Possible OLTL Storyline?


Recommended Posts

  • Members

First, my apologies if anyone else has already posted this/discussed this topic. Based on the way the show is writing Eddie Ford - and the December PreVUE that there is a murderer in Llanview - I think it's fairly clear that the show is setting up a murder mystery. And the way they are forcing Eddie into everyone's lives - without even attempting to give the character ONE redeeming quality - I think they're aiming for the "everyone's a suspect" angle.

Personally, I was looking forward to Eddie's arrival but he has been very one dimensional. I also know John Wesley Shipp is a veteran actor, has won two Emmys, has been in primetime, but I'm not digging his acting on OLTL. I'm happy he won't be staying long but not sure how I feel about a murder myster surrounding his character.

Plus, I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say Matthew did it!

It will probably end up being Marty- he'll probably try to rape her, and she'll just completely lose it. :rolleyes:

She's not really in this story, but she's close enough to Starr/Todd/James now that it's possible she could be pulled in. I don't want her to be written into a corner but they're really not leaving her much room! Attacking Starr today?!? Crazy.

It'll be Echo who kills Eddie, because he threatened to reveal she isn't Rex's bio mom (and Clint isn't his bio dad). Because, you know, it's all about Rex and his never-ending (and I do mean "never-ending") quest to find his real family. :rolleyes:

Oh, I'm a bit behind (only seen Tuesday's episode) so I didn't know Marty attacked Starr. On a personal level, I say great. I don't like Starr. But I do know what you mean about writing her into a corner. Honestly, unless they bring a love interest on the show for her (Patrick? Cutter?), there is very little for her to do.

    • Michelle Forbes really captivated GL viewers so it was smart of Long to take advantage of that. When I looked back at news items and letters to the editors, I found so many letters to the editors/columns upset she was not nominated for Best Actress the year before she was nominated for supporting actress.  I read somewhere that they had planned a major storyline with Sonni and Roger but that it never came to pass because Forbes wanted to leave the show. I wonder what they had in mind.

    • Haha, love to hear it, and thank you! Yeah, I just write down thoughts/notes as I'm watching in this viewing journal I'm keeping.  So, you get my raw, honest thoughts in the moment without me having to go back and remember or curate anything.

        Watros is great, and I've liked her from the beginning, so I'm excited to see her evolve and shine even more as Annie continues to descend. I'll keep an eye out for that scene.  I have to say, Rick cracks me up, there are times when he makes jokes and you can tell the actor is having fun with it and cracking himself up. He's endearing. Let me suffer!    So funny how big Josh's hair is in the 80s. Sign of the times, I guess.   I can't wait to finally see the Sonni storyline and watch a younger Michelle Forbes shine. It's on my list, I will go back in time eventually and do this  
    • This was late 1993, right before Roger is shot. 
    • Haha I guess so, and in this recent case, Alan absolutely deserved it (many times over, honestly).
    • It's hard to remember, as Holly and Blake always seemed to be on the outs over something.
    • Ohhh yes, these were exciting!  What year was this?  Another added bonus, watching Tangie lurk around like a thief with that black beanie.

      I'm happy to hear I'm not alone in my thoughts over Gilly's exit and Vivian's first and likely only contract storyline. It was just a shame. On one hand, I'm glad they decided to finally write for this family (as Gilly was sorely underused in 1995), but then on the other... that was what they decided? Sure, it was a bit soapy, but oh so gross. They could have come up with something better.
    • Women slapping guys is a little more common.  I grew up with CBS, so it doesn't seem strange to me. If you got a slap, you usually really deserved it.
    • That could be it too. I just remember a slap at some point. That would have been around when she was made at Holly for "ruining" her one-sided relationship with Alan Michael. I don't know if you will be getting to 2000 (if you do - buckle up!) but there's a character who was intended to be Stacy.
    • Agree with all of this. They use stuff like the redecoration and the party as major events and nothing comes of it. Kyle/Claire is of no interest to me because Kyle has already been deeply in love with Lola and summer so his devotion to Claire is more of the same. And Claire is a character that came from a nonsense rewrite and now is presented as Little Miss Innocent, her dark past swept away.That charm bracelet of Nikki's must weigh a ton. The list of grandchildren seemed endless. The thing is, most of them are offscreen and ignored. Victoria seems like a neglectful parent. Was Dylan mentioned? Another dumb rewrite character. Not only is the show hampered by so many vet charcters, TPTB don't seem interested in venturing into new areas with them. Cole was brought by but there hasn't been any dramatic story that could impact on Victoria? What had he been doing all those years? So many characters w/o stories talking about businesses we never see.
