Thursday was another good episode but could have done without Marty.

Viki and Gigi scenes were cute with Gigi trying to find out what happened on Viki's date and Viki would not BUDGE!lol I LMAO when Viki knew what was going on with Gigi's friend in the motel! SCARY!lol

Charlie and Viki were also cute, especially when Viki finally figured out that she never knew Charlie's last name.

I was happy that Nash punched Jared, their rivalry makes me think maybe Gigi will be Nash sister and Jared, Shanes dad. Then the rivalry will continue?

The Buchannons at the ranch was perfect but where was Natalie?

Looking forward to David/Alex/Dorian at the ranch, this is gonna be a HOOT!

Viki and Charlie's scenes today are just awesome! I wonder if he's NASH'S father, since it would be ironic for the wine fanatic to have an alcoholic father.

I hope something big happens at the bake-off. Maybe that's where everything comes to a head in Paris. I really want pie now, haha...

How the hell does Marty know they are in Ireland?

I have been loving this show for months now. It's amazing what some talented new blood, following a single vision theory can do for the show. Carlivati managed to clean up Higley's mess and even make her material seem ok. Since he's begun as the solo HW, everything has "meshed" so to speak. The show isn't perfect, but he's giving us what we want. More vets and less of the unneeded characters & characters we don't really like.

Someone around here tries to say that Carlivati isn't doing a good job b/c OLTL is hitting record lows. IMO, that is not his fault. Creatively, the show is having a great return to greatness. The fact that OLTL is stuck inbetween a sinking ship in AMC and a clusterfuck at GH, hurts the show at times. Like I've been saying, I'd much rather a show have low ratings, and be a critical success (like GL has been), and pray the ratings get better. Than have the show be on top and be a creatively bankrupt.

I'll be back more with things to say about the storylines. :D

To say that the ratings are a good judge of quality is ridiculous. The show is the best soap on the air right now. Viki, Dorian, Clint and Nora are on five days a week in wonderful storylines. Characters that have stifled airtime for years, such as Antonio, are taking a backseat with inoffensive small stories. Marcie is no longer the cute chubby girl with a heart of gold, she's a flawed and strong heroine. Humor is once again rampant in Llanview. The teens act like teens. The ratings are bad because viewers tune out after the disaster that is AMC.

Add me to the bandwagon. I loved it today.

Aside from the John/Lee/Marty/Cole, today's OLTL was engaging and over too soon, and I watched in real time. The scenes I thought were throwaway were short.

There was a naturalness about it that is no longer present on most soaps - I'm referring to the three younger couples on the patio. I was surprised at how realistic it was.

Loved the last scenes between Jared and Nat, and I kinda hate Nat. MA was at the top of her game today. I'd forgotten she could act. JB was hit and miss as Jared, but made up for it in that well-written scene between him and MA.

Along the same vein of natural, Clint and Nora were delightful. And believable as what they were.

And Viki and Charlie. I didn't see that coming. Good storytelling.

Even Todd and Blair were bearable.... and mature. A big step for them.

And I love nuSara!

      No. Ruth had an extramarital affair with David while married to Joe.

      I'm not sure I agree with Bernstein's children on that. Bernstein's life and activism here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Bernstein#Social_activism_and_humanitarian_efforts

      Thursday & Friday's episodes were excellent. The build-up was most definitely worth the wait (2 months). TMG, I can't give her enough accolades. AM, was also absolutely incredible. I think the fallout is going to have a ripple effect. The little clues that have been dropped,  hopefully, will weave seamlessly to reveal even bigger bombshells for the Dupree's and Martin.

      Thanks, msn drives me nuts on the one hand but on the other hand their headlines appeal to me. And, I just don't do FoxNews.

      The link doesn't work.  The actual link is this: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/composer-leonard-bernstein-s-children-request-his-music-be-played-in-the-kennedy-center-in-rebuke-to-trump/ar-AA1E7gw5 That's a reprint of a FoxNews article. MSN reprints stuff from many sources. You can tell the source from the logo above the headline on the msn page. The FoxNews article is describing what Leonard Bernstein's children wrote -- as a "letter to the editor" of the New York Times. Instead of reading it filtered through FoxNews, here is the original: "Our Dad, Leonard Bernstein, Would Want His Music Played at the Kennedy Center" https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/opinion/kennedy-center-leonard-bernstein-protest.html Non-paywall archived copy of the same NYTimes letter, without commentary: https://archive.is/QaLqD

      Guiding Light Discussion Thread

      Might be a long shot, because I can't find a thing online about it, but I was Googling the actress that played Nell Cleary (Frank's cop friend that went through academy and then became cops together during the entire Brent Lawrence storyline). To my surprise, she passed away in 2011, at the very young age of 45. I can't find her obituary or anything online about her passing, but I'm curious, does anyone know what happened? Her IMDB only shows a few other acting gigs post-Guiding Light, so she didn't make a career out of it, but I thought she was a great actress in her role as Cleary. Her name was Mary Peterson.

      What was Ruth Martin's association to the Thornton family?  I only remember the daughter that dated Tad, and she had a buxom mother.  But, did Ruth date David Thorton before Joe?

      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.
