Oh.My.God. I was so HOPING to see Cristian and Blair make out, but never in my wildest dreams did I expect to see it today :)

HOT. HOT. HOT. HOT. HOT. HOT. HOT.

I love it!

So glad that Nelly Furtado sang "Say It Right," since it's the only song by her that I can stand.

You have to be kidding me?!?! I posted here during the show, and now it's GONE! LOL.

Basically, I was hyperventilating in my usual annoying style about Cristian and Blair. Do you know how hot I thought that was? I have wanted them to hook up for a while, mostly because I know KDP would light a fire under David and get him to step up. Then, when he finally did show some acting talent yesterday (honestly, I don't find him as bad as most do to begin with), I was thinking even more how much I wanted to see a little Blair-Cristian action, but I never thought we would get a kiss today! I loved it: hot, hot, hot, hot, hot!

I loved the way Blair handled things though, sort of flirting but preventing anything serious from happening. And I liked the nice things she said about Evangeline.

Loved Todd and Van today, but don't really want to see them as a couple. Or do I? I might like a Todd/Blair/Van/Cris quad, but only with Todd and Blair as the end result.

Loved Blair being snarky to Marty, just because I don't care for the latter.

So glad Nelly Furtado sang "Say It Right," because it's the only song by her that I can stand. Hate "Promiscuous Girl," which was performed near the end, but glad to see OL get such a hot name for the show.

Nash and Jessica were wonderful, although Jess needs to stop blaming Nash, LOL.

loving this show, and all I really missed today was Ms. Slezak.

I enjoyed this week! LOVED the Bo/Matthew scenes, Clint/Viki, Viki/Todd...Enjoyed seeing Asa busting in on Clint/Viki too!

Enjoyed the McBain brothers and Marcie was so funny today dragging Mikey out of the apt to go see Nelly!

Miles is interesting but I wonder if he's not as "naive" as he seems - even Todd referenced that he's probably hiding something.

Couldn't believe today when Marty asked Miles who he was related to - she has him as a patient and doesn't even know his last name?

This Jess/Nash business is going to get serious and Jess needs to make up her mind what she really wants and who she wants

Overall, I'm enjoying the show a lot more myself.

The best of the week for me was the Viki/Clint and then Asa joining them. I really want to see more of Viki and Clint alone with no one busting them up.

Matthew and Bo were heartbreaking too, but where the heck was Nora??

What is with all the sleeping around on this show, everyone seems to have lost any sense of dignity.

If Miles is just a good guy, then I say next, we don't need any more boring good guys, same with Tate.

Sue me, but I didn't think today's show with Nelly was all that great, in fact I found it all pretty boring. Cris and Blair are fine, but the rest was blah, give me some more Viki/Clint, Viki/Todd/Jess and Viki/Clint/Asa/Bo/Nora

Well, I have to say that I think OLTL has been smokin' lately....and not just because of all the fires in Llanview either. This show has really, really improved and I am excited by it. It is so great to see so many people talking about this show again. It's just great!

I hope it continues! :)

Ok well WTF was Nelly wearing come on now, I know she has a stylist that is better than that. One last thing were was Timberland. LOL I thought she did well.

As for the show I was not impressed with Blair and Cristian and I was expecting so much more but got notta. It was Flat to me. Here is my thing I tolerate Blair more when she is not around Todd. I am no fan of hers but I can stand her when not romantically with Todd.

My Tangeline what can I say Todd was so scared he lost his BF. I love that he wanted to be there for her cause she has always been there for him. He is so Todd. They were flirty and fun to watch and I am so positive someone is reading the board cause some things were address that people were saying on board well that is what I say.

I know some people are having problems with the "Mexicon" part of what Todd speech on several boards but strangely I had no problem with it cause I knew he was trying to get a rise out of Vangie.

Overall the show is getting better I just hope it continues. I like this new co-head writer. I kinda get a strange Jack Smith feel to the show but that is me.

I liked Nelly a lot. I do think it's time for Jess and Nash to move together. OLTL has done this in a very poor and distasteful manner. Antonio and Jessica are a boring couple and always have been. They never should have married. Having everyone sleeping around is a total lack of dignity. I thought the Triangle from Hell was unbearable. OLTL with the Antonio/Jess/Nash thing has created a worse storyline. Right now the character of Jessica is looking very bad and the longer they drag out this indecision, the worse it will be.

This shows a major problem with Higley and Frankie that they just can't get past. They can't make a decision and create a good couple and move forward with it. Frankie can't let go of Antonio and Jessica in spite of the fact they are very unpopular and now both characters are just a joke.

I think Blair is great, but the Cris things really didn't make much sense. I actually thought she and Miles had chemistry. You know, though, if both Blair and Jess are buying into Miles, I fear that he is a bad guy and a couple of my favorities characters once again are being painted as morons. Just for the record, this sobbing Todd turns my stomach.

This was the week that my distrust for OLTL resurfaced. I hope next week I feel better about this show. Much I saw this week told me I'm in for disappointment and once again, no payoff for my investment in stories and charracters.

    • 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).
    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
