OLTL Discussion: Week of February 19th


Recommended Posts

  • Members

The show finally seems to be showing progress after being in a depressing hole for years and I'm wondering if I should be optimistic that Ron Carlivati has been promoted to Co- HW. Apart from being responsible for the Walker/Todd reveal, what other key storylines or at least outlines can be attributed to him?

I wasn't surprised at all by Miles being Mitch Laurence's brother... I remember after seeing that he was connected to someone in Llanview, that I assumed that he would be his brother.

I'm tired of Adriana's role in this Tommy storyline. If I didn't suspect that Michael would be the first one to crack (my speculation: after he's arrested and put on trial for Spencer's murder... he'll blurt it out in court), she would be my first guess. Her "us against everyone" and "we're in this together" speech sounds dumb coming from her, especially since she did little to nothing in it, but guilt Rex every step of the way into telling her what's going on.

I like the Miles connection to Mitch. I look forward to seeing how Jessica enteracts with him. I also want to see Viki, Clint, Todd and Blair's reaction. I really like Todd and Jessica together. They do seem to bring out the best in one another.

This week I'm very much looking forward to Jess and Nash and hoping for more Clint and Viki. I hope we don't go a full week without a return to Nora. Is there any chance the arsonist could be Daniel?? I don't know, however, why he would be going after Cristian and Antonio.

I think Rex is a turd for what he is doing to Todd. I would have liked it had it been Rex the bad boy, but right now it's Rex playing God and he doesn't have that right.

This show has undergone a DRAMATIC transformation, and I NEED to know what is behind it, LOL.

The first section before the theme music today did more for me than entire episodes have done at certain points!

For instance, this little discussion with Miles and Jessica about Clint being her "real father" is the stuff that should always be included in dialogue, but we wouldn't have seen it last year.

Kathy Brier is so good; it's easy to forget! She is making me feel so bad for her today as she asks Michael to tell her the truth about Spencer's murder. I can only imagine how good she will be when Marcie learns the truth about Tommy!

I am loving Evangeline and Todd. I could get behind a really well-written triangle with Blair, Todd, and Evangeline ... or even a quad, if Blair and Cristian hooked up: that would be hot. But in order for this to happen, they would have to go ahead and do Nash and Jessica, so that we have a couple of strong couples to make up for T&B being on hiatus.

We have also been seeing more of Roxie later, which is WONDERFUL!

However .... again, no Nora, LOL. This smacks of Higley and reminds me of the episode in which Margaret stabbed Todd with the scissors in Asa's guest house, and then we didn't see them again for two days, LOL.

Do you like Bree Williamson? I think she is so damned good, and I am SURE part of that comes from working with Erika.

Kathy Brier is killing it today, too. We really have the best actresses on this show, I think.

I agree that I like the Clint/Viki connection with Miles.

Did anyone catch Natalie casually metion today that Nora and Matthew were staying with her grandpa?

I knew they would be staying with Asa, but I was hoping they would show that happening instead of having Natalie tell us about it.

The previews for tomorrow look good....especially Clint telling Viki he wants her to spend the night. :)

Well I know I am happy I got my Tangeline kiss and boy it was all that I wanted. I have patiently been waiting for 4 years for this. I was smiling all over my job today.

I cant wait to see where this goes. TSJ and Renee brought it and sold it for me. Now the problem is I want more.

I too enjoyed their kiss today. These two were doing some serious close talking. :lol: No wonder they ended up in a kiss.

Scotty I'm sure we'll see Nora and Matthew at Asa's at some point.

I have to say I like Miles. So far they have done a decent job introducing him.

Scotty - may not get to see Asa inviting them to live there but I think Asa is the one who tells Viki and Clint.

Today's show was good - M&M scenes were excellent and the Miles/Jess convo was interesting. I'm liking this Miles guy (can't wait to see Viki's/Clint's reactions and Natalie's since he's her brother-in-law or former/ex brother-in-law).

That preview had my mouth literally dropping to the floor. I loved it!! Don't know if I liked Clint asking Viki to stay the night or Viki's expression better. LOL.

Really enjoyed the Jess and Miles scenes, even though I still believe that Miles isn't telling Jess the entire truth, he so has something up his sleeve.

I've been waiting for the Todd and Vangie stuff, but some how I was a tad disappointed. Oh well, maybe it'll get better.

Loved the Marcie and Michael stuff, and I loved that she kept on and on until Michael told her some of the truth. So Michael thinks he is protecting Rex, and Rex thinks he is protecting Michael and John thinks Michael killed Spencer. Oy vey.

I SO cannot wait for the Viki/Clint stuff tomorow.

    • I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.
    • Congratulations to Carlos Alcaraz on his second win at the French Open!

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
    • I just watched some parts of an episode of GL where Roger has just been shot by Holly. Rita then admits to Hillary that Roger raped her. Kasdorf is such a fantastic actress. I wish there were more of her work available. 
    • -- Alex Alegria has almost a full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a large tatt on one pec. I see no indication that the show is covering up his ink,
    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Oh, yeah, and she even tried to seduce Alan, but this was his post-prison era when he was trying to prove to everyone he had changed. It's funny that of all people he didn't go for it. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
