Guiding Light - MESSAGE BOARDS

Quote QueenReva: I know the poster wanted one word answers, but I think that is impossible in this case.

I have left and come back during really lame storylines (what the writer's have done to Reva in the past is deplorable, ie. Amish Reva, Dolly, and going through paintings) so maybe I've missed some of the evil doings of both characters.

The schemes I have seen make me want to say Olivia, only because I haven't seen her do anything for the benefit of someone else, only herself. Reva on the other hand seems to split her evil doings between selfish doings and trying to help family members (at least that is how she rationalizes it).

Both are probably equal in the amount of evil doings but it's the reason behind them that makes me lean towards Olivia as the more evil because I see her schemes being more selfish. Can anyone give me an example when Olivia did something immoral or illegal in order to help someone else, even if she was only rationalizing her motives in her own mind like Reva does? I am not trying to challenge anyone on this issue, I'm just sure that I may have missed something along the way that shows that Olivia has tried to help someone else.

When Olivia set it up so Ava was mugged she did it so Coop would step in and help Ava.

Quote cardinal:
Several more examples of Olivia's non-selfish schemes:

- Teaming up with Jeffrey to keep Alan-Michael from harassing Ava

- Telling Philip that Emma was dead to prevent then-psycho Lizzie from killing her

- Teaming up with Reva, in an effort to catch Alfred at his own game (hitting Reva at Reva's request , etc.)

- Helping Reva trap sociopath Edmund in a confession, while running from the San Cristobel police

- Helping fugitive Harley escape, by not telling anyone she saw her

The list could go on and on...

Quote Delonjo: Wonderful! Superb! Superlative! Magnificent! Stupendous! There aren't enough positive adjectives for this post. And most of all TRUE!

Thank you so much!

Quote Delonjo:

...and to provoke Jeffrey's sympathy so that he can get out of bed with REVA and rush to be with "family."

Quote merrymary:

Oh, pleeazzze, give it up already. Nothing you can say can make Olivia, be the good witch...Keep reaching in your bag of tricks though. The onlygood deed Olivia did ws give her blood to Dylan. I will give her that one....

Quote merrymary: The blood Olivia gave to Dylan was tainted with evilness, he will come back to town even more ruthless then when he left for rehab. I don't miss him! Let himstay in reba for another 6 months.....

Quote SndrElkins:

Maybe he has still got enough of his mom's blood and it will over power the bad evil blood from big O
