Members You're Soaking in it Posted June 15, 2009 Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 I must have missed that. Then again, I'm pretty sure I've missed every issue of SID ever published... so you got me there. Ironically, this is the same head writer who probably solidified Budig's decision to leave again. When Pratt assumed the reins, it really seemed as if her place was set in stone: firmly in Ryan's orbit. Maybe nobody realizes that Greenlee, in fact, committed suicide when she drove off that ledge... On that subject, Pratt gave her about the most ridiculous exit I've seen for a departing star. Woman in a wedding dress and a leather jacket riding a motorcycle flies off a cliff to a mysterious demise? I guess the bright side is that she'll probably at least be an urban legend around Pine Valley... So, yeah, what comes out of Pratt's mouth is far from sacred... I'm sure you've heard about his other interviews. That said, I'm going to go with the other sentiments on here: Greenlee's not that pertinent to the canvas at this time. No disrespect intended to Budig; I was happy about her return and think she's great. But, thanks to some misguided writing / incessant need to tie her to Cameron Mathison, her year-long stint brought into its home stretch a wimper and a screech. Her last memorable scene involved something that people swear was a thong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jams1234 Posted June 15, 2009 Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 I get where you're coming from and I agree kind of. I'm a rabid RB/Greenlee fan, she is one of my all time favs(20+ years of watching)...so /I/ always see a need for her. But I agree the writing and Cam pairing were way off. She was never wrote the right way after SS took over and then her return. I'll always see Greens as that feisty little bitch(that I loved), that got what she wanted, others watch out, or be damned.

Members R Sinclair Posted June 15, 2009 Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 The original Greenlee was most definitely a slut. Secretly videotaping her and Scott having sex -- AND THEN "accidentally" leaving it in the VCR for Scott's then-girlfriend Becca to see it? Then going after Ryan, but using Leo as a sex buddy until she can get Ryan? This was all 1999-2000 Greenlee. It wasn't until Richard Culliton came in 2001 that he made Greenlee Erica Kane, Jr. and tried to make her and Leo the focal point of AMC. Even my mother used to always groan: "Sex for sale!" whenever 1999-2000 Greenlee came on. ETA: What is so special about this Gina Tognoni woman?

Members jams1234 Posted June 15, 2009 Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 Sorry no, Like I said Greenlee is not nor was she ever a slut JMO. Everything you mentioned falls under what I said before she set her sights on what she wanted................. and got it. Greenlee (& Leo) was front and center way before RC came back to AMC, his tenure was short and has little to do with Greenlee/Leo.??? Although IMO he did write Greens the best.

Members Cheap21 Posted June 15, 2009 Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 IA. Id hardly call Greenlee a slut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jams1234 Posted June 15, 2009 Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 I know I've never got a slutty vibe from Greenlee & I'd never call her a slut. I'd call her some other things (actually I already did) but not slut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted June 15, 2009 Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 Write off Kendall, write off Greenlee. Bring two completely new, fresh, awesome characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted June 15, 2009 Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 Sorry no. How does using sex to get what you set your sights on disqualify you from being a slut? Within her first year she was with Scott, Ryan and Leo. Three men in 12 months? Undoing a fur coat to reveal herself in her bra and panties IN A DAMN MAUSOLEUM?!? Yeah. Totally not slutty. Greenlee and Leo were NOT front and center before Culliton. Nixon & Passanante focused on Hayley/Mateo/Raquel in 1999 and Ryan/Gillian/Jake in 2000. Greenlee and Leo were supporting players in Bianca's coming out story until 2001 when Passanante & Conforti broke them up at their engagment party. Then in 2001, when Ripa and Consuelos left shortly after Culliton started writing, that's when Greenlee and Leo went front and center with the whole Crazy Laura storyline and had been there all the way up until Leo's death. Regardless, the character is not needed. By 2003 she became redundant. By 2005 she was watered down and I was glad she left town. Don't get me started on the last incarnation. I keep forgetting she was even on the show, and she's only been off for 4 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MTSRocks Posted June 15, 2009 Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 Thanks. Stunning INDEED. Three men in 12 months hardly qualifies one as a slut. Well, to me it doesn't LoL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 15, 2009 Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 Early Greenlee was not a slut based on sleeping around, but she was obsessed with sex. All she cared about was bedding Scott. Then she became obsessed with Ryan, and the sex was a big part of their relationship. He used her as a cheap lay. She went crazy when she realized how little he thought of her (which is yet another reason why Rylee were a horrible couple). Later on sex wasn't as important to her. Greenlee became so cold, and so shrill, I had a hard time believing she ever enjoyed anything with anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Leia Posted June 16, 2009 Members Share Posted June 16, 2009 She would rock the role of Victoria Newman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted June 16, 2009 Members Share Posted June 16, 2009 Uhm yeah actually it does, it was referenced ONSCREEN that Greenlee slept with the football team in high school. I always find it ironic when Greenlee fans bash Kendall and call her a slut when Greenlee is probably the biggest one next to Babe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
