Members rhinohide Posted February 8, 2013 Members Share Posted February 8, 2013 Ok. I hated that stuff. But it was never presented as something to squeeeeeee over. And I loathe Ron and think he's the second worst thing that ever happened to OLTL. His salacious view of incest and rape disgusts me. But I can't accuse him of presenting it as something people are supposed to find romantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted February 8, 2013 Members Share Posted February 8, 2013 I agree that it wasn't supposed to be seen as romantic. I saw it as someone's idea of trashy torture porn, nasty stuff. But no one wants to hear me go on and on about dead horses, so I will agree to disagree on that topic. I hope so. With the proper writing I think she's one of the best soap actresses.

Members marceline Posted February 8, 2013 Members Share Posted February 8, 2013 Oh yay. We're back to trying to figure out whether or not Ron meant one of his many rape stories to be funny or sexy. It must be Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members beebs Posted February 8, 2013 Members Share Posted February 8, 2013 WIN! I'm actually on the fence about how much of that was Frons' influence, since he hasn't done anything anywhere near as revolting on GH as of yet, and they're the ORIGINATORS of the "rapemance" concept. I'm sure there's still time for them to prove me wrong though :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted February 8, 2013 Members Share Posted February 8, 2013 Which reminds me... Aren't we overdue for another 2006 debate in the GH thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted February 8, 2013 Members Share Posted February 8, 2013 Well, shades of it are over at GH. Konnie raping herself and becoming the Comedic Whore of Port Charles, trying to sexually assault anything with a penis. Joe the rapist being the lovestruck hero that saved Tracy's life. So, yeah... rape is still being treated as a fun and exciting color to add to characters over there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted February 8, 2013 Members Share Posted February 8, 2013 Ron was way to defensive and trying to sell rapemance way to hard to blame that one on Frons, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 8, 2013 Members Share Posted February 8, 2013 Right--and then doing the same about the Jessica/Ford retcon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kendall Posted February 8, 2013 Members Share Posted February 8, 2013 I hope PP rekindles Viki and Dorian's rivalry. like in this clip when Viki goes hard in the paint http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn6dA2zk1xE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted February 8, 2013 Members Share Posted February 8, 2013 I hope not. I think both characters had grown past that and they shouldnt be thrown back as rivals for nostalgic sake. I dont think it really fits them today and hasnt in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cher1989 Posted February 8, 2013 Members Share Posted February 8, 2013 Thank you. I'm good with the two women not liking each other. The" I'm now your best friend" did not ring true in the least for me. I have no idea why Viki and Dorian were suddenly besties except the writer wanted it and it's probably easier to write. I liked the" sometimes friends (because we're stuck here) but I really dislike you, OK but I respect you" relationship. I think capable writers who understand women can make it intriguing. Both characters suffered from being written immaturely and trivalizing feelings built over years that made them dislike each other. I've seen too much over the years by BOTH parties, that make it unbelievable that they would be friends. In the clip, isn't Viki exposed for having an affair with Sloan?

Members DRW50 Posted February 8, 2013 Members Share Posted February 8, 2013 The problem with the rivalry was that it had become shockingly immature and silly, especially Viki's reactions. If they are rivals I would much rather see maturity and respect, mixed with some tension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
