Members SFK Posted October 25, 2010 Members Share Posted October 25, 2010 I love how Scotty makes this thread every week and there are always 157 views with 0 replies. So I just wanted to make a quick post saying that I'm really looking forward to more Evans family fallout though I'm prepared for the inevitability that the identity of Destiny's biological mother may be a long time coming. Hopefully I'm wrong. They may throw us a lie, or should I say "temporary answer" at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members oltl1 Posted October 25, 2010 Members Share Posted October 25, 2010 Oh lord I hope not. How many "Who's The Parent" storylines can 1 show have, all running at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted October 25, 2010 Members Share Posted October 25, 2010 Yeah, OLTL loves to string us along, and half the time it feels less like paced storytelling and more like, "We're making this [!@#$%^&*] up as we go." I mean, Rex? Can we just put a period at the end of that parental sentence already?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fanOLTL Posted October 25, 2010 Members Share Posted October 25, 2010 The problem isn't just the number of "who's the parent" storylines, but their resolutions too. Why make Schuyler Roxy's kid just as he's about to go to jail and off the show? Why do this Greg reveal just as he's about to go to jail and off the show? I know there needed to be a deep, dark secret that Eli was using against Greg, but another paternity issue? And I hate how the show turned Hannah into a psycho too. When she was released to Marty's care, I actually thought there was great potential for Hannah's redemption. Marty was a bad girl who got into a lot of trouble when she was young. Hannah's obsession with Cole kind of echoed Marty's obsession with Andrew. So I thought, Marty "saving" Hannah could be a great story for both characters to play out. But the show went and did the predictable, unimaginative thing and made her crazy. FAIL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted October 25, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 25, 2010 I had never noticed that before. Usually I just start the thread and leave. But that is just too funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members oltl1 Posted October 25, 2010 Members Share Posted October 25, 2010 ITA guys. The show seems to change gears and direction to often. There seems to be no long term story, just plot. Once the plot is done, the story shifts gears and changes direction to suit the next plot. Marty "saving" Hannah would have been an amazing story, full of reflection and growth for both characters. Unfortunately, we'll never see it. No different than the Miles/Addie connection, the fall out of Dorian's actions when she took over BE, Dorian and Ray, Mitch...etc. On a side note, has anyone else noticed that the show seemed to lose focus when Carolyn Culliton left the writing team and that since the edition of Jean Passanante, the show seems to be on "some sort of track" again, or is it just my imagination.

Members Cheap21 Posted October 25, 2010 Members Share Posted October 25, 2010 I dont think who Destiny's mother is will matter. I doubt its anyone we know (considering there haventbeen many black women) and it will most likely be some new character created for this story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted October 25, 2010 Members Share Posted October 25, 2010 Agree, agree, agree. The resolutions are always so *whomp whomp* with those involved either being scuttled off or the denouments are simply unsatisfying/nonsensical (Rexahontas). I too thought that Hannah was "on the mend" so to speak, I thought she'd go on to be an AMC's Annie-like character... inherently good, but a penchant for wacky shenanigans, kind of like Santa Barbara's Gina. It will certainly matter to Destiny, but true, whether that will "matter" or not to the writers at this point is yet to be seen. You know if they tell us she's dead we won't believe it anyway. Yeah, it's pretty funny, just a little something I've noticed week after week. I guess folks assume there'll be a little preview in the initial post.

Members Melroser Posted October 25, 2010 Members Share Posted October 25, 2010 Is it too much to hope for a great week?! I hope some of this Eli stuff wraps up, but at least wraps up well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
