Members marceline Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 *sidesteps the rumble* I think what's happening here is a personality shift on the part of the show. RC has been on board a year minus the strike and now he's had time to make the show look the way he wants it too. He's apparently decided that he wants the show to have a camp factor. It sounds like its going to be a fairly consistent part of the the show. People who aren't interested in that kind of soap are going to chafe and re-evaluate whether they want to watch that kind of show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members leevo64 Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 ITA. We had a taste of it last year when Marcie had to disguise herself as a drag queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 And wasn't Nuns on the Run about that time too? Along with Nora and Lindsay rolling around on the floor at the Go Red ball. I know some of that was scab writing but that's a lot of camp/comedy/over the top stuff in a short time.

Members Kstaff Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 Is this RC or some of the last stuff Tomlin wrote before he left for Days? From what I understand, Tomlin is the King of Camp, second only to Reilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kstaff Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 How about me? I disagree with what you said, too. Does it have to be all or nothing? Is this what's known as a "dubious distinction?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vanguardian Posted September 1, 2008 Members Share Posted September 1, 2008 LOL! How long will it be until we see a portal to Hell showing up in Starr's closet? She gets pulled in by demons and it's up to Cole to get her out. Hmmm....where have I seen this before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members miajere Posted September 5, 2008 Members Share Posted September 5, 2008 I'm with you...I called this one over 6 months ago, when the Go Red was being played out for sweeps. I also called out Gigi during the same month as being a downhill character. He's not the worst writer, he just wasn't a guy that should've been head writing past the strike- not fired, just a new person appointed to sit second chair. I think his cleanup was good, but I noticed he cleaned the show up to the point in time that he probably started watching/writing. He writes how he thinks and the emotion is all gone. As for the positive comments- I took them for hope since we can't judge by what people don't do- his ride up until Christmas was a decent cleanup- but he has not one original thought in his file cabinet.

Members miajere Posted September 5, 2008 Members Share Posted September 5, 2008 when Andrea Evans returned with that ridiculous s/l I thought to myself- Passions is getting canceled. Maybe he wants to lure those numbers to OLTL. Make them think the magic of Passions can be seen on OLTL--- Didn't passions first air in the summer and picked up a multitude of loyal fans in OLTL's target demographic? As a person over 21- I'm obviously not in his target demographic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
