Another fab episode as always. So glad Marcie released Viki, and I hope this finally ends soon. Loved everyone watching it all back in Llanview, and it looks like Viki confronts Gigi tomorrow. :D

As for Gary writing, it looks like, based on spoilers, for awhile he may be following an outline of Ron's, although I wouldn't know.

WOW...another great show today. I am loving this, it turned out better than I thought it would, but I know its because Viki was thrown in the middle. Marcie has totally lost it, I can't believe that she thought Viki was faking and then she refused to let anyone get Viki's meds. God, Viki was right, she's one selfish woman.

I am loving NuMichael, and I didn't know if I would.

Still shaking my head at the fact that Viki's family excluding Todd is still SITTING on their duffs, wondering why she's down there and what she's doing. Gosh, I so want Viki to tell them because she couldn't stand her life in Llanview because everyone was always pulling her this way and that way and she needed a break from them all. I'm not liking those kids or Clint very much right now.

I like Jared. I can't help it. I just do. LOL.

I loved today's episode. Marcie's really selfish. Viki was totally right. And I can totally see why Viki left Llanview in the first place - her family is ridiculous. Their mother is in grave danger and all Jessica can do is mention Niki Smith? Natalie was right to be annoyed with that. The past few months they have really painted Jessica in a vain and selfish light, and it's interesting to see how different she and Natalie are.

One of my favorite scenes today was between Lee and Gigi. That was intense. She's really made an enemy out of Ramsey - and he's nuts. I hope he stays on the show, he's turning into a great villain.

Natalie did have a right to be annoyed, but running off and going to Paris Texas is very Niki-like, even last month David thought Viki was Niki. I keep wondering if we'll see a Niki return with how she has been mentioned, although it could just be being realistic to mention her.

Anyone else hate Marcie? I had no use for her before but her current actions have made her that much more unbearable for me. I think some might see her as a desperate mother and getting sympathy that way but she gets none for me. She has been acting evil and psychotic and the way she treated Viki was downright despicable. This isnt somethign that will be easily redeemable for me. I also cant believe she was waving that gun around with a toddler right next to her. And with cops and FBI agents with gun surrounding her, one of which was crazy enoguh to take a shot at them, well anything could have happened. She is thinkng about herself and not whats best for the child. Right now she can go to hell and I want her in prison. Girl deserves to be locked up

Powerful episode today. It's been an intense week.

So how many characters were on today? Anyone knows? It seems to be alot!

Just give Kathy Brier the Emmy NOW! She is hitting these scenes out of the park. The scenes with Marcie and Michael at the door were touching. So much emotional intensity in today's show; from Natalie/Jared to the hostage situation.

That Ramsey is a jerk. Roxie continues to make me LOL with the stuff that comes out of her mouth. I wish TSJ would have displayed more emotion when Todd heard about Viki's heart trouble.

I liked GT's OLTL. he made it fun! He had alot of interesting and fun ideas. Live week, Changing places and the Babes Behind Bars. He really did care about the soap and genre. Plus best story under him was the introduction of Roxy, Natalie and Alison Perkins which made for some must see tv

And don't forget animated Starr. I agree with you Cheap, I liked the comedy and lightheartedness of Tomlin's stint as EP of OLTL. You could tell he really cared about the show, and that he was afraid of trying something new or different.

    • The link doesn't work.  The actual link is this: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/composer-leonard-bernstein-s-children-request-his-music-be-played-in-the-kennedy-center-in-rebuke-to-trump/ar-AA1E7gw5 That's a reprint of a FoxNews article. MSN reprints stuff from many sources. You can tell the source from the logo above the headline on the msn page. The FoxNews article is describing what Leonard Bernstein's children wrote -- as a "letter to the editor" of the New York Times. Instead of reading it filtered through FoxNews, here is the original: "Our Dad, Leonard Bernstein, Would Want His Music Played at the Kennedy Center" https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/opinion/kennedy-center-leonard-bernstein-protest.html Non-paywall archivedcopy of the same NYTimes letter, without commentary: https://archive.is/QaLqD
    • Might be a long shot, because I can't find a thing online about it, but I was Googling the actress that played Nell Cleary (Frank's cop friend that went through academy and then became cops together during the entire Brent Lawrence storyline). To my surprise, she passed away in 2011, at the very young age of 45. I can't find her obituary or anything online about her passing, but I'm curious, does anyone know what happened? Her IMDB only shows a few other acting gigs post-Guiding Light, so she didn't make a career out of it, but I thought she was a great actress in her role as Cleary. Her name was Mary Peterson.
    • What was Ruth Martin's association to the Thornton family?  I only remember the daughter that dated Tad, and she had a buxom mother.  But, did Ruth date David Thorton before Joe?

      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.
