OLTL Discussion: Week of September 10th

NM seemed off to me and I have to blame the writers and director, they didn't give him any lines to say that were normal for Michael nor did they give him any natural blocking to act out. I really thought at that point NM needed to take over, he knows his character and his character would have grabbed Marcie and held onto her.

Todd is being so awful I understand he has legal rights, but I will never say he "deserves" his son. He has not shown me any reason to think for a milisecond that he "deserves" him. fetilizing an egg doesn't make you deserving of anything, but I will admit legally he has a right to him.

I just want someone to say that Starr and Jack were not raised by Todd, How many times have they actually lived with him and him alone? They were raised by Blair, and Dorian and the nanny....none of who are related to Tommy and will have no legal rights to raise him. That is why I feel the kid has a better chance being raised by Mike and Marcie even though legally they will never get him.

I just think Ron is not meeting any expectations for me at all, I feel the actors at times are doing so great with what they are given but even then the dialogue and interactions are terrible ( imo) Kathy did pheonomenal but I thought some of the stuff they had Marcie say were either boring, or didn't seem to fit with what was going on> I am not impressed with Ron at all and I feel that the writer he hired to replace the one he fired is not doing a good job.

Yep! This is all part of why I could care less about Todd and don't want him to "raise" Tommy.

I'm not feeling anything from him on why he would want to raise Tommy, outside of the "He mine!" BS. He hated Mad Mags and tried to kill her even when she was pregnant... and even at one point said that he didn't care about their kid... and now suddenly he does? Why? I'm not seeing it.

I'm waiting for the day that everyone involved in this Tommy storyline has to pay...John, Michael, Rex, and Adriana. I know I should be feeling for Marcie but I don't, and for most days I don't find myself feeling for anyone but Tommy, he's the one that is going to get hurt when all is said and done.

It's hard for me to stay focused on the show because I miss Viki SO much.

Finally! I've been waiting for an ep like this from OLTL since February 2007! Ron C. has revved this up & I hope he doesn't slow down anytime soon. While 9/13/07 wasn't great, it was miles above the crap they've been passing off as entertainment for months. The only gripe: Kathy's over-acting, the stiff McBain lawyer & the obsession with John McBain/Michael Easton. I watch all 8 shows (y'all better invest in a DVR), and not one of them has a central character except for OLTL. Solution: Get rid of Easton. I have a feeling that the Easton hard-on will ruin the Todd vs. McBain/Tommy story. The damage has already begun. Does or will Ron C. have more control over OLTL than Higley did? I hope so.

I complete agree, I can't believe there is support for Micheal after willing participating in a kidnapping because he felt he would be a better father. Lest we forget his trying to keep Todd comatose and not let his family see him to cover his crime. For all those Marcie sympathizers I will feel sorry for her when she is kidnapped on her wedding day, repeatedly raped, tied and injured. framed for murder and put on death row, has her husband taken away, has all her friends turn against her, is executed and revived, told about a child that is not dead then kidnapped again, stabbed, drugged beaten, then told its your fault and we dont want to give you back your son--Please! You fans kill me, if that had happened to a woman it would be so much more sympathetic, no matter how you feel about Todd, the last two years I wouldn't wish on anyone.

I agree completely! I can't wait for it to come out in court that Rex faked the death certificate and that Michael knew about it.

Todd has every right to his son. He has been looking for that baby since day 1 and when there was any hint of his baby's location he pursued that lead. Meanwhile Spencer, Miles, Rex and Michael did everthing to impede his progress.

So if not for theif interference Todd would have his son, and the McBain's would have adopted another baby legally!

I actually came back for this storyline but from what I have been reading and seeing majority of the people are on Todd's side in this. Micheal and Marcie are not looking good. I feel for Marcie because she did not know but now she knows and is about to look stupid. As for Mc Dud, Rex and Micheal I feel nothing for them and hope Todd brings them nothing but pain. I 100% on Todds side.

Oh give it two/three months, I'm sure when Marcie does something... it will erase all the evil that Todd has ever done; and he will be the "good" guy while ruining Marcie (and not Michael, that's long gone). Marcie's has some sympathy, but most of the people are mostly Todd's side, because of all that he's "suffered" for the son he tried to kill and didn't care about at first. Todd's suffering means nothing for me... he's getting paid back in those two years for all the mess he dished out and barely got punished for, so... <_<

Yep, Marcie and Tommy the only real innocent people here. John, Michael, and Rex were all somewhat wrong... and Todd stirred the pot up with Spencer.

I cant stand Marcie. She is annoying as hell and I really hope Todd gets his son back. Michael and Rex need to be locked up as does everyone else that was involved in this kidnapping plot. Todd is hte only one I feel sympathy for

What is the deal behind Jessica and Jared?

    • 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?
