Members MissLlanviewPA Posted August 28, 2012 Members Share Posted August 28, 2012 The part where she says "I beg of you, I have a child," right before Fax kills her? Apparently Alice Barrett added that line in herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitch Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 One thing about the AW storyline and this scene, it was done seriously and the violence was shown to be just that, violent and horrifying. I hate when soaps took on a serial killer storyline but didnt have the balls to show that the victims died horrible deaths, i.e. that Loving craptastic storyline where people were killed by "poisioned body powder," or a "poisioned candle" (huh???) or one guy having cement or something dumped on him and he apparently just stood there, letting it harden on him and killing him (not the mention the HI-larious scene of his body falling on someone out of the casket.) It was like the SSK storyline, first it started it kind of scary and then Marlena became a stupid Freddy Krueger killing tossing off one liners. And if you think your ballsy in killing an old woman, they should have gone on the way and let us watch her choke and turn blue. In other words dont do a serial killer storyline unless you intend to show the violence on the victim and their survivors. One of the most disturbing scenes was when Brent/Marion killed Nadine and dumped her body in the garbage dumpster. I never saw a Cooper I didnt hate but poor Nadine was treated, well like garbage. I could have accepted that as most sk' s view their victims as just that, but of course McTavish had Brent doing his own bad little puns with her body.

Members Vee Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 There's also the scene where we as an audience were inexplicably forced to watch the young Jessica's porn tape on OLTL in Dena Higley's horrific Tess/Jess story. Viki and Clint sat there and watched that all hour long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hot20 Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 That scene was the first one that came to my mind when I read the question. That scene shocked the hell out of me. I could not believe that they would kill a beloved character off in such a violent manner. Seeing Nadine bludgeoned to death had me shaking. As a matter of fact, the whole Brent/Marian storyline was dark and disturbing. While I've always loved dark storylines, this one was a little too dark and it put a dark cloud over Guiding Light the whole time it played out. Ironically this storyline produced another equally shocking and disturbing scene. That scene was when Brent/Marian changed the results of Lucy's AIDs test to make her think she had AIDs. That was too much for me. Too heartbreaking to watch Lucy and her family cry hystericaly thinking she had AIDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 I've never seen that. I understand now why it bothers people so much. Especially if she was a beloved character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ellabelle Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 I had never seen that scene before this thread. That was awful to watch. At the same time though, I do kind of understand why soaps do storylines with women being raped by men they know - statistically isn't that far more likely to be the case, that most victims know their attacker instead of the unknown bad guy in a mask scenario?

Members antmunoz Posted August 30, 2012 Members Share Posted August 30, 2012 Jennifer shooting Eunice to death on SFT in 1976. Two decades before Maureen Bauer and Frankie Frame. You just DIDN'T kill off major heroines in one episode like that! I never saw it coming. Jennifer shooting Eunice to death on SFT in 1976. Two decades before Maureen Bauer and Frankie Frame.

Members frequentsoapfan Posted August 30, 2012 Members Share Posted August 30, 2012 At watching the first epi of La Reina Del Sur I have to say that rape scene where he's telling her how they killed her husband while he's raping her is horrifying! They showed him cutting off her shirt, ripping off her panties, moving on top of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 I just watched that ep (Thanks for the link.) and I have to agree. That was seriously disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juppiter Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 LOL. Funny that this happened the same year "Scream" came out and made fun of all those horror clichés and the inevitable questions they bring up to a rational thinking person.

Members frequentsoapfan Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 I was shocked and disgusted and glad vile man got what was coming to him afterwards. They certainly portrayed the vile act that rape is unlike American soaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
