OLTL Discussion: Week of October 1st

[baller]

I've loved the past two days. As much as the custody thing annoys me, it's been good to watch. I thought Kristen Alderson totally nailed the scenes yesterday.

Dorian and Langston...I LOVE the two of them. This is SOOOO going to be a storyline worth watching...

[poohbear19]

You know, I thought there was some familar about it. I mentioned to myself a few days ago, how I swear I had seen this done before with Antonio... and I loved Sophia, I can't believe I didn't remember.

I treated myself to a whole episode today and saw Michael and Marcie kiss in the courtroom because I guess that kind of thing happens, Michael lying, and Marcie saying she's the best mother Tommy could ever have and something about his first words--but does he ever talk? Do they ever let him walk? But I digress, Michael seemed so vile to me today with every word he spoke that I found myself wondering how adversely this will affect his character. I can't empathize with his character at all because despite Todd being Todd, Michael looks a whole lot worse for letting Rex shoulder the blame for keeping Tommy's identity a secret when he knew all along. They are wisely distancing Rex from this by involving him in the Dorian/Langston s/l.

Langston and Markko's scenes actually made the Capricorn crew scenes look very juvenile. I know it's all cutesy stuff but it's more cutesy jr high variety.

Oh man, Talia/George/Shaun thing was SO funny today. Beth Ann is a great actress, they gotta put Tonio and Talia together. Seriously.

[MichaelGL]

Haha I found those scenes funny too. Beth Ann is wonderful, I love every scene that she's in.

[baller]

total word on that one. I loved the scenes, and the whole Shaun and Talia thing was SOOOOO great...

[NikiSmith]

I'm surprised that I'm enjoying the show so much. M/M's court struggle feels like a train wreck that is coming that you just have to stop and watch.

Scotty -- any scoop on the Viki storyline coming up?

[MichaelGL]

With the current state of all the soaps, I'm surprised too that I'm enjoying the show so much. RC is doing a wonderful job so far.

[Scotty]

Not yet...it doesn't look like Viki will pop up in Llanview again until toward the end of the month.

The next few weeks will be filled with the Langston and baby Tommy storylines, with a sprinkling of the others thrown in.

[baller]

and I just died a happy camper

[Juliajms]

Yuck. I don't like the actress who plays Langston. It could be worse though. At least they aren't focusing on Cole.

[Scotty]

I think Brittany Underwood is a good actress...and I agree, at least they aren't building another story around Cole at the moment...Brandon Buddy has the acting talent of a rock.

[TC]

I agree. I like the actress who plays Langston. Loved the little Nelly Olsen type who played Britney too, but.. oh well.

As for Brandon Buddy, half the time I can't tell if he's the one who has a crush on John or if it's his mother.

*maybe it's just the writing*

[Scotty]

...oh don't get me started on John and Marty... LOL

Did you notice that they had to work paper airplanes into their conversation for the millionth time? It was right after he asked if she prefered powered or glazed donuts. Everytime I see those two together, they have pretty much the same discussion, which leaves me wanting to bang my head against the wall.

[TC]

You're addressing the wrong person here. I've never seen any chemistry between John and any other woman on OLTL, but with Marty it's been the worst. Much as I detest Michael Easton, I almost feel sorry for him in those scenes. Half the time he looks like he has the taste of Gene Simmons' infamous unwiped arse in his mouth.

And CC is a very attractive women.
