Members Leia Posted January 1, 2010 Members Share Posted January 1, 2010 If Ford is going to give Markko a significant story then I can't object. I presumed his return was connected to David Vickers until he mentioned he was Markko's teacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 1, 2010 Members Share Posted January 1, 2010 Perhaps Delfina has a little brother or nephew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted January 1, 2010 Members Share Posted January 1, 2010 The problem is--there's no story here. He's, arguably, more superficially hot than Marko, but not by much, he's arrogant, has been a jerk repeatedly... A 15 year old girl might go for that--someone with the smarts we've seen Langston have never would. It's forced, fake, awful drama and there are so many other story avenues they could go with her character (hell, has she even dealt with her grief for more than 2 episodes?) She looks at him the way a girl might look at a fireman calander, and Markog ets jealous and... Why is this a soap story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted January 1, 2010 Members Share Posted January 1, 2010 I have pondered the same points, it just would have been nice to have *seen* them, y'know? I'm just musing, being all soap heroine who goes to heaven and meets her miscarried/aborted babies all growed up. Seriously though, I don't think I will EVER get over the Mia/Kassie thing, and Lord knows I've tried. I appreciate how later regimes have put a funny little bandaid on it by having Kassie flash back to her Mia self, that I love. But wow, it's still just so crazy to me. What if Ellen Holly had been recast with a dark-skinned actress, or a white woman? This isn't Batman, I don't care if Catwoman goes from Julie Newmar to Eartha Kitt, or even a play with color blind casting, but on a soap??

Members Leia Posted January 1, 2010 Members Share Posted January 1, 2010 And daytime's black box lives on. There's Jack and there's also Shane Morasco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted January 1, 2010 Members Share Posted January 1, 2010 Please don't give us a Shane storyline--even within five years. Ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted January 1, 2010 Members Share Posted January 1, 2010 That recast never should've happened and the fact that people still talk about it shows why. Blair's ethnicity was actually a part of the character to erase that made her a new character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Leia Posted January 1, 2010 Members Share Posted January 1, 2010 He's the only other age appropiate male option on the show that doesn't call for bringing in another new character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted January 1, 2010 Members Share Posted January 1, 2010 Ugh that's almost worse than him being a deterent to Marko and Langston. Carl says when he was on the show last there was interest in the character on here--I alwyas felt he was a pretty day player. I have NO idea why he's been brought back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted January 1, 2010 Members Share Posted January 1, 2010 If he's recast I could buy that I guess--except for seeing Gigi as the mom would be hard to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeliaIrisFan Posted January 1, 2010 Members Share Posted January 1, 2010 I don't think we're disagreeing, except that I like Tea and once found her story with Todd and her (twisted) reasons for trying to make it work with him compelling. You don't, but that's fine with me, and it's a moot point anyway because we've long since passed the point where I find it plausible/palatable that she would keep trying to make it work with him. As you said, the way Todd and Tea are being presented now is not consistent with her history. I'm not disputing that. I think it speaks to the fact that the show is not invested in Tea as a character, just as a cookie cutter love interest for Todd, the hot rapist. Blair, Tea, or Marty will do. I just don't want to see that, no matter who is playing the role of Todd's doormat in today's episode. The character is more ludicrous than Mitch Lawrence at this point, and more offensive because we're actually supposed to root for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Leia Posted January 1, 2010 Members Share Posted January 1, 2010 Guessing here. If he isn't working for Mitch to get at Dorian, did anyone think about Natalie? Jared is dead now and she's not matched up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
