Here's Olivia

attention-whore3.jpg

Thank you! That's EXACTLY what I was going for, I just couldn't word it. But I definitely agree. She just seems so abbraisive and gross. And I like LisaLo, I do, but the way she portrays the character, combined with the way the character is written, just comes off as classless, IMO.

I didnt have that problem with her on Loving/The City as her character, Joceyln was alot more sophisticated. I think its just the character of Olivia is just meant to come across trashy and Lisa Lo plays it well

How is she nosy? How is she NOT nosy? When was the last time she DIDN'T but into someone elses conversation? Like the other day with Claire and Sonny. Or Johnny and Sonny. Or Johnny and Carly....None of those were ANY of her business. She's always sticking her nose in everyone's business.

No more different than any other character busting in on someone's dinner or looking over their laptop(Carly) or listening in on conversations in locker rooms that don't involve her(Carly).

She has the same conversation time after time after time with whoever will listen. "I love John, but he is SO revenge obsessed. I can't live like that!" blah blah blah. She needs to make up her mind. STOP going to Johnny's house and lecturing him about how he needs to change. Stop talking to random people (Steven Webber? COME ON.) about it. You made your decision. Johnny is ready and willing to be with you. YOU chose to end it. Stop whining about it. There's no reason to think anyone has sympathy for her! She MADE the choice. It's non-stop whining and it's old.
She was at a BAR talking to a patron and a FRIEND about her relationship with someone. Again, how is that out of the ordinary or inappropriate? She loves him. Why is she not allowed to talk about HER relationship with anyone she sees fit to talk to it about? She's not saying anything no one else in town knows about Johnny and Sonny's illegal activities anyway.

Maybe she's not a tramp in the way that she goes around sleeping with everyone (ala Carly -- I'll give you that one), but for me she just seems like a major tramp. The way she dresses (ok, that might be the producers), but idk. Maybe trampy isn't even the right word. I'm not sure how to describe it, but I feel like she tries overly hard to be sexy.
How is what she wears any different from what any other GH female wears? Maybe she just has the better body to wear it.

And I'm not "using" anyone elses talking points. I agreed with what Cheap said...And I repeated it in my own words...Hence the reason I was REPLYING to his post. I was saying basically the same thing, in my own words...It's not an uncommon thing to do.
Then that's when you say "agreed" or move on. I didn't think you had anything additional to add to the discussion. Not trying to be mean or play board police, but alot of these long diatribes you seem to go on just tend to lead to nowhere. Just pointing out the obvious.

Today's outfit i thought was very nice. Very sexy, but classy. If I said "today" in my previous post, It was because I hadn't watched todays episode, and was still referring to yesterday when she was at Johnny's house....Sorry, I got my dates mixed up. I thought the Brown dress was very hot.
What was wrong with what she wore at Johnny's house? How was that "trashy"? She was wearing a sleeveless silk top and jeans. It's not like she shops at Forever 21 like Erica Kane. She's appropriately dressed for someone in New York in the summer.

I don't know what your problem is...But you've been rude to me for weeks now. It's getting old. There are plenty of people that don't agree on things, but are much nicer about it than you are.
Well, hey. Sorry if you feel that way.

And I am not just repeating. I was agreeing, and using my own words to make the same point? There's a difference.
No, there's not. That's just repeating. Nothing different added to the points that were made.

Because caps means yelling, that's obviously Carly yelling all the way from New York to Destin Beach at that poor drunk college girl. Poor thing probably got her eardrum shot after that.

Oh I agree, people are nosy in soaps. But mostly, or so I think, in the way of eavesdropping (such as what Carly did/does). But for Olivia...I just feel like she's so nosy in a different way. She just pops up in the MetroCourt to add her opinion in to the conversation of whoever is dining there that night. Do other people do it? Sure. But with Olivia, I feel like it's every storyline. She adds her opinion to EVERYTHING. And she just sticks her nose in, makes her comment, and then has nothing to do with the storyline. She's a busybody.

She was at a BAR talking to a patron and a FRIEND about her relationship with someone. Again, how is that out of the ordinary or inappropriate? She loves him. Why is she not allowed to talk about HER relationship with anyone she sees fit to talk to it about? She's not saying anything no one else in town knows about Johnny and Sonny's illegal activities anyway.

Steven is a friend now? Had they ever shared a scene before she saved Ethan with him? I know things like that change your life, but that wouldn't make me wanna spill my guts to him about my mobster boyfriend and why I can't be with him. It just seems like she searches the room for the lonely acquaintance, walks over, throws in her two cents about their life problems, and clogs up 99% of the conversation with HER problems. Then she leaves. And where does she go? To lecture Johnny about why she can't be with him.....SHE made the choice! She wants him to change for her, which in its self is a sign of an unhealthy relationship, and she KNOWS he's not going to. Why waste your breath telling someone they need to change, when you know they're not going to. It's whiny and there's no point to it.

And yes, it's human to want to talk about what's going on in your life. That's what you have CLOSE friends and Family for! I know when I have something like that happen in my life, I'm not going to spill my guts to the town Sleeze bartender, or a doctor i know nothing about who I met yesterday! What Olivia needs is a friend. Like a real, good, clos friend. THEN it would make sense. But now, no. It just makes her seem dumb and pitiful, IMO.

How is what she wears any different from what any other GH female wears? Maybe she just has the better body to wear it.

Maybe it's just because all of her outfits are so damn tight.And often times it's just her tops. IMO, they go out of their way to put her in tops clearly meant for women in their twenties, and they look ridiculous on her. She has a nice body, but IMO, trying to make her look younger, actually makes her look older...and desperate.

Then that's when you say "agreed" or move on. I didn't think you had anything additional to add to the discussion. Not trying to be mean or play board police, but alot of these long diatribes you seem to go on just tend to lead to nowhere. Just pointing out the obvious.

I respect your opinion. Yeah, I made basically the same point, but I said it in a different way..Because I would have worded it differently if it had been my post. I thought it did add something to the discussion...Another point of view, and a couple of other points. But hey, you don't agree. It's ok! :P

What was wrong with what she wore at Johnny's house? How was that "trashy"? She was wearing a sleeveless silk top and jeans. It's not like she shops at Forever 21 like Erica Kane. She's appropriately dressed for someone in New York in the summer.

It certainly wasn't her worst outfit. But her tops always bother me...It was just the style. It definitely seemed like something Brook or Maxie should have been wearing. And like I said before, i feel like they try to make her look younger, and for me, it makes her seem older. And nothing every fits her well IMO...

Well, hey. Sorry if you feel that way.

I mean, no hard feelings. I didn't feel that way until like a week or two ago, when I started feeling like you were bashing everything I said. I respect that we disagree on this , and some other topics, but I also agree with a lot of your posts...Especially your love for Claire (I adore her). But it just seeemed like you were being harsher towards me than anyone else you disagreed with, and I was a little harsh myself there when I made that comment.

No hard feelings?

I wonder how long it will take them to add Vanessa to the opening. Will it be same day or will they do a Sarah Brown on her where 2 years later and we're still asking the question...lol

Oh she'll be added on Wednesday because they want people to know shes staying. I wouldnt be surprised if she was first!

I hope they add her soon. That was stupid with SJB...She was NEVER in the credits. And Brandan Barash wasn't in them for his first 2 and a half years either.

They seem to have gotten better. Chad Duell was added on his first day, and Scott Reeves and Brianna Brown were added almost immediately after being bumped from recurring to contract.

  • Member

I am still OUTRAGED that my Claudia was never added into the opening. SJB did tape some shots last September, but she left GH before they made the new opening -__-

GH will plop Brenda right after Sonny, taking over Carly's spot probably lol. Or, they will put her first.

Oh I liked Jocelyn a lot. I even liked that character she played on OLTL a few years ago (The name escapes me...). I think Lisa Lo is a good actress, and I like her, but her character just annoys me. She plays the character great, for the way they've written her, but the way they've written her annoys me, so...yeah.

She played Sonia Toledo. The one that slept with Antonio.

Right! Thank you. I knew she slept with Antonio...But I couldn't remember much else about her!

I think she'll be second after Sonny. Laura Wright will definetly get bumped back for her. OR she will have 2 different shots in the 2 variations of the opening, with the other placing her first
