Members MissLlanviewPA Posted July 29, 2013 Members Share Posted July 29, 2013 I sometimes think I hate her unfairly because she displaced Gabrielle, to some, as Max's true love. I was 12 when I began watching in 2001, and I got the OLTL coffee table book for Christmas (I was a...precocious young girl. ) Seeing how much Gary Warner, who wrote the book, practically salivate over Max & Luna, and the Luna character itself, made my Gabby-loving heart seethe! That being said, I probably should the character more of a chance. I DO love her scenes with Marty (I have a weakness for female friendship scenes, even if I hate one or even both of the characters otherwise--I'm sure that's a UO), and I think I actually would have liked her with Cord. And of course, her giving Todd his scar was a Crowning Moment of Awesome (TM tvtropes.org) for her. On the other hand, the very MOMENT I hear her say "Oh my Goddess" in a scene, it just takes me out of it completely. UGH. But I'll bring it back around and end with UO: Out of all the female characters on OLTL, Gabrielle remains my favorite, and Max & Gabrielle remain my favorite couple on the show, too. And even if the show forgets they ever existed for duration of its run, I never, ever will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted July 29, 2013 Members Share Posted July 29, 2013 Same here and I'll add that I'll never understand why she was hated by anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted July 29, 2013 Members Share Posted July 29, 2013 I loved Max and Luna (and Max & Gabrielle and Max & Megan) but my love of Luna had more to do with the fact that she was such a different version of women. Yes, she veered toward Mary Sue territory but I loved her nontraditional spirituality and the fact that she was physically active whether it's the skydiving or fighting with Todd she appealed to my proto-feminist side. That was so rare for soaps and for TV in general. Remember this was pre-Joss Whedon. Women in danger usually meant they ended up hiding in the closet or falling down when they tried to get away.

Members Mr. Vixen Posted July 29, 2013 Members Share Posted July 29, 2013 I explained in my post exactly how/why I find them similar. To me, they're the same type of actress. It has nothing to do with age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aback Posted July 29, 2013 Members Share Posted July 29, 2013 I just think that given GF's age and career it's obvious she's had more chances to shine than KM. Anyway, to each their own, I don't really care Thank you for doing the math, my point stays the same. I'm a he! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted July 29, 2013 Members Share Posted July 29, 2013 Oh I agree, and I'm not really comparing the two that closely. I'm simply saying that to me they have the same acting style. Both excel at that doe-eyed, innocent, ingenue type role. GF did it better back in the day but now with her being a 50something it no longer works.

Members ajsp35801 Posted July 29, 2013 Members Share Posted July 29, 2013 The problem I find with JG is not that he is boring...it's just that he is a surface writer and more times than not miss beats that I think are important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted July 29, 2013 Members Share Posted July 29, 2013 ITA. I loved Luke as a standalone character. The actor was awesome. Despite all the angst thrown in, I could have taken or left Luke/Noah as a couple. I hated Gwen Norbeck and wanted her off the my show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members frequentsoapfan Posted October 23, 2013 Members Share Posted October 23, 2013 I find Bryan Craig to be a horrible actor. And he and Maura West have no chemistry together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
