Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted June 11, 2007 Members Share Posted June 11, 2007 I liked the way the DAYS/Y&R thread was done, so I decided to do one here.Welcome to the OLTL Thread for the week of June 11th-15th.This week, Todd returns. On Monday ( today's show), Cole questions Miles about his motives regarding Todd and Marty's past. Here is a photo and video from 2004 when Marty came back to Llanview to testify on Todd's behalf at his trial for Blair's rape.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTwmKHtv16o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted June 11, 2007 Members Share Posted June 11, 2007 Love the new banner Jay! LOL. I turned on OLTL today for the first time in weeks. Watched the first 10 minutes. I was surprised but delighted to have seen Nora, Renee and Dorian all in the episode. And Clint for that matter if we are talking vets. Hillary B. Smith looks fabtastic with that longer hair! She is as beautiful as ever. Cole is so hot. *end shallow moment* Faux Marty continues to annoy the hell out of me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted June 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 11, 2007 Thanks Adam. I loved OLTL today. I realized that John is SO much better without Natalie and it was noticable in his scenes with Dorian. Marty still sucks and I hope to god that the rumors of Susan Haskell coming back are true. She and Thorsten just brought a house in NY so I am hopeful. I almost turned off the TV when I saw Spencer, because of the way Dena made him take over the show, but she's not here anymore , so I watched Spencer with a smile. Nora, great as always and it was good to see Nigel. How many want to bet that Asa dies because his cover is blown over paying David? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted June 11, 2007 Members Share Posted June 11, 2007 I don't know why are you so much against Christina Chambers. I loved her in "Sunset Beach," and I love her in OLTL. But I haven't seen the original actress that played Marty, so I can't compare them. But I think Chambers is doing a good job here. However, her character is getting dumber by the minute.

Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted June 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 11, 2007 If you are talking to me, I believe that this is the first time I have ever commented on the character of Marty. I am not against her, I just do not believe that CC is the Marty -type of actress. Every time Christina Chambers utters the word rape, it's like she's talking about any old kind of normal thing. When Susan played it out, it was very serious. Watch tomorrow and see what I mean. Of course, I should be blaming the writers for the lines, but Christina just isn't delivering. And this is actually One Life To Live, not Sunset Beach, in case you haven't noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted June 11, 2007 Members Share Posted June 11, 2007 No, I wasn't commenting on your post, but thanks for the thought. Like I said, I haven't seen Susan playing the role, but Chambers seems OK. And yes, I know this isn't SUNSET BEACH. The stories on SUNSET BEACH were much more interesting than some of the stories Dena did lately. I hope Ron will do this better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted June 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 11, 2007 Click on the link to my video if you never saw Susan. That is her picture and her court scene are under it. . Christina will be in a court scene in the coming months. I'll be contrasting, although I already know how I will feel afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted June 11, 2007 Members Share Posted June 11, 2007 I must admit, she is much more believable. Was Haskell asked to return as Marty and she refused, or did they just choose Chambers? By the way, I love the signature... but there are two more ladies I'd add to that----Dena Higley & Lynn Marie Latham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted June 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 11, 2007 Susan was going to have a baby, and she was close to due date. Yes she was asked, but she could not. The sig is great isn't it? I just cant find pics of LML or Dena holding their heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted June 11, 2007 Members Share Posted June 11, 2007 As much as I'd love to chat about how these writers (I'm mostly mad at LML) are ruining my favorite soaps, we should get back to the theme of the topic... Was Dena still the HW when they wrote/shot the 10,000 episode, or was Ron on duty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted June 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 11, 2007 According to sources, Ron is completely responsible for this. Some fans were upset and trashing him because of it. Ron only came up with this after Phil Carey left and he is not responsible for Phil Carey leaving. Ron's work should be debuting in the next month to 2 which, if it is 1 works out fine, because this storyline is set to debut in August. Ron who is close with Valentini, pitched the idea of bringing back, James, Tonja, and Dan. One can only hope that Ron set this up to bring them back full term. Ron is also a friend of James Depaiva, which leads me to believe it even more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted June 11, 2007 Members Share Posted June 11, 2007 It would be great to see them come back full-time. I thought they'd come back only for the special 10,000 one. If Ron could bring someone back, I'd like to see Kelly back too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted June 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 11, 2007 Well of course, Ron can only present a story setting it up for a return. He'd have to run it by and get it approved by Valentini first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted June 11, 2007 Members Share Posted June 11, 2007 I've heard Ron and Frank are getting along great... I don't know what was Frank's opinion on Dena though.... but I know what was my opinion on Dena... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted June 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 11, 2007 I can say this with almost 100 percent assurance. Frank did not like Dena, but he could not correct her because Frons doesn't like his EP's to intervine if the ratings are good. Apparently ratings were good in Frons' eyes. Robin Strasser said on her hotline that comes Septemeber we are going to finally see a tight EP-HW realationship which is how it should be, so this is definetly a good thing.
