HOLY BOOBS

I think Cord and Tina should have been back until the end, they should have not only played a part in the Mitch stuff (well at least Tina) but I think that they should have been there with Clint/Viki.

Honestly, to me it's less about this and more about the writer's way of playing fast and loose with history, much of which he wrote himself, and bending over backwards to make this character "happen".

It also just seems lazy and pointless. Aside from a double wedding episode, nothing of value has come out of this story, not in a year and a half. It's sobering to think that this is what Jessica has become - she's so irrelevant that she spent today having lines like, "Where's Starr?"

I do agree there are double standards about male/female relationships, but I can't think of any scenario on this show or most shows where you would have an older woman paired with a man who has a diminished mental age - unless you count David and Dorian. And then it becomes - why was this done in the first place? OK, what he did wasn't a big deal, he's a great guy, who cares - then why did they have him getting turned on about her when she thought she was 17? Is this just supposed to be so incredibly sexy that it had to be told (and then rewritten about four times)? The same thing happened with Tarty - was there ever a point to this, beyond the writer apparently getting off on a scenario about a man with a mentally impaired woman?

It helped that Crystal Hunt was paired with JVD, an actor who knows what he's doing. JPL and Farah Fath are the biggest reasons why I can't stand Rex and Gigi. They even sucked the life out of Scott Clifton. That, and it helps that Stacy was only back for today and in hell along with Eddie. Though some of the characters on the show are even more unbearable. It would have been funny if Stacy made some bitchy comments about Clint choosing Viki over her darling Kimmy.

I'm disappointed I didn't get to see NASH torture Ford, but I guess that wouldn't have been as fitting. Those tweets from RC made it obvious that they're still sugarcoating everything Ford did to Jessica.

I didn't find Gabrielle trying to seduce Bo offputting, but then again I almost never get offended even when I should. It was a nice nod to her history.

I didn't think it was offputting as much as it was a little confusing - if she was supposed to help him, then she went about it a strange way; their relationship was never really about hot sex, and I couldn't tell if she thought this would draw him into the other life, or if she was trying to get him to stay with Nora, or if she was just very horny. The scenes were fun but also somewhat pointless. I wonder if they wrote something with Gabrielle and Max but then they couldn't get JdP or they were told not to bring him back.

Hunt and JvD did work well together. The contrast between Stacy/Clint and the Fords was striking - I actually bought what was going on with Stacy and Clint, whereas JWS still seemed stuck in one of SNL's old Bad Theater sketches. Even the whole "bursting through from black to white" moment was less ridiculous with Clint - he didn't look like a dumbass headless chicken.

Oh sh-t Clint's in hell and he sees Stacey! The REAL Stacy and not Gigi clone. WTF. did NOT know she was returning. Was that in spoilers? I didnt even read her in casting news

That surprised me too, but really, why should I have been surprised that Ron brought back his favorite character one last time...

Anyone else think that Stacey was Tess at first?

From the silhouette I did (do alters get to go to the afterlife? :P )

  • Member

Okay, why the [!@#$%^&*] is going from heaven to hell like going to the next apartment to borrow sugar??

That bugged me too, except I guess it mkaes some sort of sense (within the show's logic)--I take it in both cases they were still in a sort of purgatory (ie Between Heaven and Hell) one room leading towards Hell if they went into the flames, the other leading towards Heaven if they went through the glowy door... Not actually Heaven and Hell. I was more curious as to why Stacy and Eddie got chosen as the Devil's ambassadors, etc--I guess Stacy had connections with Mitch but Eddie didn't... But I suppose they were already in the neighbourhood...

Cole's chest is moving LOL

Well he as meant to still be breathing--it's not that strange :P

I wonder if she knows he's with her lookalike (or was when he left the show).

I forgot about that, did they ever explain why she had a double>

  • Member

OMFG LUNA COULD ONLY SAVE ONE. FORD IS DEAD!!!!!!! OMG I'VE NEVER BEEN THIS HAPPY

I'm spoiler free miraculously but I have a feeling that's not what happened... Grr

Jessica thinking she was 17 is irrelevant. She wasn't. It looks bad and skeevy on Ford, but she chose to have sex with him. #OLTL

@SourceRyan The voice of reason. #OLTL

For the life of me I can't understand tweets--did Ron say that was the voice of reason? If so.... Sigh

  • Member

I think the Stacy and Clint scenes worked because Hunt and JVD have known each other for years. It wouldn't surprise me in the least, if they talked out the scene prior to filming to make it better. I've read enough stories and heard comments from actors (mainly from GL) about how he mentored people. Of course, that past made things incredibly creepy when she was running her fingers up his arm, as my brain was thinking--hello that's your great uncle ewww. Why are you flirting with him?!

  • Member

I forgot about that, did they ever explain why she had a double>

No. The implication was she'd helped him find the perfect woman...who looked just like her.

  • Member

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

Not even heavy handed just downright inconsistent, plot driven and condescending. LOL not impressed.

  • Member

You know what bugs me about the Ford Jessica stuff most is that bloggers and the soap press seem to go out of their way to avoid criticizing RC of anything but don't hesitate to go after Y&R for things as repulsive and its completely warranted so why does Ron get a free pass,

  • Member

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

Wasn't it For who kinda caused Hannah to initially snap as well due to him using her (another underaged student) for sex? I ws surprised nobody mentioned that it's due to Ford in a very indirect way that Cole was killed--Ford SHOULD sacrifice his life for that :P So there.

  • Member

BTW, whotf is Luna to be deciding who gets saved? #churchboythoughts

I think the reasoning is more who wants to be saved more which I guess is meant to be Ford from all we've seen. Sigh--even if he had to climb out of Hell where he was first placed. In Llanview Heaven angels are allowed to only save one?
