I've just gotten back into OLTL again starting last week. I've stopped watching this for months...so I pretty much missed most of Todd's kidnapping and the OPP storyline. What is that made the OPP SL so terrible. I"ve heard so many people diss it. And how did Evangeline end up in the coma??

Well, Cristian started to paint again... and invited Evangeline to see his painting at the studio. When they got there, the painting and studio were destroyed. They suspected OPP was involved, and called Talia to investigate. So, she and Nora were to the studio to look for clues. In the mean time, OPP gased the place with carbon dioxide. Evangeline happen to be near it, and passed out... then Talia, Nora, and Cristian did too. Bo rescued them, and got them all out... but everyone work up, except for Evangeline (who inhaled the most and was out for the longest). She was rushed to the hospital, where it was discovered that she slipped into a coma... and was quickly ushered off tv.

Yes...and Lindsay dropped by to see Cristian's new artwork right before all this happened, and was hit on the head and knocked out before she could enter his apartment. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Good summary, BTW. :)

I don't know that it was terrible. Rex and Adrianna annoy me. I didn't watch it because I just didn't like the story. It started out one of the Higley slooooowww stories peppered with a lot of offensive jokes and comments. Then it took on the personaity of one of Malone's mysteries that you could tell were being rewritten by the moment. I stopped watching because I just didn't like it. It's hard to place a finger on exactly why. It's just a storyline I didn't like very much.

The OPP story is typical Dena nonsense, where she pulls the implausible, off-the-cuff twists in order to be 'edgy and unpredictable'. I'm not exactly a racist group expert, but it doesn't seem Dena is one either. For an identifiable national racist group around for over 15 years, this group was remarkably ill organized or cohesive. Why would they start in Llanview by framing an unemployed hispanic artist-cum-boxer? Or torching then barely respectable mobster Vincent's buildings? Tate's earlier rather obvious pursuit of Adriana and agreement to model for Layla/Adriana's company makes little sense as well. It really looks like a retrofit story, like so many have been - and in many ways a summer retread of last year's summer Adrianna is stalked storyline.

I'm trying to remember. I think Vincent was a bad guy at the time. Now he is a good guy I think. He owned some property that got torched. Cris was suspected of doing it. Vincent's lawyer held a new conference accusing Bo and Asstonio of protecting Cris because he was Antonio's brother. Then some of Antonio's property burnt down. I think it was property he got from his drug-dealing daddy. When that happened they decided it wasn't Cris.

I believe Evangeline was involved in all this because she and Cris was romantically involved at the time so she also was accused of covering up for Cris. She was Nora's assistant.

I was so happy to see Viki forgive David, and I loved that David didn't want to lose their friendship or how Viki had become to look at him, a decent man. Those were some great scenes, but all the scenes with Viki and David are always great. Hopefully to see David return one day to Llanview.

re: the scene with Cole and Matthew. You know you have a problem when you're being out-acted by a 10 year old.

The OPP storyline went off the rails so fast I don't even know what happened.

Is Ron Carlivati here yet?

Well, if this is Ron's stuff, then they need to hire some new directors, script writers, and actors to fix things up a little bit more. It's not that the stories themselves are horrible, it's the presentation. It's trash.

      I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.

      Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis.

      Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By JAS0N47 · Posted

        1. 11/1/83 cast/set list:  

      Please register in order to view this content

          The "11/2/83" video you posted of Ruth Buzzi's scenes includes Roman and Hope in them, meaning the video you posted is actually 11/1/83, since Roman and Hope aren't in 11/2/83.   2. The video you posted of "11/2/83" has scenes with Roman and Hope. As you can see from my cast/set list, Roman and Hope are not in the 11/2/83 episode (see above note):   4573...11/2/83: Cast: Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Neil, Don, Marie, Alex, Liz, Andre as Tony, Gwen, Chris, Eugene, Sandy, Letitia, Charlene, Mrs. Whiting, Wanda/Guard, Dave, Delia, Saleslady # 1, Saleslady # 2, Figure in Dark, Raven/animal, Cats/animals, Birds/animals.   2.  11/3/83 :My video collection starts with 11/4/83. so I don't have the 11/1/83 or 11/3/83 video, but in addition to the cast/set list for 11/3/83, here is also the parking clearance call sheet for that day, showing Ruth was not only in the cast/set list but did work that day:     They even had hired the animal trainer and all the animals for the day, so It's sort of a certainty that her scenes were not cut that day, or it would have been a big waste of the budget. 3. As for 11/7/83, I just fast-forwarded through that whole episode myself. Letitia is in it from start to finish. It's her big final episode where she is killed. She starts the episode saying "Eugene, are you there?" In the next act, Marlena shows up and meets Letitia's lion. Later in the episode, Letitia is killed by "Eugene" (the Salem Slasher in a Eugene mask).   So, as we can see from your own post, the 11/2/83 date you have listed on that video is incorrect, since Hope and Roman are in that video but not in the 11/2/83 episode.It seems the dates you have on all your early November 1983 episodes are incorrect.   When you post videos and suggest that my data is incorrect, do you not first compare who is in the scenes and see if that matches who is in the episode? You didn't do that with the "11/2/83" episode, which based on Roman and Hope being in it means that is actually 11/1/83. Best to do something like that first before suggesting my data and research is incorrect.

      Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By kalbir · Posted

      Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.
