Members BetterForgotten Posted August 11, 2022 Members Share Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) Not a DID story, but in these riveting scenes from Search for Tomorrow, Jennifer Pace (played by Morgan Fairchild) has who she believe is the voice of John Wyatt in her head before shooting and killing Jo's sister Eunice.

Members Planet Soap Posted August 12, 2022 Members Share Posted August 12, 2022 I see a lot of longtime fans on the threads don't really like that story. I didn't really mind the plot because of, as I mentioned, how they gave Tess more of a distinct identity compared to Nikki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted August 15, 2022 Members Share Posted August 15, 2022 Any longtime fan of the show didn't like it because we saw Jessica's childhood. We also saw Jessica as a teenager and she didn't act like that. The whole story was stupid and damaging to Jessica, Viki and Clint as characters.

Members Vee Posted August 16, 2022 Members Share Posted August 16, 2022 That story destroyed Jessica and did a lot of damage to the show. They did it because Dena Higley was a one-trick stunt queen and because Bree Williamson, a very vibrant personality, was bored playing Jessica, who she was incapable of giving much depth beyond the often poor scripts. Erin Torpey never had that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Noel Posted August 16, 2022 Members Share Posted August 16, 2022 YES!!!! I was always hoping Solita would have killed Reva. Of course, I was let down. Michelle Forbes though. Whew! That woman is phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Joseph Posted August 17, 2022 Author Members Share Posted August 17, 2022 Thanks This Reminded Me of Another One: Morgan Fairchild as J.

Members Spoon Posted August 18, 2022 Members Share Posted August 18, 2022 Sonny and Solita were twins, the writer strike then happened with the scabs having Solita's remains exhumed. When Long returned she had to make sense of the mess as her original story was altered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StevieM Posted August 23, 2022 Members Share Posted August 23, 2022 Wait, are you talking about the DID story? It sounds like you may be referring to something else. In early 2010 Jessica was given electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) by Mitch Laurence. That, along with a gunshot and an attempted rape, caused her to block out the previous 13 years of her life. She regressed to being a teenager and thought she was in her senior year of high school. Many long-time viewers commented that teenage Jessica acted nothing like the way she was written during this storyline. Adult-teen Jessica was immature and goofy. Actual teen Jessica was mature beyond her years. The part I hated the most was her indifference to her daughter Bree, aside from being loving, as well as level-headed, during their first meeting. It seemed like RC didn't feel he could write the story he wanted for Jess/Christian/Layla without turning her into a bratty teen, who was not the least bit interested in motherhood.

Members Planet Soap Posted November 26, 2022 Members Share Posted November 26, 2022 (edited) Fair points. OLTL's writers already damaged Viki when they wrote that Viki (not Nikki) subconsciously allowed Mitch to take Jessica after the twins' births. Even worse, they re-wrote that Nikki left childhood Jessica at bars where she was then molested. It always bad when RETCONS utilize outrageous story points despite what played out on screen. Again the main saving grace of the '05 Tess story is that she was a better written character than Nikki with a clear motivation. Selzak's (who I love) portrayal of Nikki became increasingly cartoonish into the 2000s with some cringe moments. WTH? Never heard of this plot. Was it well written...seems like an unnecessary story point to me. Edited November 27, 2022 by ironlion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Planet Soap Posted November 26, 2022 Members Share Posted November 26, 2022 (edited) Indeed, the Alexis story is what I'm referring to. Do you know if the Dobson butler masquerade story was well recieved? Edited November 27, 2022 by ironlion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted November 26, 2022 Members Share Posted November 26, 2022 When GH's Felicia was hit by the motorcycle, began calling herself Phoebe, and had a fling with hair enthusiast Dekker Moss, do you think they meant to write that as a DID story line or an amnesia/alternate identity plot? Neither seemed credible, but given the lack of diagnosis on soaps, I wonder what they intended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
