Members WillenFan21 Posted October 5, 2008 Members Share Posted October 5, 2008 From: http://www.daytimeconfidential.com/2008/10...-light-spoilers Olivia and Natalia...In Love?!: Over the past few weeks, rumors have been running rampant that Olivia and Natalia will be daytime's newest lesbian couple. A trusted source revealed this weekend that the rumors are true. In a recent Soap Opera Digest interview, Crystal Chappell (Olivia) revealed her new storyline would be unusual. As a fan of soaps, Crystal says the story will be unlike anything "anybody's ever seen before." I know I haven't seen any highly religious women turn gay in my 20 years of watching soaps.

Members Ms. Chandler Quartermaine Posted October 5, 2008 Members Share Posted October 5, 2008 ^ If your referring to daytime, I really dont see how this is Un-Original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members detroitpiston Posted October 5, 2008 Members Share Posted October 5, 2008 Maybe un-original was the wrong word, but it's obvious they are only doing this to one up AMC. And sorry, but I don't buy Natalia or Olivia(well maybe a little bit for Olivia) as lesbians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members leevo64 Posted October 5, 2008 Members Share Posted October 5, 2008 This screams of desperation. They are REALLY grasping now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted October 5, 2008 Members Share Posted October 5, 2008 I bet Wheeler is trying to use this as some shock tactic to get viewers, and like always, it will flop miserably in her face. Poor Crystal Chappell, she should've left this shithole when she had the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WillenFan21 Posted October 5, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 5, 2008 I don't get why they are using Olivia though. She's always whored around with men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AMCGio83 Posted October 5, 2008 Members Share Posted October 5, 2008 not gonna happen P&G doesn't go for that kind of thing and if it does happen it would be out of character for Olivia. Now Shane, that's a character they can gay up with sexy results:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chris B Posted October 5, 2008 Members Share Posted October 5, 2008 This does just seem incredibly random like everything else on GL these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sungrey Posted October 5, 2008 Members Share Posted October 5, 2008 If I were writing Guiding Light, I'd have had Natalia and Frank slowly fall for each other. This "Frank can't get a date" story is getting reaaaaaaaalllly old quickly. Instead, we get Kreizman, Hurst, Wheeler and company pulling something out of their asses once again. Jesus. Can't SOMEONE in Cincinnati veto this storyline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UKBoi Posted October 5, 2008 Members Share Posted October 5, 2008 Totally ridiculous. Olivia has been the biggest ho in Springfield and Natalia is a devout catholic, how are we meant to believe this? Especially considering not that long ago they hated each other and were fighting over Gus. What really irks me about GL right now is that there doesnt seem to be any long term planning going on at all...I agree with sungrey, Natalia and Frank slowly falling for each other would be a far nicer storyline, and then they could have them as the stable couple in the background during lots of other storylines. If they wanted to do a gay storyline with lesbians, why not bring back Marah and do it with her? Explain that her previous actions were all as a result of trying to live up to Reva's reputation? Or SORAS Clarissa a little and do it with her like AMC did with Bianca. This just reeks of desperation. It's like GL has truly lost any morsel of identity and is grasping on to whatever little shred of hope it might have in reinventing itself, and failing. I would LOVE to see CBS decide "You know what? This is the longest running drama in television history. There could be a lot of power behind this brand." And put some SERIOUS bucks into it, totally overhaul it (even keeping the current production model but doing it on a bigger scale) and giving it a year to garner ratings. Force its affiliates to air it in a decent timeslot, try and buy it off of P&G since they seem to have lost all interest in it...if it fails, at least it will go out with a little dignity. ABC is making serious efforts to make its soaps appealing to a wider audience, they're realising the potential in great daytime dramas and trying to ensure their longevity, even if their attempts are a little misguided...I would love to see GL get some sort of last chance at life.

Members Greg's GL Posted October 5, 2008 Members Share Posted October 5, 2008 ICAM. Great post. This is just another reason why I don't watch Ellen's "cutting edge" GL any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
