Dandesun March 13, 2015 Share March 13, 2015 I suppose it was inevitable that the soap genre, after killing the majority of actual soaps and hacking away at the budgets for the few remaining ones, would keep attempting to find a 'legitmate' place in reality shows. It depresses me, though. It's just so... pointless. And it's so much more empty than the actual soaps were. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7372-all-episodes-talk/page/4/#findComment-922297
TeeVee329 March 13, 2015 Author Share March 13, 2015 Well I guess the premise of the reality show is that the six women are producing and starring in a pilot for a primetime soap.

Dandesun March 19, 2015 Share March 19, 2015 Oh please, Chris Claremont wanted to do that story decades ago with Mystique and Nightcrawler. (Mystique is a shape-shifter and the idea was that she shifted into a man in order to impregnate her long time companion, Destiny, that would result in Kurt Wagner.) If network brass were the type to shy away from that a mere five years ago, you can imagine how Marvel editorial reacted back in the 80s. What I'm saying is...

Dandesun March 19, 2015 Share March 19, 2015 I don't think that's what you were saying TeeVee. I'm saying that's probably what Ron thought of himself. As a sidenote, Chris Claremont wrote women better in serial fiction than many still do today. His X-Men run was astounding. His women were fierce and he always went into creating new characters with 'is there any reason this can't be a woman?' which was ground-breaking in and of itself in superhero comics. His writing wasn't perfect by any means but he was far more interested in pushing the envelope than most writers in any kind of serialized format. That's one of the many things about Ron... he doesn't write women very well at all. He has a very narrow definition of what he likes and you either fit into it or you don't. Meh. As for Bold and the Beautiful's latest move... hoo boy. I think it's gutsy on the one hand and I have hope that they treat transgender with class and respect but given the current soap genre, I'm not expecting that to last. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7372-all-episodes-talk/page/4/#findComment-944554

Max & Gabrielle were going to get married, but Max was in a car accident while he went to, I think, get the rings/marriage license and was presumed dead. He was badly burned and needed plastic surgery on his face, hence the recast. Needless to say, the plastic surgery stuff was retconned the moment JDP returned in 1991. In this scene, Max finds out what happened to his face, while Gabrielle denounces God after his funeral. I actually think NW and Fiona had almost as much chemistry as she and JDP, but it still pisses me off that there was never an M&G with JDP as Max.

Mostly old fashioned soapy drama, I guess. During this time, Cord seemed to be getting close to Gabrielle's younger sister Debra (although I think by this point, he and Gabby had gone out a bit too--sort of confused about that!), and Gabby called Karen Witter's Tina in San Diego (where Tina went to live after AE left), and she and CJ came back to Llanview. Before he said he was Max, he and Gabrielle had a VERY hot love scene in the Buchanan's horse stables (yes, before T&B, M&G were getting their freak on among the horses :P).
