OLTL: Discussion for the week March 1

You know what? Perhaps, I'm reading much too much into Ford's behavior, but it seems to me the guy probably was overweight and awkward when he was Langston's age; and now that he's older and in better physical shape, he's enjoying now what he couldn't before. But, again, it's probably just me - and I agree, Cat, it's not very flattering, either.

That's an interesting take Khan, but I hope the show doesn't run with that as a ploy to make us feel for this douche. How old is Langston again? Are they gonna go all legal with this? I hope not, I'd rather they just send him away than take this to court. :rolleyes:

Maybe Dorian'll just scare him out of town. She'll have some line about being a doctor and knowing how to neuter.

Thanks for the reminder Scotty! Well, hmph. I mean, the age factor takes some of the teeth out of the story then. Ford's still a creep but it's not quite so lecherous when Lang's of age. It's just more of a betrayal. They can't keep pushing the predatory thing quite the same way if she's no longer a minor. What I'm thinking is that Ford perhaps has more of a history with younger girls.

You could be right. Everything about him screams "creepy/potential rapist".

And it should be noted, while Ford and Langston didn't sleep together til after she turned 18, he was still pursuing her well before that.

I like Blair's scheme to prove to Langston that Ford is a total lowlife. I hope it works!

His sister lost her husband. His father was going through a divorce. His mother is dealing with the fact that her husband shot (accidentally) her daughter. His sister was kidnapped, had electroshock done to her, she lost her memory and his first priority was KELLY. :huh: What are they doing to my Kevin???

As much as I like that idea, I truly hope that Skylar gets custody (until they find out who the real father is) because I do NOT want Gigi anywhere near that baby.

    • A kind angel has added both episodes to the vault (UK Diva TV broadcast version). 
    • Yes, I think that is the most likely situation.  TPTB were unhappy with the offer(s) they got from the tourism board in Finland, and decided the trip was going to be too expensive for P&G/NBC to finance alone.   I would also speculate a similar situation likely occurred a few years later with the planned location shoot in Egypt, which was also cancelled after the storyline had already started, and changed to Arizona.

    • In my usual account on my most used video hosting site with the video title  DAYS 1-8-15 Will & Paul Sex This is an edit I began when I was first teaching myself to edit & at that time I couldn't make it do what I wanted it to do. I pulled it up & finished it this morning. 
    • Or Megan is shot as retaliation for Dave's unpaid gambling debts...while Julie confesses she's the biological mother of Special Guest Star Barry Bostwick's little boy.
    • Finland seemed such an odd choice for a location shoot. ATWT went to Greece and later Spain while GL had Tenerife and there were others in that timeframe. But Finland not being a known tourist destination or offering the tropical/sunny atmosphere usually associated with location shoots seems off brand. Maybe they were negotiating a deal with a tourist association and it fell through.
    • I was talking about 1986, but the glimpses of 1982 are about the same. 
    • I skimmed some of the 1982 synopses; Steve was planning on an opening an office in Finland, and I think Jim went there as part of the preparation. That probably was a big issue; AW had already gone to San Diego that year, with Rachel/Steve/Mitch. And to upstate NY with Pete and Diana. I wonder if upstate was as expensive lol  AW in 1982 has always fascinated me, because of how messy it was 
    • That makes sense. What a messy time for the show. And any changes they made were mostly for the worse.
    • The transition from Neal to Adam was very abrupt, and to be honest my theory is that the character of Neal was designed so that we think he is super shady but then it turns out that he was on the side of good all along so Neal could have seamlessly become a hero of the BCPD with no need for Adam. I don't know whether Robert Lupone was hired on a short contract or if he was fired from a longer-term contract because they decided they wanted someone who was more of a leading man type, but I can imagine a scenario where Charles Grant did both the undercover Egyptian treasure/flirt with Victoria and the straighter-arrow day to day police investigation. But in my imagined scenario the MJ prostitution plotline probably doesn't exist and instead he probably continues a relationship with Victoria. The story seems very odd to me. I assume that David Canary would have been included only because a plotline where Steve is going to Finland in which only Rachel is seen in actual Finland seems unlikely. The synopses explicitly mention that Alice can't go with Steve but would whoever was playing Alice at that time have had the kind of clout to get the remote cancelled? It also strikes me as unlikely that production would have approved the expensive location shoot and *then* cancelled it only because of jealousy. It seems more likely that they rejected it because of the expense but then the jealousy part got added to the gossip speculatively, possibly because while it was being worked out they justified not including more castmembers because of the expense.
