OLTL was on in the gym while I was doing cardio today. Let me get this correct --- the entire building is burning down, Nash & Jessica are trapped (knowning the building is burning), and they paused to get half naked and make out?! Suuuuuuuure. That's what I'd do under threat of burning to death.

Jess and Nash are my favorite couple. They have such great chemistry. Now let me add my voice to the chorus:

That was just pure stupid. Oh yeah, I'm terrified, we're trapped, we're dying, let's have sex.

Give me a break. That has to go down as an OLTL classic.

I liked Dorian and Lindsay and I hope Lindsay doesn't let Dorian get away with that. I also enjoyed Marcie and Michael. I think I like Antonio and Thalia. I think Cole and Starr are a sweet couple, but it is much too early for sex.

I enjoyed the Lindsay/Dorian scenes - and wasn't that classical Dorian to tell Paige about how Lindsay wanted to break Bo/Paige up so Lindsay could have Bo to herself?

Liked the M&M scenes today too

Cole/Starr - it was interesting but I really didn't think that their "moment" on the floor would have led to sex but I guess maybe that's what they thought (or at least Cole did).

Enjoyed the Bo/John scenes too

You would think Jess/Nash would be more concerned about survival instead of ripping each other's clothes off during a fire, but hey, different strokes for different folks!

Ok loved Dorian and Lindsey. They are such a riot. I just they give Lindsey more to do.

Jash UGH cant get into them and they are making me feel sorry for Antonio and I dont like that at all. Was they doing a chemistry test with Talia and Antonio interesting indeed.

Starr and Cole are ok. I can tolerate Cole when with Starr but something is missing with them.

Todd and Vangie always cute for me but once again I know when that hack DH is writing cause she always continues to drop the ball like no tomarrow. Where is my second kiss and semi nekkid Todd.

I have to say that was a stupid reason for Cristian to break up with Vangie. Fight for you woman if that is what she is too you.

OL continues to impress! Warning: Long Post!

Now, I realize that everyone has said this already, but WTF?! to Jessica and Nash. I was laughing so hard at the end, and I do NOT think that was the desired effect! They are my favorite couple on this show (or soon to be couple, LOL), and up to that point everything was super. Jessica finally admitted that she has feelings, and that every time they kiss it's not Nash's fault. Nash took off his shirt, which is always fine with me. And when they both said that they loved each other, I was so happy! But then to start having sex while the place is burning down ... just ... LOL.

The funny thing is that Jessica and Nash are allowing me to realize that I like Antonio and find him to be sexy. It's an example, frankly, how how TPTB can ruin a character by pimping a couple no one cares about. Anotonio and Jessica were never right for one another in my opinion, but now I am starting to feel bad for him, and I also thought HE looked hot in that tee shirt while talking to Talia, who by the way is an example of how you DO integrate a new character. I like her already, and that's because she was not thrust into the spotlight along the lines of Spencer, Paige, and Nash (I have to admit they put him on too much at first, even though I never minded and would sleep with Forbes March in a heartbeat). The one character under Higley's reign who didn't get shoved into our faces from the get-go was Hugh, and now he's gone! So better luck to Talia.

Marcie is so pretty, and I'm glad that they showed her without shirt sleeves for once.

Starr and Cole: I agree that they don't need to be going into a sex story with these two, and I sure don't want to see it, but I will say two things in their defense: 1) it DOES happen at this age in real life, and 2) Starr said no, which is wonderful! Kristen Alderson is doing a fine job as always.

I love Blair (she wasn't even on today, this is a just my usual pimping, since everybody on here except me, Jess, and HeatherHCB is annoyed with her!)

Todd and Evangeline proved interesting today, as did On Fire With Jealousy David Fumero. Can I mention how hot I find David Fumero? Also: Renee Elise Goldsberry is a good actress, and I don't see how people can hate her as they do on some boards. This triangle is riveting, although something tells me it's not going to be much of a triangle. Cristian seems "done" with her, and I don't know if they built Cris and Van up enough as a couple (they started dating when I was on my break last year) to make it worth devoting airtime to Cris fighting for her. I will say that these jealous rants over the past week have been the best work I've seen from David Fumero in ages!

Now if you have read this far, I have saved the best for last! Dorian, Lindsay, and Paige! OMG: this is so the sort of thing I want to see! I am so glad that Lindsay told Dorian that she and Viki bonded, and didn't it annoy everybody that Dorian was so callous about their dead daughters, when you know she is always worried sick about her girls?! That having been said, did anyone else notice how positively MISCHIEVOUS Robin Strasser looked today? Lol, she looked like she was having the best time, and I loved her smirks even though Dorian was annoying as hell. Dorian and Linds are the first people who have made me like Paige, and I never thought I would write those words, but I just did!

I liked the Michael and Marcie scenes today. and I can't wait to see what will happen tomorrow, Poor Marcie in those previews looks like a scared little kid.

I was so glad to see Michael and Marcie getting more to do on the show

I also liked the Starr and Cole scenes , they had more adult dialogue than Dorian and Lindsay,

I like that I have no idea who the arsonist is. It is refreshing not to know something immediately

I have really liked the who dunnit of Spencer,

Great post Shane!

You made sooo many good points.

I agree with what you said about Marcie. I think Kathy Brier is very beautiful and sexy. :)

And Starr and Cole are NOT that sex. I thought the sex talk was appropriate. I'm not exactly sure on Starr and Cole's ages....but Kristen is almost 16 and Brandon is a few years older. And, as Shane pointed out, teens are having sex earlier and earlier these days. So they are reaching the age when the hormones are starting to kick in. I'm glad they had this talk today. And their scenes were so cute.

The Lindsay/Dorian stuff was classic today. Robin Strasser is the queen of smirks. I agree, it looked like she was having fun. I have heard people talking about how Dorian has become this old shrew and everything, and leaves me thinking "Ummm...hello?!? Dorian's always been like that!" :P That's just who she is. But I love her little looks and snide remarks and comments. And kudos to Lindsay for not taking any crap from Dorian today. It's great to see Catherine Hickland more these days.

And BethAnn Bonner was smokin' today! She looked hot in that dress!

The Evangeline/Todd/Cristian stuff was ok......

The John/Bo scenes were tolerable...thanks to Bo.

Michael needs to take a chill pill and simmer down. He's making himself look more and more guilty all the time.

I don't mind Paige. I like her.

And the Jessica/Nash stuff just leaves me shaking my head. It's like "Oh no the building is on fire and we're locked in the store room. No one can hear our cries for help. Whatever shall we do? Oh, I know...I have an idea. Let's get naked and have sex before we are bar-b-que!" :blink:

Poor Antonio....normally I don't care much for him. But after what Jessica and Nash are doing, he is the good guy. I actually feel sorry for him in a sense. And that's saying a lot for me to type that! :lol:

And just how many times in the last two episodes has he ran around asking people if they've seen Jessica? I can recall at least about 3 or 4. :P

Wonder who the arsonist's next target is?

The ending of today's episode made me hope Nash and Jess or Tess or whoever she wants to be today die. Jessica panics, saying they're going to die...then takes off her shirt and has sex while the smoke comes in and after giving a speech about not wanting to hurt Antonio. UGH! Stupid people. Let them burn.

Cole and Starr are being portrayed very realistically - so they should be talking about sex. What high school couple doesn't talk about it? If they weren't discussing it, there would be a problem. Teens have sex and they always have and always will.

Todd and Blair are so f-ing annoying. They're so screwed up that they go around screwing up things for everyone else. Todd has wrecked Cristian and Evangeline's relationship, and Evangeline is to blame as well. She's such a moron. Cristian and Antonio need to go on a little killing spree: kill Evangeline, Nash and Jessica escape death and return to Llanview years later after Antonio's found a new wife (Talia maybe), Todd is shot and nearly dies for the twentieth time, so Blair decides she'll give their marriage a go again. Somehow make Dorian have to be in a wheelchair too so she's weaker - I get sick of her being on her high horse all the time. Lindsay is making mad for even talking to Dorian, she should know better. Paige...shouldn't she still be mourning Hugh...she can go crawl back under her rock.

Everyone annoyed me today except Antonio/Talia/Michael/Marcie/Starr/Cole/Bo.

I don't trust the show. I have to believe that what they are doing with Jessica and Nash is totally intentional and they are trying to make them as undesirable as possible so that once again Antonio and Jessica will be crammed down our throat. No one is so stupid that they can believe what is happening now on this show. Jessica and Nash are my favorite couple and they were the favorite couple of many many many soap fans. No way, Frons is going to let that happen.

    • Indeed. I may try to watch it in full sometime, but not anytime soon... Mark played Sean Baxter for a few episodes when Courtney married Andy. Burke was either on Broadway or at OLTL at that time, I suppose.
    • Well, Josh was a horndog. LOL Yep. It was one of the first really weird things Reva did with her PPD. She became obsessed with the idea that Dylan and Sam should get married. Sam was only 17, and needed her parent's permission. Reva helped them leave town so they could go to a neighboring state where Sam was old enough. Ross, Billy and Josh stopped them, then Sam went to India to try and persaude Justin. Reva followed her and didn't tell Josh she was going. While Reva was gone, Josh advertised for nannies, and Harley applied. He ended up hiring someone else. But when Reva returned, she hired Harley because (in her weird mental state) she wanted someone she could trust with the kids (because she feared Josh was trying to get rid of her and that Vanessa wanted the children.). After Reva starts treatment, she asks Harley to stay until she's stronger because she's good with the kids. At the party, Reva starts going off the rails, insulting Justin and Josh hauls her to a private dining room to ask WTF. Reva starts confronting him about the "affair" with Vanessa, and he realizes she is weird. He locks her in the dining room and frees Mindy and Van from the ladies room (where Reva has locked them in). Van starts telling him that Reva attacked her and needs help.  Reva escapes out the window of the dining room and goes back to the party, climbs onto a table and starts a striptease. Josh gets her to stop, takes her home and after filling Ed in, decides to go to the doctor the next day. Reva then takes off and spends days running around town, coming on to a guy she thinks is Billy, Billy, Hamp, Frank and Roger.  Roger takes her to his apartment and takes nude pictures of her, which he tries to blackmail Billy with. He wants the deed to the land the Towers is on in exchange for them. (Billy had been left the deed by a sweet old lady who lost her home in the 5th street fire. Roger had stolen the deed from her before she died. After Roger took those pics of Reva, she saw him hide them, and took an envelope from the hiding place. She didn't realize she'd taken the deed and not the pictures.)  Anyway, Billy and Vanessa trick Roger into burning the pictures, claim the deed and at the Towers opening reveal that Billy owns the land and therefore the Towers. That's what led to Roger and Alex's breakup and Roger and Mindy's affair. Mark Lewis was on ATWT? 1986 is not a good year, storywise. No bueno. Muy no bueno.
    • All the time they spent trying to make viewers feel sorry for Chad only for him to not even last that long. I wonder if they knew Richard Burgi was going so quickly. You're right about Josie replacing Cheryl. On paper, this should have made sense, given all the ties Josie had to the canvas, but I did prefer Cheryl. There was something very synthetic about Alexandra Wilson.  I suppose even if she did have some fans they were just so used to getting rid of people left and right, so she was more collateral damage. As you said above I do wonder what the plans were for Peggy Lazarus. I think AWHP mentioned her once telling Peter that Peggy Lazarus wasn't her real name. Maybe she would have been another Carl moll... Rebecca Hollen never did get her due in her soap roles.
    • So true...Hackney might have had a story on FC with Richard being an old lover of his, but reveals herself to be a Cartel member and blackmails Richard with something into doing her dirty work  LOL. But of course Richard had his hands full with the double trouble sisters Ms. Jones and Ms. Braxton that season.

    • Cat herself will be a stumbling block all her own as she vowed to Chad to stay away from him, thus redeeming her of her crime morally. Classic DAYS would have them gazing longingly at each other at Doug's Place or Blondie's, while Liz is serenading the room with a song aptly chosen to represent their feelings of emotional turmoil.
    • From what I just recently watched, they were setting her up to go into future stories. She was Emmy nomination worthy in the material I saw. If some viewers did not like her, the character could have been rehabilitated after that sick storyline. It feels like they destroyed a character for fun and then tossed her to the curb. Spencer had chemistry with everyone. I'm just retroactively angry on Spencer's behalf.  You're right about how Cheryl was often forgotten and pushed aside and I would take Cheryl over Josie. I think soaps need characters like Cheryl. Characters like Josie are way too common. Josie always got on my nerves.
    • CBS was back in third place in 1994/95. That was the season CBS lost NFL broadcasting rights which also cost them several established affiliates in major media markets. 1995 CBS was sold to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. 1995/96 CBS was trying to be young and cool to compete with NBC and Fox, but it was an epic failure and CBS was once again in third place.
    • I tend to think that Chad will actually listen to Jen (this time). And that will be the next stumbling block in their relationship, which will open the possibilities for Cat to seek another member of their love triangle... To iterate my earlier thought, I am also not a fan of the person Melissa Reeves, but the character of Jennifer looks so chic this week, especially in comparison to Hope (and Gabi).  That blunt haircut is a winner.   
    • I think Cheryl was essentially replaced by Josie, and it seems likely that Lemay wanted to bring the Frames back into the picture and for a variety of reasons that it would be McKinnons who would make way for them. Cheryl didn't really get many layers -- she was pretty and kind and sweet and faded into the background so that Scott could participate in the AIDS storyline with Dawn. Looking at the AWHP, other than (not very) shockingly being in love with her mother's adopted son Scott, Cheryl apparently went out with Sam and flirted with much-too-old-for-her John Hudson and MJ's ex-boyfriend/pimp Chad. I know MJ told Mary that she had been a prostitute, but did she tell Cheryl and did she tell anyone about Chad's pimping?   
    • I feel the same way about Melissa Reeves' Jennifer. She just makes the show feel like home by her presence alone. I am perfectly okay with them coming in every once and awhile, which probably fits Reeves' schedule better anyway. Their connections to Salem are still there: JJ, the grandkids, Jack still owning half of The Spectator ... they're perfect recurring characters. All this talk of Jennifer being in the wrong regarding Cat is absurd. Jennifer is not being villainized in any way, shape, or form, she's just being allowed to actually be human, which adds odds to the obstacle of Chad and Cat eventually getting together. All inner conflict. Keep it coming!
