OLTL Discussion: Week of June 4th

[ZaraB]

I would love to read the instructions for this story to the breakdown/scriptwriters. It might well just read like that -- only insert 'another random body part for Friday'.

Is anyone else scared by the thought that OLTL could win the Best Show statue? I only hope the voters look at the current aitings as well as that one episode before casting ballots.

I think OLTL does stand a chance of winning for the Todd execution. They also submitted John's funeral. ZZZZZZZZZ. I think they could win because you know winning a daytime emmy isn't based on merit. If ABC votes ABC and CBS splits its votes, then OLTL will win.

The bad thing is it gives Frankie undeserved kudos.

OLTL has been great this week, but I hated Nash and Miles.

I dont know what it is, but i am loving this week also. And I dont know whats wrong with me, but I actually like the Miles/Marty stuff. Its kind of creepy. I think the actor who plays Miles is doing a pretty good job... at least among newcomer standards.

I still don't like the teens. I think they are the weakest part of the show.

Does anyone else think the makeup dept has been going a bit over the top lately??

[Jess]

I think the makeup was overdone to the point of being funny. With all those blood splatters on Nash and others, my goodness, some poor person must have exploded.

Miles is an idiot..she is not going to love you.

I've seen cheesy before on a soap, but that "music video" took the top prize.

[Angela]

Truly. I was somewhat horrified. I gasped. I mean...wow!

Thought the girl who plays the bad girl on that show is a really good singer (if that was really her voice). Her 5-10 seconds of singing was the only bright spot in that.

[Q Steph]

I'm embarrased for OLTL. That musical at the end was literally cringe worthy. Those poor actors.

[Jess]

It wasn't that bad IMO. That man who plays Cole cannot dance or sing. KA, Brittney, Langston and Markko were pretty good. Some of the extras were good, and Kathy Brier, the woman is excellent. As far as Broadway talent on the show, she is it.

What was cheesy and stupid IMO, is it just popped up there for no reason at all. I was watching along and thought, what is this??? You know though four days of it is a lot. I know there are a lot of RC fans out there, but this is what worries me. I'm not worried that he isn't a good writer, I'm worried that he is so tied to Frank and this is what Frank wants -- the daily OLTL song and dance hour.

Ron solely wont even show until a few months. Im tired of people saying he has been CO-HW for months. we have only been seeing his writing as Co-HW for about a month, maybe a little less. With that, we have seen some changes. We have heard mentions of history and better writing. Singing and dancing hour, I believe is not what Frank wants. I believe thats a Frons call. He pimps certain things on his soaps. He does this musical on OLTL, brings in Jon Groff, he uses Dancing with the Stars reject dancers on AMC, Broadway actors on AMC to kiss Bianca, The Tarzan actors on AMC, and you can't tell me that was Julie Caruthers. What the hell is Valentini going to do, say he hates it. Frons gives him an interview, and he praises the hell out of that stuff, why? because its his job. I am confident because that is all I can be. Ron watches the show, and he has for years, before he was even writing for it. He does have a passion for it, and I believe he will do well by the show.
