Scott and Bobbi still going strong.......

BOBBIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Oh, that does my heart so good. Never stop loving either. 

I like Scott a lot more now that it seems he's finally gotten over Laura

I've "known" and loved Scotty since the character was a young child, and I have ALWAYS wanted him and Laura to be an "end-game" couple. To heck with that icky degenerate rapist with the bad perm, LOL.

I see what you mean. (That perm really was something else for sure lol). All I've known is Luke and Laura, but from what I've read on here, it really does seem that Scott got the short end of the stick and the writers turned him into a salty douche just to prop up Luke. It's nice to see the current writers finally correcting that.

Originally, Scotty was a true-blue, compassionate, supportive and loving young man. When TPTB inexplicably and irresponsibly decided Laura should abandon him without warning and run off with her HOODLUM RAPIST (!!!), suddenly the show started portraying Scotty as the villain of the story for "daring" to be infuriated that his wife had lost her mind and was acting like an idiot, and because Scotty loathed the criminal deviant who had destroyed Scotty's marriage and ruined his life.

 

PFFFFT!

 

This has burned me up for 39 long years! LOL!

I'd probably feel the same way if I had watched it in real time

Many fan gurls in the audience were delirious from Luke-mania (during public appearances with Tony Geary, they would shriek, "Rape me! Rape me, Luke!!!!") and eagerly stepped aboard the we-hate-Scotty bandwagon. UGH.

Kin Shriner does not age.

No he doesn't and I'm glad he's left his face alone and hasn't botoxed it to death like JZ and LC

It's interesting that by the time Kin returned they seemed to make Scotty more of a love-to-hate type rather than a genuine hate figure. I wonder if that was just down to Kin's charisma, or if they realized they had to move on since Genie had quit.

Do you know, roughly, how old the character was supposed to be when he first debuted in 1965?

i think 7 or 8

I'd still do him today, LOL, but way back in the late 1970s and early '80s, he was what we used to call a dreamboat. Yum. Laura was an idiot to abandon him for that icky Luke. Shudder.

About 8-ish.

I kind of like that Scotty has all those facets.  I like that Laura kind of broke him and he came back with an edge.  He wasn’t outright evil, just a schemer and an opportunist.  I also love it when we see the original Scotty, like with Serena and his family and Dominique.

 

Laura was most ruined by the Luke and Laura thing than anybody.  By the time they got married she stopped being her own character and was tied to him.  Sometimes Labine and Guza would make you remember she is interesting in her own right but not like every regime did with Luke.

 

She was his angel, not an angel.  He was her hero, not a hero.  When they remember that Laura has been on the run, and can be dangerous, is when I get excited.  She wasn’t a saint even when Bobbie was after Scotty and she was in the way.  Certainly not as experienced as Bobbie, but no saint.

 

I think 1979 Scotty would have faded away on this show and the Scotty that returned in 1981 is why he still comes and goes.

 

If anything, a real miss was him not marrying into the Quartermaines.  He would have fit right in.
