OLTL: Monday, January 8th

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!" :lol:

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

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.

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 :P

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
