Welcome to the One Life to Live Discussion Thread for the week of January 7th, 2007. It looks like an exciting week centering around the hostage situation at the Bon Jour Cafe. 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...

No one watched or is everyone back to work this week like I am! :P

The show was good, a little slow.

I thought there should have been more Viki/Marcie talk or Todd/Marcie negotiation talk.

I seen the preview for the "standoff" and Todd getting his child back, it really looks exciting for this week!

I bet tomorrow will be excellent!!

Yeah it was quite slow, but I understand why; because the show is trying to build up for Friday's show.

I LOVED Dorian today. She's such a coniving beyotch, and I love her for being one.

Jared and Jess actually had some sparks today. What's up with Forbes March hair though?

The drama in Paris was real good. I love how they're throwing Viki into all of this; Erika Slezak is going to rock this, as is Kathy Brier.

Rex and Adrianna....um well, I'm not really into them (Rex and Gigi!), but I'm glad the fact that their part in the Tommy mess is not being forgotten.

People do not know what they are missing when it comes to OLTL.

It was a pretty good show, I thought there should have been more Viki/Marcie/Todd/John over all the Rex/Adriana stuff we got. But I do love that Viki is right in the middle of this and I loved the look on Todd's face when Marcie shoved Viki to the window.

Now THIS is the Dorian Lord that I can watch. The scenes between Charlie and Dorian showed me exactly what she is going to try and do, and its the old school Dorian, which I love.

Still see more sparks between Jared and Natalie. Jess pretending to be Tess just did not excite me and I cannot wait for it to come back and bite her in the butt.

Good show today!

Loved the cliffhanger. I agree. Keeping yourself from John and Todd will make things work. I wanted to smack Marcie for talking to Viki like that. Ugh. Now I am rooting for Todd!

The scenes between Charlie and Dorrian was excellent. It was well done. I like how Dorrian was like "Oh I know a Viki" :lol: I also know the cafe the uniform came from. :D

Tess and Jarad was fun to watch! :D

GO RON!!!! KEEP DOING A GOOD JOB!

Marcie is out of control!

I was rather bored with FakeTess. BW was laying it on rather thick. I didn't see any chemistry between FakeTess and Jared. He's far better with Natalie.

I kinda liked Adriana and Rex, and I never say anything positive about them :o

LOVED Dorian today!! :lol::lol::lol:

I think OLTL is so good right now. I'm going to be sad when they wrap up this Paris, Texas arc. I wish the diner Vikki is working in could be transported to Llanview.

I love the way Antonio and Talia's story is playing out. I never thought I could like Antonio after the whole Jess mess, but I do.

I agree with you there. Never thought I'd like Antonio after the past few years actually (Aside from John,there was alot of Anotnio propping), but wow RC has actually redeemed him somewhat in my eyes. The Talia and Antonio romance is so classic and genuine, and the actress that plays Talia is a keeper.

Ron Carlivati, you are my best friend. Will you marry me?

Seriously, putting Viki at the center of the show's biggest and most important story is smart and entertaining. Marcie's clearly at the end of her rope, and it's going to be very interesting to see how the entire cast reacts to the Paris, TX hostage situation.

Jessica was beyond annoying today. What an idiot. It would serve her right if Tess did come out. I hope Jared hasnt falln for her scheme. Id like to think he was humoring her and is out to play her.

Nash needs to cut the hair. It was looking too long today

LMAO at Dorian. I love this woman. It will be fun to see her mess with Viki and Charlie

Marcie is a nut and I hope jail is in her future soon. She should not get away with what she is doing

Today's show was so intriguing where the hostage situation is concerned, it left me on the edge of my seat and I think that KB and ES are doing one hell of a job with this material. I loved how everyone found out about Viki's secret life in Paris, TX, and the expression on Natalie, Jessica and Dorian's face was priceless.

Dorian is one vindictive woman, but this is the "real" Dorian and the one I've missed watching the last couple of years. Glad to see that Charlie is uncomfortable in the house, because I'm hoping that it is only going to be one night that he stays there. I was leery about him choosing the name Balsom, but once they showed it, it was great.

Can't wait to see more of the showdown in TX tomorrow.

      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.
    • 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.
