and the fact its still debateable only proves that. I always do laugh though when some bring up rape, rape, rape and forget their guy let Sami go to jail and death row for a muder he knew he committed. That is so far worse in my book. Those is glass houses should not throw stones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stenbeck212 Posted September 13, 2007 Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 How does that relate to James Scott clearly making a statement about his disillusionment with the rape plot in this interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
