Topic: Brody Lovett - color me intrigued!

Additional Comments: I like that fact that Brody isn't just some bogus made-up ex on Gigi's part and that -- at least on his part -- it was a real love relationship. Did Gigi know that Shane was the father when she and Brody planned to wed or did she only find out afterwards? Since Gigi and Rex are clearly meant to be, maybe Brody can stick around Llanview and get involved with Layla.

I also love Shane's attitude toward Adriana -- hilarious!

I thought it was implied when Gigi first showed up that she was running from an abusive relationship in her past.  I would assume Brody was that person since she was always reluctant to give his name to anyone who might be able to trace his family.

That could be another reason Brody's mother told him that she'd run off while he was in the army.

  As soon as we saw Brody, I thought oh God, here we go with another untalented hunk whose acting is going to be painful. But so far, he's not bad. And I loved it when he grabbed Adrianna and kissed her. I get this feeling there could be something between them once Rex and Gigi get together, which should have been yesterday by now.

  • Ditto. I thought the exact same thing when he planted one on Dorian Jr. I NEVER ever thought I'd like Rex, but since GiGi came along to pull off that ancient, corny, soap plot #1849287-aa
  • Ditto. I thought the exact same thing when he planted one on Dorian Jr. I NEVER ever thought I'd like Rex, but since GiGi came along to pull off that ancient, corny, soap plot #1849287-aa done to death scenario, I can say with a straight face that it IS the one story I tune in for. Taking it a step further, I also think it's a rare pairing I'm going to continue to be fond of even after they get together...................I forgot about the no quote marks as it's been a year or two since I've posted. eom/Mija
  • Mija -- this is my absolute favorite storyline too. just goes to show that decent writing and two charming peformers with amazing chemistry can breathe life into even the most well-worn plot. -- Rhonda eom

    Anyone else have the feeling that Brody will turn out to be Jared's not so dead little brother, Jimmy?

  • I hadn't thought of that, but there is a resemblance. And it would be a way to keep Brody around - if he doesn't turn out to be abusive, as per an above post. Wanda Wolek

    It was nice to find out that Gigi hasn't been completely lying to Shane all this time.  She really thinks Brody is dead.  Can't wait to see her face when she sees him.  I would be all for a triangle of Brody/Gigi/Rex.  I really like Gigi (FF's mugging seems to fit the character and doesn't bother me like it does some posters) and feel she's deserving of having two hunks fighting over her.

    As for Shane's attitude toward Adrianna?  Shane rocks!  Plus, it's as funny as h#ll.  As is the back and forth between Shane and Marcie.  Put her in enough scenes with Shane regarding Adrianna and I might see an ember of like kindle in my heart for Marcie.

  • Kids see right thru adults, I love it too. I can't believe they've finally made Adrianna interesting & she's leaving. It would have been so much better her having this same attitude as dear ole mom from day 1...G
  • Yes, it is indeed wonderful to see children disrespect there elders.

    I thought Brody bears a resemblance to Reese Witherspoon's ex--Ryan Phillipi--what do you think?

    Replies: (list all replies)

  • I definitely see the resemblence. -- Rhonda eom
  • You're right-at first glance I thought it was him!
  • Ryan Philippi played Billy Douglas a gay teen who was friends with Joey Buch back in early 90's.....G

    Yep, kids Shane's age have an uncanny knack for spotting anything fake in an adult. And Adrianna is SO patronizing/condescending toward him; I pity any poor offspring if SHE should ever procreate!

    I think that she was already pregnant with Shane when she met Brody. She probably told him that her boyfriend split(which Rex did)& Brody was going to raise Shane as his own.

    I think she also was in love with Brody because he was in love with her & willing to raise someone else's kid. She has said from the beginning that he was a hero. To her, he was her hero because she was young & pregnant & he kind of saved her. Maybe I'm reading to much into it but it just seems that Brody had real feelings for GiGi & GiGi with him, till she saw her 1st love(Rex) again. I think they're definitely setting up a triangle with those 3 when Adrianna splits town.

  • I agree with you except with the part that there will be a triangle. I don't think that Brody is long for the show, but I could be wrong. I thought I read that he was only temporary. I would like to see him stay awhile as well.///Valerie
  • I don't know if he's temporary or not but I liked him also...There's just so many new characters coming that I have to wonder how many more contract players are going to be leaving?...G
