Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 I don't beleive LM/Kristina is the reason Trey flopped as a character and the barely written for pairing didn't catch on. Trey flopped because they hired soemone too old for the role and thought they could rely on his abs to draw women in. When that didn't work we were supposed to feel sorry for him for having an evil mother and then because his father died and then he was suddeny so poor he had to live and work at the church. And that romantic pairing with Kristina was basically non existant onscreen. She returns to town centering her life around him for reasons we didn't see onscreen, he helps his father with a plot that almost got her kileld and witin weeks she's centering her life back around him becuase she feels sorry for him. Where was the romance in that again? This Lulu/Dante/Maxie baby story was never interesting. Not even from the begginng and has only gotten more nonsensical as it goes on. Was there nothing else they could've done beyond another lame baby story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 What you said. Some roles just can't be recast and my beloved Dru is one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted January 24, 2013 Members Share Posted January 24, 2013 I think Dominique Jennings from SuBe could have made a good Dru in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 24, 2013 Members Share Posted January 24, 2013 Dru would have been decimated by any writer or producer on Y&R in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted January 24, 2013 Members Share Posted January 24, 2013 Your take on the Lulu/Maxie baby story is far far far from unpopular As for Trey, I did think he was one of the more viable new characters RC added--particularly since we're obviously gonna be focusing on Connie for a long time and he makes her more interesting. But obviously atsome point last Fall they decided they were gonna kill him off, and then in a style that RC has been known to use before--they played the remaining beats of his story largely off-screen--like his two scene reconciliation with Kristina--he was just killing time off screen while they waited for the big moments of his death, so I do agree with most of your takes.

Members Cheap21 Posted January 24, 2013 Members Share Posted January 24, 2013 Trey's death seemed so abrupt be did seem very viable. They just stopped writing for him and Kristina and that never made sense for me, especially bc of how they were pushing Connie. I dont get killing off her son as thats one tie she has on the show that they could have built around her bc as it stands there are very few that give a damn about her. Its pretty much just Sonny and sorta Olivia. Trey could have been used to build something with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted January 24, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 24, 2013 Not Josh Griffith. But yes, I'd hate to see what MAB would've done with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 24, 2013 Members Share Posted January 24, 2013 Griffith would just manage to make even Dru seem plain and boring. Though, I supposed that's better than any of the OTT stereotypical crap Maria would've given her if she had the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted January 24, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 24, 2013 I don't think any writer could do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted January 25, 2013 Members Share Posted January 25, 2013 The concept of a son could've possibly made her more interesting but he looked entirely too old to be her son and the story was just not there. And I'm tired of the blaming the female character because the half assed story flopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted January 25, 2013 Members Share Posted January 25, 2013 Lol sorry the last part wasn't directed at you. But I've been on a few different sites where they blamed LM/Kristina for the "Romeo and Juliet type romance that should've easily worked" and for Trey "not reaching his full potential as a character" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
