Members EricMontreal22 Posted January 13, 2010 Members Share Posted January 13, 2010 AHAH well I remember the movie being pretty awful, but I certainly liked him in it Glad you found it. I forgot about that whole awful Flynn dual role/mess. UGH They did mention Miles when the whole Jared is doing weird things story began I think--I remember him being mentioned so he could be written off the suspects list.

Members DRW50 Posted January 13, 2010 Members Share Posted January 13, 2010 It's the opposite with me. I think he seems very false. I manage to find him somewhat tolerable with Blair, at least when they aren't going on about Todd and Tea. I thought he was cringeworthy with Tea and whenever he tries to be hot I just think it's a put-on. The waxing doesn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted January 13, 2010 Members Share Posted January 13, 2010 So Mitch knows that Dani is Todd's kid. How the HELL does he know everything about everyone's business yet doesnt know that Stacy ISNT carrying his grandkid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NorrthCafe Posted January 13, 2010 Members Share Posted January 13, 2010 Let me start by saying GOOD JOB, Tea... just be a total tool and bargain with your daughter. Her father's freedom in exchange for Todd's happiness. It would be nice if Dani maintained her distance, respecting the fact that Todd is her bio father, but deciding that she won't just switch daddy's because it's convenient for mommy. There are adopted kids who want only the family that's raised them. It would be nice if the writers went that route with Dani - even if her circumstances are slightly different. Well, it wasn't 'Glitter' bad, but I wouldn't watch it twice. I liked it well enough for what it was. I love independent films just for trying, Filmgod love 'em. I didn't care for him with Tea, either. Something about them rubbed me the wrong way. I think it was the cheesy brother angle and how much time he'd spent tormenting her when he first arrived. It could be that I think sunshine shoots from the guy's nether regions because he feeds my shameful 'Don Draper' crush (yet Draper is everything II'd loathe in a RL man...) I see a rugged sexuality in Walton's Eli. LOL, ask and you will receive! That's what I love about OLTL writers. It's like they know what questions fans have about most plots and the minute you think they've forgotten something, it pops up on screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Leia Posted January 13, 2010 Members Share Posted January 13, 2010 Can someone wake TSJ up and let him know when the camera is rolling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted January 13, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 13, 2010 I know what you mean...and abc.com still uses them in their day-to-stay sneak peeks and when they upload full episodes. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted January 13, 2010 Members Share Posted January 13, 2010 Seriously, I don't know what he's going for, but this is a bad "choice". I'm sure we've all read about how he expresses his script disapproval through his acting, but this sleepwalking is insulting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NorrthCafe Posted January 13, 2010 Members Share Posted January 13, 2010 Given what the writers have done to Todd, it might be more merciful to let TsJ sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 14, 2010 Members Share Posted January 14, 2010 I still remember reading TSJ describe his approach to acting in an interview and thinking, NO acting school or instructor would EVER advise doing [whatever he does].

Members EricMontreal22 Posted January 14, 2010 Members Share Posted January 14, 2010 I'm just glad they're gone! OK I watched all that era but I need a refresher--what exactly happened with the whole Todd/Walker thing? He killed Flynn? And was Miles Walker or another brother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 14, 2010 Members Share Posted January 14, 2010 Real quick: After Mitch and his thugs beat him to a pulp, mangled his face and left him for dead, Todd traveled to Atlantic City and made a deal with local crime boss Walker Laurence (who went by "Walker Flynn"): He wanted his face so he could convince Mitch he was Walker and "reunite" with him, gaining his trust so he could kill him. Flynn agreed. Flynn had not seen Mitch since childhood, when Mitch believed Flynn had been drowned by their insane preacher father for disobedience; in reality, the boy had been given to another farm family, the Flynns (hence his new name). Later, Natalie and Cristian traveled to Atlantic City on their honeymoon and ran afoul of Flynn, who "looked just like Walker" to them. Todd went to AC to settle up with Flynn but got pulled into Flynn's criminal activities, as did Natalie, who Flynn wanted to throw a pool tournament for money. When she didn't, he kidnapped Cristian and "killed" him. He also tried to attack Todd and Blair, but Todd killed him by sending him to his death in the out-of-control penthouse elevator. Miles, on the other hand, was Flynn and Mitch's other brother, given away by their dad at birth because of horrific facial deformities. He was raised in an institution, sheltered and naive, until Spencer arrived there to consult and gave him plastic surgery to remake his face. He knew nothing of Mitch or Flynn. The introduction of Miles, tying him to both Mitch and Spencer, was ridiculously convoluted but actually the idea of a hunky naif from a horrific family, unused to the outside world works and could be interesting. Unfortunately the character was so tainted by his introduction and Dena Higley's insane storytelling that they couldn't do anything with him. But I liked Miles and Roxy, and before the strike RC had planned to make him Blair's brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted January 14, 2010 Members Share Posted January 14, 2010 Thanks Vee You've become my go to person for OLTL history Forgot about the whole Natalie as a pool wizard story. See I appreciate that Malone (and the oft forgotten Griffith though I think this is a Malone trait) liked to give characters qualities like that--so that it seemed like they had a life outside of the melorama we see--interests, hobbies even. But he often totally misused said hobbies for bizarre or random story points. I remember much of that, though I missed a lot of the Miles stuff cuz I tuned out so often with Higley I did like the actor and to an extent the character.
