Members marlenadlc Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 There's something not right about Addie...the way in which she is being written! http://www.marlenadelacroix.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 I don't have a long history with the character of Addie. Maybe it I did I would feel differently, but as it stands I don't agree with that column. I don't see Addie as being played for a fool. It seems to me that she is taking a lot of joy in life, making up for lost time and going after what she wants. I love that Addie isn't held back by social convention. If she wants to do something she does it and she doesn't care if it's appropriate for someone of her age or place in life. I say "Go Addie" enjoy life and lucidity while you have them. You never know when they will be snatched away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 I gotta agree--the post is thougth provoking--thanks Marlena--but I disagree. I think they've been careful to show she knows what she' doing and why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 It's something different. I think it's awesome that they are using Pamela Peyton Wright, and the things that Addie are doing are realistic. If her actions provide comic relief, thats even better. Two for the price of one!

Members Darn Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 I think the marriage to David is stupid and contrived but I don't necessarily think Addie's being played as a fool. Youthful, yes but not foolish. She sometimes comes across as the smartest one in the lot. BUT I really hated today's episode, it was absolute crap. I'm sorry I watched it.

Members Cheap21 Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 I think they made it clear on teh show taht she was NOT being played for a fool. She knows exactly who David is and what this marriage is about. She simply doesnt care. She's missed out on so much while being mentally ill and is now free from that and grasping to experience as much as possible and see what she's missed out on. Her marriage with David is about having fun and feeling good about herself. So far, she's having a blast and good for her bc David is definetly someone who knows how to have a good time. She's not complaining and she definetly isnt a sucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhinohide Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 ITA Cheap. Addie is many things. Inexperienced. Perhaps a bit naive. But she's no fool. She's getting exactly what she wants and loving every minute of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 Completely disagree, but hey, I guess Marlena has to be critical of something for fear of being called as much a syncophant as Nelson Branco (whose personal attacks on her I do not approve of). It's been emphasized that Addie knows what she wants and why she wants it and how to get it, even if she is eccentric and impulsive. It's not abuse by the writers. At all.

Members chrishntr Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 Addie knows exactly what she's doing and she's enjoying every moment of it. I'm enjoying Addie like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members detroitpiston Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 I understand where Marlena is coming from, but ITD. As someone said earlier, Addie is using David just as much as he's using her. And the show has gone out of it's way to make that absolutely clear.

Members jinx_avery Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 The more apt OLTL analogy might be the "Love Boat" not "Lifeboat". Seems like every faded star of yesteryear is being trotted out to give one last go at what made them famous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 not at all. todd mentally raping marty would have made for a much better read... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members leevo64 Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 In my opinion, Addie and Langston are the only two Cramer women with any sense. I don't think Addie has been written like a fool at all. When she married David, she told Blair exactly why. When she first came back, she told her family that she wanted to live her life the way she wanted. I think it's heart warming, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AddictedToSoaps Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 I don't think so. I absolutely love Addie right now and I'm glad that they're using her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
