OLTL: Discussion for the week of September 26

I don't need that, per se, but the show chooses to tell these stories. I can't blame anyone at OLTL now for the story about what Victor did to Viki, or Todd's old stories, but the rapemance, or the Tess/Ford stuff, or what Jack did to Shane, it's all so ugly, and it lingers in the mind when the show tries to pivot to campiness. If they had just stayed away from this entirely, then I wouldn't be as bothered. But they chose to do this stuff and then not really follow up.

There's nothing with camp, per se, but there needs to be more balance. We have to take at least some things seriously, or our emotional investment is in danger. That's what killed SANTA BARBARA.

This is where I'll just agree to disagree. I think there is balance. There is some very serious stuff going on, but I get to laugh or roll my eyes at the craziness.

Oh there's definitely a lot of fun stuff and camp that works. I always enjoy Roxy, and some of David's material can be amusing. I can even see where something like Rick and the porn stuff might be amusing. But everything with Todd or Jessica, I just can't do that.

I think that BR/Irene is kind of so bad that she's good. I get a good laugh out of her. Like her crazy head shaking and growling yesterday.

I think it's a matter of which characters lend themselves to that kind of material and whether or not Frank & Ron are shoehorning certain other characters into campy storylines where they really don't belong.

Random photo of the day: found this one of Melissa Archer. Is it possible her weight loss caused the bags under her eyes? Cause her face looks pretty fresh and smooth here a couple years ago

Re-watching Friday's show

Natalie: Are you nuts? (re: asking Clint for his blessing)

Brody: (nervously laughs) Maybe...

Yikes that is some bad foreshadowing :lol:

Where have Kim/Cutter/Aubrey/Rama/Vimal gone? Would like to see more of them... and none of Rex!

I REALLY love that group of characters too. I find them to be the most appealing group of younger actors OLTL has had in forever. Bree has always left me cold, Melissa has actually grown on me in the last 3 years (I used to loathe her, now I quite like her).. I know Kim will not make it as the actress has huge things ahead of her in my opinion, but I would love to see the other 4 make the move. After all this stuff I heard about Teri, I kinda liked her since day one..

I wonder why they even brought Kim back. They don't seem to care about putting her with Clint again, and her role with the others could be filled by anyone. I guess it was just to usher in Farah Finger as Stacy 2.0.

I think Aubrey and Cutter could be replaced with a dozen other characters on OLTL in the last few years, but I would put up with her if it meant getting anyone like Katrina back on the show. It would be nice to be reminded of Llanview history beyond rape and sexual abuse and camp.
