I'm a liberal down to my core, however, I don't think the F-bomb is a great word. You know, there should be some respect for civility. There are bad words and there are inappropriate words. The F-word is inappropriate. Chewing with your mouth open is bad manners, picking your nose in public is bad manners and some use of the language is bad manners.

I admit that it bothers me that there is no difference between words that should be used in private convesations and even then sparingly and words that it's OK to use in public and not sparingly. So I guess the next question is what is OK and what isn't and who decides. In this case, I think it's norm and I think that maybe we've been far too lax in the norm as of late. OK off my soapbox. Honestly, the only reason I weighed in is because of some idea that because I am politically liberal, I excuse bad manners. I feel like it's like a small majority of conservatives who believe I will go to hell because I don't vote Republican. LOL.

On to Trevor's remarks. I think TPTB are brilliant for not liking Todd and Evangeline. I think they are a bomb not da bomb. I must agree strongly with the previous post, however. I think Blair is great and really she is so much better than Not Todd. I also think that TSJ did call em idiots. I guess TPTB aren't totally caving into his contract demands as of yet.

It really is the character who is the star and not necessarily the actors who play him, IMO>

LOL, Jess, talk about different strokes for different folks. I really enjoy watching Todd & Evangeline AND I like TSJ's portrayal of SortaNuTodd! :lol: Even if it's not how Roger Howarth would have played it. RH was very much opposed to Todd becoming in a viable romantic lead. TPTB and TSJ don't seem to have a problem with that.

On the other hand, Todd is treating Blair badly -- and, in fact, has done all these years -- and she really does deserve better. I'd like to see her stop begging and start rejecting him.

My ideal would be to have both TSJ and RH on OLTL, but that's just me.

As for what TSJ may (or may not) have said. Well, if he did say that, he's absolutely right. TIIC are idiots. IMO it sounds like he's covering his a$$ in the midst of contract negotiations.

I agree.

Todd will never be a viable romantic lead. The character has raped multiple women, and attempted to rape too many times for his rapist tendencies to be glossed over ala a Luke. The violent sociopath part of the character is also the defining part of the character. That IMO is what TSJ and Dena both don't get.

I agree.

I'll go one further, the show could stand just as much a break from Todd as it can from John.

I agree there Cat. :lol: It is different strokes for different folks. It's interesting that Todd, Podd or Not!Todd does seem to generate such polarizing opinions. RH didn't want to play the character as romantic lead and considering Todd's past, there is good reason, IMO.

I will be curious to see what happens.

    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.  
    •   Dani’s cute ass party planner. He gave me some tea but I was so drunk I don’t remember it.
    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
    • Omg not we both ran into people from the show this weekend!
    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside. 
    • Yup.  You can hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years.  So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.
