Members R Sinclair Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 I'm sure there are several trailer parks willing to accept her with open arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 While this didnt do her any favors, I hardly think cheating on Tad is the end of Krystal. She's done alot worse and has jumped back. She's going to be the town pariah. No family, probably no friends. All she has is David and they arent a viable pairing considering this screams rebound and how they came about is revolting. She could use a few months on the backburner once things settle down.

Members Adam Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 Maybe Krystal will be let go purely for budget reasons. Bobbie Eakes must make a fairly decent wage...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kubla Khan Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 I hope not. Since Babe's death, I've found Krystal to be one of the most interesting characters to watch. I'm sure Adam will be delighted to hear the news of her breakup with Tad, and she will return to his orbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 Oh no I agree. Krystal has been very interesting to watch, for what she is. She no longer is being painted as this misunderstood saint as she had been for the longest time. Pratt isn't pulling any punches. She is flawed and layered. I love it. And I will love seeing her literally with nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xtr Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 I can't wait until JR lets Tad know what's been going on between Krystal and David. Tad and Krystal's marriage, which IMO is a ridiculous sham and one of the worst pairings ever, will finally be over. And this will be another thing that Charles Pratt has done right since he has taken over as headwriter. I think it's possible that Angie might not turn on her too much. Angie for the most part isn't really judgemental except for with David who she hated at first sight. I could still seeing her being friends with Krystal even though it's possible they won't be as close as they were now that Tad and Krystal are probably going to split up for good. And I think that Jesse probably isn't going to care too much one way or the other, but I don't see him acting very judgemental towards Krystal. I also think that Krystal will gradually make her way back to Adam, which IMO, is what needs to happen. I thought that Krystal and Adam were great together, and that they had great chemistry together. And unlike her and Tad they really actually loved each other. Hopefully Krystal will really apologize to Adam, if they do ever get back together and learn from this experience. Hopefully she will learn that this is what can happen, when you cheat on the person that you love with a self righteous hypocritical jerk, and then marry that jerk after he makes you choose between your child and the man that you really love. Stay with self righteous hypocrite Jerk for way too long, while he uses your child to control you. And watch yourself turn into June Cleaver, except that you are also the only person that provides financial support for your family while your hypocrite of a husband stays at home and plays with the kids. Including one that tried to kill you, and who you had to basically force him to take to therapy, because she really needed it. But according to your hypocrite husband, a child losing 3 mothers/mother figures and 1 father in less than two years, isn't a good enough reason to take them to therapy. Then watch your self righteous husband give you very little support after your oldest child dies and even asks you "Why are you crying?" after your child just died. And then cheat on him, one reason being because you never loved him in the first place. IMO, Tad and Krystal stunk up the show badly, I'm glad that they are going to be over soon.. And I think that Krystal is going to really hit rock bottom and be a bit of an outcast for a while. But I think that eventually she will get her life back together, quite possibly with Adam's help and hopefully make her way back to him. I think Bobbie Eakes has been doing a pretty good job in this storyline so far, and will continue to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 Im upset bc I loved them together and they were one of my favorites under MMT. I thought pairing them up again was one of the few good things B&E did and hate that they are ending. She blames David so thats why I think she might not turn on Krystal, but at the same time, Tad is her oldest friend. Angie saw what was happening and tried to stop Krystal and Krystal didnt listen. I can see her not wanting anything to do with her for betraying Tad but it could go either way. I dont really count Jesse as he hasnt had much to do with Krystal. He's only connected to her through Angie and Tad and without them, I dont see him caring one way or the other about her. They were horrendous together. This pairing is what made me hate Krystal and she went from being one of my favorites to a character I wanted off the show. She was horrible to him and he didnt deserve being tied down to her and all the crap she brought to him. I cringed at her turning the Chandler mansion into her trailer park fantasy complete with drunken truckers to party. Plus Adam lost his balls when he was with her. He was way too soft and came off as a pod. He has shown more life with Erica the past few months than he ever did while being bland and boring with Krystal. She grew up, acted more maturely and responsible and stopped being nasty ho, well at least till Tad left her for a few weeks. Its 2009. Whats wrong with being a stay at home dad. Gender roles have switched. The only reason he stopped working was bc he was shot in the chest and nearly died. He just found Kathy and he nearly lost her, Jenny and Krystal. He took a step back to slow down and enjoy life with his family and Krystal wasnt complaining bc she loved when he did that so he could spend more time with her. As far as the financial support, he doesnt need to work! The guy inherited the Orsini fortune. His family is well taken cared of. As for Tad being in denial about Kathy when it came to taking her to therapy after losing her most recent parent, I guess one could say the same about Krystal refusing to go see a grief counseler when that was suggested to her. Look what mess she's made of her life since failing to seek professional help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xtr Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 I loved Krystal and Adam together. I think that she was really herself when she was with him. I feel like she is not herself around Tad, and that she changed for the worse around him. Throwing the truckers ball and drinking moonshine is who Krystal is, it's who she's always been. And IMO, Adam didn't have a problem with that because unlike Tad he loved her for who she really is and didn't try to force her into who he wanted her to be. Also, I don't really like Adam and Erica together, because I don't see much chemistry with them, and I'm not real fond of Erica. Plus Adam grew up in the country, and was the son of a Coal miner, so he can relate to Krystal's background and where she is from on some level. I thought that Krystal had fire with Adam, she lost that fire with Tad, and I don't think that she matured with him. I think that she became someone that she is not. She is not June Cleaver, but I feel like that is who she became like, after she married Tad. Krystal was married to both Tad and Adam for about a year and she cheated on them both, so I guess she showed about the same amount of faithfulness to them. And Adam was a good husband to Krystal. He was good, and loving and faithful and kind. I don't see anything wrong with that. I know a lot of people felt like he lost his manhood around Krystal, but I felt like he was as a good of husband as he has ever been with her, and we got to see more of his softer side IMO, in a good way. I think that his good qualities helps keep him layered and complex, and his relationship with Krystal bought out a lot of these good qualites. Adam geninuely loved Krystal and she was geninuely in love with him. He didn't try to control her the way that Tad has. Tad has used Jenny as a weapon against Krystal to keep her away from Adam and to get her to act the way that he wants her to act. He browbeated her into doing what he wanted her to do, and he is not in love with her. He's comfortable with her, but he's not in love with her. And Krystal does not love him, if she did she wouldn't have kissed Adam as many times as she did during her and Tad's marriage if she really loved him. Plus she has admitted to David twice that she doesn't really love Tad. She basically said that what she had with Tad wasn't as passionate and strong as what she had with Adam. She also told David that she can't connect with Tad, the way that she can connect with him. She feels a stronger connection to David, the man who she used to despise and who prior to Babe's death she never claimed to be in love with. She feels closer to him than her own husband. IMO, that doesn't speak well to the type of relationship that she has with Tad. Also, the last time around when Krystal thought that Babe had died, she wasn't falling apart this badly. Because she was married to a man that she truly loved, who truly loved her, and who she had a connection with. Krystal wouldn't be addicted to drugs if she was still married to Adam. Because Adam would be the type of husband that she needs, and would protect her from David, if he came around her, trying to get closer to her. Krystal doesn't want Tad and she doesn't love him. Even if he was really in love with her, (which IMO, he isn't) she still doesn't want him and has never wanted him after she became involved with Adam. Also, I don't think there is anything wrong with being a stay at home dad, but Tad made that decision without consulting her. He gave away his business to Aidan and a source of their income without asking her how she would feel about that. And I'm not quite sure what happened to the Orseni fortune, but I don't think that Tad has had it anymore. Because if he did, he wouldn't have had to move Krystal in to Adam's home when Papel was after Jesse. During that time Krystal asked him why couldn't they hire security to protect her and Jenny. And Tad said "on my salary" basically indicating that he didn't make/have enough money to hire top notch security for them. And after The Comeback was destroyed Tad was talking about how they were fortunate that the insurance had come through and how that would hold them for a little while. I don't think that Tad has the Orseni fortune anymore. He basically made Krystal the sole breadwinner of the household, without asking her how she would feel about that. He didn't seem to care how she would feel about that, just like he doesn't care about her feelings when it comes to other stuff. I really don't think that Tad and Krystal loved each other. I do feel like their marriage was a sham, and I don't think that they have any chemistry together. I'm glad that they are over and think that they both should move on. Maybe Tad will end up with someone like Rebecca who IMO, would be a better match for him. JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cct Posted January 12, 2009 Members Share Posted January 12, 2009 Now here is a classic example of people being quick to hop on a bandwagon without seeing things through. Everyone complained when Tad and Krystal married last January under B&E. "Oh he doesn't love her." "She should be with Adam; should be at the trailer park; should be out of town." Boo hoo. Myself? I thought, "Well this could be a nice wrinkle." And hasn't it been? Now here we are, presumably at the end of this loveless marriage, and all it produced and I thought it was GREAT. For several reasons: 1. It humanized Krystal. We got to see her in a setting we hadn't seen her in before, caring for young children, trying her best at being a domestic housewife. 2. It revived Krystal. I love Krystal and Adam, but was tired of their ping-pong act. There is only so much back and forth that can be done in a relatively short amount of time. The same with JR and Babe. So Babe is killed and Krystal is muted by her marriage to Tad. Of course, she went back and forth with Adam even after she and Tad were married, but it wasn't the overkill it was before. 3. It gave Tad (and fans) TIME to grieve Dixie. No one is going to buy Tad with anyone else for a long time; however, the man still has a character to play. He has to have a "love" (or in this case "loveless") interest to remain on canvas with someone to talk to, esp. raising Jenny and Kathy. This was perfect; he and Krystal had always been friends. WE are two years out from those damn peanut butter pancakes. Tad has REBOUNDED (rebound?) and is free to Move On... The question is will the fans let him?

Members xtr Posted January 12, 2009 Members Share Posted January 12, 2009 For me it wasn't a nice wrinkle at all. I could not stand Tad and Krystal together one reason being because IMO, they don't have any chemistry together. And I also felt like it turned Krystal into someone that she is not. Krystal is not June Cleaver, she is woman who was a single mother for a long time and did whatever she had to do wrong or right to survive. She has basically lived by her own rules for a great deal of her life. That changed a little when she married Adam, but she still was her own person. IMO, the change of setting with Tad was not good for her because it went against who she was, and it just didn't fit her. I felt like she was boxed in with Tad, and IMO, their relationship was so phoney and ridiculous. She didn't love Tad, and IMO, they were not rootworthy as a couple, because they had no chemistry, because she married him to hold onto her child and because he forced her to choose between the man that she really loved and Tad. Yes, they had their friendship, but considering how they got together, the way that Tad treated her, who she became while she was him that wasn't good enough, IMO. Not even to make a temporary thing between them work and be believeable. As far as Adam and Krystal going back and forth, after they confessed their love for each other, and renewed their vows, I don't think that they did a whole lot of that before Adam found out that she cheated on him. I admit they did a lot of going back and forth after she separated from him and later divorced him, but from the time they renewed their vows until, the time he found out that she cheated on him they didn't do a lot of that. And I don't see them as being that simliar with JR and Babe and the way they constantly went back and forth. For the most part Adam and Krystal did have a pretty happy stable marriage, I thought that overall JR and Babe were very destructive together. I would rather have had Tad stay single for a while, raising his kids, other men have done it. Or maybe even become involved with Julia for a while, before they were ended because she was killed off. Or maybe even someone else. I do agree that he needs to move on. I can't stand his character but I know a lot of people care about him, and I do think that it's time that he finally moves on. Also, I am glad that Tad and Krystal have finally broken up, I don't think they should have never gotten together again, and I do believe that their marriage lasted for way too long. I think that this will end up being a very good thing for Krystal, and that even though she is going to hit rock bottom, she will slowly start to rebuild her life and come out of this stronger. JMO.

Members cct Posted January 12, 2009 Members Share Posted January 12, 2009 OH, I'm happy it's over too, now, XTR. I'm quite surprised it lasted as long as it did. I'm curious how B&E were planning to get them out of it, because they HAD to get out of it. We all knew it would never last. Just how long would it last, though? I'm not one of those people who have to have their couples together to enjoy my show (not saying you do; just saying). In fact, it is more delicious when I WANT them together and they come soclose and then not. Otherwise why watch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveFrame Posted January 13, 2009 Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 I hated Tad & Krystal together but I also hated Adam & Krystal together even more. I think Tad got it right when he gave her to David. The two of them deserve each other. Adam and Erica is where the real story is at. I just hope they don't go with a Erica & Krystal & Adam triangle.

Members R Sinclair Posted January 13, 2009 Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 Tad's been ruined for me over the last 10 years. I'll never forgive him for bullying Dixie to get an abortion because the pregnancy posed a risk to Dixie's heart. Granted, she wound up miscarrying, but still. And then, to turn around and KILL A MAN over Kate/Kathy? He's a hypocritical mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
