Members MichaelGL Posted March 10, 2009 Members Share Posted March 10, 2009 Gah I hope there's more to this Stacy character than what I saw today. I have hopes that maybe RC could pull a Douglas Marland pull a Angel Lange with Stacy? But only by the grace of God could I endure such a story with CH in the role. Everything else was fantastic and I loved how everything seemed to mesh so well today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted March 11, 2009 Members Share Posted March 11, 2009 Yep....remember Madame Delphina...or Bruce Bartlett (the guy who kidnapped Adriana)....they both had short-term contracts, so that they would be around to finish up the storylines they were involved with.

Members alexisfan07 Posted March 11, 2009 Members Share Posted March 11, 2009 Good point. Either way, I can't believe they left out Nora (if there's no version C)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DavidEvanSmith Posted March 11, 2009 Members Share Posted March 11, 2009 Between Blair's stabbing, the car crash histrionics and Stacy's ill-conceived "revelation episode", this episode was WAY too melodramatic for me. I wish they'd take some of these reveals a little more slowly, and hit the subtle button more often. Starr was particularly a hot tranny mess (two notches above 'hot mess') in this episode, and considering the writing, I can barely blame her for the overacting. Starr's general dialogue today: MY MOTHER WAS STABBED?! WHO WOULD STAB MY MOM?!?! AUNT DORIAN, WHY WOULD YOU SAY MY DAD STABBED MY MOM?! MY DAD WOULD TELL ME THE TRUTH IF HE STABBED MY MOM, I MEAN, HE TOLD ME HE THE TRUTH ABOUT HOW HE WAS PLANNING TO STEAL MY BABY!!! COLE WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT?! MATTHEW WAS IN THE CAR TOO?!?!?! Okay, so I'm paraphrasing a little, but this was all I was getting from Starr during the whole episode. TOO MUCH. There was so much screeching and wailing in this episode between Dorian, Starr, Marty, John, Bo, and Gigi, I just found myself laughing at it all. And I know soaps tend to use these catastrophic episodes to submit for Best Drama Emmy reels, but I REALLY hope they resist the urge with this episode. And it's a shame because the episodes around Nash's death were also melodramatic, but in the better way. This was just random messiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted March 11, 2009 Members Share Posted March 11, 2009 I agree. It's WAY too much. The pile-up (no pun intended) is not doing any of these stories any justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rhinohide Posted March 11, 2009 Members Share Posted March 11, 2009 This is a weird place for me. The lone dissenting voice amongst all the how bad is OLTL. But I have to say, today's show wasn't that bad. I loved all the parent/child scenes. My big problem? This is stuff that should happen ALL THE FUHREAKIN' TIME! JMO. Families should be interacting. Family drama should be a major part of every show. Not reserved for sweeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Southofnowhere Posted March 11, 2009 Members Share Posted March 11, 2009 It's called bad writing and producing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted March 11, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted March 11, 2009 Well yes it was. I was joking about the super strength. LOL I liked the Nora/Matthew/Bo/Michael scenes, especially the last scene when Michael and Bo kept looking at each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jinx_avery Posted March 11, 2009 Members Share Posted March 11, 2009 Some of the specifics have been iffy this week, but the overall tone of the show has improved. Yes, it's been overly melodramatic, however, I like that better than fearfully waiting for David Vickers to pop up and start pulling rubber chickens out of Blair's stab wounds or Moe and Noelle swinging by Matthew's hospital room to deliver a pie and a punchline.

Members Cheap21 Posted March 11, 2009 Members Share Posted March 11, 2009 Stacey is a loser. Really, she's stil pinign away for a guy that never looked at her over 12 years later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhinohide Posted March 11, 2009 Members Share Posted March 11, 2009 Too Funny! I do like when they inject comedy into the show, but so much of it has just been reduced to simple gags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted March 11, 2009 Members Share Posted March 11, 2009 Yes, clearly OLTL has been misusing David Vickers and not accurately portraying him as the dark, gritty antihero he truly is. A true story about David and Dorian would feature, say, a hepatitis scare, or Darfur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted March 11, 2009 Members Share Posted March 11, 2009 LOL, Vee. Maybe not so much "misused" as "rushed." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
