Members DrewH Posted January 2, 2008 Members Share Posted January 2, 2008 Oh and Gigi, is this really Farah Fath?! Girl either got some great acting lessons, or just didn't give a [!@#$%^&*] about DAYS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted January 2, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2008 Loved seeing Nora turn around to look at all the empty chairs behind her, and then ask the flunkie beside her how she ever got elected. Everybody's on the other side of the courtroom supporting Lindsay. The subtle humor is a nice touch on OLTL if you can catch it. Like the other day when Rex and Adriana were talking about Gigi, and Adriana said something like "I don't care if her name is Gigi, Mimi, Fifi, she...." OLTL is certainly on the upswing these days.

Members Ryan Posted January 2, 2008 Members Share Posted January 2, 2008 Farah Fath has been a wonderful addition to OLTL's 20's set. I hated when news broke that she joined, but one thing ABC does well is utilize their acting coaches. There have been some really horrible people who have joined (or were bad on other shows) and improved thanks to their coaches. Farah works well with her scene partners and interacts very well with Erika Slezak. To me, if you can have scenes with Erika and hold your own, you're not that bad. I think she's happy at ABC and is showing that happiness by doing a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted January 2, 2008 Members Share Posted January 2, 2008 Dorian would never miss a chance to pick at Nora... I just love each scene with her. I love seeing Addie too, and they should probably use R.J. more. The Texas thing is slowly coming to an end, and it's really interesting. Can't wait to see more!

Members chrishntr Posted January 2, 2008 Members Share Posted January 2, 2008 I loved today's show. Don't think there was a thing that I didn't like or wanted to throw something at the tv, not even Marcie. Enjoyed the scenes between Viki and Moe, and I got a kick out of Moe telling her she was basically nuts for not going with Charlie (which I totally agree). And when he called her and Charlie a jackass, I nearly fell out of my chair. That was great. Loved, loved, loved the scenes between Addie, Blair and Dorian. And I guess I better enjoy Dorian while I can because it seems I am not going to be liking her much when she starts to mess with Viki and Charlie. I really enjoy Nora when she's in the courtroom and it was very funny that she had no one on her side and Lindsay had all these supporters. The confrontation between Nora and Dorian was great and I would love to see more of that. Ramsey is a jackass. I can't believe Todd did to Gigi what Marcie did to him. He is handling this all wrong, but isn't that Todd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted January 3, 2008 Members Share Posted January 3, 2008 I LOVED that! Nora was on fire today! It was great to see R.J. Good epsiode today. Like everyone else I am loving the humor on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted January 3, 2008 Members Share Posted January 3, 2008 Best soap on t.v right now, bar none. Its so simple if you think about it too? Ron is going with what he knows.... the veteran characters, drama, humor and above all, balance of story. How many characters were on today? Just think about that. I think I am going to have to watch OLTL more often. Keep it up Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted January 3, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 3, 2008 Including Tommy, the judge, and Lindsay's lawyer it was 22...plus a few extras. And probably half those on today were veterans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gordon24 Posted January 3, 2008 Members Share Posted January 3, 2008 Thanks for the count of characters...22, really?? WOW that is incredible. Todays' show was just amazing!!! NOT only was it fast paced but it just flowed so well through all of the characters and storylines! The near misses with Viki/Marcie/John/Michael were great. Nora, "back the hell off DORIAN!" was almost as good as "How did I get elected?" Very funny lines for those particular moments. Addie sporting the "FREE LINDSAY" shirt was also comical. IMO, Farah Fath is owning this role as a single mother, I just love her Gigi character. SO many Cliffhangers for tomorrow: Courtroom drama with Lindsay! Marcie at Gigi's door with Todd/Ramsey waiting! Michael and John hot on Gigi/Marcie's trail! Everyone so close to discovering Viki's real status!

Members Scotty Posted January 3, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 3, 2008 Yep, here's the list: Dorian, Blair, Addie, Viki, Moe, Jared, Charlie, Michael, John, Marcie, Tommy, Gigi, Todd, Ramsey, Bo, RJ, Nora, Lindsay, Noelle, Shane, Judge Shriver, Lindsay's lawyer (who we have seen before and whose name escapes me at the moment), and several extras were all on today. And I agree....so many cliffhangers, and today wasn't even Friday! OLTL has been rockin' it lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jess Posted January 3, 2008 Members Share Posted January 3, 2008 Sorry Ryan, I am a regular watcher, have been for more than a decade, or I was until recently. You know, I don't pretend to be an expert on soap operas or soap writers. I could really care less about the artistic quality or the creativity in script writing. To me this show is boring and it is the same stories that I saw five years ago. I also have to question if there is any character on OLTL anymore who is not approaching retirement age. As far as 22, 24 or 26 characters being shown a day. I don't care. There are three stories. That is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted January 3, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 3, 2008 You bring up a good point. Now soap can keep its top characters on everyday. From time to time, you have to bring in the back-up cast to give you a breather now and then. And that's what Monday's show was. No one really cares about Vincent, Layla, Shaun, and some of the others...but it filled up the episode, and gave the others a break. And they more than made up for that break with today's show IMO.

Members Scotty Posted January 3, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 3, 2008 I'm afraid I have to respectfully disagree with you. I have been a regular OLTL viewer for nearly all my 28 years, and I don't think the show is boring right now. Sure some of the stories have been recycled from the past, but the cast is making them work. And I really enjoy seeing more of all the veteran cast members lately. As for the retirement age thing, just look at Alice on DAYS, or Palmer, Opal, and Myrtle on AMC for example. Granted they're not on as much as they used to be, but they're still hanging in there. I like the creativity and artistic quality. I like the subtle humor, and the inside jokes. I like the lightened mood the show has had lately. I understand where you are coming from, but to me anyway the show is anything but boring. But that's just my two cents though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members daysfan Posted January 3, 2008 Members Share Posted January 3, 2008 Oh, I totally agree. Farah works ten times better on OLTL than she did Days, and Gigi is a much better character than Mimi ever was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted January 3, 2008 Members Share Posted January 3, 2008 I just want to say, even though some of us disagree, we still respect each other's opinions and that's why we're so freakin awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
