Members Doyen Posted June 17, 2009 Members Share Posted June 17, 2009 It's been wall to wall Cole and Starr for the last 2.5-3 years. It's amazing that I've continued to watch, despite how their really bad Degrassi saga has taken over the show. Cole needs to stay in jail for the next year and Starr needs to be shipped off to boarding school. Seriously. They got their kid back. Now enough is enough. BTW, I also wanna say that Starr Manning has become a great disappointment. When she was Jack's age, I figured that by the time she was this age, she'd be a deliciously troubled, off color, sarcastic, witty, hell on wheels bandit who was endessly entertaining (sorta like Darlene Connor on Roseanne)...but puberty actually ruined her character. She instead became a boring, annoying, dippy, stale little ingenue. Blah. Recast and rewrite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted June 17, 2009 Members Share Posted June 17, 2009 OLTL is its own worse enemy. Of the younger quad, Cole and Starr are played by the weakest actors. Yet they are on constantly. They get decent enough stories, but they suck to high heaven. While Markko and Langston who are played by the most talented actors are afterthoughts and get limited airtime. ABC simply cannot appreciate or utilize talent. Look at how Elizabeth Henderickson and Billy Miller were dumped by AMC and went on to be become the stars of the younger set on Y&R.

Members Cat Posted June 17, 2009 Members Share Posted June 17, 2009 Um, yeah! I was ready to jump in this bandwagon two years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted June 17, 2009 Members Share Posted June 17, 2009 With summer coming in about 2 minutes, do you really think that's going to happen anytime in the near future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 17, 2009 Members Share Posted June 17, 2009 Starr is a disappointment, but the writing for all young women on OLTL is a disappointment. So is the writing for most teen characters. Starr and Cole are boring but I'd probably take boring over offensive, which usually sums up most of the stories with Stacy and Todd.

Members MichaelGL Posted June 17, 2009 Members Share Posted June 17, 2009 I don't know, I think the problem mostly for me are the actors. I can't help but to think if there were more capable and well-liked actors in the role a majority of us would be saying something totally different about Starr and Cole. RC likes to rotate different characters around with airtime. One moment Jared, Natalie, Viki, are seen Charlie on multiple days of the week, a few months afterwards (most likely after a sweeps month) they are barely seen. However I have to say, I haven't really seen that occur with Todd, Starr, and Cole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 17, 2009 Members Share Posted June 17, 2009 I think the stories with Starr and Cole are all so heavy, you'd have to be a young acting genius to make them palatable. This show only sees drama as constant pain and agony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted June 18, 2009 Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 Yes! Starr & Cole need to go on the backburner. PRONTO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 18, 2009 Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 I haven't read the spoilers, but are the current stories (Cole in jail, Starr bonding with the baby) a suggestion they'll be on the backburner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhinohide Posted June 18, 2009 Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 Hardly. But I'm kind of looking forward to this story. I don't think Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chrishntr Posted June 18, 2009 Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 Hell freaking yeah!!!! Starr/Cole, Gigi/Rex/Stacy, and Todd/Tea/Blair need to be backburned like crazy. It's way past time to give others like Viki/Charlie, Jared/Natalie, Bo/Nora/Clint and Langston/Markko their very own front burner storyline.

Members tina m Posted June 18, 2009 Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 Yeah... I'm not Cole and Starr's #1 fan, I do like them, but they are on constantly. It's probably because of the whole baby storyline and how they were directly impacted with that. I hate to say this, I know they've been together, they have a child, but... They definitely need a break. they're on everyone episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 18, 2009 Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 Blair has barely had a major role on the show when it's not holding Starr's hand or being tortured by Todd. She was also off for a portion of this year. I think the story she's in needs to be backburnered, but I think there's other stuff for her if they make the effort.
