Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 8, 2021 Members Share Posted October 8, 2021 That's my point entirely. If he was a provider but rough hewn or offered a sense of security, I saw none of these things onscreen. Frankly, they weren't even implied. Whit was just there barking at his children occasionally even snapping at Lisa. What is obvious though, is why they got rid of the character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bill Bauer Posted October 8, 2021 Members Share Posted October 8, 2021 Yeah, but all those guys had some redeeming qualities except for Martin (but he was pretending to be somebody he wasn't). I just never saw Whit's redeeming qualities. Every time I saw him, he just seemed like an abusive blowhard and never pretended to be anything different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted October 8, 2021 Members Share Posted October 8, 2021 Was there a scene when Whit and Co moved into the mansion or bought the newspaper? I read that his introduction was mistaking Margo for Lisa and making a pass at her in her sleep. But, he seemed so established in Oakdale, with an old mansion full of stuff and a housekeeper, that I wondered if there was an establishing scene when he purchased all of the stuff? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TVFAN1144 Posted October 8, 2021 Members Share Posted October 8, 2021 Which she regretted letting him get away the rest of her life 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 8, 2021 Members Share Posted October 8, 2021 I never understood why Kim and Lisa didn't have a stronger rivalry over Bob. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitch Posted October 8, 2021 Members Share Posted October 8, 2021 No one knew that Lisa married...it came after Fulton's three month leave she took during those contract cycles. Lisa appeared and first scene got into a fight with ole Johnny Boy, was at the hospital talking to people etc. There was a rapist who was targeting Lisa's neighborhood and Margo wanted to be a decoy in her house...(how the rapist would just happen to pick Lisa's house when Margo was hiding???) Margo was hiding in her bed when we saw a guy come in and climb into the bed and Margo punched him out...we go to the hospital with Tom and Margo telling Lisa they caught the guy and he is getting his head bandaged and Lisa barged into confront him and then..."That's my HUSBAND"! Which is the first time the audience or characters knew who he was. (it was the Dobsons and they thought it was exciting and funny..) They lived in Lisa's house while they were building the mansion..."In the cliffs overlooking the town" (uh, first we heard of it and there are no large cliffs in the midwest..) but the Fulton left and it took them a few months to cast BVF and I think that summer they had a party for opening the house. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted October 8, 2021 Members Share Posted October 8, 2021 Did anyone occupy that set after the McColl's hightailed it to parts unknown? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TVFAN1144 Posted October 8, 2021 Members Share Posted October 8, 2021 Well Kim was always aware of Lisa’s feelings toward Bob. I think friendship overrode things going further 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 8, 2021 Members Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) Well my Astros beat Lucas Giolito today. I kept looking for Lindsay in the crowd but nothing. Edited October 8, 2021 by Soapsuds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 8, 2021 Members Share Posted October 8, 2021 Then when sleazy Brad came on the show, Lisa was wrapped around his finger. And of course James (which I think viewers accepted more because Anthony Herrera was so charismatic and handsome), and Nick (where Kathryn Hays got hate mail for the pairing). It's a really ugly time for many of the women of Oakdale. I think this was post-Dobsons, but the scene of Steve just berating Kim as she stands there helpless and mute always stays with me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted October 8, 2021 Members Share Posted October 8, 2021 I feel the need to publicly admit my stupidity because I was today-years-old when I realized that Lindsey Frost is not the same person as Lindsay Crouse. This whole month I was thinking how odd it was that David Mamet's son played baseball under a different last name. For some reason I always thought it was Lindsay Crouse (Mamet's wife, best known for Places in the Heart) who was recast as Betsy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted October 8, 2021 Members Share Posted October 8, 2021 It's nice that it was played that way. He truly was the one that got away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 8, 2021 Members Share Posted October 8, 2021 I liked this aspect, that Lisa was loyal in equal measure, despite feeling that Bob was the "one that got away". I appreciate when there are complicated feelings at work. Wow, we stated this at virtually the same time! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
