Members soapfan770 Posted December 16, 2010 Members Share Posted December 16, 2010 What ODD choices for GL's most heartbreaking story, shocking twist, and outstanding newcomer. Perhaps someone here was an old Quint/Nola fan? Nola being Buzz's stalker was completely tame (and lame) compared to oh say, Reva and Annie on that staircase, Reva and Annie in the mental ward, and Abby in the courtroom. The Sugar Hill/Dahlia/Marcus tale was a non-story really. Carl can you share why they chose choices please? B&B--Poor Grant and Macy, I loved them. Though I thought Thorne and Macy's split occurred in '96 with Thorne's affairs with the Cortez sisters. Y&R-I'm very curious as to what they had to say about Nina's low self-esteem. It was a compelling and crucial element for the Ryan/Nina/Cole/Victoria quad but I thought they took it too far first with Nina seeing that guy in the bar and then shooting herself in front of Tricia.

Members P.J. Posted December 16, 2010 Members Share Posted December 16, 2010 aaawwww...my Carjack got best couple. And they'd only just met in '97. Prophetic, baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 16, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 16, 2010 1997 was a good year for Carly and Jack -- it was never the same for me after Julia was forced onto the canvas. I think that Winsor's Thorne started in October or November 1996 and then he and Macy had split up by January or February 1997 (that awful divorce by fax). There was only one Cortez sister wasn't there? That story was dropped very quickly. At the time I never understood why they chose the Nola stuff either, a dud story which made poor Nola look terrible. I'll type them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted December 16, 2010 Members Share Posted December 16, 2010 Was it Victoria Platt who was like, "Sugar Hill?? I mean, c'mon..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted December 16, 2010 Members Share Posted December 16, 2010 I still laugh at Julia's entrance, dorky geek glasses and big floppy hat, scared by a thunderstorm on a train. *eyeroll* Julia wasn't the problem. Forcing Craig between them---that was the big HUHA. They literally had to dumb Carly down and retool her entire romantic past to explain being "attracted" to Craig. Carly was a classic bad girl attracted to bad boys she could control. Ol'Man Montgomery NEVER would have interested her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 16, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 16, 2010 She wasn't on GL until a few years later. Sharon Leal might have said it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted December 16, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 16, 2010 soapfan I'm sorry I forgot - I'll write up the Nina bit later. While I thought Tricia Cast was great in that story, it did bother me a lot at the time, Nina basically losing her husband to a teenage bimbo, and the show rewriting history to make it seem like she'd slept with Cole (which she hadn't) to somehow even the score. Then Nina almost killing herself...that hurt to watch. At least Bill Bell kept Nina around, which wouldn't have happened today, but it was sad seeing her wind down that way, and never really get another chance for a real love story.

Members DeeeDee Posted December 16, 2010 Members Share Posted December 16, 2010 She got another love story. And while the quad story was ugly it also gave Tricia Cast SO many chances to shine, redeemed Nina & provided an (in character) umbrella story for SO many characters that lasted years.

Members DRW50 Posted December 16, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 16, 2010 She had the Tomas stuff; I guess I never saw that as being much of a story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted December 16, 2010 Members Share Posted December 16, 2010 It was a very good (albeit subtle) story. Tricia Cast should have at LEAST a couple Lead Emmy trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted December 16, 2010 Members Share Posted December 16, 2010 That quad was ugly though it was pretty intense for a while, mainly because of the psychological issues of Victoria's what ifs and Nina's insecurity. The one thing I did like about Nina was aside from the later stuff with Ryan and Tricia is she went through some realistic issues of viewing herself as an average woman. While she wasn't like Dru lashing out at Neil's misogyny Nina eventually overcame her own demons on her own terms. The odd thing was for a while before Tomas there was a running gag of Nina going on a bad date ie guys she met over the internet, the gay guys etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 16, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 16, 2010 Was it ever confirmed whether that story about the soccer coach was supposed to have him sexually abusing Phillip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
