Members Vee Posted July 26, 2012 Members Share Posted July 26, 2012 Powell was an obvious choice for the serial killer story in 2009. I bought that he'd do it. The problem was that the storyline was executed terribly, especially the Rebecca angle. And most of all, the fact that no one could possibly sympathize with TSJ's "Todd" anymore. With RH's Todd in 1994, you knew he didn't do it, he was the underdog. With TSJ's Todd post-rapemance, who cares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted July 26, 2012 Members Share Posted July 26, 2012 Powell was thrown under the bus for the sake of Todd. Twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted July 26, 2012 Members Share Posted July 26, 2012 Oh, bull. Powell was always a creeper. I totally bought him turning psychopath in 1994. He was too nice and just swanned off as "the good rapist" at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted July 26, 2012 Members Share Posted July 26, 2012 IA. Rebecca was the only one who's characterization was off in that story but then again it had been almost 15 years since we saw her and alot can change in that time. Powell was pretty consistent with how we left him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 26, 2012 Members Share Posted July 26, 2012 I think the story would have been obvious if random characters like Talia or Wes hadn't been killed, but I never knew how that connected to Todd. Instead we got, "Oh, I wanted to frame Todd," or, "I wanted to upset John to throw him off the scent." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted July 26, 2012 Members Share Posted July 26, 2012 Powell was positively moustache-twirling in '09. He was certainly "dark" at the denouement of the serial rapist s/l, but boy did he get the ridiculous Cartini treatment upon his return. I can agree that Powell had that slimey male Lord streak in him, but the show's determination to make Todd happen felt heavy handed to me (even though Irene's diary/Lord heir was one of my all-time favorite storylines). But yeah, Suede, Powell, Kevin, regardless of their weaknesses, I didn't care for the way Todd was consistently propped at the expense of other males.

Members Eric83 Posted July 27, 2012 Members Share Posted July 27, 2012 I miss it alot too. I just don't feel the warmth and the community feel on any of these soaps the way I did on OLTL. I wonder what Viki is up too, or Roxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soapfave06 Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 I hope Ron got that tweet, not that he would give a crap. I used to go so pissed when that they only kept Dorian around for David. Her last good year for me was 2008, and slightly in 2009. And they last so much potential when they broke up her and Ray.

Members Bright Eyes Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 Robin Strasser is just wrong. Herb is the love of Dorian's life, not this Mel creature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
