Members carolineg Posted July 11, 2023 Members Share Posted July 11, 2023 The thing about Leo/Dmitri is that Leo is easily discarding the most genuine relationship he has on the show. Like it or not, Gwen/Leo has been shoved in our faces and Leo just immediately trashed that relationship to jump into bed with Dmitri. I thought he had some loyalty to Gwen, but none at all. Gwen is awful, but she has literally done nothing to deserve this treatment from Leo or Dmitri. As far as Wendy, I thought when she was introduced she was quite spunky and different. She's turned into a standard heroine at this point and she is boring. Deidre loves a blazer. Deidre has loved a blazer since forever. Of course she has 1000's. I hate the look and actually think her sleep/loungewear looks much better, but her blazers have been a thing for decades now. Pair it with a flannel and she's raring to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 11, 2023 Members Share Posted July 11, 2023 It looked hot the BroHug I really want you hug. Please register in order to view this content Johnny has always given me bisexual vibes from day one. I'm sure Tripp would play too. They're hotter than the whole Dimitri and Leo mess. You forget how both Leo and Gwen railroaded each other on pining a murder on the other. They friendship is bogus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted July 11, 2023 Members Share Posted July 11, 2023 I imagine the blazers have a room of their own. They'd pretty much have to. I don't hate it. I just accept it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted July 11, 2023 Members Share Posted July 11, 2023 You are right I did conveniently forget that. Please register in order to view this content So fair... At this point though I think they moved passed that and are bff's again? Anyhow, I think it's really crappy to do to someone you claim is your friend. It's gross. There really isn't a good reason to just let Gwen in on the plan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted July 11, 2023 Author Members Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) Well, it doesn’t have to be just over Wendy lol they rehashed everything in their scenes today. I didn’t realize how many reasons Tripp and Johnny had to really hate each other. And all this stuff with Wendy could be the spark that finally sets off the dynamite. And honestly, I just want to see a good fight Please register in order to view this content It doesn’t have to be Tripp/Johnny. It could be Eric/EJ, Chad/Alex, Brady/Xander, etc. Heres that Shawn vs Philip fight that I referred to. The camera work sucks lol but this was a good one. Just like with a lot of characters on the canvas, it was too much and they were taken too far. And fans got tired of it. And agreed, that maybe they should’ve cast a younger actor to play Leo. I knew there was something to get you to keep watching There did seem to be a lot of subtext in those scenes Sounds similar to a certain young blonde over on GH Only difference is that Gwen kind of deserves it after all the things she’s done Edited July 11, 2023 by AbcNbc247 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted July 11, 2023 Members Share Posted July 11, 2023 That's just what I was thinking yesterday when Dimitri was trying to convince Leo. Leo's got nothing to lose from telling Gwen everything and using it to sell newspapers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members carolineg Posted July 11, 2023 Members Share Posted July 11, 2023 Well, I hate to defend Joss but even she wouldn't sleep with Spencer to prove he's no good for Trina lol. That's like a Sonny thing to do lol Gwen deserves it, but it would be more satisfying coming from Sarah or something. Not someone who is her bff. It makes me feel slightly bad for her. There was no reason not to tell Gwen to begin with. I assume she would have been fine with it. And then she could have caught feelings and realized Dmitri and Leo were a thing. Now she just looks like a fool and it's a bad look for everyone involved instead of a difficult situation of fighting feelings with nuance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AbcNbc247 Posted July 11, 2023 Author Members Share Posted July 11, 2023 More misogynistic writing from Ron? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted July 11, 2023 Members Share Posted July 11, 2023 I don't interpret it as misogyny, but I think Ron often uses the trope of failing in romantic relationships to try to garner sympathy for an unlikable character. (Oh man, I just realized that I defend him far too often...) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted July 11, 2023 Members Share Posted July 11, 2023 Yup. And it's just a missed oppurtunity to make the story have more layers. Not that I am advocating a Gwen/Leo/Dmitri triangle, but it's like the ending and 'root' for couple have already had sex in one episode. No longing, no progression of feelings-it's so rushed as usual. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted July 11, 2023 Author Members Share Posted July 11, 2023 It happens lol back when I started watching OLTL, I thought he was the greatest thing since sliced bread Please register in order to view this content And i used to think something similar about garnering sympathy but after what happened with Nancy last year, I started thinking there was some misogyny there. The way that storyline was written was just gross. And that’s what ruined it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted July 11, 2023 Members Share Posted July 11, 2023 @AbcNbc247 I don't have the video, just the still. I use it as a banner pic. Scott McKinsey directed the scene & he suggested they use a jab instead of the roundhouse they usually throw. Please register in order to view this content @j swift In my opinion Ron definitely has misogyny in his wheelhouse but it's not like it's strange to have it in DAYS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
