Sounds pretty interesting. Could the arsonist be targeting minorities?.........

Wow, I would have to applaud TPTB if so... because I was not suspecting it, and I have been trying to figure out the connection between them all for awhile. It would definitely been a interesting twist. But then, that makes me suspect that they will pull the arsonist out of a hat; which I don't like watching soaps do... unless someone is undercover as far as their feeling about race.

I'm not necessarily into the teen scene, but I'm interested in this Markko since he seems to be there for Langston. If he's interesting, I can definitely get into him and her more than Starr and Cole.

It's interesting to watch the last couple days because we have been able to greatly narrow down the list of suspects. I realize the arsonist could be someone new, but if it is someone we already know in Llanview, then here are the ones we can eliminate....

Antonio, Cristian, Jessica, Nash, Todd, Evangeline, Marcie, Michael, Blair, Rex, Adriana, Miles, Tate, Starr, Cole, Roxy, Nora, Matthew, John, Natalie, Bo, Talia, Marty, and Layla whom we all saw the last couple days in other places, as we saw the arsonist about to strike.

Of course for obvious reasons we can also scratch out Jamie, Bree, Tommy and Asa.

Doesn't leave that many people.

Yea... I know, I just feel jipped out of character development when soaps decide to pull some character out of thin air to solve a mystery.

[Scotty]

Unless they bring back a character from the past with a grudge and make him/her the arsonist. That would be better than a totally new character.

Here is the casting breakdown for Markko....

Since they're looking for someone with a singing voice....please don't let them turn the Llanview teen scene into 'High School Musical'.

[poohbear19]

Goodness... no, my little cousins and sister love that movie. I have one word to describe it: annoying.

[okgal]

well that leaves Paige, Vince, Shawn and are you sure Layla was accounted for? I ask about Layla because when Nelly was performing, I didn't see Layla in Capricorn at all....

[daysfan]

Lord I hope that does NOT happen!

This is interesting......if he is here for Langston I cannot WAIT because I LOVE her!

Sounds really good I think that this has potentiall to go places

[Scotty]

It certainly does, and that is great! It's been quite awhile since OLTL has had 'who done it?' stories where we didn't figure out within a week of the event.

Keep it up OLTL!

I'm looking forward to this storyline. It's long overdue on all the soaps but kind of full-circle for OLTL. Race doesn't seem to exist on soaps, even when non-whites are there. To suggest that racism doesn't exist would be stupid but it's never addressed on soaps. I applaud OLTL for trying.

ABC used to do this kind of thing quite well, was known for it.

The interesting thing is that this is the second script they have released for "Markko". The first one was relased awhile ago. So they have beefed the role up. They did have a listing for "Marco". As well, but it is no longer there. Probably just changed the name and dropped the script or something like that.
