Welcome to the One Life to Live Discussion Thread for the week of March 26th, 2007. This week looks pretty action packed, so set back and enjoy the ride. OLTL has been rockin' lately, so I'm sure we'll all have a lot to talk about. Hope you enjoy your visit and are prepared to discuss the interworkings of Llanview, PA and OLTL. If so, then you're in the right place.



So, let's begin our discussion of the good, bad, and ugly that is Llanview, Pennsylvania & One Life to Live...

Ooooo that will be something to watch! I have alot of issues regarding OLTL but they seem to have been dedicating lots of airtime to the vets. Any word on when we will see the Nora/Bo/Lindsay story start up Scotty?

You're welcome. I too am glad to see Hillary sticking around. OLTL has been very lucky the last couple years in that they haven't lost the vets like their two sister soaps have. I am also enjoying their increased usage of vets. I hope they keep it up.

I loved it today when Viki said: I'll start some adventures of my own. I'm ready for Viki to have some adventures. I think Clint and Dorian is a dumb storyline, and, I don't understand why, but it seems OLTL always chooses the wrong couple first. At least thing time, I think Viki will come out OK. I don't want her going back to Clint now. Let that be done.

I love Nora and Viki being friends again.

Podd and Evangeline once again were unnecessarily holier than thou. Ol Vangie sure does call a lot of other people names. Right now I'm glad they are putting Podd and Evangeline together because I can fast forward right through them. See comment above about OLTL's propensity for bad couples.

I really liked Cris and Blair today. Of the four, those two were honest and not the least bit judgemental. They make good friends.

I'm lookng forward to Jess and Nash being a couple. I hope we aren't in for much longer of Jessica and Antonio. But then again, see above for comment about bad couples.

It was painful watching Natalie today. However, I really don't like McNostrils and it will be nice to be able to watch Natalie in the future without him. It would be nice if OLTL could figure a way to split up a couple without making the Buchanan woman an idiot.

The Buchanans are the core family of this show. Perhaps if Frankie would stop talking about growing up on the show and his love for the show and start demonstrating it through better writing for the Buchanans, I would be convinced.

The highlight of the show was Viki's one line. Oh please give her the story that she deserves. I'm loving Nora, Viki and Lindsey. I'm also really liking the return of Blair.

It wasn't as hard as I thought to watch the Clint/Dorian, because I loved Clint taking up for Viki when Dorian started spouting off about Viki. He made it clear to her that there was something more between Viki and him other than their children.

Dorian's fantasy was so damned cheesy, but so Dorian.

Vangie got some spunk today where Blair was concerned. Loved Blair and her snarky self.

At the end I felt so bad for Viki and Clint. She loves him. He loves her. She hurt him. He hurt her. Can't wait to see what happens next with these two.

Ok Vicki Clint aint worth it, move on cause there is something better for you around the corner. Dont waste your breath or time.

Natalie seriously honey wake up and smell the coffee.

My TREW is back, I dont care how she got there or who pushed her there thank you for coming back and calling a spade a spade.

Blair thanks for doing the ultimate move and freeing Todd for ever thinking he would want you back right now and move completely on.

I agree with Jess that Cristian and Blair were the truest characters today, and I thought his defense of her was sweet. Evangeline has been ticking me off to no end lately with her self-righteous crap, and today she took the predictable route of calling Blair a whore. Van and Todd must feel proud that they know such BIG words, LOL. Evangeline should really stop throwing the word whore around. It's lame for her to use the term, especially since she was making out with Todd while still involved with Cristian. Talk about a hypocrite, and her self-righteous smirk has been wearing on my last nerve. Thankfully, Renee Elise Goldsberry is a first-rate actress, so I am still able to feel a bit for the character.

Nora and Viki were very enjoyable, but NOTHING in today's episode topped the moment when Viki said that maybe she is ready to have her own adventure. Believe me, sweetie, WE are ready for that too. Go rope yourself a nice, handsome man!

Although I have zero interest in Dorian and Clint, I find myself intrigued by Robin Strasser's performance in this "storyline." She is really doing her best to convince the audience that Dorian cares for Clint, even though we all know her soulmate is David Vickers. So bravo to Robin, as usual.

Found myself moved by Christina Chambers today (I know, I know, somebody slap me) as Marty flashed back to the rape. Seemed kind of silly to have her suddenly traumatized after all the insulting whitewashing they have tried to hoist on us, but this is more realistic, and I found Christina to be quite moving today!

Any episode with Erika, Hilary, REG, Robin, and Kassie is fine with me. Good show.

Poor Viki. I can't wait for this new doctor to come to town. I had a feeling he was going to pick Dorian. I like Dorian, but Viki hasn't had any love since Ben..

Natalie and John! Geez..

Marty needs to tell Miles about the rape.

That's about it..

    •  Yeah, he is still dressed like Martin. He looks great, though.  Cute picture. Sober up, cause we need the tea.
    • Well, Claire did rig Rick's test results, but it was to flunk. They actually managed to get his correct results back after they were thrown into Cedar's furnace...I think? Everyone knew Claire changed them and Rick passed so that rewrite never made sense.   I agree. Pratt always seems "edgy" on screen (and her Locker Room interview prooved that it came from her personality.) I liked Claire causeing trouble and love Meta ringing her beads. Its just too bad that Abby left and they kinda just forgot Claire existed. 
    • Oh so they did sleep together. The retcon was just the medical boards? That makes sense. I think Susan Pratt, while a good actress, was just an unlikeable presence onscreen and soaps wrote to that most of the time. There was some potential for more with her when she returned in that stint, as Pratt was at least interesting to watch and caused some conflict for the stifled Bauers. Instead of pairing her with Alan and then disappearing I might have had her hook up with Danny. I think there was a lot of flirtation with Bolger's Philip, but they never crossed the line.
    • I haven't seen Melchior in the role, but it would be astounding if she's worse than Linn. Her rivalry with Stephanie was sidelined IMO because Linn was one of the few actors who didn't have chemistry with, nor raise her game, when paired with Susan Flannery. To be fair, she did show some signs of life in scenes opposite Darlene Connelly, but way too little too late. It feels like Bell finally woke up after the Thorne switchover and sidelined the Kristin character with Mick to 1 or 2 appearances a week. As a result, the show improved by leaps and bounds after she was inexplicably at the center of the show for most of 1989. Margo is so much more enjoyable when not tied to that albatross. Even Clarke is watchable with less Kristin interaction. She can't exit stage left soon enough. As for the new Thorne, I agree that Norcross feels like a Forrester a lot more than Thrachta, even if the latter is a better actor.
    • The cast said that scenes were filmed over a few weeks, with a preplanned hiatus in the middle, and it was all out of order.  I would *guess* that they used Chandler when they could get him? They also had to work around Leo Howard getting married around the time these episodes were filmed, but I guess they worked it out since Tate appeared.
    • Maybe there was a scheduling conflict or something. He still has the full time 9-5 in Atlanta, right? Julie was there. Idk if Maggie’s gonna be a part of it though 
    • At this point, the best nonpaywall coverage of Los Angeles (and anything political)  is in...the Tennessee Holler https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social And as always, emptywheel continues to be consistent https://bsky.app/profile/emptywheel.bsky.social
    • Today Monday was the start of people arriving at the funeral, but the service hasn't started yet.  I know this is the nonspoiler thread but I think it's okay to say (in nonspecific terms) that the funeral episodes span a few days.  I won't detail it more here. Just sayin' keep watching.
    • Why am I only now hearing about what happened in L.A., lol?
    • While I agree that Reeves is Jennifer, I honestly do prefer Cady McClain in the role, as I feel she had/has a wider range of acting capabilities than I feel Reeves has. It's the strength of an actor, ultimately, for me, regardless of how I feel about Reeves' political/social views (which I widely disagree with). Plus, not to mention, they costumed Reeves like an old-fashioned frumpy farm/Moron wife, while McClain had some fashion-forward moments.
