Members antmunoz Posted April 3, 2019 Members Share Posted April 3, 2019 You are aware that Marty was a psycho killer at the very end of her OLTL run, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted April 3, 2019 Members Share Posted April 3, 2019 She was a lot of things and all of them were stupid. I just chalked Marty's madness up to the evil government drugs used on Todd, Victor (and Clint on the 2013 show). Marty's well, free and I'm good to go!

Members AlexElizabeth Posted April 3, 2019 Members Share Posted April 3, 2019 This is the same show that has Franco walking around as a redeemed romantic lead. It's been years since OLTL went off the air. In soapland, she could be perfectly sane now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted April 3, 2019 Members Share Posted April 3, 2019 I can't speak to the level of depravity to include Franco, Julian and especially #Julexis in today's anniversary episode but overall, I really enjoyed it. The moments between Mac and Maxie and Elizabeth and Bobbie were my favorites. I can't remember the last time Liz and Bobbie had a scene together or discussed the rape. These episodes always have a bad habit of boiling down decades of history to "greatest hits" - like Felicia and Bobbie are "BJ's heart," Elizabeth is "rape victim" etc. but it is what it is. The Lucy and Kevin moment was also very sad and yet beautiful at the same time. I don't mind Kevin and Laura but they're a bit vanilla. I think Lucy and Kevin make more sense as a couple but I appreciated the dialogue that "just because something doesn't last doesn't mean it wasn't beautiful." Very painful and relatable. How do we feel about a possible Lucy and Scott redux? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted April 3, 2019 Members Share Posted April 3, 2019 It will always be Kevin and Lucy. I adore Laura and I'm happy Genie and JL are happy, but the couple doesn't work long-term or dramatically IMO. Laura needs and deserves a unique new love interest all her own, an adventurous character to rival her past passions. As for OLTL fans, here's Nora mentioning Marty at 2:18. The wardrobe dept was not kind to poor HBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria foxton Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 HBS looks good. The outfit isn't bad. But it's too small on her. Couldn't they get her an outfit that fits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted April 3, 2019 Members Share Posted April 3, 2019 Of course not, this is Frank Valentini's budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted April 3, 2019 Members Share Posted April 3, 2019 Laura and Kevin are definitely limited together, storyline wise. I'm good with Scott and Lucy or Lucy and Kevin. Not that it's been hinted at in any way, but I don't need another redux of Scott and Laura. That ship has long sailed, IMO. And I don't want any sort of Scott/Ava/Kevin/Laura quad either ... (again not saying it's happening, just hoping it won't) I agree Laura needs her own unique love interest, but I like Laura and Kevin together. Nothing earth shattering but too good actors and nice rapport. Long-term? I agree it's not sustainable but I guess they could be a 'tentpole' couple. A serial killer named Ben is walking around "redeemed" in Salem ... so ... lol. Psychotic breaks are just usually poorly conceived plot devices and then brushed under the rug ...

Members Vee Posted April 3, 2019 Members Share Posted April 3, 2019 Laura and Kevin are fine as a placeholder for the moment, or as triangle/quad fodder with Lucy and a new man fo Laura. But that'd require GH to invest in hiring a new male of a certain age for Genie Francis, which, good luck. That said, I have no patience for more Scott/Lucy or especially Scott/Laura as romances. They're fine interacting as friends or cohorts, but the romance angle is so dead in both cases. A massive mind-altering government conspiracy storyline also surrounded the plot which featured Marty's breakdown (during which she knew too much about said conspiracy). Since that same story even spun into Clint's own drug-induced breakdown on the PP show I have no problem pinning it all on the Illuminati! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted April 3, 2019 Members Share Posted April 3, 2019 It's simply the blazer she debuted in two years ago. GH is known to reuse wardrobe, we all know this! I think HBS might just be a touch heavier than she was in 2017 (not said to shame her) so it is what it is unfortunately. Also, this promo is still fantastic and holds up.

Members Vee Posted April 3, 2019 Members Share Posted April 3, 2019 I'm sure that's the reason, but it's still a shame they didn't alter the wardrobe accordingly IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted April 3, 2019 Members Share Posted April 3, 2019 Agreed, it is shameful. The pink blazer Genie has on in her opening credits promo shot is, on the other side of things, a bit too big, no? See below. Would a show like this really not have someone tailoring clothes?

Members AlexElizabeth Posted April 3, 2019 Members Share Posted April 3, 2019 I just watched today's episode and I can't believe they included Julian in it. I hate Franco being there too but he's at least technically family, stupid as it is. Julian made absolutely no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted April 3, 2019 Members Share Posted April 3, 2019 Right? And the flashback of #Julexis with Julian in his underwear in the hospital? Terrible! My eyes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted April 3, 2019 Members Share Posted April 3, 2019 Leslie and Monica should have been given decades to be at each other’s throats. Also- Did Denise Alexander mouth son of a bitch when she was walking away from Monica? So great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
