Members DRW50 Posted November 20, 2010 Members Share Posted November 20, 2010 I think the big problem is that when OLTL has rewritten so many paternity stories in less than a year, why should viewers assume any of the current stories will mean anything.

Members SFK Posted November 20, 2010 Members Share Posted November 20, 2010 Exactly. Big reveals have kind of lost their sense of finality, there's no appeasing feel of s/l resolution. I can get with soap deaths and no bodies recovered, I've accepted that soap reality. But playing fast and loose like they do with paternity or worse, Victor Lord, stuff like that is frustrating, and yes, even stupid at times.

Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted November 21, 2010 Members Share Posted November 21, 2010 Loved Friday's cliffhanger. Wow!! They could go so many routes with this. Cheap & StevieM both have great theories. The only person I can think of who walked in on that guy changing the results was Marty. But who knows. It's definitely going to be thrilling finding out the results on Monday, but it will also be frustrating because there really won't be any certitude to any of them. It will be fun trying to speculate how everything went down, though. I hope the show doesn't take to long to reveal how things really went. I feel alone loving Langston and Ford I think they are great. Rex & Gigi are so irritating to me. Especially Rex. What happened with Destiny asking Tea to help her divorce her parents? Wish the show could have followed up on that in the next episode. They should have been in place of Rex & Gigi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted November 21, 2010 Administrator Share Posted November 21, 2010 That's what I think happened too. I just hope Brody is the father to one of the babies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ZaraB Posted November 21, 2010 Members Share Posted November 21, 2010 And they've retold/changed Rex's paternity so often, why should we think this time it is the final one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TeamEric Posted November 21, 2010 Members Share Posted November 21, 2010 Hmmm, after watching JPL try to emote during the Shane cancer story, I'll pass on giving him any crying or emotional scenes. He's best at screwball comedy and even then in small doses, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted November 21, 2010 Members Share Posted November 21, 2010 I hear you. But Rex had a very nice, emotionally honest moment when Jen died 17 years ago that made me look at JPL as an actor for the first time. Over the years, I've kept that little birthday candle burning for the sake of justifying his continued presence on this show. He did okay with Shane, again, I think he could go deeper if he cared to really try and if they wrote more for him like that. Rex annoys me like David Vickers annoys me, a little bit goes a very long way and their moments of actual hilarity don't justify the other 95%.

Members TeamEric Posted November 21, 2010 Members Share Posted November 21, 2010 Rex is fast approaching David Vickers' territory for me. I think it's b/c he's working with such talented vets and his absord, comedic reaction shots next to their serious talents stands out like a sore thumb. And I thought he was putrid during Shane's cancer myself, both him and FF were snicker-worthy JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 21, 2010 Members Share Posted November 21, 2010 What annoys me about JPL is that he is either deliberately tanking stories or he is so untalented that he can't make them work. A good actor would have done something with learning Mitch was his father. Instead he was just awful -- he pissed away a story that had been built up for years. Everything he does amounts to yelling and "funny" faces, and since he's also somewhat let himself go in his appearance, I have less and less understanding of why he is so beloved by the show.

Members HeedTheMessenger2.0 Posted November 21, 2010 Members Share Posted November 21, 2010 There is much more drama if Brody were both of the babies' father... and also was somehow Rex's REAL father through time travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OLTL_fan Posted November 22, 2010 Members Share Posted November 22, 2010 Im so proud of myself for not reading any spoilers on what the results will be tomorrow even though Rexs is obvious, I honestly have no clue who will be the father of Jessica and Natalies baby. I wouldnt be surprised if all were switched. Brody goes from being a father to 2 babies to being the father of neither one and goes crazy by February Sweeps. Now whats going on with Todd revoking Martys rights to see Hope? Starr doesnt read something before she signs it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jul21 Posted November 22, 2010 Members Share Posted November 22, 2010 If only you were alone- Ford and Langston are barf inducing- a great example of what's killing soaps- old fashioned misogyny with a stupid female going back to the man who sexually used her and essentially raped Jessica. Now that's romance- or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted November 22, 2010 Members Share Posted November 22, 2010 And did you all catch that, "Aww, Ford's such a gentleman, he's growing, he didn't even force himself in, he respects Langston now " moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted November 22, 2010 Members Share Posted November 22, 2010 This is odd. Do grandparents even have legal rights that need revoking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
