Members MarkH Posted May 15, 2009 Members Share Posted May 15, 2009 I cannot deny it. Though it worries me, I'm excited as hell. So, yes, I represent the worst kind of fan. I'll lap this up with a spoon. He's the actor who plays "Luke" on General Hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Leia Posted May 15, 2009 Members Share Posted May 15, 2009 I've been screaming this at my tv set every day that I have to endure Tyra and Neil. I don't mind Tyra. I think she could be a sex vixen for the young 20 something set but I'm at a loss as to why they are bothering with Tyra and Neil when the real soapy story worth revisiting is Olivia and Neil.

Members MarkH Posted May 15, 2009 Members Share Posted May 15, 2009 Interesting. I agree. I think villainizing Tyra (sorry, Y&RWorldTurner, but you think I'm "out there" anyway) can improve that tale...and I do agree that Olivia and Neil would be much more interesting. I think, to energize that, we need a "spoiler". Gil, the cop, is a man of the people...working class...like Nathan. (Nathan started out as Kong, the bad guy, but still...). So I could see Olivia being attracted to him. Once that gets rolling, then having Neil experience jealousy.. Of course, for me, always, when Neil FINALLY finds happiness and TRUE love...well...then I'm calling for another "back from the dead" plot. I'm incorrigible...

Members Sylph Posted May 15, 2009 Members Share Posted May 15, 2009 I think any soap would wish you as a fan. You are such a huge Y&R fan that I believe there is absolutely nothing that will stop you from watching it. That's not bad at all; however, sometimes you are too harsh on other soaps whereas you excuse Y&R each time they make a mistake. It should worry you: such stories can be too much, they can oversaturate the viewer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Leia Posted May 15, 2009 Members Share Posted May 15, 2009 If you are incorrigible, I'm afraid of what that indicates about me because I feel that would be the perfect time for Drucilla to reappear. With memory loss of course to explain where she's been for the last 2 years. Jane Doe aka Drucilla would have a brain tumor that requires Olivia to conduct extensive research for a doctor who could cure her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted May 15, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 15, 2009 Why do you keep bringing that character up? It's obvious he was used as Tyra's love interest only in a few eps to get Neil's jealousy but that was immediately dropped. The writers aren't investing a lot of time in various contract characters, so why do you think they would in Gil? He will remain just a background character. I believe any fan would ask for that plot, no matter if it's the millionth rewrite. There aren't that many people that don't want Dru back.

Members Cat Posted May 15, 2009 Members Share Posted May 15, 2009 And it's not the first time Cricket has attracted men. Michael Baldwin, anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members S&BFanForLife Posted May 15, 2009 Members Share Posted May 15, 2009 I agree On one hand, I'm excited about this story. On the other hand, I'm like "ok, enough already. Let's move forward." It's becoming too much of a crutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dm. Posted May 15, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 15, 2009 Hahaha... that gets old so quickly... When remembering everything that happened, why did he have to have a smirk on his face? He is supposed to feel sorry, not to laugh. Or is that his sad face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted May 15, 2009 Members Share Posted May 15, 2009 Because Gil is ON CANVAS, and he seems interesting. There is a lot going on behind the eyes, in his face. Rather than create a new male, why not build one they already have? He doesn't need to be on contract...he can be strong recurring as the romantic spoiler for Olivia. But, our joint wish for Dru back -- and willing to accept it any way we can get it -- shows that WE ARE THE PROBLEM. I do understand that. We divorce these shows from any semblance of reality, and we help engender the eye rolls that help to kill this genre. That said, I still want it to happen! Wicked little kitty! Taking this serious for just a moment: Don't you feel, in a very real way, he has? At least...what Cane has hitherto represented. Don't you think this is a . I'm going to say (Cane Must Die) = (Cane Must Cease To Be What He Has Been). If you accept that equality, I think your wish . If you're REALLY SAYING "Daniel Goddard must be fired"...well...sorry...I can't help you. Although it stands to reason that the current story twist no longer ...and that is a marker of contractual vulnerability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BadZoe Posted May 15, 2009 Members Share Posted May 15, 2009 I haven't had time to be on top of this thread this week and so was unspoiled and delightfully surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted May 15, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 15, 2009 I never said that he's a bad character, I just wanted to explain that the writers don't recognize his character. The possibilities are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
