Welcome_to_Llanview.jpg


Welcome to the One Life to Live Discussion Thread for the week of September 3rd, 2007. It looks to be another fun week on OLTL. This week will feature Todd and his quest to regain his long-lost son, Marcie and Michael's last days of happiness, and a repeat of the Valentine's Day episode for Labor Day. 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...

I love Todd right now. He just has no sympathy at all. It's kind of fun to watch someone who isn't a bleeding heart. For my part, I do feel awful for Marcie. She has no idea what's about to hit her. I love that John actually stood up for his family above the law today.

Too bad John didn't follow through with his threat to kill Todd. It would have killed two birds with one stone: Todd shutting up about Tommy being his soon (I freaking get it!) and John finally having a flaw and being gone from the show.

Ooh, loved Lindsay and Dorian at the jail. I didn't realize until then, how much I missed their friendship.

Lol thats exactly what I was thinking too! Todd is heartless and it just wouldn't be Todd at all if he gave one whit about Marcie and Michael. However as a viewer I do feel for Marcie especially and if it wasn't for her I'd be rooting for Todd no matter what. However since it is Marcie I'm so torn right now about whats "right".

I mean yeah Todd is an okay father but we've gotta be realistic here...hes psycho...lol. I dunno if I would want a child to be raised with someone as unstable as Todd has proven himself to be in the past.

At the same time you can't deny biology and he is the boys dad no matter what Michael wants to believe....

I just hope that Marcie has one of those "miracle" pregnancies once this whole Tommy thing is over with. Poor girl needs something to make her happier after the devastation of her losing Tommy happens.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

I know people out there are going to make this all about Marcie, but it is time for someone to cut Todd some slack. In the last two years Todd has been abused by Margaret, Spencer, The Justice System, The Lanview PD, Death Row, Rex, Miles, Hunter, now Michael and John for things he did not do. I realize Todd has done some unethical things that we supporters gloss over, but enough is enough. When that judge dismissed charges against Miles and had the audacity to threaten contempt charges against Todd, it was ridiculous. Even Nora knows deep down Todd has been royally screwed and he doesn;t deserve that. The man is good father and his kids devotion to him speaks for itself. Michael should be brought up on charges and John pulling a gun on Todd after knowing Todd was innocent of killing Margaret and knowing everything he put Todd through in the name of the law when he believed him to be innocent, I can't take it anymore. Todd is not saint but he is the anti-hero who can wreak some havoc, and I think its time to bring back the vengeful Todd. His needs to make a hit list and do his thing. I for one am tired of them making him a doormat. I like TSJ and have become a fan but in truth RH never would put up with this kind of BS writing.

I was shocked today that I really liked the Capricorn scenes. It was nice to see more than 2 people in a conversation and it felt real.

I actually liked Sarah for the first time. And I like that they weren't all sweet with her and acted like they had personalities.

I finally realized what it is about Trevor that bugs me -- he doesn't look many people in the eye intensely. His intense scenes he usually stares off on the ground. But today his last scene with Blair was one of the first where he felt like Todd. He should practice that more often.

Can you hear the train wreck coming? Poor Marcie.

I miss Viki.

Doesn't anyoen on the show miss Vicki? very odd..

A bit of a history question, on the 10,00th show Dorian said that she really killed Victor. I missed some eps after--did we get anything more on that?

While the show isnt' brilliant it's starting to feel more of itself and so far this week too I haven't felt the need to FF scenes...

Loving OLTL lately.

Sarah is quickly becoming a favorite of mines.

As a Nash and Jessica fan I'm loving their scenes. You know it's pretty much the calm before the storm while Jared Banks is lurking around town.

Yeah I liked the Capricorn scenes a bit, but I don't like Adrianna alot lately, so her "holier thou" act around Sarah gets on my last nerve.

I've got mixed feelings on Todd and all of it. I just stopped caring about the storyline (DAMN DENA) that I don't care at all who gets Tommy.

I like seeing Shaun the bodyguard, and wish we could actually see more of him...he does more for me than Vincent

Well my favorite part of the show was the Todd and Lindsey interaction. It is so great to see different actor connect. I love the vibe I get from TSJ and Catherine. I think they should have hate sex because that would be HOT!!!

The Jail scenes the best part of the day.

      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 this on Twitter on Friday when Leslie mentioned Chicago, so perhaps she might be related to one of Anita's bandmates. In addition, Leslie did say she grew up listening to The Articulettes too.
    • 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.
