Dear SOD
Did anybody check to see if OLTL’s Cristian had gotten any acting lessons before they hired him back?Apparently not. The writers have gotten wiser, though. They only give him five-word sentences.Here’s his script for tomorrow/yesterday/next Tuesday or whenever:
“Whaddaya mean, Nat?”
“Lemme thinkaboutdit.”
“Whaddaya mean, Vang?”
“Yeh, I know dat, Antonio.”
But, there’s the good stuff: David! Dorian! Bo/Rex! Starr! They are really the only characters that have any interesting story/dialogue.
Somebody — anybody — please dump the kiddie porn plot. That’s not entertainment, nor is it “socially informative.” The “confrontation” with the comatose old man was a copout for writers who wanted a face-to-face, but had no clue as to how to write a realistic conversation. I was fairly satisfied with the story as presented until that point. The last straw was when they decided that Antonio had to visit the old man.Sigh. Click.
I’m not turning that show back on because I’m convinced that they’re going to put Nora’s bed next to that comatose old man’s. It’ll be a real challenge for the writers to put Christian in the room with those two. That will be some snappy dialogue.
