These counterfeit flashback scenes that aired today were a clear re-do of that. Right down to Jessica being hassled to dance and Cristian stepping in to defend her. Would have been so much easier to just use the real thing instead. So obvious that they didn't want to remind viewers of what we already know: that BW and DF weren't always Jessica and Cristian.

The thing is they used actors who looked at least as diff ANYWAY, so....

And it seemed sanitized. Awful (and why do they seem so young??).

if the music rights were the prob, they coulda still superimposed Selena over it.

I will say things like having Roxie have a drunken at Patty's at her place are things I wish more soaps would do.

It reminds me of when AMC did all new flashbacks when Sabine was playing Greenlee. It just was awful, as were these.

WHY are they making Jess so stupid? People have told her ad nauseum that Cris and her self both moved on and she still doesn't believe it?

And she continues to yell at Christian. They are still celebrating St. Pattys Day??

Jess is just coming across as pathetic and needy.

Natalie is my girl, but she's on my last nerve with her blabber mouth

The story wouldnt be as bad if she werent written so damn stupid. It could have been interested had she been more mature and sensible and trying to come to grips with the change around her. The way they have her, she is being written as some annoying teenybopper which she was NOT back then. I dont get why she's 200% fixated on Christian. He was NOT her entire life. She isnt dealing with her family or the changes in her life like her daughter. OLTL is gonig about this story all wrong. And lets not forget it all started with her father trying to rape her. They are treating this like a joke

WHY are they making Jess so stupid?

Because OLTL wants to act like her ugly sense of entitlement is "love".

Poor Brody. I liked that Layla took him to the dance floor.

I don't. I wanted Brody w/ Natalie, and now that that's never gonna happen, I'm off the bus entirely. Just give me a Mark Lawson 2010 calendar and I'll go away quietly.

It would have been the perfect way for the Jessica/Natalie rivalry to get off the ground.

Not only that, but pairing him with unpredictable Nat would've brought out more sides to Brody, making his character less of Llanview's answer to Universal Soldier. If written and executed properly, "Brat" would have been our generation's answer to Cord and Tina. Oh well. "Jolie" must happen at all costs, right, Mr. Frons? ;-)

Well, I've already bowed out of this mess, despite my deep love for a numerous amount of the actors, professionally and superficially. As a writer, it's just offensive.

Someone at OLTL, or Fronsland, seems to think that Jessica is only worthwhile if she is "crazy." Crazy in their mind means bad camp, like a very watered down version of Liv Tyler and Alicia Silverstone in the Aerosmith video.

Crazy seems like the only story they've given Bree to play since she joined. It feels as if every year Jessica is losing her damn mind. Im beyond sick of this forever victim thing they have with her. She's a terrible stereotype gone horribly wrong

As a HUGE Jessica fan, i have tuned out. Im just not into this. In fact i wasnt the opposite of this. I want a strong Jessica who can take care of herself and fights her illness when things come up she has a hard time dealing with.

I was thinking the exact same thing while watching those clips of her and Cris last night. Like, "How can we keep this girl crazy?" Reminds me of what R. Sinclair was saying in the Ron Carlivati thread about his use of "the show's rich history" aka fan-fictiony retread of storyline successes (and failures) of the past. We know that this girl is Viki's daughter, we get it, but she will NEVER be Viki and throwing every mental malady in the world on her isn't going to make her this classic, put upon soap heroine whose stories we'll recall fondly years from now. I think [!@#$%^&*] with Jessica's brain has become the cheapest, easiest, most uninventive, loyal fan insulting storyline convention in OLTL's history.
