Members detroitpiston Posted June 19, 2009 Members Share Posted June 19, 2009 I kinda hope Todd beats the s.hit out of Cole. LOL at Tea congratulating Blair on being a Grandma Rex and Sami Stacy can FOAD. I'm officially rooting for Gigi & Sky to get together.

Members MichaelGL Posted June 19, 2009 Members Share Posted June 19, 2009 Ok episode today. Liked just about everything except Starr/Cole, and Stacy. Thursday's episode was total filler to me, no doubt about it. I'm wondering, would Gigi be so approving of Rex posing as another man to get into the country club, or would she not go along with it? I'm trying to figure this out, bc it seems to me that the writers are trying illustrate that Rex can be his old self (the one that's more of a con and etc.) when around Stacy, but with Gigi he can't in some ways.

Members leevo64 Posted June 19, 2009 Members Share Posted June 19, 2009 I actually think it shows that Stacy's so immature that she's driving Rex to be immature as well. I am thinking back to when Shane had the stomach ache from the junk food and Gigi had to come over and take charge. The scenes today seemed less serious and more about the light humor, but I definitely think the writers are trying to show that Gigi is the one for Rex and Stacy's just bad news. Gigi would never pose to be anyone anywhere - look how hard it was for her to try to put the moves on Kyle. For Stacy, you have Schuyler who always attempts to be a good example even though he's a complete screw-up. I think Stacy likes the adventure and trouble and it brushes off on Rex, because let's face it - four years ago Stacy and Rex would have been a match made in heaven. But I don't think the writers are trying to sell Stacy as the way for Rex to let his hair down. You raised a really interesting point; I never would have thought to analyze that scene, but it's really fascinating to think about the subtext going on.

Members DRW50 Posted June 19, 2009 Members Share Posted June 19, 2009 Todd's good at terrorizing people who don't fight back, but this time I'd rather see Cole put him in a coma. Then Tea will weep at his bedside, offcamera. I see what you mean, leevo64, about the writing showing Stacy make Rex more immature, but even when he was with Gigi, he was childish. He berated Dorian for not giving him a video game system, called her a b*tch, then showed little gratitude even when she finally gave him one. He's a jerk almost all the time, but I guess only when he's with Stacy is this behavior supposed to be objectionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members leevo64 Posted June 19, 2009 Members Share Posted June 19, 2009 Berating Dorian for zbox was because she had already bought more than one and she knew he really wanted to get one for Shane. When she gave it to him, they both knew they had come to an understanding. I remember Dorian saying something like "this changes NOTHING between us." But yeah, there have been moments where Rex has been really stupid, I just can't remember too many while he was with Gigi. Adriana, on the other hand... I say kill Stacy and bring back Bitchy Bangs for a REAL triangle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 20, 2009 Members Share Posted June 20, 2009 They are playing this off as romantic but Cole's going to jail. I think its selfish of him to ask Starr to marry him as he's about to go to jail. She's too young and its not right for him to basically ask her to put her life on hold for him like that I cant stand to watch Rex anymore. this stuff is painful. Talk about character assasination. He is the one being manipulated and lied to, so you'd think he'd get some sympathy but I feel nothing for him but disgust. He truly is an idiot and I cant beleive how stupid he has become. Its like a completely new character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhythmchyc Posted June 20, 2009 Members Share Posted June 20, 2009 He's become a heroine that you want to see some psycho tie up in a chair and terrorize for weeks. Basically, Lily on Y&R. I think this is because TPTB are incapable of manipulating the "internal reveal" as masterfully as they used to. Now, it seems many characters they've developed on soaps have become utter dunces and wouldn't know that the sun rises in the east and there are 50 states in the union. How can you sympathize with an idiot who's just asking to be victimized? Rex should never have invited Stacy to stay with him. It's sacrificing the character for the sake of plot and it's a shame.

Members Sapounopera Posted June 20, 2009 Members Share Posted June 20, 2009 Cole & Starr: still unwatchable. Starr is ten times worse than Y&R's Lily for me. I love Todd but I am bored with his drama every single day. Fish is adorable Layla is a goddess. I want to see more of her. Gigi is prety fun outside Rex and Stacy's orbit. Nothing interesting in Markko and Langston. Reminder to TPTB: Viki IS OLTL, don't forget that please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 REG is ok but Tika is the pretty Williamson. Fish :wub: :wub: The Viki & Jess bedroom scenes shoulda taught TPTB that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 Being an actor myself, I've had to share the stage and scenes in general with some pretty bad people occasionally but never a block of wood. I wonder if Tika could give me some pointers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members oltl1 Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 I agree. At first I didn't like the whole valley girl trying to become an actress thing but as the years past I've gotten use to her and she has grown on me. I like her chemistry with Christian and wish that the show gives her a storyline. If not then get rid of her. This show has to many isolated characters so either work them into the fabric or cut them lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
