One Life to Live OLTL: The Prospect Park Era (old production thread)

[cassadine1991]

well this says it all on them

[Khan]

I must have been on crack to think they made a good pairing.

[cassadine1991]

what makes you say that?

[jfung79]

I just watched this, so no, he was on the phone with Kim, then she hung up on him and he called his mother Alex. His last scene was on the phone with Alex.

[Khan]

No way would any level-headed EP or network executive put two boys that young into that kind of story. It'd be awkward as hell -- for them, and for us.

[cassadine1991]

these are better pics though

well AT was 16 and AW was like 15, but they did say in an interview they would've done it if that was the direction they were going, now it's 2013 they aren't so young anymore

[Khan]

Forget it, dude. The ship's sailed.

[cassadine1991]

well yeah Shane isn't coming back...

[Khan]

At this point, if we were going the "gay route" with Jack, I'd rather see him in a relationship with an older guy. (Okay, so, yeah, he IS more of a twink than Shane after all.)

[cassadine1991]

yeah he is, he's such a twink, well I think it's more of the actor who's a twink... it sucks Jeffrey will be with Destiny.. i'd get behind that pairing (J+J). but the guy whoever it is should be 3-4 years older

[Vee]

I think you'd have had to wait a few years to seriously pair those two up with anyone back then, let alone each other. Shane looked like a little boy for most of 2011 and a very young teenager otherwise. It would have had to be strictly chaste.

Could you do a young love story with Jack (or Shane) now? Yes, but even so I wouldn't go too crazy with the intimacy too soon. Even if AT is legal.

[Khan]

Do you mean a gay love story, Vee, or a straight one?

[cassadine1991]

well yeah, especially do to their ages.. unless they gone the whole Parker/Liberty thing ATWT, where they only just take off shirts and FTB.; that's part of the reason why the whole Jack/Neela was too soon and way to unrealistic and cringeworthy..

that would be kind of hard especially with AT, to ease up on the intimate stuff with him.. he was 16 and they showed him shirtless three times and he had his own soaphunks profile as soon as those scenes aired

[jfung79]

I think straight love stories are attempted with kids in their teens -- Parker and Liberty, Mick Hazen was only about 15 or 16 -- so it's kind of a double standard that it would be "too awkward" for a gay one.

[Khan]

. Perhaps it's due to the late hour, but that sentence makes no sense to me. Are you saying...what are you saying?

Wait, wasn't the girl who played Liberty (blanking on her name at the moment), like, 28 or something when that couple was happening?
