Members Cheap21 Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 No, Viki died. She caused Viki to crash her car and she was clinically dead. They later were able to revive her, but VIki died and went to heaven in the story. When Tess found out, I dont really think she cared or had much remorse for it. She was like oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 She is! But it's also the kinda role a mediocre actress would be better at, let alone relish... (Mainly not her fault--I dunno how anyone could make Jessica interesting...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 Tess has never made ANY real sense--not even a tiny bit. It's kinda insulting after what Malone and Griffith did to Vicki/Nicki (etc) in the 90s and then to see how Higley justified Tess with that wretched child pornography scene, which, in her circumstances being away from the abuser *medically* would still make no sense.

Members DRW50 Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 I thought that Tess hated Viki and saw Niki as her mother. As for BW's performance as Tess, she is OK this time, so far, but she was just shockingly terrible in 2008. I don't know what that was about.

Members Ben Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 Hey, you couldn't give me a brief recap of what made the whole Viki/Nicki story better than the Jessica/Tess/Bess story, and where/why they went wrong? Did they actually portray DID with some realism? Most shows use it as some campy plot device that feels more fiction than fact. Much appreciated if you do.

Members Cheap21 Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 They've done the DID stuff quiet a bit with Viki as well but the definitive story was the one from the mid 90s. Viki had about 7 personalities, each potryaying a differnt side of her. Erika Slezak was phenomenal and this was potrayed as serious and not a campy plot device. Giving DID to Jessica was a lame immitation of what her mother went through, partly bc Bree is nowhere near as strong an actress. I di like the original story with Jessica and Tess bc Tess was written as a real person with layers. She started off very one note, but slowly she developed into something more and the story turned into an alter struggling to have her own life as she fell in love and a life seperate from Jessica. The subsequent returns of Tess and Bess have been less favorable bc Tess lacks any real depth or moivation. She is a plot device that they use to move story along for Jessica. She's written as cartoonish and her very presence highlights that Jessica is nothing but a weak mess with no backbone. Theres no reason why Tess should have returned. It sort of made sense last time bc Nash was killed and that was the man that Tess fell in love with but the current drama has nothing to do with Tess. The story would have been better had this been about Jessica with a backbone dealing with and overcoming whats happeend to her on her own. Instead she's taking a break and letting her alter deal with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 Nora to Todd: "You need the legal definition of rape? You should look up People vs Manning, 1993" What a great line! I cant beleive OLTL had her throw it in his face like that. Unexpected but loved it Joey is too stupid to live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 Nice crotch shot Gina. I cannot STAND Aubrey, I can hardly wait for her to go down. How annoying that the flash drive thing got all muddled. LOL Nora at, "If you need the definition of rape, you should look up The People v. Manning, 1993." That was awesome.

Members SFK Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 Ben, to piggyback what Cheap said, the mid-'90s DID story was my most favorite s/l ever. It was written with such depth and detail, a dark, riveting, edge of your seat, can't miss a day tale that I loved watching unravel. The *second* it was announced that Jessica would have an alter too, I felt insulted as a viewer because that s/l decision (DID and heredity be damned) has and always will be a cheap fanficky knockoff of the original. I wish Kelly was hungover every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
