Members Marissa Gallant Posted October 1, 2021 Members Share Posted October 1, 2021 I don't mind OTT. And I adore OTT characters. But I need there to be some basis in reality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchBug82 Posted October 1, 2021 Members Share Posted October 1, 2021 Oh I am the first one to appreciate storylines that resemble real dynamic between real people and "real" issues. But I don't think Santa Barbara lacked those either. I just don't accept the criticism of SB's campiness at times. That's part of the charm of the genre for me, regardless of the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Joseph Posted October 1, 2021 Members Share Posted October 1, 2021 You said it! If Soaps didn't have OTT moments they would be documentaries, even reality shows tend to be OTT 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marissa Gallant Posted October 1, 2021 Members Share Posted October 1, 2021 I love SB. It was my favorite in 1986 and still is. I laughed, I cried. It became a part of my life. I prefer SB's level of OTT to say- putting the entire cast onto an island... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marissa Gallant Posted October 2, 2021 Members Share Posted October 2, 2021 Why didn't someone have the foresight to ask Jed Allan to narrate audio books for Audible? I could listen to that voice read a phone book. P.s. Audible, it's not too late to get Lane Davies... just aaying 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Marissa Gallant Posted October 2, 2021 Members Share Posted October 2, 2021 Not very much! Oh, swoon. That's why I liked Mason and Tory. They recited Shakespeare at each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted October 3, 2021 Members Share Posted October 3, 2021 Right now, I am watching a rerun of Mannix on FETV. Guess who showed up playing a young amateur boxer?

Members Wendy Posted October 3, 2021 Members Share Posted October 3, 2021 UGH, Tori. Hated her. From beginning to end. All she really existed as was a foil. Maybe had the writers not made her a rapist (Cruz) and drug-addicted shrew and gave her a bit more of a backbone, I could have warmed to her. As it was, though, I did not miss Kristen Meadows once she left the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted October 3, 2021 Members Share Posted October 3, 2021 What's funny is that she ended up being the spoiler in her own love story! Was anyone expecting Mason/Julia to take off like that? After what she did to Cruz, I never understood why he, Eden and all the rest were always so nice to her. I never bought it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Beach Climber Posted October 3, 2021 Members Share Posted October 3, 2021 Mason/Julia weren’t the plan but their baby contract scenes were a much more obvious build to a pairing for me than Mason and Tori were. I never bought the Tori/Mary comparison they were initially pushing and never got why Mason would have fallen for her. Of course, what little build they had died as soon as they actually got married which made it more baffling that they were the planned pairing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted October 3, 2021 Members Share Posted October 3, 2021 Neither did I or any other SB fan. Kristen Meadows really was in a no-win situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted October 3, 2021 Members Share Posted October 3, 2021 I would add that what really didn't make sense was Mason's explanation for claiming to be the father of Tori's baby was to help Eden and Cruz. As if it was ever in keeping with the character of Mason that he would sacrifice his own happiness for Eden's? I don't buy it for a minute... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wendy Posted October 3, 2021 Members Share Posted October 3, 2021 Well, "helping" Eden and Cruz also involved more money or something, if I remember right, or some bonus in CC's will or whanot. As much as I liked Mason, that made it make more sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
