Members dragonflies Posted January 9, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 I believe he really thinks Ford didn't rape Jess, and that Victor JR didn't rape Marty, I think he had Eddie say that to make Ford "sympathetic" so to speak, have someone like evulEddie tell him he raped someone. Heavy handed writing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 That's EXACTLY what I was thinking when I first read it. I see the whole episode as him dismissing, yet again, that Ford actually raped Jessica. Hence why he went to Heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted January 9, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 RC is the same guy who couldn't understand why viewers were upset at the rapemance so it doesn't surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 I dont get why he would use the word rape then. He could have very well had Eddie call him out on his womanizing ways and how mich of an ass he used to be. RC did a big mistake by drawing attention to the Jess storyline as his intention today sure backfired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 Perhaps if people are talking about it that's all he really wants. Minimizing and romanticizing rape has been one of his main goals as headwriter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 Clint went the other way just like Dorian did once. Gabrielle seemed a bit selfish to me, she was really pushing Bo not to go back. I think the Cole recast was for the best, I think this actor plays a character as more sympathetic. It will be interesting to see who Luna could save, it's kind of hard to tell which direction that one will go in with these writers.. Mitch was totally delusional when he thought he was headed to Heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mathewson Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 I saw RC's little tweet about saying that what Ford did to Jess wasn't rape. I guess RC has just as much of a hard on for Ford as Frons and ABCD do. And Ford's "remorse" didn't do a damn thing for me. I hope Ford burns in hell. Loved seeing Stacy and Eddie drag off Mitch. I can't believe I enjoyed them today. Of course it helps that they're just back for one day and in hell. But some of the characters still on the show are even more unbearable (Jack, Ford, Jess, Rex, Delphina, Nate, James) than they ever were. I never saw Megan the first time around. I've always liked Jessica Tuck though. I think I'll go and see if I can find any good scenes with Megan before she died. Luna is still a freak, but if she sent Ford off to burn in hell, I'll be eternally grateful to her. I'm so glad Jack, Rex, and Gigi weren't on today. Great show if I take out the Ford/James/Jess crap (aside from Ford being tortured and finally dying!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 There are a lot of great Megan scenes on Youtube. This is one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alexisfan07 Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 RC's recent comment to a fan... @carlivatiron Thinking someone is 17 due to ECT and not being able to make rational choices = mentally impaired and unable to give consent. RC: Not true. Jess KNEW she wasn't 17. Ford took advantage of an amnesiac who was upset that her H.S. boyfriend got engaged. #notrape @carlivatiron Breaking a woman out of a mental institution and having sex with her = rape. RC: Then I assume you think Nash was a rapist too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 Why is the headwriter playing fan wars? Does he know there were more than a few fans who did not like Jessica with Nash or with Ford? I wish he'd spent half the time pacing and telling stories that he has spent blurring the lines about consent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 Oh GMAFB Retcon Carlivati. He undermines his own storytelling by unsuccessfully retconning "wrongs" to make them "right". So Jess was just pretending to be 17? This is so stupid and it's making me lose my warm nostalgic glow in the show's final week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 To me a lot of his nostalgia has always felt hollow and slightly bitter anyway - I am enjoying the returns and am glad to see some material for the vets, but otherwise I think a lot of what he and others did to OLTL is still on glaring display. The OLTL I will generally remember is on Youtube and ends around 1995. It's always annoyed me that he is one of those writes who gets this hero worship - already so much talk about how he's going to save GH. It's just Sheffer all over again.
