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!

    • 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?
    • Honestly who's to say Leslie even birthed Eva, I mean she's a liar, I wouldn't believe a word she says about Eva being Ted's(or hers)
