Since Crystal Hunt's debut as Stacy on One Life to Live her character has been scheming, plotting and manipulating her way through Llanview. The problem is that instead of being a character fans love to hate, Stacy is quickly becoming a character that fans just plain hate. As Tina pointed out on today's Performer of the Week episode "it might not be so bad if she were just in Gigi (Farah Fath) and Rex's (John-Paul Lavoisier) storyline, but she seems to be in every storyline."
On today's episode Stacy told Gigi that the only way she'd help save the life of her nephew Shane was if Gigi gave up Rex. Who in the world does that? Yes it is classic soap storytelling, but how does one even defend a character like that? Maybe if this were Adrianna Bitchy Bangs (Melissa Fumero) we'd understand such motivation, but to base Stacy's behavior on an off screen run-in with Rex in high school is preposterous. The motivation for this character is about as sane as Allison Perkins and not even a fraction as entertaining.
What do you think of Stacy?

The character is absolutely ridiculous, and I can just see Brian Frons’ grubby hands all over this. She’s a copy of Sami from DOOL, only without a clear and reasonable motivation. That scene today with her ripping into Gigi over the high school BS was beyond stupid, and it makes the character come across as truly criminally insane. The real shame is that Stacy is distracting from the wonderful performances of the other actors in what could be a touching storyline. Finally, the most glaring issue to me is why doesn’t Gigi just play along with her, but secretly tell Rex what is going on. The bone marrow would have to be donated soon and then they could be done with the witch! Of course, this is a soap, so this will likely drag on forever. Please Ron C, I beg you, just get rid of Stacy!

Oh yeah, I was a big Crystal Hunt fan on Guiding Light, but the character of Stacy is dreadful. Even I can't defend the drivel coming out of Stacy's mouth about Rex and I've defending Y&R's Gloria on almost everything.

Stacy is the worst new character EVER.
She started lying after she said HELLO to Gigi & Rex. She looks at Gigi with hate in her eyes. I cannot believe a chance conversation with a boy from high school would make her hate her sister. Now she is using Shane in her screwy plan. Hopefully she will die on the table after Shane gets well. 
Wanna bet the parents are still alive?

Poor Crystal Hunt I love her so much and shes so good at being Bitchy Why did she have to mess up Gigi and Rex? Why couldnt they bring her in as the wild morasco ruining gigi's social life like she messing with everyone like rex, viki, rex mom who's name escapes me. how about killing someone... anything but getting involved with Morasco why couldn't she be a drunk and have a match with Shane but her alcoholic ways interfere??? or did they do that story already?
Poor Crystal

That is the problem, she has no motivation for any of this. I can't root for a schemer if I don't get why she's doing anything. I traditionally love a great soap schemer - there's a reason I loved the Sami/Vivian/Kristen era on Days and I think Erica Kane is the bomb - but this girl just ends up coming off as an annoying bitch who needs to get off my tv! If the serial killer of the week doesn't get her, maybe Mitch can come back from the dead (or out of the hospital bed he's probably in right now) and take care of business.

May the letter killer find another victim soon!!! Stacy has to go. That's all what there is to say, besides that Crystal Hunt seems to be annoyed from her own acting.
The should kill Stacy off! Most likely sooner than later.

Oh, I totally agree. I have thought that the parents are really alive ever since she told Gigi that they were dead. I didn't buy that story for one second!

You pretty much nailed the main reasons she doesn't work for me... she's on too much, in too many storylines, is obsessed with Rex over some random run-in that doesn't make sense.
Two more reasons...
#1: Stacy is obvious in her underhandedness, which takes the fun out of watching her scheme & manipulate her way around town. Not to mention that it makes the fact that others haven't punched her in the face for being so transparently duplicitous ludicrous.
#2: Crystal Hunt is not trying to make the character more than one-note. There is no life to Stacy. She's very flat and completely unsympathetic and not fun in a "bitch on wheels" way. There is just nothing to go off of regarding the character to root for or to love or to love to hate, IMO.

The storyline of Stacy would be fine if they picked the right actress to play her! This actress is all wrong for the part! They should have looked harder for the right person.

Yep - Frons's slimy hands all over this. My sister and I lately have really taken to OLTL and I knew of CH from GL and would sometimes enjoy her as Lizzie. But this is just disgusting. Nothing redeeming about this character whatsoever.
Get her off!

i think the whole storytelling timeline has been screwed up by Frons nixing VIKI & CHARLIE's story...
Ron C is *TOO SMART* to have all these "bad-things-happenning-to-kids" stories all at the same time...i am certain that they were meant to be paced out...til Frons said "i dont care WHAT you have to do, this show needs an anorexic bimbo NOW!!!"
if you had asked me a week ago, i wouldve just been "HATE", but i saw Crystal Hunt in some Amanda Bynes movie & she was actually sweet & endearing...so i *do* believe that this actress *could* bring it...its just an issue of *WHY ISNT SHE?*

i haven't found myself with such a visceral hatred of a character on a soap in a very long time. i would personally like to bash stacy in the head with a ball peen hammer. can. not. stand. her.
(no offense to crystal hunt, who can act, but this character can rot in hell)

I just don't get the fuss!
I see where ppl are annoyed that she is in everything, but I think she is the example of the bitch w/o remorse about what she's doing, but hey that's just me.

Seems to me that Stacey is clearly another of Fronsie's creations.... one more blonde bimbo ho. The fact she was just inserted onto the canvas tells me it's probably not Ron's story but has been dictated by the misogynist idiot running ABC daytime.
Hey Frons...how about just letting the creative people write and you just butt out?
And yeah Gigi, hello...why not go along with whatever the skank wants and then get Rex to play along.After the bone marrow has been harvested,kick her to the curb. Stacy has some serious mental problems if she thinks Rex is interested in anything other than his son's welfare and his love for Gigi at this point.
I really hate it when the characters are SO BLATANTLY STUPID!! I don't enjoy watching characters make such obviously idiotic choices.

Shes pretty and a good actress BUT the character is AWFUL! She has absolutely no heart!
Dont want her to die. But see if she can be redeemed in some way. By some miracle. But right now she can get the heck off my screen.

Desertrose, you hit the nail on the head! This storyline is so stupid because Gigi and Rex could so easily play along, as you say. It's embarrassing.
The Letter Killer must be illiterate, because it's clear that the deadliest Lletters in Llanview these days are F, R, O, N and S.

My all-time favorite character is TINA amd even I can not stand Stacey, i do mean in the Love to hate kind of way i feel about Dorian sometimes, the yes you are evil, but you make the show interesting way. I mean in the go away and leave the show lola kind of way.
It would be awesom if Gigi told rex what was going on and they scammed stacy, that would be logical , story telling, so it will not happen. on the other hand if they do go forward and ROXI does not tell rex and gigi the truth then she is as bad as stacy, and when the truth does come out rex, gigi and shane will never forgive Roxi and rightfully so

The only time I've seen Crystal Hunt come alive and connect with the material on OLTL was in her scenes at the end of last week with Ilene Kristen.

I cannot stand this girl. And seriously, Rex and Gigi were just starting to have a relationship and their family was starting to mesh. Why do they have to mess with them? All I have to say is this better all be worth it in the end. There better be some great cat fights and hot make-up sex!!!

I'm not familiar with the actress' previous work, but I'm not digging this character. I have a very good friend who loved this actress, but hates her on OLTL. He said she lost all her acting talent with her nose job, which is harsh to say. I was speachless. I think they need to tone her down, you can't root for her. She's freaking crazy, a two minute what ever with Rex still has her going how many years later. Reguardless of how she feels she should love her hephew and want the best for him. How many sisters, brothers hate each other on soaps but love the kids, that's how people would feel something besides hate for her. It's to late to fix her, maybe.
