Welcome_to_Llanview.jpg


Welcome to the One Life to Live Discussion Thread for the week of August 6th, 2007. It looks to be another fun week on OLTL. Also continuing this week, OLTL will reference the number 10,000 in each episode. See if you can find it. 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 the discussion of the good, bad, and ugly that is Llanview, Pennsylvania & One Life to Live begin...

For the first time in a long time, I really enjoyed some Viki/Dorian scenes. I saw a glimpse of the "real" Dorian today and I hope it keeps up. I loved that David sent Viki a postcard as well as Dorian, and it made Viki laugh. This woman needs to be happy for a change.

I actually liked the Clint and Sarah stuff as well, having Nigel in there was so much fun to watch, and I hope to see more of him even after Asa's passes.

Rex, Adriana and John were quite funny, and then I enjoyed the Talia and John stuff back at the station.

Natalie and Renee together were a real treat and I loved that they both talked about their checkered past and giving others a second chance. Now to see how Natalie convinces her mother to let Miles stay at the Carriage House.

I am really enjoying NuSarah. Loved Nat and Renee as well as Viki and Dorian. I get the feeling that all hell is about to break loose story wise....and I mean that in a good way!

Does anyone else think that the constant mentions on Tina means anything? It seems that the Andrea Evans door has closed, but could we be getting a re-cast?

Not a bad start to the week. Maybe it's just that I've been in more of a soap opera mood lately but this is the fourth day I haven't fast forwarded anything. John still drives me crazy with his posing, and his stubborness (I still find him searching Rex's place kinda a leap). Still most of the scenes were well scripted and a lot of cute little moments--loved the classic Dorian zinger of her praising Clint for suggesting Sara do good honest work when she was just saying David didn't need that, etc.

I actually enjoyed today's episode even though not much of interest really happened--liked the Nora/Cole stuff and really liked the Natalie/Vicki stuff. While I think Natalie is being kinda, well, inane I loved her calling her mom on the hypcocricy around Todd (who has endangered Natalie's life at least 3 times) and Vicki admitting to it.

      Why didn't Steve respect Monica and Jeff's decision?  I get he's Jeff's father, and that's how it came out, but I don't like the ethics of the story. A stranger gets to make life or death decisions over a wife's demands?   I hope Monica secretly never forgave Steve's chauvinism.
    • Question: Jon-Michael Reed's review of 1977 is up in the retro soap section.  It includes a fleeting reference to comedic scenes between Jeanne Cooper and Julianna McCarthy regarding “Kay's would-be beau, Ralph the Plumber”.  Could someone please fill me in will more details? I forgot that Kay and Liz were friendly before Jill stole Kay's husband.  And the thought of Liz playing a comedic scene blows my mind, because I only recall her being dour both in demeanor and wardrobe.  
    • I said on Twitter on Friday when Leslie mentioned Chicago that perhaps she might be related to one of Anita's bandmates. Since we hardly know anything about Leslie's childhood background. In addition, Leslie said she grew up listening to The Articulettes….
    • There was a scene in the past week or two with Leslie looking at some papers and mementos, which included an invitation or souvenir from Alan's memorial service or funeral -- it was dated as November 2024. Me just guessing but it seems to me that Martin's nightmares about the accident are from something longer ago than November.
    • ah thanks! do you know who the third one was in the blonde? the fifth one i know ive seen before in the brown wig but i forgot, and then ive never seen the psychic one before lol
    • I felt for Ted early on but as the story unfolded it has changed my opinion on him. To know he was cheating while his wife was struggling to give him a baby is a lot to deal with. Plus, this happened ages ago and still he's paying Leslie off and threatening her to leave town.  What really caused me to lose him in this episode was how even though he was busted, he still refused to take responsibility and come clean and the way he talked to Martin and Eva was terrible. To tell Smitty he better get Martin away from him when that is his SON who he used to cover up his affair? That is true dog behavior. Ted seems upset he got caught but I'm not seeing the remorse I would need to want Nicole to forgive him. I'm curious how I'll feel after Ted gets to talk to Nicole but I need him to fix it with the rest of the family as well.
    • I'm sorry. I well remember Jake doing Doris but I have no independent memory of the story around it.  Krystle with a K Lake, sure, both Tony the Tuna stories & NOT.  And, Jake also impersonated a woman named Bunny Eberhardt but he didn't know she was a woman so there was no drag. This weekend I re-watched Kevin & Mac, GH, and my strong impression is exactly what it was when I watched it in real time: They did not let them look very pretty. Of course, I think the best ever drag on GH was Alexis posing as the Q butler.  In a different use of drag at AW one Halloween, Jensen Buchanan went as Charlie Chaplin & Judi Evans went as, I think, a male gypsy.

    • I'm not sure who wanted them to dump REUNION & instead do a "Dallas-like daytime show" but it seems that it def came from NBC to AW through Rauch, so, yes, it absolutely could have been his (cough-another-stupid?) decision!!!! I've just begun the new Lisanti book so maybe I will find out. (I waited for the kindle version to come out.) I would apologize for being so critical & so sarcastic, too, but, well, I'm not actually sorry!  Silverman was NOT a friend to AW.  And, I believe the critique is on point & deserved! I wanted to explain why I think the timing is off for the 90 minute show to be a reaction to the GH Luke & Laura story & its hype. Because, for sure, networks & production companies did react to it! The first 90 minute show was Monday, March 5, 1979.  And, there was some unknown amount of time ahead of that with people arguing about it & then, planning it.  The Luke & Laura wedding was mid-November 1981.  They were on the run from Frank Smith & stayed overnight in Wyndham's Dept. Store early August 1980. 
    • terrible at using forums and inserting photos, but jake in another world had a drag persona named doris, anyone know the episode or year? http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/ffad19.jpg
    • Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
