OLTL's John-Paul Lavoisier Says Stacy Storyline "Hard to Play"
By Jamey Giddens on June 27, 2009
John-Paul Lavoisier (The Character Formerly Known as Rex Balsom) talked with Michael Fairman for Michael Fairman Soaps, revealing that the Morasco Fiasco storyline starring Crystal Hunt, as Stacy, has pretty much been just as hard for him and real life lady love Farrah Fath to play, as it has been for we the viewers to watch.
John-Paul Lavoisier (The Character Formerly Known as Rex Balsom) talked with Michael Fairman for Michael Fairman Soaps, revealing that the Morasco Fiasco storyline starring Crystal Hunt, as Stacy, has pretty much been just as hard for him and real life lady love Farrah Fath to play, as it has been for we the viewers to watch.
Michael Fairman: Has this storyline with Stacy been hard for you to play, JP?Johhn-Paul Lavoisier: It’s incredibly hard for me to play because it’s far-fetched. Rex sleeps with Stacy and it’s such a mistake, and it’s what’s written. It’s where Rex’s head is at the moment.
So, I have to commit to the material, but it is hard to play. I want Rex to see through what Stacy is doing, but right now the way it is being written,
he is not. Stacy is winning and Stacy is able to fake him out at least for a moment. It probably is going to ruin his life down the line, and even more so with the aftermath of the sex. I am doing my best.
Here's another telling quote about how Lavoisier and Fath are dealing with the story, via drinks and Poker:
MF: You and your on-screen love interest Farah Fath (Gigi) are a couple in real life. During the storyline, were there times when the two of you were at home together, when you were just like, “Now what can happen with this story?”
JPL: It’s gotten to the point where we look at each other and give, “I know, I know” looks, and we make a drink and play poker. (He laughs)
Well I hope Brian Frons is happy he now. He almost ruined one of his network's best pairings in years with the walking hot mess that is Stacy Morasco—although I did get a chuckle when Stacy told those little ballerinas-in-training their dreams wouldn't come true and they would end up as strippers last week— and he's driven these poor young stars to drinking and gambling! Help me Jesus!
Thank the Soap Gods we started to see characters who resembled our Rex and Gigi this past week, now that Stacy's lame, plot driven motivation for almost letting a child die was revealed. I was five seconds from Wishful Casting Fath back to a finally revitalized DAYS as my dear, darling Meems, with Lavoisier as Eric Brady!

Jamey, I agree w/ you on the Stacey front, when she told those little girls that they all were going to grow up to be strippers, I thought what she said was funny BUT it was her delivery that had me scratching my head. She is tweeting it in a MAJOR way. She could be like Melissa Claire Egan or Stacy Haduik, psycho but we still love them but its like she's asleep during her scenes.

This s/l isn't working and he is just speaking out about what the majority of the fans think about it. She is so far irredeemable the best way to save this s/l is to get rid of her. End the misery and have Stacy go back into time and never to be seen or heard from again, LOL.

When you have great actresses like Robin Strasser possibly being forced off this show, the fact that this Stacey character is on this show with even two minutes of airtime is absolutely ridiculous. Get rid of this waste of time and space. I do not care if the actress decides to show up or if they find a way to redeem this character. She has no purpose on this show. The storyline is horrible and sorry to say most of the performances have been, as well.

I feel like the only viewer who felt Rex and Gigi was forced after years of build up to Rex/Adriana. I dont like this Stacy sl because it requires that Rex who lets remember was raised by Roxy cant see through Stacy. But I dont like Gigi and I dont like the pairing.
I have watched OLTL long enough for RS and ES to be the only actors who were there when i first watched and this show hasnt had a truly successful integration of characters since Sam and Lindsey, and yes I am including Rex, Natalie, Roxy, Nash, Cole, John, Jared, and Charlie.

timepass...I totally agree with you...if we have to look at Stacy/CH...PLEASE guys....use another photo...or just a generic photo of someone with a bag over their head would work for me too.
I am so sick of looking at her (not to mention hearing that grating voice & delivery- which is why I always FF her scenes.)I hope the IIC end this soon...give me more Viki & Dorian family stories.

Poor Crystal Hunt. She came on OLTL as an actress with great buzz and now she's hated by so many fans. Thank the stars she's marrying a doctor, a surgeon no less. Nope. She won't have to be the next Kelli McCarty.

Josstheguy, LOL. Brian Frons ruined the character by having her shoved down our throats with a ridiculous plot and bad writing.

siomonstuart2003,
I understand that many fans can't stand the character and that people have been criticizing Hunt's performance, I just feel bad for Hunt.
It's tough being an actress. Hunt's lost a lot of good will. I'm not sure if her career can survive this. Maybe so. Maybe not. That's sad.
If you can't tell, I'm rather sympathetic to the underdog in most cases.

Good to hear it is as ridiculous and hard to watch/act through for this poor guy as it is the viewers!

=======================================
I didn't think it was very funny! I thought it was disgusting! I hate Stacy! I want her gone!!!! ARGH! I can't believe Rex and Stacy had sex! She is going to get pregnant isn't she!?!?! ARGH!
You and Farah Fath are a couple in real life.
Cool! 
========================================
THEY ARE?!!?! I had no idea! How long have they been together?

I thought her self-indulgent ranting to the kids was hysterical. It's the only time I could tolerate this ridiculous character! The absurdity of it made my jaw drop!

maxsmom, you're not the only who doesn't like Gigi/Rex pairing. I will admit that I liked Adriana but when she turned into bitchy bangs, I totally loved her. I thought it could change the stalemate of their relationship into something more but Gigi pops up. I loved Farah as Mimi on Days and I even like Gigi but Rex and her are just blah to me. Anyways, I can't stand Stacy and this stupid storyline. I wish it would end soon and she disappear from my screen. I don't know who I hate more, Stacy or Melanie from Days.

replace "hard to play" with "f*cking unbelieveable" and I think we know what he and we are thinking

Stacy needs to hook up with Todd. They would be hot together and she needs a sugar daddy. And Todd needs a bad girl. LOL.

Get her away from Rex and put her with Cole. That would be hot.

I think Gigi and Schuyler have real chemistry, but I'd rather see her back with Rex. That would leave Stacy for Schuyler, which makes sense; he was a teacher, so he's used to the squeak of chalk on a blackboard.

If I have to deal with Stacy, her and Todd would be great together.

As bad as this story is, is it more far-fetched than Rex going back in time as Bo to bed a prostitute lookalike for Gigi, who happens to be David's mother, meaning Rex fathered David?
I thought JPL and FF were bad in that story, and in the story where Brody shot Rex and Gigi told Shane Rex was his father. I actually don't know if I have seen good acting from them, or good chemistry, in any story they have had together.

Rex should hook up with either Kyle or Fish. That would be a great s/l for JPL.

I actually feel bad for Crystal Hunt too. I think she's doing the best she can given this horrible storyline. They need to let the actress play more comedic moments like this, since she seems to be so good at it and flesh out her character a bit more so we can understand why she is the way she is, instead of having the whole reason behind her behavour be "I want Rex."

I have always been a Rex/ Gigi fan but lately I am really loving Gigi and Schuylar. They could be HOT and Rex deserves it.

Amen, Carol2! I never realized how badly JPL overacts until that ridiculous time travel storyline. And I really want to like FF, but she and JPL have no chemistry on-screen.
