Welcome_to_Llanview.jpg


Welcome to the One Life to Live Discussion Thread for the week of October 29th, 2007. It looks to be a great week on OLTL, as we Tonja Walker and Tuc Watkins return as Alex and David, "Death" visits Llanview, and so much more! 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...

Can anyone keep me up to speed about the last three OLTL eps? I missed them and I have no way to see them... :(

If someone is willing, just generally, I know a lot of things must have happened. Mostly about Vikki and Todd/Marcie stories :).

I really enjoyed the show today.

Of course the Paris crew was my favorite. It's so good to see Viki finally happy and enjoying her life, and I really am liking Gigi, at least she's getting Viki to talk about her feelings and her life.

As much as I didn't think I'd like the Marcie/Drag Queens thingy, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, it was actually kinda funny.

Can't wait for Blair to find out that Rex and Adriana have known for a while now that Tommy was Todd's, they need to pay as much as Michael does in keeping that secret.

Have to shake my head at Renee, I mean this is usually a very smart woman and I can't believe she is not seeing Jared (whom I really like) for what he is, a con man. Although I loved the interaction between Renee and Natalie today.

For me, the one thing that I could do without is Todd and John in the car.

I can forgive Renée. She's in mourning and unbalanced. Her attraction to Jared is icky and compelling at the same time. Maybe I'm just happy to see more of her.

Can't stand John or Todd but am willing to endure them as the story moves forward.

At first, I wasn't feeling this drag queen/Marcie plot point... but I have to say, that it's actually way better than I thought. I like how they connected it to Eric, and how they are protective of her and Tommy. Harvey and Lee was too funny.

As for Todd and John, really? Why do they need to be seen in the car arguing? I mean, Todd is an ass who only thinks of himself, and John is just plain annoying.

I really not feeling the whole Paris thing.

Well, not a whole lot of movement really, imo Vikki has a customer that GiGi is encouraging her to flirt with. I think he knows who she really is, but that's just my guess. He's moving into the hotel V is staying at.

Todd and John are in the car arguing about if Todd can be a good parent. Meanwhile, the FBI agent is on Marcie's trail, but she is saved by drag queens. Blair is trying to be Langston's foster mother, but Todd doesn't know yet.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

The Paris Storyline is getting really interesting, isn't it?

Oh, and did everyone catch the fact that they are going to TEXAS for Asa's will? Oooh, something tells me some ol', good-fashioned soap run-in will occur. :D :D :D

Maybe it's lack of sleep talking but I loved today's show. And I am no fan of drag queens.

I even enjoyed the teens, John and Todd, but most of all I loved the frenetic pacing. Not every episode should be like this, but one or two here and there is a great upbeat change.

Even the fantasy elements had me. It's been a long time since I've liked Melissa Archer as much as I did in that witch costume. David Fumero needs to do more scenes that take advantage of his laid back style (or lack thereof).

And as of today, I officially love Justus Bolding's version of Sarah. She reminds me of a very young version of Julie Harris.

John Brotherton as Jared? Loved him. Message to PTB: Don't overexpose him like you did with Michael Easton.

      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.

      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.
