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

[CBRVA83]

David can't be one of Destiny's sugar daddies because he isn't rich! He's just a kept man who's financially dependent on Dorian! Plus, the show is already casting a sugar daddy for Destiny!

Of course, I happen to agree. (Duh, lol.) I think it matters not a whit whether a particular gay love story trades on familiar -- and yes, dated -- tropes reserved usually for "straight" romantic couples. As a viewer, in fact, I'm at a point where I am willing and ready to welcome such a tale for a same-sex couple, if only because I think it needs to be told well before we can say these shows need to try something else. As a writer, though, you can't think about all that. All you can or need to think about are your characters. They have to tell you where they want the story to go; and however we, the audience, view it -- as bold and contemporary, or as old and cliched as the hills -- you have to worry about later.

Claire Labine (Head writer for: Where the heart is 1970-73;, Love Of Life, 1973-75;, Ryans Hope 1975-82, 1983, 1987-89, also EP 1975-82;, General Hospital, 1993-1996;, One Life To Live 1996-1998:, Guding Light, 2000-2001) always said that if you write great scenes, people will watch. ITA & have loved her since RH. Wish she was involved with OLTL again.

i'd rather have her back on GH.. Didn't really like her on OLTL, also I remember she didn't really like her time on OLTL either

so did you read all of the other pages on here surrounding this topic??

[Khan]

I did. Well, most of them. Catching up on posts is always difficult for me, because there's usually too many to parse through. Why do you ask?

[cassadine1991]

the ones on page 225 where i think Eric says some people were flirting with the whole Shane/Jack being a couple BTS

[cassadine1991]

who here has seen/read Perks of Being a Wallflower??

[Antoyne]

Did AT recently read it for summer reading?

[Khan]

[Marco Dane]

[Errol]

That's what Erika and Jerry wore for their opening, btw.

[chrishntr]

I love it!! They both look fabulous! Cannot wait to see this opening number with all of them.

[alexisfan07]

Awesome. I'm assuming Bo and Nora's was then too.

[John]

Yes it was

Mystery set - but this character likes to have a drink or two

"Dorian's" home - Only the Senator would say goodnight to
her oil painting likeness as she ascends to her bedroom.

"Lord Library" Christmas tree will go to the right
of the reading table as it has for over 40 years!

This is where "Clint" gets his coffee with a shot of espresso.

Outside the coffee shop - someday "Clint" will enter a scene on that bike!
