OLTL Discussion: Week of January 7th

[asa]

They've done a great job of taking Marcie and turning her from a sympathetic character into an on-edge lunatic. I've never liked Marcie but now that's she flown off the handle I'm kind of enjoying her at the moment.

So, is it time to speculate how Charlie will end up actually being Rex's father, therefore making Jared and Rex related? I'm hopeful they don't go in that direction but even when a soap is doing most things right (and well), there tends to be mistakes made in the hopes of connecting characters.

I'm also liking the Tess storyline. I'm hopeful it won't end predictably (AKA every Viki/Niki arch) but I won't hold my breath.

Today was a very suspenseful episode. I absolutely loved Marcie and Viki's interaction and I hope it gets more and more intense as this goes on. I loved seeing all of Llanview turn on the TV and see what was going on. PRICELESS.

[AddictedToSoaps]

What an amazing episode. I love how everyone in Llanview is connected to the events in Paris.

Kathy Brier has yet again proved what a great actress she is.

[nhee]

I have to agree. Very suspense filled show. I liked the ending with everyone finding out about it on TV

[daysfan]

Oh my gosh, if Charlie was actually Rex's father, I wonder if he would actually be Walter or something and...

CHARLIE would be the one who took Natalie away from Viki?!

I know that is far fetched but it was a thought that came to mind.

Anyways, I LOVED the ending of today's ep. I am on the edge of my seat.

[Toups]

ITA. Brilliant move by putting Viki in this storyline. I'm finally liking this storyline now.

Charlie was funny today: "I'm Charlie........Charlie Bossom." The look on Rex's face was hilarious! LMAO

[asa]

Those would make things a lot more interesting. As a drunk, Charlie could have led almost a double life (in soap world) so why not dream big.

[Ryan]

I find it odd that both times Rex mentioned learning more about his family (once when looking for Paige's son and recently), Roxy has freaked out. I wonder why?

Hmmmmmm...........

[Gordon24]

Good show, good show & the rest of this week looks just as exciting!!

I remember that! I wonder if not only is Rex's paternity in question, but also his maternity? What if Roxy got Rex the same way she got Natalie and has been keeping it a secret all this time.

[daysfan]

Viki just brought up Megan dying, I never even connected that Viki lost a child like Marcie might lose hers, only in a different way.

[leevo64]

I liked today's episode, especially everyone watching TV.

Anyone else really liking the new Michael? I think he's doing a great job.

[MichaelGL]

Excellent show today. This week is really turning out to be one to remember.

I agree that nuMichael is doing a great job. Better than the old one.

[DrewH]

I'm really going to miss Noelle after this Paris, Texas storyline is over. I'll even miss Mo.

We already know that Gigi will eventually show up in Llanview due to her connection to Rex. I'm interested in Roxy's first scenes with Gigi. I wonder if she liked Rex's girlfriend back in high school, or if she thought she was a little tramp.

[dm.]

Putting Moe and Noelle on contract wasn't really clever if they won't use them longer, but never mind. They are both interesting and fun, but it would be hard to somehow make them go to Llanview. On the other hand, Gigi will probably be there.

Today's episode was great too. The hostage situation is quite interesting, I can't wait to see how it plays out (I'm spoiler-free).
