OLTL Monday

Ok, I enjoyed OLTL Monday. I was waiting for Scotty to start the thread, but got impatient. :rolleyes:

Anyway, I am getting intrigued with who is setting up Cris. I like a good mystery. Kathy Brier is an excellent actress and so is Nathaniel Marston. I liked Al and Marcie more than Michaell and Marcie, but I must admit, I coming to enjoy them and hope they are getting a story of their own now, and not just playing sidekicks to John or Rex. I liked Marcie today. I didn't always care for her, but I really would like to see them start developing Michael and Marcie now and I'd like to see them get a story that is about them.

I really like Jess and Nash and hope we see Fun and Funny Tess. Nash was great today and he really is hot. I'm hopeful that this is a couple that will begin to develop now independent of the triangle. It's been two years. I think that is long enough.

You know, I like Thalia so far and I like her with Antonio. I really would like to see couples in stories other than triangles.

Anyway, IMO, it was a good day for OLTL

Well I'm glad you got impatient and started today's thread Jess..you see how long it has taken me to reply to it. :P

I agree, today's show was pretty good.

I am very excited about Marcie and Michael getting a story.

Natalie and Vincent were tolerable today. She is much better when she is away from John.

I liked the Spencer/Rex stuff. Man, Spencer is starting to completely flip his lid. And Rex just cracks me up. His facial and bodily reactions are priceless. JPL is great. And while I didn't care much for Spencer before, I am enjoying psycho Spencer.

Jessica and Nash were not bad. Nash seemed to have sooo much funny toying with Jess today. :D

Antonio and Evangeline were so-so. Although one or two of Van's facial expressions made me wonder if she might be setting up Cristian. I'm sure I'm reading way to much into that, but that's just a weird feeling I got for a second today.

I like Talia. She's pretty good, and they haven't shoved her down our throats yet.

Did anyone else think that when Evangeline comforted Cristian at the end of the show that it was like a mother hugging a child? I did. :lol:

This whole arson storyline is growing on me. I'm finding it somewhat interesting.

I like Vincent's lawyer Aaron Connelly....he's pretty cool.

I love the Marcie/Tommy stuff and watching Adriana sweat.

As for John and Michael...Michael was pretty good, and it's nice seeing John isolated from nearly everyone else by being stuck in his apartment. Could we keep him there please?

Overall, it was a pretty good show. OLTL has been on a roll lately...now if they can just keep it up.

I've been a critic of Vincent because I see him as RJ lite. However, today with Natalie, I liked him. I'm not a Natalie fan either, but they were good today.

I am so glad you mentioned Vincent's attorney. He's great. He's a real keeper. I once really liked Evangeline because she was an attorney with an edge. This guy is the best soap attorney going. He's the exception to my no more newbies position. Hire him, don't make him a romantic hero, make him a slimey attorney.

Paul Satterfield is doing wonderful work. I think JPL is so funny. I always thought he and Jennifer Rappaport were a classic soap couple and I still do. Adrianna makes Rex weak. I personally would like to see bad boy Rex back with women and continue to see the cool relationship between Bo and Rex.

I'm ready for Jess and Nash to be the fun couple again. I like Talia too and I like her with Antonio.

Anyway, OLTL is on the upswing. I'm starting to see stories that are not about triangles. They are about couples involved in other stories.

I'm late posting, but count me among those who loved Jessica and Nash (per usual).

Nat wasn't quite as annoying.

Kathy Brier IS a wonderful actress, and I loved the way Marcie was looking at Adriana when she was going on about Tommy not being a T. J.

Most of my faves weren't on, with those few exceptions, but I also am intrigued by the arson storyline (slap me now), because for once I don't have a clue what's happening and there is no screamingly obvious Higley answer. All I can think of is Cristian having memory problems. I just don't know!

Who would have thought we'd see the day when Jess would start the topic again?!?! The show is definitely on an upswing!

    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • 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!
