Members Cheap21 Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 I couldnt beleive her today. Opal was VERY forgiving and understanding and told her what was at stake if Krystal didnt listen to her. First chance she gets, the ho runs off to go help her recent booty call. I hope Opal comes down on her big time. Theres alot more that Krystal can do with her mouth as she once demonstrated on the doctor that gave Babe her pregnancy results back in 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alwaysAMC Posted January 9, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 I'm siding with Krystal a bit - I don't necessarily think she's being this crazy slut. Have they even slept together? Maybe once - but not like all the time. And the poor woman IS being drugged. She did just lose her daughter she was best friends with. Her husband did just leave her. Now yes, she could show more concern for Tad when he went missing. She could try harder to avoid David. But I understand why she can't help from seeing him and being around himi, as he does have Babe's blood running through him. And again, she's being drugged. But girl really should learn not to drink anymore damn milk! Today I forgive her for leaving as JR was at Wildwind and she knew that meant something was wrong. Why wouldn't she investigate? I think after Dixie, Tad needs to learn his lesson with David AND not listening to his wives' needs and leaving them when they're hurting. This is a recurring theme with Tad and his love life.

Members Cheap21 Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 Krystal has slept with David at least 2 times already. She's nasty and as they say, once a slut, always a slut. She wasnt drugged up when she did have sex with him either so that cant be used to explain why she did it. I defended her for the longest time but Im done. Theres no excuse for what she's been doing. She has the entire Martin clan to lean on. JR was the closest person to Babe and he has offered himself and Lil Adam to Krystal for support and she didnt take advantage of them. Everyone warned her about David. Angie, Joe, Jake, JR, Colby, Tad and even Adam. David himself swore to get revenge on Krystal for keeping Babe from him, yet everything has gone in one ear and out the other I didnt mention this but the other day she said she didnt want Tad to come back. What a disgusting thing to say. He nearly gets himself killed trying to save his brother and child and she says something like that? She just lost her own child and would do anything to have been given the chance to save her. Krystal is working my last nerve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Adam Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 Well at least Pratt can't be accused of writing Krystal out of character I think he's hitting all cylinders with his writing for Krystal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 Uh, sorry, with all do respect, what world are you living in? Only once? Is it ok if your significant other cheated on you only once? It was only once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kubla Khan Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 OK - that word - slut - is officially overused here. Why? Because every character on a soap opera is a slut. To be a soap opera character, you must be a slut. Tad "the Cad" Martin screwed his girlfriend's mother as a teenager. While married to Dixie, he screwed Liza. While loopy on drugs, he screwed Leslie Coulson. He then screwed Krystal when she married to Adam. Oh, but there's more! He screwed Simone, then screwed Krystal, and then screwed Liza within days of each other. Yes. Erica Kane has been married 47 times, and with how many men!? Her face is the only part of her body that is tight. Kendall Hart Slater has jumped into bed with Ryan, Zach, JR, MichaelCambias (one word), Aidan, Jonathan, and god knows who else since she's been back in town. She even had a makeout session with Dr. Dave, despite the fact that they share a sibiling. She screwed Aidan because she thought her hubby was dead. Le sigh. Amanda Dillon...good lord that girl gets around. JR, Jamie, Jonathan, David, Jake... And Ryan? Kendall, Greenlee, Gillian (screwed her while she was married to Jake, who was in a warzone, too), Liza (two minutes after Gillian died, when Liza was married to Adam, and got her knocked up), Mia, Annie...!? See my point. Everyone on this soap opera is a dumb ho. Now, to get to your post... Grief, in the real world, doesn't operate under the fixins of a neat, tidy little bow. Tad, frankly, has been an insensitive ass since Babe died. I believe he told her basically that she needed to "snap out of it." She's incredibly vulnerable and screwed up...and can only find comfort in the man who happens to be the father of her dead daughter. Irrational? Perhaps. But what I like about this story is that Krystal seems to know what an [!@#$%^&*] David is, and she seems to know how twisted their relationship is, but she finds herself going back for more because he's the one grieving for his dead daughter, too. I find the story so interesting because of the dynamics at play. And if we're going to point fingers at Krystal for being a ho and giving blowjobs, then we might as well line up the whole damned cast behind her.

Members DavidEvanSmith Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 Cheap pretty much said it all from where I sit, but dang, was Tad supposed to let his brother and son stay missing in the Congo or wherever they are because Krystal doesn't know how to process her grief? Yeah, she's grieving, but how much worse would it be if Tad ALSO had no idea if his child was alive or dead, and he didn't know because he had to sit home and hold Krystal's hand. How long before the resentment and hostility alone would kill this marriage without David's interference? I have never bought Krystal and Tad's marriage and I feel like all along it was established that Krystal was "settling" for peaceful friendship with Tad over passionate but dysfunctional actual LOVE with Adam. I've never seen the love from Krystal, and Tad should never have accepted a half-hearted relationship. He deserves better than Krystal ever offered him.

Members Kubla Khan Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 I would agree with that. Krystal and Tad never had love. They decided to settle down and place nicey-nicey house. Their relationship could not handle such a death like this, and it ripped their marriage off its hinges and has exposed it for being nothing more than essentially a relationship based on what made sense at the time.

Members DavidEvanSmith Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 I do want to clarify that I like the storyline... LOL. I agree about grief and MY issue isn't with the fact that Krystal's not behaving rationally, because that's what makes sense about the story. But it IS highlighting the reasons that Krystal and Tad should never have been together, and I'm glad this is what's tearing the couple apart. I'm glad that Pratt understands that Krystal/Tad don't work and I'm glad he's working hard to make this a major BREAK. I notice a definite shift in the storytelling. It seemed like Pratt was very committed to playing his two dynamo characters, Erica & Adam together, but he seemed to realize somewhere along the way that the fans would prefer Erica/Jack (because Jack's also fallen off the map since he's been wrapped up with Carmen), and so this clear shift to phase Carmen out, bring Erica/Jack back into each others' circles, break Krystal from Tad to pull her toward David and Adam again and free Tad up for a better relationship is ALL in the right direction, as far as I'm concerned.

Members Kubla Khan Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 And can I say for the record that I really liked today's show. Kate Hall did a nice job. I liked the balance; how the screwed up Wildwind antics were played against the warm/touching Brot/Taylor scenes today. Beth Ehlers rocked the crap out of this episode, IMO. Well done! Seconded. I'm really glad that Pratt sees the value of the Opal character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 Bianca mentioned Essex, CT today. Do you think the show will be going on location? The town has a website and I can see the show doing something there. It seems like a nice place to have a wedding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
