Oh dear. I finally saw the episode of The Soup with McBain's Captain Kirk dive roll. I realize now that I will never be able to un-see it. Somebody needs to pay for making that [!@#$%^&*] happen. Really. Somebody needs to pay. I wish soaps would stop trying to write old men as young action heroes. It embarrassing for everyone involved.

Yes they do!

Just to one up ya, I'm working on TWO that have Skye in them.

Haha, just kidding about one upping you. You know I love you, m! One of the fanfics that I'm writing is the one I'm posting here, "Heaven's Meadow", and the other is sort of an alternate GH. As in, GH if I were writing it.

But I'd love to read your fic whenever you finish!

Soaps are still doing it with Luke and also Victor on Y&R.

When I watched that clip I realized how much of a problem this is with soaps. In fact it's a problem with all of television but with sops it seems more pronounced and damaging.

ME is in his mid 40s but the show insists on writing John McBain as if the character was in his early 30s. They keep trying to paint him as a love magnet/action hero and it just does't work. McBain never grows or changes. He's simply recycled from year to year. If they aren't going to write the character to match the actors age then they would be better off recasting him with a younger actor a la James Bond.

Whatever growth he experiences is always erased and he gets reset to start it all over again. Usually by a death be it his old fiancé, his dead father or his heretofore unmentioned sister. Anytime the show wants reboot him they kill somebody. I expect that his kid is the next to die.
