OLTL Discussion: Week of December 3rd


Recommended Posts

Thank you for posting the opening, it looks good but will look better if all the actors had new pictures inserted instead of using their older pics. I hear there are two versions so I assume the other version will have Dorian, Clint, Nora, Charlie, Jared, Gigi, and the rest of the cast.

As for monday's show it was good. I enjoyed the interaction between David/Tommy and Charlie/Jared with Dorian listening to it ALL! Now that has to be trouble!

The new Michael was decent but I still have to see how he interacts with the rest of the characters before I really can judge him.

SO today(Tuesday) is the day Marty dies, this is must see TV!

nuMichael isn't in either of the openings. Brian Kerwin (Charlie) isn't in either of the openings either. I think these updates were just temporary until the new one can debut, or until they finalize the lineup. OLTL has done temporary openings before, only to change it a few weeks later.

Monday and Tuesday's show (especially Tuesday's) have been awesome.

I think I'm really going to LIKE Chris Stack as Michael. He's seems pretty decent already, and miles above Nathaniel Marston. Ooo how smart of the writers to have both Charlie and Michael interact today.

Kathy Brier did an amazing job today with the scenes at the pay phone. How realistic of them to have the pay phone ask for change every few minutes. :lol: You don't normally have that occur on soaps.

I loved the scenes with David today. Viki too.

While I didn't care to see Marty die, cuz I simply don't care for her character, I loved the production values for the scenes.

I hope OLTL gets a new opening. The show is the best soap right now, and it's jarring to be really into the opening act of the show and admire the stories on the show, yet hear those drums and see those awful graphics with the opening.

I hate to gush, but, gee, this show is so darn good these days!!!

About the openings, I am very disappointed that this is all we get. It seems unlikely that they would go to all the trouble of the updates if they had a new opening in the wings.

And as for those bumbers....why are they all (with the exception of Jared) huffing and puffing and flaring their nostrils? What's up with that? They all look mean and/or quite angry about something!

Not just any lottery ticket, but the one that Gigi gave to her! :lol:

When the news broke about Marty, as much as i did not like the character it gave me chills watching everyones reaction.

So now Michael and Charlie are heading to Texas as will Rex, another possible showdown in TX?!

Here is the second OLTL Opening

    • 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.
    • ah thanks! do you know who the third one was in the blonde? the fifth one i know ive seen before in the brown wig but i forgot, and then ive never seen the psychic one before lol
    • 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. 
    • terrible at using forums and inserting photos, but jake in another world had a drag persona named doris, anyone know the episode or year? http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/ffad19.jpg
    • 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.
