OLTL Discussion: Week of January 21st

[Southofnowhere]

Anyone have pics of Jess being halued off to the looneybin? I thought it was happening today!

[Khan]

Agreed. What OLTL needs is that one, scorching, front-burner story that gets people talking (again), and gets 'em on the covers of all the magazines. Something like the Jenny/Katrina baby switch or Marco Dane's murder trial, when Karen Wolek admitted she was a prostitute.

How FREAKY was Allison Perkins just now? Holy crap. So, we have all sorts of secrets:

-Who is Rex's real father?

-What does Allison know that Jessica doesn't?

-How does Addie know Miles?

I LOVE this.

[Khan]

I admit, this does present interesting possibilities. And with Gary Tomlin as acting HW? This could play out well, too.

[MichaelGL]

I LOVE how the show has so many secrets waiting to be exposed these days. I can hardly keep track of them.

How does Addie know Miles?

[EricMontreal22]

Is Tomlin acting HW??

[Vee]

He is for the duration of the strike, but the non-Carlivati team work isn't supposed to be onscreen until mid-February.

[chrishntr]

I know something, you don't know.

I LOVE Allison!!!

Crazy secrets all over Llanview right now, it is amazing to think they are all connected in one way or another. It just baffles my mind how well this was planned out by headwriter, RC!

Other secrets floating around right now:

-Jared's & Charlie's connection with Pamela?

-Is Rex the father of Gigi's son Shane?

-What is Roxy hiding?

-Jared keeping his secret from Natalie?

-RJ keeping Lindsay's secret, what else is Lindsay hiding?

THE GREATEST PART ABOUT IT ALL, what secrets will be revealed during the "Go Red Gala"???

According to SPOILERS:

In my wildest dreams...

Charlie. He and Roxy were probably drunk when they conceived Rex. When she learned she was pregnant, and that Walter was not the baby's father, she decided to give him to Corinne to raise. Therefore, Rex and Jared are half-brothers.

(Okay, checking SOW and...that's actually happened, which shocks me, to be honest. I don't know whether I'm as brilliant as Ron Carlivati, or whether he's as idiotic as I am.)

Either, 1) Jessica is not Mitch's daughter; or 2) Mitch, and not David - or Jared, or anyone else - is, or was, the missing Buchanan son. Therefore, Jessica is still not Clint's (biological) daughter, but she is a Buchanan again.

They're from the same institution and...something else.

I think Monday's ep answered that question. Pamela is Charlie's sister, and therefore, Jared and Rex's aunt. At least, that's how things appear to be.

I think it's obvious he is.

That, despite what we've been told or led to believe, Lindsay, in fact, did not kill Spencer Truman...and that Miles did...and that Addie knows that Miles did.

[Toups]

That was hilarious! LOL Can someone give me a brief history lesson on Allison?

I'm wondering about these questions too. Ron is definitely setting up his next storylines.

[Dale]

I totally agree. How awesome is it that so many characters are players in different stories? Some stories are connected with solid lines, and some with dotted lines. So, when something happens to one characters another is affected, and then another, and so on. Brilliant!!!!!

The timing of this strike sucks for OLTL, RC and the viewers who are finally being treated to some smart soap opera.

[Toups]

Word!! OLTL is on a roll right now. I'm doubtful that Tomlin will be able to keep the show as tight as it is right now.

Allison Perkins was, back in the eighties, one of evil Mitch Laurence's evil assistants and part of some cult he led or something like that. She kidnapped baby Jessica in 1986 shortly after her birth and she was dressed up as Niki Smith, Viki's crazy alter, to make Clint and Viki think Niki was back or something to that manner(also it was later revealed she kidnapped both Jessica and Natalie) and gave Natalie to Walter Balsom(Roxy's husband who delivered Jessica and Natalie) and then returned Jessica. However in 1986, the Natalie part wasn't known about onscreen.

Allison returned in like 2001 or 2002 when the Jessica/Natalie stuff was revealed, and Allison was outed. After she was apart of all of that drama, and some encounters with a very pissed Niki Smith( ), she was sent to St.Ann's.

I think thats it, although I might be missing some minorish stuff.

[Toups]

Ah...okay. I get the gist of it. Thank you!! Ron is definitely setting some big events and revelations.
