OLTL: Discussion for the week March 30

[Scotty]

Isn't it sad that Viki and Bo seem reduced to a grandma and grandpa who have nothing to do other than give advice to their 'grandkids' Gigi and Rex.

McPain. ha. This Jack is great.

Interesting show today, it is 4 different scenes of parent/child conversations, with the exception of Stacy and Schyler.

And how many times is the name Gigi said per episode? Its gotta be in the 50-100 range.

And news alert, i saw the beginning of a tear in Farah's eye when Viki hugged her.

Stacey/Sky (msp). I think I like them in scenes together. Stacey is one of those character who will eventually stop being evil, and I kind of look forward to that (hopefully OLTL doesn't use rape for once) while sort of enjoying the current evil. I don't watch OLTL every day, so I'm not as sick and tired of the troublemaking as I would be if I did.

Little Todd amuses me. The kid. Todd being a shamelessly "bad" father amuses me too.

[Scotty]

Maybe someone at ABC gets royalties every time they say the name Gigi.

Reminds me of the episode were Téa was trying to talk Todd into letting her represent him.... she kept saying "yet again" or something like that over and over again.....no for a second time, or anything like that....just the same line again, and again, and again.

This Jack is great.....if you look closely at him, he kind of looks like Roger Howarth a little in the face.

And why can't Viki be telling this stuff to Charlie.....I know that Moe has known Gigi longer, but still...Viki should be confiding in Charlie.

I like Stacy and Schyuler together. They will be a good couple eventually. Crystal Hunt is decent when she dials it down.

[Scotty]

You know, if TPTB wanted to, they could easily include Viki in a front burner storyline.

Since ABC is going to be doing recession type storylines.....why not have Viki back at The Banner again? They could have her dealing with the paper's declining circulation, and having to compete against Todd and The Sun.

I think this would work, because there have been several big name newspapers across the country that have either ceased or drastically scaled back production in recent months due to declining sales.

The minute I saw Moe, I thought the same thing!!! It is clear to me that Brian Kerwin is expensive or something. He is on 2 times a month. He may be another that is recurring but called contract. Its the only thing that makes sense.

This show is fighting so hard to be good and you can feel the push pull of the corporate side.

[rangethatrover]

STARR NO!!!! I don't want to see some 12 year old's flower!! Good god, man!

DITCH THIS CHICK- RECAST TIME. This is downright disturbing. And the girl has zero sexuality. These scenes are disturbing.

gross.

[leevo64]

I think Brian Kerwin's doing a theatre project also. The look on Todd's face when Zach walked in was priceless...

[Scotty]

Haha....well Kristen Alderson really is 17. She was born in 1991, and will turn 18 next month.

[Scotty]

Crap....ABC interrupted the closing credits of OLTL too, which sucks because on Friday's they always show the cast list, including day players and everything (which helps me with my episode counts). And no one ever includes them in the episodes posted on Youtbue.

And wow....they only interrupt about 20 seconds of GH. Imagine that.

[rangethatrover]

Well I'm not a fan of hers and her looks and acting style do her no favors as far as making her appear older and a "sexual creature".. its very odd watching her undressing down to her underwear.

I respect Ron/Frank for appreciating the show's history enough to let the audience watch kristen grow up before our eyes, but like Mendorra, it is sometimes best to cut your losses and move on.

[Heyou]

You know, I agree with you about watching her grow up on the show and not sorasing her character but my goodness, I don't want to see her stripping down. He shouldn't even be penning this storyline with Starr and her teacher; she's not doing it justice.

I'm so sick of this Stacy crap, it makes me wanna stop watching. Argh!

[SFK]

Re: Chahli, Brian Kerwin's been in London doing the West End premiere of August: Osage County. He's back in New York now so maybe we'll see more of him? Another OLTL alum, Phylicia Rashad, is about to take over the lead role of the matriarch in that play which is currently being played by Estelle Parsons. A very interesting bit of casting there.

[rhinohide]

Would you like me to catch them on Soapnet?
