OLTL Discussion: Week of March 19th


Recommended Posts

I agree with both Cat and JJ. I think Todd and Evangeline are good. I must be painfully honest, however, I like the character of Todd a great deal and I like REG as an actress. I hate REG's fanbase. I just hate em. The Vanatics diss every character that isn't Vangie's current love or Vangie. I dread Todd getting pulled into that orbit.

The think that bothers me about Todd is that his character was defined by that rape, and it should stay a part of him.

On Jess and nash. I don't mind the affair so much now. The burning building was just dumb. I do think the triangle needs to end. The stuff at the winery was very good. I just hope we don't go back to the same ol same ol next week. I really feel no sympathy for Saint Antonio and the more they bust Jess to prop him, the more I dislike him. I can't dislike Jessica either. It's amazing that OLTL is so out of touch with the history of the show that they dumb down core characters to boost their boys. It's also amazing they don't recognize good couples when they have em.

Truth be told on Viki and Clint is I think Viki needs a new romance. Clint is making me angry though. He's another character not being written well though.

One final note: I really miss RJ and I hope rumors of his pending demise are not true.

OMG, really? I didn't realize Evangeline had obsessive fans! LOL, I just assumed that sort of devotion was saved for those who worship the Mighty McNostril.

:angry: Ditto! TDS could be, like, the Isaiah Washington of Daytime (um, apart from the alleged anger management issues) *if* TIIC actually had an inkling to write for him.

I absolutely loved Cristian standing up for Blair.

Todd and Evangeline sure do like throwing that word "Whore" around, don't they? It must make them feel good, considering that he is is a rapist/stalker/brute and she is a self-righteous hypocrite who can't try a case to save her life.

So glad to see Cris point out to Evangeline that she's playing games and also that she and Todd were the ones fooling around on the sly. Blair is a single woman, at least, unlike Van, who made out with Todd in an elevator while she was dating Cristian. People who live in glass houses ...

Natalie and John's little scenes are almost painful to watch. I hate how he let her go after screaming her name twice. That's one thing I hate about soaps: if you really wanted to catch the person, you could!

I am enjoying Viki and Nora today :)

I think RJ is already off the show... I know Stickney was taken off contract (or was he?). It's obvious that Vincent is the new RJ, he's the one getting blamed for everything and is the criminal/non-criminal, etc. Heck Natalie is his Nora, LOL! (Though they don't compare). I think Vincent is decent, sucks that RJ was sacrificed.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
    • Sally Spencer was a decent actress, but the writing destroyed the "M.J." that Kathleen Layman had built. Layman had a quiet strength about her, and she and Osburn really felt like sisters. Spencer's character should have been either an unmentioned sister, or maybe Jake's that grew up close to Kathleen, M.J. and the rest, but was away for a few years before joining the force. Kristen Marie was o.k., but I always got a mousier vibe from her. Being pigeon-holed with Scott for most of the run hurt things for her, as well.  The Loves were also underserved between Rhonda Lewin and Philece Sampler. Philece would have been better as Nicole. Thank goodness Anne Heche  showed up for the next round of auditions. Christopher Holder was mediocre as Peter, but given a shot, I think Marcus Smythe could have stuck around for a while.  I would have had Peggy Lazarus be a Frame -- possibly an ex-wife for Vince with an agenda. Smythe and Hollen had  a fun chemistry that could have kept the two around.. Bringing recasts for  Cheryl and Ben back mixing it up with other Frames. Corys, Lawrences at the time might have kept all the families stronger.
