Members Vee Posted April 28, 2014 Members Share Posted April 28, 2014 Teddy Sears (who's gone on to a fair bit of other stuff) is the one who played the bartender, Chad Bennett. He was a winning guy, but the character had no personality. So of course Gary Tomlin signed him to a contract and tried to play a horrible summer romance storyline with him and Troy and Colin's little sister Emily (who explained, in a horribly labored and totally unnecessary bit of dialogue, how she'd changed her name from the "Carol" who'd been previously mentioned by the McIver brothers because children used to call her "Christmas Carol". Really?). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 28, 2014 Members Share Posted April 28, 2014 Vee, did you ever watch any of the Christine Cameron-as-Viki'-s-daughter story in that promo? I did a few years ago. It always kind of fascinates me, as Christine was ultimately just dropped after Eterna. The actress wasn't that great, but the whole idea of Viki being fooled and then lashing out as Christine seems like a liar (even as she was totally innocent), that could have gone somewhere. As much as Rauch made a mess of OLTL, he gave Erika Slezak some meaty, complex material to play, up to his last year or so as EP, anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted April 28, 2014 Members Share Posted April 28, 2014 Thanks. What a handsome woman she was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted April 28, 2014 Members Share Posted April 28, 2014 I didn't, really. I've seen her, I didn't like her or her dad, I didn't care, so I dropped it. You are right, though, Rauch knew where his bread and butter was, he knew what Erika could do and how much audience cachet she had, and he played those characters - Viki, Clint, Tina, Cord, etc. - hard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 28, 2014 Members Share Posted April 28, 2014 I can see what you mean. Anyway, if you ever want to see those parts they're here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted April 28, 2014 Members Share Posted April 28, 2014 Was that a strike story? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 29, 2014 Members Share Posted April 29, 2014 I don't think so. I think it started a few months after. The main strike stuff was the Old West being dragged out, and...I'm not sure of the others. Faux Bo, maybe? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members danfling Posted April 30, 2014 Members Share Posted April 30, 2014 Another storyline that I absolutely despised was when Jessica Buchanan got together (the result of too much drinking which I think was underage drinking) with her step-brother and was impregnated. I still can't think that the show would have stooped that low. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 30, 2014 Members Share Posted April 30, 2014 I guess the message behind that story was that even "smart" teenagers can make bad choices (i.e., underaged drinking and unprotected sex). But that's probably just what I took from it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted April 30, 2014 Members Share Posted April 30, 2014 That's what I took from it, too. But then the show copped out by having the baby killed instead of showing the consequences and sacrifices of an unwed teenage mother. Erin Torpey (Jessica) and Jason-Shane Scott (Will) did a good job; I would have liked to see their baby story play out in a better way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
