Members DRW50 Posted April 3, 2010 Members Share Posted April 3, 2010 There are some soap stories or histories or moments that never make sense even if you watched at the time or even if you look in a history book or at a recap. Is there anything you'd like to ask about something that happened on a show you watched, something that was baffling to you, and you want someone else to try to give an answer? Here's my question. What exactly was the backstory between Tangie and Roger on GL? What was her backstory period? I usually only paid attention to Tangie if she was around Holly, Fletcher, or Cutter, so I lost track of whatever was going on with her. She came to Springfield with money that she'd stolen, right? And her parents, they were secret agents who had ties to Roger? Didn't they imply that Roger was her father? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted April 3, 2010 Members Share Posted April 3, 2010 Hmmm, I have vague memories of that too, from when I first started watching GL in the early '90s. It's like they had a *bit* of an Adam/Ross (AMC) relationship, as if he was sort of her godfather or something like that.

Members DRW50 Posted April 3, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 3, 2010 Thanks. Her stories sucked, especially anything involving: I found an old SOD from 1994 asking why Tangie couldn't be with Cutter, and JFP basically said oh well we want her to be in this story with Alan-Michael and Alan. That was a big mistake, she had no chemistry with them and to have Alan thrown into a triangle with his own son as soon as he came back to Springfield was baffling. I didn't remember the part about her being sold to Roger at fifteen. That's...odd. I thought there was more but I guess that might be because at this time on GL there were often long, rambling monologues and solyiquies (sorry) to try to hide the lack of solid, focused storyline.

Members MichaelGL Posted April 3, 2010 Members Share Posted April 3, 2010 On GL, what about Ben Reade's sexual abuse at boarding school? Who was the culprit and why were they not held responsible after Ben's death? I think we all know the answer to this, i.e. it was used as a way to write off Ben and pair Shayne/Marina together, but still there's plenty of explanations needed for that storyline.

Members soapfan770 Posted April 3, 2010 Members Share Posted April 3, 2010 I have an episode from 1995 just before Tangie left she was testifying against Alan for aiding Brent and Alex was telling the press that Roger was Tangie's sugar daddy. Tangie was such a ridiculous and pointless character who never worked A couple of story points that have always baffled me are: ATWT: Why the hell did Iris scream "My beautiful baby boy"? B&B: What happened to Morgan in 2005? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted April 3, 2010 Members Share Posted April 3, 2010 This may not have amounted to more than a throwaway line back in the early eighties that my mom had remembered, but wasn't it mentioned that the Buchanans and the Cortlandts, and/or the Buchanans and the Woleks were cousins? I do remember Asa having a line about Palmer once in the '90s/'00s but it had nothing to do with family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted April 3, 2010 Members Share Posted April 3, 2010 Just ask Michael Muhney, he has been explaining everything these past few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted April 3, 2010 Members Share Posted April 3, 2010 I want to know why on DOOL The Gloved Hand (EJ) took Mimi and Belle's eggs and had them fertilized with the wrong husbands (Philip and Shawn respectively). What was that all about and why??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted April 3, 2010 Members Share Posted April 3, 2010 GL: How did Reva's stalker go from throwing bricks through windows, giving the Lewis family hang up calls, leaving threatening messages for Reva on her doorstep to wanting to blow up an entire television studio that had countless number of people inside of it?

Members Bright Eyes Posted April 3, 2010 Members Share Posted April 3, 2010 Under James E. Reilly, that was to be Jan Spears, awake from her coma, [!@#$%^&*] with them all for revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted April 3, 2010 Members Share Posted April 3, 2010 I love Jan Spears, and the girls who player her were both a lot of fun. That makes more sense than The Gloved Hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 3, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 3, 2010 He was driven insane by Marah's clothes. Whatever happened to Reva's talk show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted April 3, 2010 Members Share Posted April 3, 2010 She had Ridge in her semi-psycho clutches in Italy, he had amnesia and she'd convinced him they were happy together. Then, her mother came to town and informed Brooke that Ridge was in Italy, she then whisked Morgan away to a mental institution because she clearly was insane. What really happened was Sarah Buxton was signed to a 1 year deal, Brad Bell switched storyline after 2 months and he paid out her contract.
