Members Cheap21 Posted October 27, 2010 Members Share Posted October 27, 2010 LMAO. I wonder if the same people that thought that back then would still feel the same way today this was the best? I hated it and thought that was when Kelly went downhill Most preposterous in daytime history. This was beyond stupid and a waste of time, not to mention it lasted way too long IA, after all the build up Scott and Lucy got, their wedding was rushed and a major disapointment. and almost 10 years later, she was still a teen Why'd they get this? Im surprised Sheridan didnt get it as she was pretty dumb throughout Passions run While I prefer Michael Lowry, I thought Peck was decent enough lol...I liked the Days plane crash. That was when they were searching for Hope, right? She was axxed? I always thought she left on her own I dont recall this story. I beelive Luckywas brainwashed around this time but how does Chloe figure into it? Was this when she was having her psychic dreams with that music box thing?

Members EricMontreal22 Posted October 27, 2010 Members Share Posted October 27, 2010 I believe Strasser left under pressure from JPF, but I could be wrong? Interesting to see that they liked anything from OLTL at the time. I liked AMC's Jake recast (J Eddie Peck) MUCH more than Lowry, who always was mopey as Jake (oddly, I liked him a lot more on OLTL last year, well till his chaacter was ruined--so that didn't last very long). I know I am in the STARK minorigy, and I remember being so at the time, but I liked Eliot and the admittedly ridiculous (did he get plastic surgery so she wouldn't recognize him? I can't even remember? LOL) storyline of him being revealed as Laura's killer. I liked the redemption angle, I liked the aspect of him beign a priest, bringing back in the community center, the material it gave Brooke, the actor, I even liked them as a couple. To me it was classic soap opera--but I aknowlegde it didn't go over REMOTELY well and wqas quickly axed. I think this was one of several examples of Agnes Nixon's tenure as HW again where she tried some storylines that would have gone over better in the 70s than to a modern audience (the uber bland, old school soap heroine Becka being another example). But, I admit with some shame, it worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 27, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 27, 2010 Yes, this was when she had psychic dreams and Helena wanted her dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 27, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 27, 2010 They didn't like the plane crash because they thought it was silly -- Greta offering to shut the plane door, and then the Gilligan's Island type scenes, and the variety show the teens and Lili put on. I thought Peck was pretty decent when he had the material. Mostly with Greenlee. That was the only time the character being a self-righteous ass worked, because Greenlee was better with someone who did not enable her endless childless whiny bullcrap. I thought he was pure hell with Lowry in the role and not a lot better with RPG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 27, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 27, 2010 I think he got plastic surgery because of a prison beating, didn't he? I thought the story just was not a good idea for Brooke. Brooke had already had too many romances with men with secret pasts or who had caused her trauma. She was starting to become a parody and becoming more and more isolated -- this was also when they brought in the terrible Laura recast. I think bringing him back and doing a story with Brooke, but not a romance, would have worked better. Strasser left because JFP wrote out everyone around her and gave Strasser character-destroying stories she hated, like running over Jessica. She also tried very hard to make Lindsey the new Dorian.

Members DRW50 Posted October 28, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 I thought they were good early on, although I put that down to the chemistry between the actors. Even then I often disliked the writing, which was lazy. I was just hoping to see Carly move in another direction after years of AJ/Jason hell. No chemistry with BW and Steve Burton shut down any time he had a scene with her. For a brief time, it was a nice change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted October 28, 2010 Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 The original Kevin/Kelly/Joey triangle was just awful and the nadir of Gina Tognoni's descent into cold, brittle ice queen. I was so happy to see the back of her the following year and I would never have expected she'd be so wonderful on GL. However, several years later, Kevin, Kelly and Joey became a huge gold mine to tap into for drama. What was important was that despite many huge mistakes, Michael Malone tapped into the fact that Kevin and Kelly had begun as a sleazy affair, they'd screwed over their loved ones, and their marriage was built on sand and lies and too much pride. After he made them implode, they became a tortured couple to root for. I think they still are. Ten years ago I would never have believed Kevin and Kelly could became a star couple for OLTL, but that's what they did become under Dan Gauthier and Heather Tom, even though OLTL never treated them properly. I think it could still work with Gina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gray Bunny Posted October 28, 2010 Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 Ah yes, the never-ending murder mystery. By 2000, I think that was when Sami and Brandon went to Europe somewhere to investigate the girlfriend/family of Roberto (the guy Kate convinced to take the murder rap before he died), and as Sami got closer to the truth, Kate and Lucas gaslighted her with a Will doll and some drug or herb. Funny how there's all those DAYS negatives (Hi, Virtual Eden!) yet they were still crowned the most improved of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted October 28, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 Vee, I was wondering if you thought that the criticism of OLTL in 2000 was justified, or if the show was really that much worse than in 1998 or 1999. I tend to remember SPW being more positive towards OLTL than Digest was at this time but I wonder if they were just making up for lost time as a lot of the soap press turned a blind eye to JFP's run.
