OLTL Discussion: Week of May 21st

I don't like that Hack has made Miles her new psycho. We go from one obsessed lover to the next. I really do wish Hack would stop writing all the same stories and plugging a different newbie into it each times she restarts. Let's see, we had the Vangie/John/Natalie triangle from hell; then we had the Nash/Jessica/Antonio triangle from hell; I assume there already is another triangle from hell in the works.

The we had the Mad Mags/Todd obsessed lover story; then we had the Spencer/Blair obsessed lover story; now we have the Miles/Marty obsessed lover story. Hrrrmph. I hate this and I besides, I liked Miles.

Now on to today's show. I really really like Nash and Jessica, but it is also time to let them have some time off. The cancer story could have potential if it actually was about the Buchanans. I really do like Nash and Jessica, I just don't think any couple should be on this much.

Why are they making Viki a busybody? Yeah right, her goal would be to get in the middle of Jessica's marriage. It would be really nice if Higley wrote stories for characters rather than using her storylines to punish actors who speak out against her. Viki has had more than one affair. It's not like she would condemn Jessica or Nash.

Antonio was a butthole. He never is responsible for anything. And I'm glad. He plays a great butthole. I do hope, however, they are about to address the entire Santi issue. Kamar can play layers and he can play a character fighting a dark side. That doesn't mean he has to be anger boy. I really would like just once for him to acknowledge that he is partially at blame for things that go wrong in his life.

Once this never ending triangle and cancer story ends, I hope Jessica and Nash become an outlaw couple. I don't want Jessica hating Viki though and I don't want Viki hating Jess.

Me too. It makes total sense that someone who had gone through what Marty had would take some self defense classes. I love that they didn't make her the helpless little victim.

Antonio really is acting like an ass. When he told Cris he wasn't his brother I wanted to smack him. This temp is going a great job, imo. I miss KDR, but they picked a good recast.

The temp Antonio is doing a great job but I sure would have loved to have had KDLR doing these scenes, it left me feeling like I didn't get a payoff where Antonio and Jessica are concerned. I guess we see TempAntonio board that plane with Jamie and then when Nash finds him it will be Kamar/Antonio.

Even though I do believe that Randolph Mantooth is doing a good job as Kirk, he's still a sleezeball just like his son and I do not want him in Viki's orbit, she already has to deal with a jerk in her life as it is. LOL.

I loved that they had follow-up where Viki's blood being taken is concerned, and I for one would love it if it came back that they found a match and Paige tells them it is Dorian. The looks that Viki and Dorian give to each other could be priceless, then the women would have to come clean. I think it would be an addition to this story.

Enough of Marty. Why do we need to see her EVERY day on the screen?

Don't know why but I cannot wait to see egg ALL over Adriana and Dorian's face where Tate is concerned. That man can't leave fast enough for me.

OK on Friday's show. I always love Bree and Erika in scenes together and today was no exception. I thought Forbes played his part well too. Viki acted as she should. Nash acted as he should. Jessica acted as she should. The dialouge though early on between Nash and Jessica was incredibly trite. However, I really overalled enjoyed the three of them today. No one gave up their ground and they should not have been expected to give it up.

Also, everything in the omlette discussion was so funny. You gotta have some humor in the dark show. And it is way too dark all the time now. Humor, hmmm, who do you think wrote it?

I hope at some point I see the one-on-one conversation between Viki and Jessica about all of this. No cancer, no Nash, No Antonio, just the two of them. it's time to wrap up the DID story and all the guilt and consequences, and to recognize there is a new Jessica. That is the conversation that Viki and Jess need to have. They need to forgive each other.

You know, I'm not buying Miles the obsessed lover. It isn't necessary and it's contrived. It's also the same thing we have seen twice previously.

I love Blair and Star together. The chemistry in the core families of this show is so good. The show really should be built on that chemistry.

I like Antonio and Talia. I expected a little bigger reveal about something with Talia. It was a nice story on her part, but it was overhyped in advance. I like them and hope to see them develop as a couple.

I think today was the first time that I've liked Jess/Nash in a very long time, and I know it was because of Viki. And I like you, loved that no one backed down, they each stood their ground. They were actually great scenes once I got over Nash being so rude, but that's me just protecting my girl, Viki. LOL.

It's nice to see the scenes when Blair actually acts like a mother, and I still can't seem to get behind this Starr mooning over Cole, because I truly think she can do so much better.

Don't know why but whenever I see Marty and Cole together, I just get this ewwww feeling where these two are concerned. I don't see them as mother/son.

Man I wish they wouldn't turn Miles into a stalker because I really like the character and the actor.

I know, I think that exact same thing about Marty and Cole!! I think ewwww nasty for some reason. He looks closer to Marty's age than Starr's. I think Starr could do better too and I remember that kid from two years ago who was so cute and such a good actor. He was the young guy she met in New York. They should have kept that kid.

After 9/11 she went and worked the tower. She worked hard and was very stressed. Two weeks later there was a call about a bank robbery. She was stressed, but didn't want anyone to think a cop of Middle Eastern descent couldn't handle it. When she and her partner arrived at the bank the bad guys came out and started spraying the scene with automatic weapons. Talia started zoning. Her mind returned to the towers and in her mind she saw people jumping off the tower and flames. She didn't know what was going on at the bank. Her partner stepped in front of her and took a bullet to the chest and died. She acknowledged she should not have been working.

It's not bad, it's just with the lead up, I expected a little more.

Yeah, I like her character too.
