OLTL: How does Natalie have any friends?
martha...@comcast.net
what the storyline, she is always in the face of some other character,
even her family. It is always presented as she is "loyal to a fault"
and those on the receiving end always take 30 whole seconds to give
her a pass for her bad behavior, but I cannot imagine anyone irl
putting up with her mouth for more than two encounters (family
included). Most recent case in point: showing up at John's house
early in the a.m. just to slap him in the face and tell at him for
doing his job (or "killing my husband" in Natalie's view), only to
have John agree with her and end up comforting her for her loss.
Yuck.
What a blowhard.

Natalie has always been like this...one of the main reasons I can't
stand the character.
She is always screaming and acting like a crazy person to everyone yet
it's always excused
as "she's passionate" or "she's fiery!" with a smile. She's rude,
overbearing and self absorbed.
I hated the way she barged into Rex's house and basically DEMANDED he
drop his life and help her
find her husband. She did not care at all that Rex had his own life
and that his marriage was falling apart.
No it's ALWAYS about Natalie. feh.
Also this anger at John was such a retread of the same thing that
happened when she was married to Christian and they though HE died.
She blamed John and hated him (until of course she fell for him).

As near as I can tell, Martha, she has no friends. The only people she
ever talks to are family or quasi-family: Jessica (and Brody, by
default), Viki and Clint or her uncle Bo (but not Matthew), Rex, and
Roxie. John is the only non-family member who can stand her.
She has no girlfriend at all. The way she attacked Gigi when she
thought Gigi had cheated on Rex, and then the way she demanded that
Rex drop everything for her, including his all-important counseling
session with Gigi, not even her quasi-sister-in-law can stand her
either.
Occasionally, she'll greet a police officer as if they were friends
when she worked there, lo those many years ago. But that's about it.
She's unbearable.

As annoying as that (and she) can be at times.. i miss the days of
when Jen was on the show.
If Natalie walked into any place that Jen was- she'd just walk right
up and smack her a goood one and then catfight ensues.
I'm not a huge Natalie fan. She has her moments. But i do love a good
catfight on the soaps. Nat & Jen were always a good guarantee for
those.
