OLTL: Dropped stories


Recommended Posts

Rex still has his old loft? I thought when he moved in with Gigi, he gave up that place. It wasnt too long ago that he was too poor to afford Shane a Christmas gift, yet he still had a place that he wasnt even living in?

Welcome to Soap Economics, where a man can work part-time as a bartender and still afford a studio apartment more spacious, more lavishly furnished, than any coldwater, roach-infested dump you'd be lucky to find in any major, metropolitan city.

Well, to be fair they did mention several times that UV was doing very well after Gigi got the Plain White T's to perform. So I'm sure that upped his finances...plus the Buchanans gave him a boatload of money when they hire him to hunt down David Vickers.

Didn't Sarah convince the Plain White Ts to perform as a favor to Rex, who knew they were Gigi's favorite band?

And are you meaning that Rex reacquired this loft after getting his finances back together?

OLTL shouldn't have to work this hard at building obstacles for couples. It's just awkward.

I don't know....I'm sure Rex just kept the loft the entire time. It's not like he had to pay for Gigi's rent or anything. After all, it is Viki's property and I'm sure that she pays all the bills.

I don't remember the Sarah part about that. But it seems like Rex was thanking someone for playing at UV, because it helped bring in the bucks....maybe I am thinking of another group instead of the T's.

I do remember that UV was supposedly flush after the Ts performed, but I seemed to recall Rex called in a favor with off-screen Sarah, through her music connections, to give Gigi this surprise gift of their performance.

But the issue that still doesn't work, since Cheap brought it up, was if he kept this loft while he couldn't afford a video game and all his credit cards were maxed out and being declined left and right, why wouldn't he just give up the loft since he was living with Gigi and free up the money he was using the pay rent on a space he wasn't using or planning to use again?

And how did Stacy's Stripper Pimp even find her there, if Rex hasn't used the place in months and he didn't even really know who Rex was?!

Well, that's what happens when you advertise on every men's room wall in town. "For a good time, call Stacy! Fourteen million horny sailors on shore leave CAN'T be wrong!"

For that matter...

How did Roxy have the sense to print out an instruction manuel for unhooking the life support machine? How was John McBain able to just walk out of jail without a security camera or guard seeing him? How is it a conflict of interest for Rachel to be Cole's counselor, when it wasn't for Nora to prosecute him? How did Marcie get her teaching lincense back? How was Schuyler able to stroll out of the hospital with a bag of Stacy's blood? Why are Starr and Cole not even in school? How were Markko and Langston able to chat online while at school? Why did Gigi just let Shane walk away after he basically called her a slut, and why didn't she ask him about school? And how is Cole able to just walk in and out of rehab as he pleases?

Too many questions....not enough answers.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
