Members Cheap21 Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 Jack should not be the same age range as Max's kids and Bree. Id really hoping that this version of OLTL doesn't get ridiculous with the ages. That's one mess that needs to be left behind on ABC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Winchester91 Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 I always wonder why they've been reluctant to bring Zane back as a teen because he'd be related to every damn person in town...and would be a center of much story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Winchester91 Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 Considering that Jack should be in Matthew/Dani's age ranges based on events in the early 00's...he's held back to where Bree should be now...relatively speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 well the show got incestuous with their Buchanan/Cramer pairings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 they said they knew Jeffrey from there; they didn't say he was Matthew's roommate. Im sure Matthew other people there besides Daniel and Tom. My issue had to do with the ages but since they've aged Matthew to 21, he and Dani being acquainted with Jeffrey is very plausibleBree was what, like 7 when the show went off the air? She'd be about 8 now. That's at least a 10 year gap between she and Jack. He's about to graduate HS and move onto the college scene. I really don't think he needs to or should be held back for a HS teen scene with Bree. I also think with the limited time, the show cant and shouldn't do two different scenes for the younger set (HS teens and college/young adult crowd). With Dani mentioning that she is still in school, I think Jack will get incorporated there by fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 I would say bring Max's twins for him (and do a love triangle there with Jack torn between them) or Jamie Vega or maybe bring back Shane (after killing off Gigi and Rex) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 and summer is right around the corner, I think they are keeping Jack kind of separate for this storyline, but I think by summer/fall he'll be included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 I hate to cause a certain poster to hate me--but I don't see this huge improvement in Jack's acting at all. I do see *some* improvement--but now he has this weird acting tic of really breaking up his lines--like with weird pauses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IcyOne Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 It wouldn't make sense to bring back Max's twins without him being there as well, and at this point there isn't a need for Max. Even if JdP is KdP's real life husband, still, the Max Holden character played out and has no significant ties left on the show. The Blair connection had already grown stale while he was still there, so revamping that would be a dud. Gabrielle is gone. Al is gone. Luna is gone. Cord and Tina are gone. Steve is gone. No need for Max, and thus no need for Max's twins...furthermore, Max's twins were born *years* before Jack. They were born years before Matthew, and he's 21...so they'd be at least 25, and couldn't be Jack's playmates. The only one who realistically fits in Jack's age demographic would be Jamie Vega, and hell no. I want ***NO*** Vega's on OLTL 2.0. At this point there best thing to do would be to introduce brand new peers for him to interact with, instead of trying to rehash past child characters who don't mesh with his age timeline.

Members Cheap21 Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 i will say that if they ever were to bring on Max's kids, they'd be best fit to bridge the gap between the younger 20s crowd and the early 30s (Nat, Cutter, Rama). There's about a 10 year age gap not represented on this show but thats something they can expand later on. Not really needed now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 why not??? it will bring back Angel Square.. and bring back the Latino demographic and it could bring back the Gannon family new peers??? you must forget how the audiences feels about newbies, and not past characters with ties to the show.. or how about introduce new peers who's relatives are past characters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IcyOne Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 The Vega's were wretched. Totally unlikable people, who were sanctimonious, cynical, hypocritical, dull and dour. They added nothing useful to the show. Having them gone has made the show much easier to digest. I hope I never see any of them again, including Jamie...because that would mean the worst of all the Vega's--Antonio--couldn't be too far behind. And that whole 'Angel Square' subsection was tacky. For decades the working class section of town was simply called East Llanview, where the Riley's and the Wolek's were rooted, and it was more appealing to me. "Angel Square" is just a code word for Vega, and like I said...no more of them, please. As far as the audience not liking newbies, tough. Every long running character was a "newbie" at some point. Without new characters, the show doesn't evolve, and without evolution it dies. How many storylines can the same 10 people have for decades on end?

Members cassadine1991 Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 yeah I think it's because they were Hispanic right???? that's why they were "unappealing", because they were low-income??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 I'd be fine never seeing Antonio again. Haven't missed him one bit. He annoyed the [!@#$%^&*] out of me. Always. Cristian was nice enough but they never had any interest in him, no regime really did aside from maybe a few scraps. He wasn't that bad when he was toned down. I kind of found him to be like watching paint dry. They can always off Antonio and have RJ somehow (legally if she's a teenager) be Jamie's parental figure. I think RJ would fit in beautifully on this reboot. Or I'd maybe be able to tolerate Carlotta but she was nothing but window dressing for years, unfortunately. I never minded Patricia Mauceri. I always LOLd seeing Saundra Santiago behind the counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IcyOne Posted May 10, 2013 Members Share Posted May 10, 2013 Don't try and play that card with me. Cord is Hispanic too, and I wouldn't mind seeing him and his kids again. I hate the Vega's because they were loathsome. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
