Members Josh Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 Okay so I know GL had Jammy w/their love/incest...but why is DAYS going down the Max/Stephanie storyline? I thought that Hogan wouldn't do that type of story and to me this is a little more creepy and weird as compared to Jammy, Stephanie is his neice, his sister's daughter...I'm torn! What does everyone think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 I don't care for them and they don't have Jammy type chemistry either. Though, biologically they aren't blood-related, so I guess that gives them some type of pass. They're fast-forward material for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 I'm still on the fence about them. Some days I can possibly tolerate them, when Max and Stephanie don't wanna jump each other bones, but when they are like that, sometimes I get an icky feeling.

Members dragonflies Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 It squicks me out. I too thought Hogan wasn't going to do this ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted September 19, 2007 Administrator Share Posted September 19, 2007 Hogan said he wasn't going to do "incest" so why is he going there now? Why not pair Max with say someone like Billie??? I want Billie to be on more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DrewH Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 Hogan disappoints me with this storyline. He ws so against the incest angle last summer, and now he's giving us incest. Whether Max and Stephanie are blood related, they're still both Bradys and still related. And the worst part about this is that Max has known about Stephanie her entire life. With Chelsea, I could take their relationship because they didn't know each other. Chelsea wasn't part of the Brady family her entire life. While it was still gross, it was a lot better than Max and Stephanie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members koos Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 They're related by name only... I don't see the big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Graciecat Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 Well, I find it kind of icky, but I can see that on days incest is hard to avoid (not impossible, but difficult). I think it helps me immeasurably that unlike Jammy, they are not-blood related. I'm moderately troubled, but expect to get over it in time, if they're really going to pursue this relationship.

Members soapfan770 Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 How foolish of you all forget that Hogan wrote incest on ATWT as well!!! He wrote storylines for that very disgusting couple...you know, the uncle and his niece. ICKY! Getting over my sarcastic self now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Josh Posted September 19, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 I don't remember Hogan ever writing an incest story on ATWT, Douglas Marland did, but I don't recall Hoggie. But my thing is that Hogan talked about this pairing when he joined and was not a fan of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 Doesn't matter IMO. Kayla & Max were raised as siblings and he's known Stephanie all her life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 I think Hogan may have realized that he doesn't have as much control over the show as he thought. I think it's a matter of give and take. Hogan may want to do a story one way, but in return he has to give up something else. It's clear that the departure of Ashley Benson put a kink in plans, but I'd much rather them go this route with Max & Stephanie, then them introduce some newbie for him to lust over and take up the air time. The less new characters that are introduced the better (at least for now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 this seems very similiar to B&B right now putting Rick with Phoebe who happens to be his niece. Thats just nasty and even if they arent blood related, they were raised as family their entire lives and are still in the same family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 They should have recast Abigail instead of giving us this piss-poor Steph recast. That would have prevented this incest angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 Exactly. I think the loss of both Fath and Benson put Hogan in a bind. Also, I should say that the current Max/Stephanie pairing has Corday written all over it. Corday has always been about the teens. In 2001, everyone blamed Langan and, while he was responsible, Corday also was obsessed with the teens, especially his beloved Shelle. Corday saved face by firing Langan and pinning it all on him. I think Corday was on Hogan about creating another teen pairing because all the show had was Chick and this is all they got. Like Ryan said, it's better then another newbie. I just think this reeks of Corday. Hogan is not going to come out to the media and show himself to be adamantly against something only to go back on what he said a year later. The man is an emmy winner and is the type that wants to protect his reputation so I don't see him going back on what he said unless he had to. I went from hating Max/Stephanie to tolerating them to now liking them. They have good chemistry and both Darin and Shelley can act. Shelley gets a bad rep and I think if not for the TTS plot, the Shayna Rose backlash, and bad writing for her she would be better received. She connects well with SN and MBE and has really shown her talent when given good material. Last week, I saw the potential in Max/Stephanie due to good writing and execution. If Days can continue that and not shove the couple down fans' throats, I think it will be fine. I also think they need to do a better job of mentioning the adopted uncle thing. If they don't gloss over it, I think it will have better results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
