OLTL Discussion: Week of January 29th


Recommended Posts

Thursday's episode was really good. I love Todd too, I like his snide little comments and his facial expressions. I also love how he is so blunt. He makes no bones about being thrilled over Spencer's death. I love it. :lol:

Why didn't Evangeline and John work out? They are so much better than John and Nat. For some reason that combination is like fingernails on a chalk board for me.

I love Addie. She seemed pretty taken with Antonio. I hope she will be on more from now on.

You got it, boy! I have not been so excited about a single episode in months. Surely won't be as much fun as if Haskell was in the role, but I am looking to see if KDP can get Chambers fired up.

Anytime Blair rips into Marty has always been a real treat for me, even when Marty is in the right!

I am HOPING this gets some serious air time on Monday, since SOD mentioned it as the VCR alert ... but with my luck, it will be on for two damned minutes and then there will be a few scenes of John trying to go to the bathroom on his own.

Well the exact quote from my previews says: "The gloves come off when Blair ruthlessly unleashes her pent up rage at Marty. Blair accuses Marty of being responsible for every thing that is wrong in her life including losing the baby and ruining her chance to get back together with Todd."

Then there is some stuff that day and others next week where they separately warn their kids to stay away from the other.

EXCELLENT! What would really make me happy would be if Blair would slap that self-righteous, egotistical, meddling, somewhat ignorant, and always smug [!@#$%^&*] across the face.

Please God, let Christine Chambers step up to the plate, so that Kassie is not totally out-acting her. I want a FIGHT, not a series of scenes in which KDP has to bolster her partner. Oh that's right, she's used to doing that all the time anyway!

I really didn't care for to much of the show yesterday, though I did love seeing Addie again. And I got tickled at how Blair was with Dorian, always love it when someone gives it back to that woman. LOL.

Thought the Rex and Michael scenes were good, even though I don't think either one of them had anything to do with Spencer's murder.

Always good to see Nora.

I'm really liking this Talia chick.

They seem to be mentioning Marcie being a mystery writer quite a bit lately... makes me wonder if she will be the first to figure out who killed Spencer. She's already suspicious of Michael, and if she talks to Rex and Adriana more... then she might put all the clues together.

Marty just said "incidentses" instead of "incidents."

Don't they catch these things, or maybe it's supposed to be "realistic." LOL.

I feel like they are trying to shove Cole and Starr down my throat like they shoved Rex and Adriana last summer; the only difference being that it's the girl who can act this time.

John: WHO THE [!@#$%^&*] CARES IF THE CASE IS "CLOSE TO YOU." This is ridiculous, and if Bo lets him have the case, Bo should be fired. There is no way he should have the case. He should shut his mouth: he got what he wanted, Spencer is dead. This is so stupid.

I think it's more that they don't have the money to do a retake everytime someone flubs a line. It happens kind of a lot and I think it does add a little reality to the scene. People do tend to mess up their words when they are really emotional, so it doesn't bother me.

I'm looking forward to Monday. I want to see what Nash imagines Tess saying to him. I suspect she is going to say go for it. I look forward to the Marty and Blair scenes. I like Talia. She's a pretty good newbie in my book.

I really wish they would give me two days a week without John McBain and Natalie Buchanan. I want away from them as a couple or individuals. They annoy me so bad.

Anyway, I'm cheery again. Friday was a decent show and I'm looking forward to Monday.

Words cannot express how much I love [!@#$%^&*] Blair! She can be so tactless and out-of-line, and I love every minute of it. When she stormed into the park and was like "Marty. What the hell are you doing with my kid?" And the look on Marty's face: you're in for it, girl!

What is with Clint and Nash? Clint tells Nash to not go there, yet Clint is going there himself with two women. clint says he cares about both women in his life in different ways, Nash compares Jessica to Viki, which Clint gets, but Clint is leading both Dorian and Viki on? Isn't that really wrong on so many levels, he is turning into a hypocrite and a player, and it is a big turnoff in regards to Clint. He is so into Viki, why even question where he stands with Dorian when he repeatedly says he can't stand that the woman lies all the time?

I look forward to Blair ripping Marty a new one, they need to recast Marty, she is just awful.

I really look forward to Viki and Clint's date, their scenes this week were the highlight of the show this week, but Clint needs to get his act together, choose his woman and move on because he is going to hurt everyone just like he warned Nash about,hypocrite Clint is very unappealing.

Please just kill John already, he is just the worst character on this show ever.

I hope Blair goes tough again.

I can't wait to see what Tess says to Nash. Clint was annoying me today too, not because he was wrong, but because he's interfering

with a couple I want very badly. :lol: I agree he needs to stop leading Dorian on though. It seems pretty clear to me Viki is the one he is really into.

I just cannot believe Bo is going to let John anywhere near this investigation. It's insane. Antonio and Vangie can't be on the arson case, but John can be on this one?? He's a freaking suspect and so is his brother.

I can't get into Starr and Cole. The actor is just beyond weak.

I'm going to give the unpopular opinion for the day: I like Starr and Cole. I like forbidden love stories involving kids l.

Now the young man isn't the best actor on the show, but he isn't the worst either. Since I've started watching the show again, I've started liking them. They do need to keep Cole in scenes where he is just doing more simple things. His emotional scenes are awful and he doesn't do anger well. They can get a new Cole or only give this one easy things, but I do like the story.

I also don't have the dislike for Marty that others do. I keep going back to when Bree and Trevor St. John came on the show. They both caught hell for two years, and you still get the die hard poster who says, I miss Erin, Roger is coming back, get ready. Maybe Susan Haskell will come back and maybe she won't. But this actress isn't a bad actress, she is doing a good job and some of the bashing is a bit unreasonable in my opinion. It reminds me of everytime GH gets a new Carly.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • 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.
