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...

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.

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.

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* :D

...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.

:P 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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      Thanks -- you're doing God's work The Gio reveal was everything I hoped for and more. GH got it right. Head to toe, GM is a stunning physical specimen.

      I really wonder how they'll handle Netflix's usual long breaks between seasons. That girl is going to grow up fast... makes me wonder if this wouldn't have been a better fit for HBO Max considering they're leaning into a more broadcast style of production model with The Pitt.

      I agree -- I didn't suspect Ted, either. I think a lot of people are giving themselves way too much credit in predicting Ted's problems

      And can I have a different take on Ted here? Yes, he's made a huge mistake with this Leslie debacle, and yes, he has to suffer and pay for it. But does that make Ted a terrible human being? I don't think it does. He made a horrific mistake over 2 decades ago, and as far as we know, he's been a good husband and father since. As far as we know, he hasn't strayed or violated his marriage since. He didn't know that he fathered another child, and thought he "removed" Leslie from his life. I won't blame Nicole if she doesn't forgive him, but I also won't blame her if she decides what they have and what they've had more than makes up for what he did. Ted is getting dragged far more than Bill is on these boards, and I think Bill is MUCH worse as a husband and father. How many times did he cheat on Dani during their marriage? How many times did he do vile things in his role as fixer? How much did he hurt his daughters by screwing their friend and marrying her? With Keith Robinson coming in as Ted, maybe we'll see a character change in direction and we'll discover that Ted has many flaws and always had a dark side. For now, though, I'm inclined to both be angry with Ted for hurting his family while also sympathizing with him. I know what you mean, but I do think that was intentional. So much was going on in that episode, and I think they decided not to let Nicole's reaction be lost in all that. Nicole will get those scenes that you're asking for.
