Overall loved the 10,000th episode, but I had a question: What was the point of having Dorian "confess" to killing Victor? That just seemed to come out of nowhere. I remember years and years ago when Viki remembered smothering Victor with a pillow, that Dorian had always believed she was the one who killed Victor when she withheld his medication, but changed her tune once the autopsy report said Victor was smothered with a pillow. So why would Dorian now say she was the one who killed Victor. It just didn't seem to make much sense.

Loved the family scenes with Nat/Jess/Kevin/Joey, Bo/Clint, Bo/Matthew. Kudos to Ron Carlivati and Leslie Nipkow. It's too bad things didn't work out between the two because Friday's episode was really good.

I saved them to watch tonight, made a little party, ordered in some food.

That was just some of the most amazing OLTL in a LONG time. I actually enjoyed the whole week, but that was good...

I'm working on screencaps...I did 600 from the first day, so who knows how many I will go for Friday...

These two episodes just made me sad and not in a good way. Kevin, Joey, Max and Cord are what leading men should be about! Those are some sexy and charismatic guys! It makes me sad to think they're all gone and we have to go back to crappy John, Antonio and the lot.

If I were writing this show all four plus Tina and Cassie would be back. I hate these short term returns that remind me how bad we have it now.

Another thing, is it just me or is SOAPnet dogging OLTL out? This is a big anniversary for the show and we get NOTHING! No reunion special, no classic marathon and barely (if any) promo. GH has gotten an endless supply of marathons and we get From Jess to bloody Tess?! I wish we could've gotten something similar to the Erica Kane marathon. Episodes from each decade showing how different the show has been.

Oh and to stick the dagger in even more...SOAPnet's doing a Seth and Summer marathon for The O.C.

I so agree. Kevin, Joey, Max & Cord (and Alex) should all be brough back full-time. Get a great re-cast for Joey, since Nathan Fillion's joining DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES this fall (maybe bring back Don Jeffcoat, who've I read is interested). I agree with bringing back Tina and Cassie, I'd also bring back Rachel and maybe Evangeline.

I also agree that SOAPNET should be having a big reunion special plus a marathon.

PS: I do love that Dorian has been made to be the real murderer of Victor Lord. I didn't like the re-write of having one of Viki's alters being the real killer.

I'd fire some of the characters that have run their course or just aren't cutting it, such as Michael, Marcie, Antonio & Miles.

If they bring Joey back it has to be Nathan Fillion. I know he's on DH now but it's only recurring. OLTL and ABC need to do everything in their power to Fillion back as Joey. He's makes Joey likable. Hall and Jeffcoat both were horrible. I do agree that Max, Cord, Kevin, and Joey all need to be back. Get rid of John, Antonio, and Michael.

I don't think there is much chance of NF ever returning as Joey save an apperance like this week. NF has a very successful career outside OL.

Please just no to DJ as Joey. He was dreadful.

They are in a hard place with Joey and Kevin. Both should be in Llanview and Llanview is less without them. NF and DG appear to be the most popular actors for the role. They can always recast but that is tricky. Joey might be easier to recast since NF has clearly moved on. Kevin I think would be harder.

All of that plus the recast and new character influx to Llanview hasn't created an enviornment conducive to recasts or newbies.

I really wish we would have gotten a scene with ALL of Clint's kids. I wish Cord was included in the scene with Nat, Jess, Kevin and Joey. I wish the writers would have done had Nat had her first onscreen meeting with her big (and only biological) brother Cord

I agree. It would have been nice to see Cord with Nat and the rest of his brothers and sisters. There were a lot of things I wished we could have gotten but I enjoyed the little we did get.

Where do they go now? There was a positive response from what I can tell to the episodes and now we return to the before. Is ABCD invested in seeing these shows improve or are they satisfied with what they have now? Looking at the ratings all of ABCD's shows were at their record low in the 18-49 demos so how much room is left between where they are now and the point of no return?

    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jodie stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
    • Dr Linden. She treated Vanessa's drug addiction (although Vanessa seemed to forget that by Henry's suicide attempt) , and she's mentioned during Reva's PPD. Although I can't recall if she's actually shown right off the top of my head. She probably was temporarily shelved when Sonni was a therapist (between her crazy times) And I think Billy sees her after he falls off the wagon after Reva's death.
    • Kinda agree. I have some issues with the sets. Nicole's living room is bland-looks like a display home. Bill and Hayley's is too small and basically hideous. And neither of them have a front door/entrance or staircase. People just appear from the corridor. Those green accents  at Uptown are way too much. Also,Naomi and Vanessa not having an office or a home .
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That Grainger story always reads like hog-wild melodrama, not very similar to the more subtle stories for Rita in her last few years. I wonder how Lenore played the material.
    • More from 1976 Lynn, apparently making every effort to overcome her alcoholism, accepts a baby-sitting job. However, when the baby starts crying, Lynn begins to get nervous and takes one drink, then another. By the time Bruce and Van arrive home, Lynn is on the floor, ineffectually trying to find the doctor’s number, sure the baby is ill. When the mother arrives; she vows to let everyone know what goes on in the mayor’s house.Bruce insists that Lynn has to go, but Van, learning that Lynn can’t remember drinking the cooking sherry, calls Joe to report Lynn’s blackouts. Joe wants her institutionalized but gives in to Van’ s pleas that Lynn needs loving attention. Eddie has sent some of Felicia’s work to a New |York gallery owner and reports to Charles that Lisa Cooper wants to exhibit Felicia’s work. Charles refuses to tell her this and later admits he feels he has “cowed”her attention because of his being confined to a wheelchair. What Charles doesn’t say is: that he’s plagued with fears she’ll leave him for another man. Felicia is exuberant as she starts painting again. She tells Charles how she feels about it, but, jealous of anyone or anything that takes attention from him, Charles tries to undermine her confidence. Eddie finally professes his love for her. He will be happy to step forward if she will only let Be and admit that they belong together. Charles tries to stop Felicia’s ‘trip to New York by making her doubt her own work, and when that fails, he finds business reasons at his bookshop to keep Di, his ex-wife, who is running it for him, from accompanying her. Felicia finally decides it’s not going to work and tells Eddie they might as well call it off. Instead, he arranges for Lisa Cooper to come to Rosehill. Charles is rude and insulting to Lisa when she arrives at the house to view Felicia’s work, and his derogatory remarks about shady gallery dealings prompt Lisa to tell Eddie that living in such an atmosphere could permanently stunt an artist’s development; if Felicia is subjected to this indefinitely, it’s not even worth Lisa’s while to take her on as a client. Felicia finally decides she can’t be torn apart any longer and must accede to Charles’s demands. She tells Eddie her career is over and she won’t paint any more, breaks down in his arms, crying bitterly, then pulls away, unwilling to acknowledge that her feelings for him are deeper than she dare face. Charles is delighted when she prepares to dispose of her art supplies, insisting everything will be fine once she has accepted that this part of her life is over. But she cannot do it. She promises him that he can set the limits and terms, but she must paint. Arlene discovers that her mother is planning to avoid the surgery she needs, and the accompanying medical bills, by leaving Rosehill and moving in with her sister Dorothy out west. Arlene manages to prevent this by calling her aunt and telling her the truth about Carrie’s condition. Dr. Tom Crawford has been footing the costs of Carrie’s presurgery tests, but Arlene knows that Carrie won’t like this. So she tells Carrie that David Hart, the son of Meg’s late husband, the former mayor, has heard about their plight and forwarded the money as a gesture of friendship, to be repaid when possible. To convince Carrie that she does indeed have the money, Arlene asks Ray to just lend it to her for a few hours, so she can convince Carrie and then immediately return it. Ray instructs her to get dressed for a night on the town and takes her, out implying that the money will be waiting at the end of the evening. When Ian Russell happens to join them, Arlene doesn’t suspect anything is afoot, but when e Ray suddenly leaves, she becomes furious, realizing what he’s done. But she finds Mr: Russell a distinguished and cultured man, and decides there’s no harm in having a drink. After cocktails and stimulating conversation, Ian suggests that they go to his place, and Arlene agrees. But when they get there, Ian matter of factly suggests that they skip the preliminaries and get on with it. Ian is embarrassed and annoyed to discover that Arlene is not a professional call girl and that Ray didn’t explain to her the purpose of their |meeting. He is apologetic and solicitous, until Arlene, explaining why Ray felt he could pull this on her, mentions her sick mother in need of an operation. Ian starts to laugh at this overworked standard line, and a livid Arlene storms out of his apartment. Thinking it over, Ian decides he’s more intrigued with Arlene than he is annoyed at Ray, and calls Ray for her telephone number. But Arlene is not delighted to hear from him, and he has to use a good deal of soothing charm before she agrees to have dinner with him at one of the better local restaurants.During dinner Ian again apologizes for his mistake, and he gives Arlene a diamond pendant as a token of his gratitude for her forgiving him. Ray arrives to interrupt an otherwise enjoyable evening with a business matter, and quietly reminds Arlene that Ian is his customer and she’s not to cut herself in with him. At home, Arlene examines the pendant and is convinced that it’s genuine. She hides it in her dresser drawer, unable to bring herself to show it to her mother.
    • LOL!! That's funny.  I actually thought he got a little better.
