Members Marco Dane Posted April 3, 2012 Members Share Posted April 3, 2012 Wasn't John's sister on OLTL is he talking about that one ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted April 3, 2012 Members Share Posted April 3, 2012 LOL...good one. Not everyone watched AMC either so I guess maybe thats why none of Anna's history is being referenced. John only had 2 female relatives on OLTL, his mother Eve and cousin Shannon She was awful on OLTL. She was a great child actor but she's been dreadful as a teen and now young adult. Im hoping Sonny pops a cap in her head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted April 3, 2012 Members Share Posted April 3, 2012 Oh and know and it annoys me too. As I've seen enough of OLTL to know I never liked it like I did GH or AMC. And it hasn't exactly been worknig so far with this contrived OLTL story on GH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted April 3, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 3, 2012 Ugh, the Anna/Amc thing annoys me SO much... I thought John had a sister mentioned in passing though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted April 3, 2012 Members Share Posted April 3, 2012 If he did, she never was on OLTL. The only 2 female family he had come to town are the two I mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted April 3, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 3, 2012 Oh yeah, she wasn't ever on the show but I coulda sworn they mentioned one at some point.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted April 3, 2012 Members Share Posted April 3, 2012 I loved the use of history today when Sam's baby was mentioned. The show rarely acknowledges Lila. Forgot that Heather was on last time Sam was pregnant Was Steve's story about Heather true today? She became crazy bc she took a drug meant for someone else? She wasnt crazy before that? He made it sound like the only reason she is the way she is today is bc of that drug as if she wasnt messed up before it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ghfan89 Posted April 3, 2012 Members Share Posted April 3, 2012 The way Marland wrote Heather and the way subsequent writers wrote Heather were quite different. Marland's Heather wasn't malicious, rather her actions were shown to be out of a sense of desperation. Heather was very conflicted if it was the right thing to do up until she put the LSD in Diana's drink, but when they brought Heather back from the mental institution a year later, they were already making her seem more devious, as if she sought out to try to kill Diana, which wasn't what Marland wrote. Here's an interesting interview with Mary O'Brien, who played Heather during the LSD scene: http://tvmegasite.net/day/gh/q&a/05-28-08o'brien.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cyberologist Posted April 3, 2012 Members Share Posted April 3, 2012 Some McBain fans I post with says No. They never mentioned a sister in his 8 years on the show....he had a brother who was on the show, and a female cousin.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted April 3, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 3, 2012 The story goes (something) like this: Heather was really devious, malicious, maybe a little bit evil, when she was first introduced. But she wasn't outright evil. She had some sense of conflict regarding her actions,as well as a little bit of a conscience. Then, she slipped LSD into Diana's drink. However, Heather ended up accidentally drinking it instead, and went crazy. She was shipped off to a mental hospital, and came back in the form of Robin Mattson, I believe. since then, she's been pretty much batshit crazy, and if we're supposed to go by the 2004 storyline, evil and murderous.

Members DRW50 Posted April 3, 2012 Members Share Posted April 3, 2012 I'm not really sure if the Heather of most of Mattson's last few years (in the early 80s) was crazy. Wasn't she mostly just a schemer? I know she planned to kill Diana, but after that wasn't she mostly just involved in money plots with Scotty? When in the world did Anna have time to mentor the unwashed moper? She was a spy until about 1985, then was rarely absent from GH until the early 90's, was amnesiac until about 2001, and was seen on AMC until early 2003. Did she just do this offcamera? What is the point of shoehorning in all these fake-ass ties between John and GH characters? Does it makes his relationship with Sonny any less boring or predictable? Does it make Anna any less of a cipher under RC's pen? Does Anna have any purpose beyond propping the men on this show? If people like John it's because they hate Sonny and Jason. Not because of contrived ties to random characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted April 3, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 3, 2012 Heather was kind of crazy during RM's tenure, but she was never as crazy as she was in 2004. We'll see what 2012 brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 3, 2012 Members Share Posted April 3, 2012 Based on RC's writing on OLTL, I'd expect a lot of haha mental illness scenes and hostage crises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted April 3, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 3, 2012 Will Sonny rape her out of love? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 3, 2012 Members Share Posted April 3, 2012 That would more likely be Connie, Carly, or Starr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
