Definetly not as good as the past week. Really the only scenes I really cared for were Viki and Clint's. The rest was a snoozefest

Thanks! I didn't tape it on ABC but was wondering if i should watch...thanks for the info once again.

So Kim mention Kyle, Fish and Sierra today? That's nice to here, but such a tease. I want to see them back so bad (even for just one episode), but doubt it will happen.sad.png

Didn't they say Kyle or was it Fish or both would be seen on occasion by themselves not as a couple?? What outright liars. They havent been seen anymore.

If they're bringing Stacy back, it BETTER be in the form of Crystal Hunt. Say what you want about the character, but CH was great in the role.

No she wasnt. She was an awful actress and did nothing to make the Stacey character appealing. She wasnt someone to love to hate. It was just pure hate with her

Agreed. Probably a nice person IRL, but was awful as Stacy and doubly worse as Lizzy on GL.

I totally agree. Stacey was a horrible character and CH was a horrible actress. It was just pure hate.

Wait so Gigi is coming back or is it Stacy or neither?

It's Gigi's long-lost twin sister, Fifi.

Knowing Ron, too, their mother is either Didi O'Neill or Mimi King.

with ff and jpl starring on that reality show that will be airing soon, I guess the show is hoping to capitalize on the additional exposure by keeping ff around.

it's an awful idea, especially if it's stacey in the bed and she's had surgery to look like gigi so rex will fall in love with her. the character was awful the first time around, and won't be any better this time

  • Member

Why or why would they bring back Stacy? So are we assuming Stacy had surgery to look like Gigi since FF is still on the show? It almost feel like RC is giving the audience the finger.

I assume this will be Stacey as Gigi--but just guessing, but still... It baffles me. I thought RC and FV all but aknowledged that Stacey was an INCREDIBLY unpopular character.

  • Member

RC seemed shocked at the audience reaction to Stacy. I think he was fond of her. My guess is this will be a way to "redeem" her, especially if Stacey becomes Gigi.

It's also another reminder that women are interchangeable, and that's something today's soaps love to teach us.

Unlike those oh so unique Ford Bros on OLTL wink.png

Yeah he did seem baffled by the hatred, like she was some character he had wanted to write into a soap since he was little as the definitive leading lady of soaps.

This is neither here nor there, but could Kish (probably recast considering the actors I assume have moved on) return for the online OLTL? Much online video content seems to particularly attract niche audiences (not to mention the gay male couples of soaps--the few there are--have done VERY well on youtube), and it seems like a natural idea to me... But maybe that's me giving too much credit, or at least hoping for too much.

During the time of her initial story, I think, he said he was surprised at viewers not liking her. I don't believe he knew she was going to fail from the start. I can definitely believe she was a Frons mandate, but that she's returning now, after Frons probably doesn't care, is telling.

I agree I'd rather see Crystal Hunt in the role than Farah Fath.

I had NEVER heard about the interview where he blamed Frons for her--I actually didn't think RC would ever speak ill about Frons. What was said? I still remember the interview where he acted shocked audiences didn't like her.

And yes, I'd rather Hunt in the role too. But really--ratings were so low at that time, and it was blamed on all the gay stuff, but I think it was the Stacy mess (which didn't even make sense with Gigi refusing to tell Rex the truth, even in secret) that I think turned off viewers.

  • Member

I think the idea of the Stacy story was something Fronsian - a stripper who lived only for men, liked to be degraded, and enabled Rex to strut around and yell WHORE! The rest was more typical of RC - the depressing and bizarre attempts at camp, the horrible issues with tone (a dying child is ha ha time!).

She was good towards the end and with Scott Clifton. She was, like everyone, hideous with JPL and Farah Fath most of the time.

RC doesn't get that camp cannot be forced...

Anyway, She was better away from that awful storyline--and I admit RC was smart to bring in Kim to try to humanize her somewhat, although it seems to have basically just made people find Kim appealing and forget about Stacy.

I forget the story details--someone said that Kim got some money in case Stacy was alive for her? Was this actually said? I don't remember it...

Ewww, the red headed b-tch just showed up on my screen and she still hasnt gotten a decent wig

Kim talking to coma girl and responding to dialogue which isnt said rolleyes.gif Who the heck is even paying "Stacey's" care? I hope Natalie finally kicks Kim's ass

Wish I was sad about Dorian leaving but I really dont care

Thank god they got to finally showing Clint at Llanfair. I cant believe they were wasting time on Jess and Ford over him

I forgot Kelly even dated John and it wasnt that long ago

Asa's been dead for 4 years? It hasnt felt that long

What the heck is Aubrey wearing?

Asa's funeral did seem much more recent.

And your redheaded bitch comment had better not be about my Renee! :P She was the highlight of OLTL in a month for me. It's still shcking to me that they've ignored Tony Award Patricia Elliott, but I suppose it shouldn't be. Where is she living now anyway? Maybe at the graveyard from Clint's comment?

Didn't they say Kyle or was it Fish or both would be seen on occasion by themselves not as a couple?? What outright liars. They havent been seen anymore.

I think they sorta worded it to sound like that, but the basic thought was "they're still happy in Llanview don't worry guys!!! (you'll just never ever ever see them on screen!)"

Is Kim meant to seem a bit insane now? The talking to her makeup mirror as Stacey and answering it was a bit of worrisome foreshadowing.

I still contend Stacy would've been slightly more acceptable with us had RC done a better, more graceful job introducing her.
