OLTL: Discussion for the Week of September 29th, 2008

[Toups]

Jen!!!! I remember how she was so hated. LOL

[daysfan]

Yeah, as much as I love the whole Rex/Gigi story, there are some continunity errors in it. Like how Shane is supposedly ten, but Rex didn't come to Llanview until 2002, and also the Iraq War didn't start until 2003, where as it was said thats where Brody headed out to when Gigi was pregnant, which was in 1998.

[Toups]

I caught that too.

Unless, Shane was sorased. Soap opera timelines are always screwy.

[Ms. Chandler Quartermaine]

Daysfan....IA with everything you said, this whole storyline is just not making sense or lining up...the writers seriously sould have done there homewrok on the storyline THEY created b/f they put this crap together....the ages and timeline is not making sense at all, and I totally don't get the army thing it makes no sense. I must have missed a war or something lol.

[daysfan]

True, and I can deal with it because Ron's really made it such a great story once you get past the major continunity issues.. Its nothing like Elvis Jr. falling in love with Sami Brady(who was an adult and played by Alison Sweeney when he was born) on Days.

[Toups]

"Which one of these eight men is your biological father?"

Choose Snoop Dogg!

LOL!! Yeah. The DAYS timeline is the worst!

[DrewH]

He's 10. I could see what she's saying though. Think about it. In 1998, yes emailing and cell phones were around, but I know I didn't have access to either at this time. I was 10 1998, so it's not a surprise I didn't have a cell phone. But I know my older cousins, who were around 15 or 16, which is what Rex and Gigi would have been age-wise, they didn't have cell phones either. Back then, most teenagers had pagers rather than cell phones. Cell phones didn't become a big thing for all teens to have until like 2000 and forward.

[DrewH]

In regards to Brody going to war when Gigi was pregnant. Do we know that he actually went to war when Gigi was pregnant with Shane, or did he just enlist? Because if he just enlisted, then it's believable. Brody could've enlisted in 1998, right out of high school.

Mitch Laurence is so Rex's daddy, making Jessica and Rex siblings!

[daysfan]

I'm assuming he went to war, because didn't Brody's mother say he died not too long after Brody left? Maybe I have my facts wrong though.

[All My Shadows]

This game show thing is ridiculous and some of the stupidest [!@#$%^&*] I've ever seen, but JPL and IK are great! "Tick tick, Rox, who's my daddy!?"

[daysfan]

The Roxy and Rex conversation was the highlight of the whole thing! "I never slept with David Vickers...the man. Well, not that I slept with the dog either."

[DrewH]

Rex is a dumbass. Why would he say Bo? Sure, Bo's like a surrogate father to him, but I'm pretty sure Colin asked for his biological daddy, didn't he?

[Toups]

Yeah, he has to be. Who else could Roxy be so afraid of. Even if Mitch is Rex's father, he won't be siblings with Jessica.

That was hilarious.

[DrewH]

If you say so. Tomlin may have crushed those plans.

[rhinohide]

My Natalie made Tess cry. Best part of today's show. But I kind of liked the whole thing for a change.
