OLTL: Discussion for the week of July 25

[Marco Dane]

Uncle Bobby REALLY UGH

[AlexElizabeth]

Uncle Bobby. Are you [email protected]#$ing kidding me?

[DRW50]

Given some of the negative public connotations that go along with the word "Uncle" and kids (remember the old SNL sketches with Buck Henry?), having Ford as "Uncle Bobby" is bewildering, especially since this is a man who was so turned on at the thought of sex with someone who thought she was underage.

I'm glad a lot of people are enjoying OLTL but this story and what it says about sexual abuse is why I still can't really invest.

Baz is creepy as hell

[Marco Dane]

Jessica mind is soooooooooooooooooooooooo damn jaded I hope to god she isn't "ENDGAME"

[Soapsuds]

And gay as hell too.

"...save poor wounded Jessica."

That's the Natalie I know and love, the one that points out the fact that Jessica always plays the victim card and is always a damsel in distress.

[alexisfan07]

Was Jessica 17 or 18 in early 2010?

Also, do we know if what Ford did can be considered rape for sure under the law? I have a feeling DID is quite complicated

[DRW50]

Jessica thought she was in 1997 (she asked about Patrick), so she was underage.

[MichaelGL]

Yeah she was 17, they made sure to hammer on that fact constantly while the story was being played out.

[Eric83]

She was raped. She was not in the right state of mind to consent for sex and this whole thing about Tess coming out while Ford was having sex with her, was just some lame rewrite a year later.

[Antoyne]

Didn't they just rewrite it that Jess was actually out during the sex?

[Cheap21]

Aww man ABC, why didnt you show us the Jess/Ford scenes at the Zoo?

Viki : "This is MY house and I will decide who gets to stay here and leave" Go Viki! Love that she is putting the twit in her place

[dragonflies]

Woohoo go Viki!

[Marco Dane]

Jessica still needs to back to St. Anne's she didnt complete treatment
