I'm not sure I would really call it redeemed. He was less scummy. I think originally RH who played the part wanted him to be a total psycho and was pissed that they decided to make him some what redeemable. I don't really consider him redeemed though. Not Jack Devereaux redeemed anyway. |

Yeah, I've read a few different times that RH really didn't like his character being made into a romantic lead. I've also read that part of the reason he initially left the show is because the writers wanted to pair him with his rape victim. He totally balked at the idea and walked. Can't say I blame him, to be honest. (They did that story years later with recast Todd, but...). |

One of the greatest love stories on Daytime was Luke and Laura and it started with a rape so surely it is possible to let a rapist be romantic lead but it requires a good story, and quite honestly I do not think it is the case with Chase and Ciara. It feels more like that this story is to shake and see if it stick |

That's why I can never get behind the pairing of Luke and Laura either. Sorry. Just can't do it. |

I understand :) I just remembered that Bill and Laura Horton also started with rape. |

Yeah neither could I. I never got the appeal of Anthony Geary. |

I actually liked Luke in the late 90s - thought he was a good character - but never saw what all of the hoopla was about in terms of Luke and Laura. In fact, I much liked Laura with Stephan. :D Posted Image Edited by frivolity, Feb 12 2016, 05:41 PM.

I dont think they would take the time and effort (nor do I trust they have the talent) it takes to redeem Chase after something like this though. I think its just a catalyst to give something big and dramatic with lasting effects for JV/Ciara, and Chase is just collateral damage

I remember Marty having amnesia and Todd taking care of her. That was just so uncomfortable for me as a viewer. Rape is terrible and really no story with the victim and rapist falling in love is justifiable really, but this one was so brutal it would have been probably one of the most disgusting things a soap could do. I'm glad RH walked if that was his reasoning. |

I think that's when they wrote Luke the best...in the 90's. Ironically, I think TG hated those years because they were not bowing to his wishes. :) |

All these stories are boring! Same damn characters. Why do we need another Hernandez. I hope the next batch of spoilers are better. |

Marty's gang rape: Marty --> Marty was a drunk, mean slut. A complete mess. I didn't like her at all until they started doing back story about her parents pre-rape. Marty & Todd actually do hook up before the rape. She asks Todd to stay after they hook up and he's alarmed and leaves in a cruel manner. Marty's been tutoring him so when Todd fails his big test he thinks Marty set him up because he did not stay the night. Todd --> Leads the gang rape after Marty makes a stupid jock fool of him at a party while he was trying to make a dumb slut fool of her. Todd goes on to continue to try to rape her for about 6-8 months more. Attempts to rape other women. Psychotically stalks women. Kills a man. We do see pre-rape that Todd's father is a nasty person. Zack --> Throw away follow the leader rapist. Powell --> Rapist with a conscience that could barely get it up because he was sickened by what he was allowing himself to take part in. He eventually tries to kill himself and Marty has to talk him out of it. Chase wouldn't be hard to redeem unless they make him a during/after rape Todd. Right now on the OLTL scale, he's more pre-rape Todd mixed with original recipe Powell. They're either going to make the kid take the Todd during/after rape turn (evil), or they're going to show Andre pushing every button he has, Chase acting on impulse and then being regretful after. I also wonder how long they can have Ciara keeping this a secret with Chase living under the same roof? In character, he would not be okay with what he did, and she clearly would be terrified of him. Andre will be neutralized somewhat during this time unless he somehow gets out of the false murder charge, so Hope is more likely to notice something is not right. I don't care if they redeem Chase or not because I have no real attachment to him though. Edited by AngelaP, Feb 12 2016, 07:28 PM.

The way I feel about Hope at the moment I would be happy to have her off screen for six months (maybe in a mental hospital). I hope Marlena and/or Kayla help poor Ciara throught this. |

I'm not expecting much this last week of sweeps. I feel like we're close to the end of Higley but it won't turn on a dime. This Ava stuff sounds awful. February sweeps has been a total loss. I'm hoping Josh picks things up in March.
