OLTL: SoapNET Marathon On New Years Day

[Angela]

They really weren't even attempting to give her texture until they decided to do the rape story. They did a good job in making her less vile in the 1-3 months before the rape. Her bonding with Jessica and Viki and going into the characters backstory more.

[Cheap21]

Probably taking a break

[~bl~]

I hated Marty too. It was just annoying especially as they said we created her because we were killing Megan. Well she was not going to replace Megan...GRRRR

[dragonflies]

I couldn't stand Marty then either, didn't get to like her till this last go round when SH returned after CC was let go

[Angela]

Maybe I was easily influenced as a 12-13 year old, but the character mainpulation right before the rape did make me root for her. I thought Marty was just shallow nasty before that and couldn't stand her. I didn't love to hate her - I just hated her. I didn't begin disliking her again until 1995. They made her way, way too sappy from then on until she went nuts last year I guess.

[Angela]

Sniffle.

[dragonflies]

I never knew Marty was created to basically replace Megan

[Cheap21]

I didnt start to like Marty till CC tookover. I almost saw her as a different character which made liking her easier. When SH returned, I thought her return story made her very sympathetic and you couldnt help but feel sorry and root for Marty

well she was a one trick pony. There were no longterm plans for her and she was only supposed to last one story but TPTB liked SH's work and developed her more and kept her on

4 more episodes left of the 90s material. After 6pm, I dont really care if I miss the episodes or not as the stuff from the last 10 years doestn interest me much. This is when OLTL started going downhill

[dragonflies]

OMG I'm sobbing my eyes out

[Angela]

I was a soap magazine virgin around this time and a kid, but it was obvious to me even with those qualifications. She was clearly there to replace the character mold of Megan on the canvas. That backfires a lot especially when you write a character that one-note in their nastiness to start with.

Soaps used to be so damn good. The picture quality isn't as good as now with Hi-Def but everything else was just perfect.

Sigh. That opening and closing music and visuals - it brings back memories.

[Ryan Chamberlain]

Wow. That was too sad.

[dragonflies]

Is that Karen Witter? My least fav Tina

Cain Rogan!

[Soapsuds]

YEah its her....I liked her as Tina.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....Luna.....

[OLTL_fan]

UGH Luna.

[dragonflies]

I liked Krista Tesreau if that's her name, better but no one tops Andrea Evans
