OLTL: Monday, January 8th

[2shane8]

Oh, I am liking this Lindsay/Nora/R.J. scene! I am pleased that they are reigniting the Nora/Linds feud in this way, even if it's going to eventually revolve around Bo (at least, that's what I'm speculating). Better to get things rolling while Paige and Bo are still together, than to just have some triangle spring up should Paige and Bo ever disintegrate. Lindsay is always so petulant, and Cat plays that so well! Loved R.J. standing up for Nora after Linds made the coma remark

Unlike some, I don't mind Cris/Evangeline. I didn't really watch during the summer when they became hot and heavy, but I think they are sexy together, and I like Van putting him in his place today when he made his sexist, archaic comment.

Nice that somebody remembered that Jessica and Marty were friends; frankly, I'm surprised.

I actually do not dislike Christine Chambers. I'd prefer Susan Haskell, simply because I always prefer the original actor, but this woman feels like Marty to me.

I have no use for John's scenes.

The show is not bad these days ... I mean, if I'm enjoying a day with no Viki, Dorian, Clint, Blair, Todd, or Rex, then that says something.

I enjoyed today's show. I tried to get into OLTL last spring and I couldn't do it. Then I tried again about 6 weeks ago and I've been enjoying it quite a bit.

I liked it when Evangeline made Cris back up when they were having their argument. I think they are a pretty cute couple.

The Marty/Jessica scenes where good. I liked getting a feel for what's in Jessica's head. I feel sorry for Antonio because he's trying to be nice to Nash and help him, but I think he's digging his own grave. Nash is trying to be a friend back, but you just know he's not going to be able to stay away from Jess.

I can't get into John either. I like him so much more with Marty than with Nat though. Those two together just grate on me for some reason.

I really liked the Nora/RJ/Lindsay stuff, but the scenes were too brief. The whole thing spanned only about two or three minutes.

As much as John and Natalie annoy me, I did enjoy tricking him into taking his medicine, and telling him if he didn't take his medicine that "it was his funeral; oh wait, we've already done that!"

I liked Evangeline talking to Cristian like she was his mother too.

I too am glad they remembered a little bit of OLTL's history in that Marty and Jessica were friends.

I also liked Vincent and Shaun banging on Cristian's door. I liked when he opened it and Vincent says "you burned down my warehouse, you SOB!"

Talia is ok....she does seem to have a little chemistry with Antonio.

Nash and Layla are cute together...too bad he's starting to fall for Jess.

Bo was ok today...he even got to babysit John for Natalie.

[Scotty]

Before I forget, thanks Shane for starting a thread for today's show...I was going to do when I got online, but was delayed by a city commission meeting.

I haven't seen today's ep yet but it sounds decent enough. I know this is crazy but I really, really want John and Marty to at the very least become friends. I am really not a John/Michael fan but I've noticed some sparks with Marty/Christina. I really like Natalie at times but she and John just don't have it these days.

And I really like Cris/Evangeline. I am not sure why some people hate them so much. I think David Fumero has really grown as an actor.

And yes I am a bit of a fan girl - sorry

[Scotty]

Marty and John might be interesting, but I'm not sure.

But I agree with you that Cristian and Evangeline are good together....in my opinion, they are a lot better than John and Natalie.

[DH23]

Yes Cristian/Van are better than Natalie and John. But I didn't like John with Van either actually.

[Scotty]

I agree....Van just didn't seem to fit very well with John.

[Jess]

I love Jess and Nash. I'm disappointed the marriage from hell ever took place and wish they would just move on with Jess and Nash and stop all these damn triangles. I really miss a lot of the Tess personality. She was so funny.

All-in-all I've enjoyed the show the last week or so. It was nice they remembered the Marty/Jess history. I hope it isn't a one note thing.

I loved seeing RJ/Nora and Lindsey. We really need more of that, and it was nice to see Bo in that orbit again.

Everytime I see Capricorn, however, I get a little angry. That is RJ's club and letting Antonio steal the club, get custody of Jamie under false pretenses and now being married to Jess, pisses me off. Antonio is NEVER held accountable for his lousy behavior. And, I really hate Java.

I can do without John. I really don't care who did what to Vincent or killed a character I don't know.

I'm liking NuClint and I like the chemistry between he and Viki. I don't want the triangle. There is no reason why Clint would hook up with Dorian, he should hate her. Viki also rode motorcycles, had fun and was alive with Ben. There is no reason now to paint her some kind of dried up old fuddy duddy who won't leave the house.

I don't mind Cris and Evangeline, but I really don't care about them either. I like them better than Evangeline and Todd.

TSJ is a great Todd and overall I like him. However, his most recent characterizations of whiney crying Todd is unpleasant. I would like to see the multi-dimensional bad boy/good boy seeking redemption. Also, let's see some Jess and Todd scenes and some Viki and Todd scenes.

Still, there are signs of a show I really like. I hope we see more of it. It's been bearable. That might only be because I am seeing more of characters and couples I like. Hopefully it will continue and expand.

[Scotty]

Jess, I agree with your comments on Clint and Viki.

Here's a little preview for the week of the 22nd...Dorian is going to involve Linsday into helping her get what she wants.

Viki is not a dried up old fuddy puddy...and she's certainly not predictable either.

[2shane8]

Sweet! I will love seeing Linds and Dorian together again, especially since Higley seemed to completely forget that they ever knew one another.

I am really liking the directions in which this show is moving.

[DH23]

I am surprised but I've see a bit of a turn around in the past few weeks for OLTL. Getting rid of Claudia and Spencer will be a good start to repairing the show. Although Spencer isn't so annoying now for some reason. Maybe because everyone knows he's a dirty dog now ...

[Scotty]

Oh, ITA....the remeberance of the Dorian/Lindsay friendship, reminds me of how in one of the episodes right before Christmas they remembered the Dorian/Carlotta friendship as well. This was when Carlotta came with Rex and Adriana to visit Dorian for Chrismtas.

And, this is all I'll say about it now, but Dorian tells Lindsay that if she will help her break up Viki and Clint, that Dorian will help her break up Bo and Paige. So it should be interesting.

This show seems to be moving in the right direction these days; I just hope it keeps it up.
