Members DRW50 Posted September 19, 2010 Members Share Posted September 19, 2010 I was OK with Barbara giving up her company because I don't think Barbara's full heart has ever been in business (and frankly I had forgotten she still had a company), but I do think they should have had Lucinda tell everyone she was done, then, when she was alone, make a call about a new business venture. Business is Lucinda's lifeblood and nothing will change that. PJ, you do have a point about false sentimentality. I didn't buy the stuff where everyone suddenly liked Alan (I would have rather seen Amanda and Alan Michael return and make some peace with him if they could, to continue the theme of Phillip trying to do the same). I was hoping that Luke's ending would be Reid staying in Oakdale as the new chief of staff and Luke leaving for Europe or somewhere to find himself. Lily did the same when she was a few years older than Luke. Luke still would have been alone but it wouldn't have been in misery. I just don't see any real reason Reid had to die. Reid had such potential as a character for the long term, and instead he was too easily pushed into the sexless stories with Luke and dying for Chris. I think Reid living and sparring with John Dixon over the last scenes at the hospital would have shown life goes on, old blood becomes new blood.

Members dragonflies Posted September 19, 2010 Members Share Posted September 19, 2010 Did Babs give up her company? I thought her and Paul just dissolved their partnership, and I thought then that it was Paul who wasn't part of it anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 19, 2010 Members Share Posted September 19, 2010 Oops. You might be right. For some reason I thought she was giving up her company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Posted September 19, 2010 Members Share Posted September 19, 2010 Oh, that might be it. Because she has Henry to work with her now or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonflies Posted September 19, 2010 Members Share Posted September 19, 2010 Yeah Paul was going to ask her to dissolve their partnership, but she beat him to it. She said she has Henry now. She told Emily was setting Paul free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted September 19, 2010 Members Share Posted September 19, 2010 I could have sworn I heard Barbara mention something about her and Henry opening/running a club shortly before Donna Summer made her cameo appearance (I wonder if she knows she was a part of ATWT's last episode). I interpreted the stuff with her and Paul to be them both closing the book on BRO and continuing on. Lily as the head honcho at Worldwide. Surrrrre. And then I read a post where "Lucinda shoulda let Luke run Worldwide." The hell? No! She should have not! I think the finale made TPTB realize that they really haven't given Luke any purpose/dream/goal of his own...at all, and in Van's interview with Fairman, he touches on this. Luke used to be an aspiring writer way back when he worked at WOAK (remember, his writing and Noah's directing was supposed to be their "thang" -- ugh, whatever). A good way to show some kind of ray of light on his ending without it being about a relationship would have been a throwaway line about "a new idea I've been working on...sort of a soap opera about a lawyer, his wife, and their grown children." But back to Lucinda...I was under the impression most of the time that she and John were gonna do the world traveling thing, but once it became clear they were in Oakdale for good, I could just imagine Lucinda "officially" giving the reins over to Lily but still being the one and only string-puller there.

Members Soapsuds Posted September 20, 2010 Members Share Posted September 20, 2010 Well in spanish telenovelas(soaps) the finale almost always ends up with everyone happy. I don't think we wanted a big cliffhanger a la Dallas with JR shooting himself. It was be cruel not to have some sort of payoff or happy ending. I'm not saying I wouldn't have minded a cliffhanger or two but what's the point if it wont be resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted September 20, 2010 Members Share Posted September 20, 2010 I didn't know Barbara still had BRO. I agree about Reid. He shouldn't have been killed off. I'd rather Chris had died...they didnt know what to do with the character anyways. Bob and Kim so devasted leave Oakdale to live with their other children...Andy, Frannie and Sabrina.

Members DRW50 Posted September 20, 2010 Members Share Posted September 20, 2010 I would have killed Chris and then at the funeral had big photos of each of the eight or nine actors who played him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted September 20, 2010 Members Share Posted September 20, 2010 Speaking of Andy...I cant believe they didnt bring back Hope. She could have been part of the canvas. There was so much story with Andy and Hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 20, 2010 Members Share Posted September 20, 2010 They even could have cast that girl who played Leah Bauer on GL. Someday I hope we might know for sure whether they even tried to get Andy back, or Penny. My favorite Chris was Paul Korver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
