Members Mr. Vixen Posted November 6, 2013 Members Share Posted November 6, 2013 I personally don't think the character of Franco can be redeemed into some harmless, charming leading man. That is partially because of the writing team we are dealing with, and partially because of Roger Howarth's inept performance. If this were being written by Marland, Nixon, Labine, etc. it would be a different story because it never would have happened like this. If they had wanted to make Franco a sustainable character (which I doubt they would), they would have never taken this lazy, cornered-in "brain tumor" route. We would have had months, maybe even years, of watching Franco grow, evolve, form a conscience - genuinely start to regret his actions and begin to make amends. With this regime it's "hey look I had a brain tumor and now I can't paint. Carly please [!@#$%^&*] my brains out"….I just don't see it working, ever. Great minds. LOL.

Members ChitHappens Posted November 6, 2013 Author Members Share Posted November 6, 2013 You are ignoring a key factor here. Craptini gave you a reason for all of that behavior. Was it garbage? Absolutely, but it nonetheless explains FrankenTodd's behavior. According to you, Todd, Luke, James Stenbeck, Roger Thorpe, etc. should not have lasted more than 6 months, but they did and all were romantic leads. Good writing and character investment will get you everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted November 6, 2013 Members Share Posted November 6, 2013 Franco is not Luke, James, Roger or Todd. And we don't have good writing or character development, either. So why should any of us give a [!@#$%^&*]? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted November 6, 2013 Author Members Share Posted November 6, 2013 Vee, you are [intentionally] missing my point. I honestly don't believe we are disagreeing that much here, so I'll leave it at that. We're good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted November 6, 2013 Members Share Posted November 6, 2013 I am not intentionally missing your point, I simply have no idea what it is. As far as I can tell you're telling me that in another time and place this would work out great with better writing and a different character, admitting that it doesn't now, but telling me that I am still being unreasonable. I don't know how I am, but I don't know what else I can tell you. We're talking in circles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted November 6, 2013 Members Share Posted November 6, 2013 As a third party looking at this debate, I honestly don't think that you guys are disagreeing that much either. This issue I'm seeing is the one of what each of you as individual viewers is willing to accept/forget/handwave. RC is selling what he's selling and you are each doing what viewers do: deciding whether or not to buy it. We all decide for ourselves what our limits are and when a show has hit them. From your posts it simply seems like Vee has hit his limit whereas Chit, you are still willing to hang on. The funny thing is that neither of you is arguing that this is good writing. You're just fighting about the degree to which it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted November 6, 2013 Members Share Posted November 6, 2013 I'm not heated with Chit, she and I go around and around like this all the time. My tone can be hard to gauge, but I'm just fooling around. I think we mostly agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ms. Chandler Quartermaine Posted November 6, 2013 Members Share Posted November 6, 2013 I was crying with laughter at Franco and Carly's conversation about Morgan and Derek, Lord I was not expecting that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted November 6, 2013 Members Share Posted November 6, 2013 I wasn't sure whether to cringe or just laugh at how awful it all is. So bad. It's nice seeing Lucy and Scotty two days in a row. I also feel like I'm FINALLY seeing chemistry between Monaco and Easton again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
