Welcome to the One Life to Live Discussion Thread for the week of December 3rd, 2007. It looks to be another great in Llanview, as Viki returns to town. 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...

Loving David with Marcie.

OMG Dorian just heard the convo..this is good soap writing.

OLTL was great once again... Dorian/Jared/Charlie was interesting... It feels weird seeing the nuMichael... Plus, one character will be no more tommorow... Eh, it will be a great week.

Hmmm....apparently there was an updated

That leaves Clint, Nora, Dorian, Layla, Vincent, Adriana, Gigi, Charlie, Jared, nuMichael, Jessica, Nash, Lindsay (perhaps) for tomorrow, with of course Viki at the end again.

I get the feeling NuMikey will be put where that OLTL flash was between Marcie and Rex, that flash seemed out of pace with the rest of them. They probably didnt' get the new guy in to do his shot yet.

I agree. Dorian's now involved in this Jared storyline, and David's now involved in the Marcie storyline. Ron's doing a good job at mixing characters in different storylines.

I thought NuMichael was a pretty decent actor.

Does anyone like the new OLTL bumpers? They debuted on Friday.

I think the new OLTL opening (as in the real new one) will debut soon. I remember hearing they were filming new shots a few months ago.

A new opening! Awesome! Where'd you hear that from?

...Are you sure the shots they were shooting weren't only for the new bumpers that debuted Friday? (which look great by the way) However, it doesn't make sense that the other soaps don't have any new bumpers, usually ABC debuts new stuff on the same day. It also doesn't make sense that OLTL updated the opening today, if one was going to premiere soon, then why fully update the old one? I guess they could make those bumpers into an opening, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Speaking of the updated opening, I'm glad that Todd, Blair and Starr start off this version again. I like the new "OLTL flash" too, but to me it doesn't flow or look good with the rest of the flashes. The new shots don't look so great with the rest of them either, they are noticibly different in quality than the original ones.

Jumping to yet another topic...what does everybody think of NuMichael? IMO, he's going to take some getting used to.

The soapyness of it is so satisfying. Who else but Dorian would be peeking through keyholes and eavesdropping? The interconnections are begging for a more character driven product. Loving the potential but it's not quite there yet, though I am enjoying the ride.

I liked the more subdued, calmer, more introspective Michael. Chris Stack's less hyper approach is what the character needed.

I think the new OLTL opening (as in the real new one) will debut soon. I remember hearing they were filming new shots a few months ago.

New music too, I hope (or just a less cheesey version of the same theme). And I miss all those Llanview neighbourhood shots. Llanview itself should be almost as much a character as any other human counterpart.

This was what was taped a few months ago
