Members JONNYSBRO Posted November 10, 2008 Members Share Posted November 10, 2008 The thing about it is how Malone/Gottlieb made that rape so ingrained in our mind. It was the most graphic, brutal rape ever shown on daytime. She was totally gang raped. The scenes were Todd spun Marty in a chair, tormented her, taunted her, and put a sweatband in her mouth as he raped her. Then he was smiling and laughing as his frat bros did it. I mean way way different the Luke/Laura when the lights went down. That rape scene was so graphically disturbing. It was scary, frightening, and horrifyingly bad. I kept thinking though if Roger Howarth had been in those sex scenes with Susan Haskell, how much more disturbing would it be or is it the same because it is the same character? Roger/Susan in a sex scene then trying to contrast that to when Todd raped Marty and the scary look on her face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted November 10, 2008 Members Share Posted November 10, 2008 Yes. And for those "Rape ME Todd" sickos, downright enthralling. I, for one, will never be able to shake the image of weasely Roger Howarth Todd. Some women get off on that and have praying for a "love making" scene between RHTodd and SHMarty. I think Trevor being the more sophisticated version of Todd in terms of look and carriage definitely softened the ick/appalling factor of this s/l.

Members Cat Posted November 10, 2008 Members Share Posted November 10, 2008 I don't know. I was still shocked by the shot of TSJ's nekkid back going up-and-down over SH. If it had been RH, I think I would have been even more disturbed. Especially with all the flashbacks they used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members miajere Posted November 10, 2008 Members Share Posted November 10, 2008 I was disturbed period. I think TSJ has been a wonderful recast in making me believe he is Todd- the actor association doesn't mean much to me. AS silly as this sounds- for the past few years I've written off RH's version of Todd and accepted this form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted November 10, 2008 Members Share Posted November 10, 2008 It would be even more disturbing but wouldnt happen as RH wouldnt be down for this if he was in the role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SalemPlace Posted November 10, 2008 Members Share Posted November 10, 2008 Does anyone know if the scenes for the rape are up on Youtube? I didn't watch back then and tried finding the scenes but didn't have any luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted November 10, 2008 Members Share Posted November 10, 2008 It's disturbing no matter who's in the role. It's sick on so many levels, and seeing people enjoying this, and I don't care if this offends, is disturbing on so many levels. It boggles the mind that people can enjoy watching Marty getting raped all over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
