Members Vee Posted June 15, 2011 Members Share Posted June 15, 2011 Oh, I totally agree with that. I came to ABC Daytime as a kid for AMC and it was very good at that time, but I found it too light. I stayed for OLTL, which was harder-edged and more 'real' to me under Linda Gottlieb. So yeah, I'd have Viki kill Mitch and put her on trial for it. She'd probably even do time for awhile, but she'd be onscreen for it. With the Jessica story, I'd do a live show and have people actually vote as the "jury" in advance (and pre-tape later stuff for either outcome), but with Viki there's no point - people would let her walk.

Members DRW50 Posted June 15, 2011 Members Share Posted June 15, 2011 The only time I struggle with Viki is when she's passive and taken out of stories, or is on prop duty. Viki was at her best when she had strong characters to play off of. Then they started downplaying her in the lives of her family. Now she is playing a larger role, although I wonder how much of that is reaction to how incredibly pathetic her family has become. Charlie (when he was around), Jessica, Joey, and the Jolie version of Natalie can barely cross the street on their own. It's still mind-boggling that the only way they can make Jessica interesting is to repeatedly have her raped and try to kill her family. What happened to the days when a heroine could just have a makeover set to a kicky pop song? If the character wasn't so far gone I would have her methodically plan Ford's murder and then make it look like she did it while in an alter state.

Members SFK Posted June 15, 2011 Members Share Posted June 15, 2011 She had some cute moments with Brody, but I am not so sure that I even like Jessica in the form of Bree. I don't think I have really enjoyed Jessica since Erin-Jessie was with Yorlin Cristian and dressing up with Kelly and all that. If I had my way, her DID NEVER EVER would have happened let alone gone this far. It's cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 15, 2011 Members Share Posted June 15, 2011 I don't think she's ever been authentic with Bree in the role. We heard that she was so much better as Tess but I haven't seen that since 2005 or 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted June 15, 2011 Members Share Posted June 15, 2011 Jesicas' DID was honestly only well written the first time around. Everytime they have done it after has been a cheap trick because they do not know what else to do with her. Its too bad they didnt just have Tess overtake Jessica and be the dominate one on more, but not this cartoon tess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted June 15, 2011 Members Share Posted June 15, 2011 ICAM with what everyone has said. The DID was interesting and handled well the first time now it's just played for laughs so Bree can act hammy, and we forget that Ford raped a mentally ill chick..

Members ER Tosh Posted June 15, 2011 Members Share Posted June 15, 2011 I guess if Clint gets Gigi's heart, the next few months of the show will have Shane (with the help of Clint) trying to get even with poor Jack Manning just because Jack murdered his mother.

Members MichaelGL Posted June 15, 2011 Members Share Posted June 15, 2011 The only thing worth tuning in for today are the Brody/Nat scenes, perhaps some more Viki/Clint interaction (I'm really feeling the rapport between JvD and ES today, which is odd).

Members Soapsuds Posted June 15, 2011 Members Share Posted June 15, 2011 Brody is hot. I liked his smirk when Nat told him to say. But Nat and Brody are a boring couple. Nat has become so boring to watch and so has Brody. The couples on OLTL are either boring, vomit inducing or just plain stupid..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
