I remember back in September when OLTL gave fans the finger on a number of issues, people on this board said they were done. I believe they meant it this time.

That's when I stopped watching. I read the spoilers and recaps here and there, but I REFUSED to watch. I replaced it with Days at 1:00. Maybe I'll start watching it on SOAPnet at night since it seems to be improving.

I'm looking forward to a sweeps month for the first time in a while. It looks like it may focus on some interesting stories.

I liked much of today's show. I was glad to see Bo being the cop at the scene.

Me too...OLTL seems to be on the upswing lately.

I remember hearing Kay Alden was going to AMC to consult and Jack Smith to GH. I wonder if JS is actually at OLTL. To me AMC and OLTL have been getting much better this last month, while GH hasn't gotten better at all. To be clear, I'm just speculating.

I thought today was pretty good. Interesting that John doesn't blame Marty for "helping" Spencer. I'm intrigued to see if something developes between them.

Did Spencer get shot today? It sort of looked that way to me.

Yes, Spencer got shot, however....

he shot himself in the chest in an attempt to buy him some more time in the hospital to keep from being sent to Wingdale. He knows the doctors at the hospital will save his life, so he shot himself.

Thanks for the scoop Scotty. Sounds like it's going to be a good week ahead.

LOL something has to explain why the show is doing a turn around. We are getting genuine character driven scenes instead of just plot devices (ie. Margaret raping Todd ::shudder:: )

Wow. I think just the opposite. I watched OLTL for the story of Margaret lol.

I enjoyed Margaret, but I didn't feel that I got a satisfactory payoff to the storyline. I would have liked for Blair to rip that [!@#$%^&*] a new one, and why they didn't get to have it out is beyond me. Basically, if you put Kassie Depaiva in a scene with anyone, she makes them look great, and Tari Signor was no slouch to begin with (ducking, because I know most people hate her and think she's a big ham).

I'll protect you from those Margaret haters lol. The scenes with Tari and Kassie in them were always my favorite. I wish we could've just seen a few episodes where they really had it out.

But here are just a few of my thoughts on Friday's episodes:

- I'm really not feeling Starr and Cole. I know many OLTL fans are all about their "young love" but Cole is so irritating. I can't stand watching him. I wish he and his mother would just leave.

- It was nice seeing Vikki trying to calm everyone down .

- LOVED the Todd/Spencer/Marty stuff. That ending was great.

- Also, when we saw the "mystery person" pouring oil out everywhere I noticed that the music playing was "Margaret music". LOL. It's the music they played almost everytime she was on druing her pregnancy.

Maybe Margaret is the arsonist.

Maybe Margaret is the arsonist.

*sigh* In a perfect world maybe. lol. But really, I don't remember them using that music for anyone but Margaret. I taped so many Margaret episodes and just to name a few times it was used:

- Margaret freaks Starr out at Craze (first time)

- Margaret holds Ginger at gunpoint

- Margaret sneaks into Craze (second time)

- Margaret goes to slit Starr's throat

- Margaret and Todd at the lake

- Spencer hints to Margaret that he's going to "kill her" while at the warehouse.

- One of her last episodes, in the truck, when Mad Mags comes back out in full force.

How dare the music people give that freaky music to someone else! lol

But, as I continue to think wishfully, was the warehouse burned the same warehouse that Margaret was kept in? If so, then that would definately be motive.

I don't think that it was. The warehouse where Margaret gave birth to Tommy and Todd held Spencer captive, was one that Spencer had rented back before Vincent ever came to town.

That being said, I'm sure it's somewhere in the neighborhood of those belonging to Vincent which burned down.

And damn, Margaret really wreaked a lot of havoc in and around Llanview. Alll those things you mentioned, plus when she killed Mrs. Bigelow, ran over Marcie with her car, locked Blair in a car, and raped Todd.

There wasn't anything Margaret didn't do!

Awww..memories!

Call me crazy, but I like a good physco...and Margaret is as good as they come.

In your list, you left out her killing Mrs. Bigelow...

Spencer's gonna go all crazy too...but I don't think he can even hold a candle to Margaret.

You're right about that! In my book, no one can add up to Tari Signor's crazy portrayal of Margaret. Both Spencer and PS are wanna-be soap villains. I wish that Margaret could be the one to kill Spencer. One can dream...

Thanks for reminding me about Mrs. Bigelow! I added that and the events that followed lol.

And yeah, I know what you mean about a good psycho. The psychos are actually one of the biggest reasons I love soaps. I love Helena (GH), Jan (DAYS), Janet (AMC), Sheila (YR/BB), and Beth (PSSNS), but my number one is Margaret (Jan is a definate #2).

You're welcome.

And I would love to see Margaret come back to life and kill Spencer.
