Members Skin Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 I originally thought that they were going to say that Connie was abused by an Uncle or something and that was the reason she hated her family and her old life of Connie. I thought they were going to imply that her family just let those things happen to her which is why she completely ignored her old life as Connie and created the identity of Kate Howard. That would make more sense then whats on screen right now. I always thought that some of the tension between Kate/Connie and Olivia would make more sense then. The current story has never made sense and as of now there has been very little reasoning for why Connie is manifesting in this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SweetPea36 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 Of course it's ridiculous. You can't possibly think I was being serious, can you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SweetPea36 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 I spend a lot of time with my tongue planted in my cheek. It's pretty much default position. Sorry for the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 the story hasnt even been told yet. It could very well be that she was raped and given this regime's history, I wouldnt be surprised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 Plenty of people have been raped too and don't develop alternate personalities. Constant trauma and a consistant basis would traumatize you enough to develop various disorders. Not one time things. Please that's a lame excuse I know more than one rape survivor.

Members Cheap21 Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 and plenty do. How do you know it was just a one time thing? Im not saying thats what caused her DID. I dont know what did as I havent read anything but Im willing to let the story play out and not assume its merely bc she was pregnant until the show says that is the only reason why she is a mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 There seems to be no story. It's just made up as it goes along. Whatever the show thinks gets us hot, they will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 Exactly they have no plans laid out for this story. I don't see how anyone can defend this poorly written dreck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 It's a mess for sure and should have ended when Jason found her and took her to get help. Bringing on new alters and delving into her backstory is just asking for trouble. I definetly see this long lost kid, if she actually gave birth driving this story for the next few months. I see a repeat of the Rex drama from the mother angle and I wonder how many retcon kids of Connie we will get along the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 I wouldn't be surprised either. Nevertheless, I think it would be insulting to real rape victims to suggest hers caused her psyche to split. Repeated childhood trauma and abuse? No question. An isolated incident of sexual assault? Nuh-uh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if Ron tells us Kate/Connie is actually Mikkos Cassadine's long-lost daughter, and that Helena brainwashed her with this ridiculous alter ego in order to get revenge on her late husband and his "Bensonhurst broad."

Members Mr. Vixen Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 This just in: Connie and Sonny's long lost daughter is none other than One Life to Live's KASSANDRA KAVANAUGH! Kourtney Kardashian RETURNS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 Exactly it's an insult. I know someone who got raped as a child by her father. Yes it was tramatic but her psyche didn't split and she's one of the happiest, upbeat people I know who lives life to the fullest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
