Members TC Posted June 11, 2008 Members Share Posted June 11, 2008 You're right about the lack of diversity. The Halls would be a touch of class. Ellen H. is probably too much to ask for. My partner, and many other people of colour I know from that generation and older, got their start with soaps via OLTL and AMC, mostly OLTL. Evangeline was a popular, polarizing character, but her absence is in no way the definitive story of OLTL's lack of racial diversity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members leevo64 Posted June 11, 2008 Members Share Posted June 11, 2008 Vee, your earlier post hit the nail right on the head and impressed me greatly. I agree with you - Ron Carlivati is doing what GOOD soap writers do: write frothy, fluffy melodrama REALLY, REALLY well. There's still messages, such as themes of family and friendship, but unlike Malone's work it doesn't come off as a public service announcement. As for the Justis Bolding/Sarah stuff... I like Bolding's Sarah, but the problem is that the character has been so mismanaged in the past that Carlivati has yet to write something that really defines her. I think she's got a good range and I look forward to what she brings to the table when Tina comes home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TC Posted June 11, 2008 Members Share Posted June 11, 2008 Jay, I think it was just a matter of throwing Justus B. a bone to chew on, --- mostly so that we know she's up for the task of dealing with her mother Tina/AE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhinohide Posted June 11, 2008 Members Share Posted June 11, 2008 To each their own. I liked her, but that was back in the day when I just watched and didn't analyze so much. Probably one of the reasons I'll remember AW as one of my favorites of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted June 11, 2008 Members Share Posted June 11, 2008 bc he was her friend. They spent alot of time alone together over the past few months working together. Its only natural that she'd be incredibly upset over what happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted June 11, 2008 Members Share Posted June 11, 2008 besides Jessica though, who else was close with Nash? No one besides Sarah. I wouldnt expect anyone else to get as upset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted June 11, 2008 Members Share Posted June 11, 2008 They do, don't they? (I'm watching the end-of-episode montage on SoapNet "as we speak". Take notes if you're watching, Ellen Wheeler. That's how it done.) Either they're longer, or they're more in-depth. Either way, OLTL, keep it up! I loved watching Blair and Addie's conversation so much. Aside from the bits of foreshadowing (you just know we're heading for another Todd/Blair showdown, as well as the whole scary truth behind Blair's conception), it was just a nice, simple, quiet talk between mother and daughter that covered not just Starr's dilemma, but Blair's, Addie's, Viki's, Todd's and even Tina's. No beating-you-over-the-head plot advancement, just a little character development. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
