Welcome_to_Llanview.jpg
Welcome to the One Life to Live Discussion Thread for the week of September 10th, 2007. It looks to be another fun week on OLTL, with the highlight being Marcie's discovery that the obvious has been staring her in the face all along, but that she has been too blind to see 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...

I enjoyed today's episode. At least Todd wasn't screaming. Glad that Blair told him he was acting like a two year old.

Of course, the highlight was the John/Marcie/Michael scenes. The truth is finally out!!

Overall, the show is MUCH improved. Check out the link to the Canadian TV Guide soaps site. They LOVE OLTL there, and proclaim it daytime's BEST show! They positively gush about OLTL!!!!

WOw I'd never read the Canadian TVGUide site before for soap news--i'll have to from now on. You're right th epast 3 weeks they've been all about OLTL--a bit too much though they do bring up some good points (but when they claim that Carliavati is "already drawing comparisons to Douglas Marland" I had to ask... by whom??)

I know people are hating on Todd but this angry man is much toned down compared to the Todd that Roger Howarth was playing... Todays episode was fricken awesome! OLTL has been consistently good for over a month now! Loved the Todd and Rex confrontation.

Lol then you might as well arrest almost everyone in Daytime TV. Its not going to happen so I wouldn't hold your breath. More importantly I don't think the majority of fans would want that to happen to any of those characters. Except John maybe. Personally I don't care for John or Michael but Rex is lovable and I can't see OLTL without him.

Yeah I do feel for Rex. I mean he really was stuck in a hard place. I mean he knew how angry Todd would get yet he knew how much it would hurt Marcie and Michael. Whats a guy to do in that position. I flove Todd (especially under TSJ) but I also see him for what his is. And I don't know if Tommy would be better off in the long run with Todd (even though hes the biological father) than Marcie and Michael.

I only caught a LITTLE bit of Roger Howarth as Todd on OLTL. That was back in the day when Blair was preggers with I believe and the child was believed to be Max Holden's. But then there was the whole whos the daddy situation and Todd chased her down and revealed he was the father if I remember correctly.

Anyways they had awesome chemistry (RH & Cassie DePavia). However I'm loving TSJ as Todd and I'm loving RH as Paul Ryan on ATWT so I'm happy the way things are right now.

On a final note all the great posts in this thread have convinced me to watch OLTL regularly now. Seems like this week is MUST SEE television!

Rex has gotten himself into a bind, and I hope RC doesn't let Rex escape some punishment in this storyline. Rex had been hired by Todd first to help him clear his name with the Margaret business, being on Todd's side at least for the money. Rex also accepted money to help Todd find his child. Rex turned on Todd for no apparent reason other than he liked Michael and Marcie better -- and lied to Todd rather than refuse to help him. I hope Carlivati's Todd has some bite behind all his current bark, and turns some of it on Rex. At best, Rex should lose his PI license over this.

The storyline is working well. Children do spark a lot of emotion, which is pulling people into debates, and into the storyline. It's not exactly clear cut, and if some of it is ridiculous, at least most of the emotions characters portray are reasonably recognizable.

Okay, let's not count our chickens before they hatch. I'm as excited as the next guy, but everyone knows that the best times (historically) on a soap are the first few weeks after a new head writer starts, mainly because they kick the previous head writer's stories into high gear to end them. I have high hopes for RC but to call him Doug Marland when his own stories haven't even aired yet? that's a little premature.

Michael, Rex, and Adriana seem to feel since Todd did so many bad things in the past he has no right to his son. Plus they feel since he already has two children then he really doesn't need his third child. Todd maybe a bad person when it comes to adults, but where a child is involved he cares for them in his own twisted way. Todd was wrong with what he did with Jack when he was born but people need to remember that Blair lied to Todd by saying that Jack was Max's child. Once Todd found out that Jack was his son he did everyting in his piower to get him back. Also Starr and Blair do know what Todd did to Jack and she forgave him cause they understood why Todd did what he did. I think that Todd should tell Jack what he did to him when he was born.

Sad that Ron is getting off to a ridiculous start. Really ridiculous.

Rex taking that sanctimonious attitude with Todd. Is he going to be charged? Adrianna?

Todd behaving like a bafoon. He could be calm and still get his point across.

John's clear abuse of power. Why has Todd not mentioned this to the judge?

Why is Blair there? Too bad Vange is comatosed.

Marcy the shrill is more annoying than words could possibly say.

Michael standing there while his wife believes he's innocent. He was the total opposite of a man yesterday.

For anyone to remotely believe that Marcie and Mike have a legal toe on which to stand is totally ridiculous! They don't, espeicially since Michael has assisted in the kidnapping. Todd has been searching for his son, which means the adoption is null and void! We won't even discuss the fact that he thought the boy was dead. Another reason why there is no way this should ever see the inside of a courtroom.

So I guess what I am trying to say is that Ron is getting off to a bad start. I won't give him much time because I don't care too much for OLTL (I just want to see Rex strung up by the balls), and more importantly, Ron is doing a poor job.

OLTL is still at an F!

    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
    • 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. 
    • Anita vs. Leslie, bring it!
    • 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?
