OLTL Discussion: Week of March 26th

Die Tate Die. What a jackass. Kick his butt, Rex! Andriana should do the same. He's slimy and pointless.

Marty/Evangeline = FF.

Jess/Nash = FF.

Cole/Starr = isn't this that Travis guy all over again, except Cole is a better character than Travis?

Nora needs to calm down. Incredibly rude of her to attack hardworking Talia like that. I'm glad Bo put her in her place. Bo/Matthew and Bo/Rex were good, as well as Rex/Roxy.

JMO but if anyone needs to DIE DIE DIE, it's John Mcbain. He is a millstone around the neck of this show. Every other story, sub-story, whatever, no matter how lame, is better than anything involving him.

The most ill-conceived, badly written, and badly acted lead character in daytime right now. OLTL could be a powerhouse show without him.

Depends on the viewpoint. I felt that Travis was a far better match personality-wise for Starr. Starr falling for a high school athlete just doesn't seem right to me, especially not a very bright one. The actor that played Travis seemed far stronger (Paolo?) : he left for a role in the movie Troy.

Cole does have more Llanview connections: they are building a set of high school characters, where Travis was only a short-term role.

I prefer Tate, John, Adrianna, Miles, Marty, Cole and the teens all be gone, now, today and be done with it.

The big trouble with the teen scene is none of them are related to any of the core families. Why isn't Langston or Brittany related to the Lords, Bukes or Cramers? How about a long lost child for Kevin, and bring him back.

This post says it all. These people are all strangers. Marty is the newest newbie airhog. What is the deal with Frank, Dena and their newbies? There is no getting around it that it has been one set of newbies after another since Frank took over. He always brings them in about six at a time.

Actually I wasn't crying about anything, and I'll come back anytime I want. LOL. I will also continue to complain about Marty. As far as McBoring. Yes he is an airhog, yes he is boring, yes he should be dumped. And Marty is also an airhog, who can't act, in a boring story.

So Jess did write Nash's name down on that piece of paper. I figured, but I was still glad to see it.

I like NuMarty ok. I also like Miles, but the way they show him having meltdowns makes me thing they are going to go the predictable route and make him Llandviews next nutcase. <_<

I hate to fastforward, but Cole and Starr are forcing my hand. I hate them together.

Ugh I can't stand Adrianna and the fact they went out of their way to hire Tate just to cause problems for her and Rex is insane. I used to think Duke was dull but as soon as he broke up with Adrianna he was fine and I used to like Rex and now he's dull and it's because of her. Why she's still around is beyond me.

The only newbie I've liked is Miles. I wouldn't mind him and Marty as a couple. She has more chemistry with him than she does John.

What was the purpose of the show today? I think a rerun of the OJ trial would have been more intresting. LOL.

i do like Kassie dePavia's voice, but I laugh because this show just bursts into song for no reason. It's OLTL's cliche ending. And, who was that man today? Oh yes, the new sissy Podd.

    • In case it is of interest to anyone here, I have digital copies (computer files, mp4 etc.) of all of the episodes. And, besides having the files they are all up on my usual video hosting site, acct name: shallotpeel, channel it is in: Primetime Soaps and file names like  Flamingo Road S1E15 Hurricane Flamingo Road was a primetime soap on NBC by Lorimar Productions. 2 seasons. 1980-1982. Morgan Fairchild, Barbara Rush. Developed by Rita Lakin.   
    • Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.

    • I decided this primetime soap deserved it's own thread as the Primetime soaps thread is very cluttered and why shouldn't NBC's Lorimar soap mot have a chance to shine? In doing a deeper dive into the second season ratings I was surprised to see that FR actually had an uptick in the ratings when NBC moved it to 9pm Tuesdays beginning March 82. I'd always assumed this move was a desperate one as NBC were running short of programming and had given up on the show,deciding to let the final episodes play out and be hammered by 3's Company  and CBS Movie. But the numbers paint a different story. In it's 10pm slot up against Hart to Hart, which regularly finished in the Top 20, FL premiered in 53rd place and placed in the 40's and 50's as the season continued. But come January 82 the numbers surged a little now moving into the 40's hitting #43 in Feb. Hart to Hart was #11 Then in March Bret Maverick was moved to 8pm with FR @9. First week 16th March FR #47 15.1/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Not great but #2 in it's timeslot March 23 FR #44 15.6/25 3's Company #4 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #33 So even with a stronger movie on CBS FR's numbers went up. March 30 FR #31 16.6/26 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #56 Best rating/position yet Tues April 6 pre empted Tues April 14 FR #36 16.0/26 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #11 CBS Movie #59 Maintaining previous week's numbers Tues April 21 FR #33 15.6/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Numbers down a little (reflecting general spring downturn) but best ranking of the season so far Tues April 28 FR #35 15.1/23 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #6 CBS Movie #42 Tues May 4 FR #27 15.2/24 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #4 CBS Movie #41 Season finale and highest position of the season. Looking at those numbers I wonder why NBC cancelled the show? They had very few hits and here was a show that was holding it's own and moving up in the rankings in a tougher timeslot. And being a serial, the storylines could continue to build the following season. And I'm sure the desirable W18-49 demo was good. Some might argue that CBS were shower weaker movies, but even so, soap viewers are pretty loyal. I guess Grant Tinker arrived at NBC and wanted a classier look but there was room for FR on the schedule. I mean, the following season Knight Rider,Powers of Matthew Star and the A Team arrived so there was still room for more populist fare. Flamingo could have stayed at 9pm-the replacement Gavilan bombed (surely FR would have done better} or moved back to 10pm. The following Jan NBC had a hit with A Team Tues 8pm. Had Flamingo followed it, it might have really taken off. As it was they tried Bare Essence, which flopped. Oh well,it was not to be...    
    • Always, in every way, Cass/Wally/Felicia foundational to my viewing. And, I think if we look at the aftermath of the disastrous 90 minute show that we find too many pockets of some kind of lost time at the show plus way too much of change-ups in exec & writing leadership and of course we also reach the first time it becomes notable that NBC wants to get rid of the show so they can put a new soap they own in the timeslot.
    • If the MAGAts were easy prey enough to get manipulated into voting for the tangerine-tinted terror, they'll fall for anything.

    • And this came out as the "feud" and the media pushing the protests in Los Angeles got all the media attention. They know the press and the public will not care or can be manipulated into approving.
