It's pretty hard to get excited about someone stupid enough to attempt to "brainwash" someone with no brain. Really... consider it. I've always thought that Christian was fine eye candy, but he's never been the sharpest knife in the drawer. Shhhh honey, don't talk!
BTW, if it's Carlo Hesser (only Thom Christopher, no freaking recast) then I take it all back. :) Nah, fuck that, they'd screw him up. See Mitch Lawrence (swine hacks).
I loved the idea of the Santi story, it sounded good when I was thinking it was going to have a LOT of Dorian, Carlotta, RJ, maybe some Lindsay... but hell, it did NOT. Also, had they cast a real actor as opposed to that twit Javier Morga... even when he had good lines, he sucked. He had a lisp for God's sake, and I swear, he sounded like he was Lithuanian, NOT Spanish. Oh for God's sake, he was just pitiful.
Anyway, had they got a real actor, someone who was seductively handsome, who could really play evil and exotic then it might have been worth watching. Someone on the order of Thao Phengals (that's a FINE looking man and aging well too.. YUM) I think a lot of it had to do with finding someone who could act against KDLR and not look like Olivier... I mean they did "want" us to root for Antonio and the thought of it made me feel soiled and icky. Hell, I could have gotten real excited had him and Antonio killed each other simultaneously...
Anyway, precious little RJ in that mess, Carlotta was gone for almost the whole thing and her son was alive for three months before they even told her. As for Dorian... she had some great moments and then they'd shove her into the "I must protect my Kelly" closet. Ach... don't get me started on that mess....
It all about the six weakest ass links in the chain. You know those folks who don't ever seem to have a day off? God.. I suppose Chas was to busy writing his stupid ass book to bother writing his OLTL. Whatever... you know what I think of him and his freaking book?
Got matches?
Now, my Asa is out the door.
Bastards, would it have been good? They'd fuck up a wet dream.
