Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 24, 2011 Members Share Posted September 24, 2011 No kidding. This week has been fairly dull--I actually thought maybe they'd try to open with something really exciting this week just to try to get the attention of people who don't watch regularly any soap, or at least OLTL and tuned in for the AMC finale.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 24, 2011 Members Share Posted September 24, 2011 Though I've seen earlier episodes and clips, I know Cord mainly from that 1993 era and admit never got the love for him. He always seemed nice, but I kinda remember him never really having ANYTHING to do or a strong presence. That was the Cain/Tina/Cord triangle right? in which I actually always felt that Tina and Cain had more going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 24, 2011 Members Share Posted September 24, 2011 It wasn't a triangle IMO. Tina had some brief pull towards Cord again but was mostly just in love with Cain. I don't believe Malone had any strong interest in Tina or in Cord - I think he just enjoyed writing for Cain, and Tina was a part of that. It's one of the reasons why Tina became dilluted as a character. She lost most of her purpose and was just part of the plot, which is why they ended up heavily damaging her when Krista Tesreau arrived. The Cord of Loprieno's first run is, I would say, very special. I think Rauch is the only one who got Cord or Tina, separately or together.

Members DRW50 Posted September 24, 2011 Members Share Posted September 24, 2011 But I did like the Cord/Angela Holiday bond - stupid decision to get rid of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted September 24, 2011 Members Share Posted September 24, 2011 I've wondered for a few years now if the show didn't want to lose Nash - they just had issues with the actor - so they were waiting to find a new Nash-type character. Both Cutter and Ford have somewhat similar stories - the con artists who are actually sweethearts deep down, and Ford loves Tess, as Nash did.

Members TeamEric Posted September 24, 2011 Members Share Posted September 24, 2011 If I can't have Jess & Brody, I'd have accepted Cutter far more easily than Ford. I don't see Ford as a con artist but a player and big user. Cutter is the con artist out for cash. He wasn't screaming at Jessica to have a breakdown so he could get his hands on her alter like Ford was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted September 24, 2011 Members Share Posted September 24, 2011 Cord was great in the 80s. He was marginalized and more of a supporting character by the time you watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 24, 2011 Members Share Posted September 24, 2011 Yeah, from clips, and all the Cord love on here, I'm getting that impression... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted September 24, 2011 Members Share Posted September 24, 2011 I'm not kidding. The first time I read that, I thought it said "Ford Ho's." The end of ALL MY HO'S CHILDREN on ABC has hit me hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mr. Vixen Posted September 25, 2011 Members Share Posted September 25, 2011 Shane didn't necessarily kill Victor. He just knocked out Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
