boards.soapcentral.com - Parsley's Trail

In this blog, I like to whine about the stories and offer my fabulous alternatives.

It is my belief that OLTL is a dying soap. It need not be.

It is my belief that universal human needs and desires made soaps popular, and that these needs and desires remain.

It is my belief that, although soaps are, indeed, a business, that business sense goes only so far and the heart must make the ruling decisions. (I offer as my proof of this Talk Radio. People support many passions that do not make good business sense.)

Soap Viewers don't really want families torn apart. They do not want devils to return as zombies. They want friends.

Kimmie & Clint, Huh?

Kimmie has been in Llanview awhile now, and I still don't know if she is being played by a good actress or not!

It is hard to tell when Amanda Setton has had nothing to do but be a selfish, narcissistic, self-absorbed, egocentric, vain, full-of-herself, redundant and self-aggrandized character. She does that very well. But this Kimmie is not the fun, conniving character we were told that Stacy's friend would be. She is simply selfish with a streak of mean.

And that is...

kEli's Coming!

I hope. I hope that the return of Kelly will hook her up with Eli. Oltl's several attempts in recent years to spark interest by bringing back characters have been pretty much a bust.

So today, I am writing an alternate ending for a story that hasn't yet begun! (Boy, do I have talent, or what!)

In London recently, Kevin mentioned that Kelly had taken their son to school. They seemed happy there. This has to be as much foreshadowing as we are likely to get… Since they...

Parsley's Trail (to stupid stories)

Why do they think we are stupid?

Okay, I am supposed to believe that Llanview, with its international airport and nearly ivy-league university, is such a small town that La Boulaie and the Riveras live in the same voting precinct? And that the Napa cottage has been recreated to look like the Brennan's PA vineyard, (even though Mitch was in a coma then and had no clue what the place would have looked like? I guess he restored it after stealing family photos?)

Parsley's Trail (to alternate oltl storylines)

Tags mitch, oltl, rex

Rex's Paternity - All the spoilers are saying that Roscoe is back to reprise Mitch Laurence this month. Phooey!

Some characters are deliciously naughty. Mitch is not one of them. He is just a pervert. Always has been. There is a reason he has been killed off so much—the character wasn't sustainable. He wasn't redeemable. Usually characters become irritating because of poor acting. Occasionally characters become irritating because the writers lose their moral compass. (Currently the...

Parsley's Alternate Endings (OLTL)

Cris & Layla

This has become a 'Why Bother?' story for me. Almost any alternate ending would be better than the forced chemistry these two are stewing over now. Layla was supposed to be the aspiring actress with sass. The Sass Scepter has now passed to Destiny and the void left in Layla has filled up with bitter sniping. As it stands, there is mo good reason for these two to be attracted to each other (unless you count lonely desperation.)...
