Members chrishntr Posted January 25, 2008 Members Share Posted January 25, 2008 Oh gosh, all of these sounds SO good. I can't wait to see all of this unfold. Thanks, Scotty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted January 25, 2008 Members Share Posted January 25, 2008 Wow. Sounds like an amazing week ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gordon24 Posted January 26, 2008 Members Share Posted January 26, 2008 OLTL is definately preparing for SWEEPS, it is heating up and will be on FIRE come February!! IMO, the best part about it all is the intertwining of characters and storylines. Great balance! Just look at the number of characters mentioned in the preview for the week: AMAZING!! Allison Perkins Jessica Nash Jared Natalie Charlie Viki Aunt Corrine Rex Addie Miles Nora Bo Starr Langston Cole Gigi Adrianna Shane Roxy Lindsay Blair Antonio Talia Dorian Renee Clint Todd Sam Marcie Michael John Ramsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted January 26, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 26, 2008 ^^That's a pretty impressive list. And throw in Sam, St. Ann doctors and nuns, and maybe Margaret (if they start Monday with Friday's scene where Blair was yelling at her), and it really is amazing just how many characters will be in next week's episodes. We would have never seen this much of the cast at one time when DH was in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gordon24 Posted January 27, 2008 Members Share Posted January 27, 2008 Really? I was not a viewer during the DH years but happy to be a OLTL viewer now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 27, 2008 Members Share Posted January 27, 2008 Yes, really. These days, it feels good not to see Michael Easton's face every time I flip over to OLTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted January 27, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 27, 2008 Oh yes....it was a nightmare under Dena Higley. Half the cast was virtually ignored, while many of the rest were repeatedly overexposed. We would have never seen this much of Nora, Lindsay, Marcie, Michael, Nigel, Addie, Viki, Clint, RJ, and many of the rest if Higley were still in control. It's nice to see more balanced airtime now.

Members AddictedToSoaps Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 Wow, there are a lot of names mentioned. Balance is such a rare thing these days! Looks like another great week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 OLTL has a pretty big cast, and yet uses them accurately. Makes one wonder about how the show is financially tho. Unlike AMC, DAYS, and ATWT, I don't think OLTL has had the kind of mass excodus those other soaps have been having despite the size of their cast.

Members Gordon24 Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 I too was wondering about the financial status of OLTL as other shows continue cutting cast members. Adriana will be exiting but it was planned before the strike. There are supposed to be a couple of exits from rumors we hear but those too are expected exits & we should be recieving 3 returns. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gordon24 Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 I know as of Friday many are speculating about the possibility of Mitch being Rex' father but is anyone beside me think it will be Bo? Rex has always been close to Bo and now in the above spoiler, "Rex seeks advice from Bo". Maybe? Possibly? Far fetched? lol Here are more spoilers for this week for inquiring minds http://soapzone.com/newsroom.php/oltl/scoops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 Well, they did say Allison knows a secret that would rock Jessica's family. Biologically speaking, Jess is a Laurence ... but she's always thought of the Buchanans as family. Question is, wouldn't Bo have remembered having a ONS w/ Roxy?

Members asa Posted January 29, 2008 Members Share Posted January 29, 2008 OLTL has been doing a solid job of juggling actors and storylines, intermingling them, but not killing a character's impression or a storyline's flow. I almost expect OLTL to start leaving behind some of the trademark 'daytime' soap cliches and heading into more mainstream 'prime time' soap territory--which is something daytime dramas should have done 10 years ago. My only negative thought is if they put Gigi and John together. Fath has proven that her acting (or lackthereof) on Days was due to her poorly written character. I think she's solid so far as Gigi and I've become a fan of hers and even of her having a child (something I wasn't keen on when she debuted). The only 'bad' actor of the bunch is Easton and even now they're playing to his strengths and minimizing his weaknesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gordon24 Posted January 30, 2008 Members Share Posted January 30, 2008 ^^^^WORD! My biggest fear is a John and Gigi pairing but so far I see no romantic chemistry but plenty of it between Farah Fath and JPL. I am set on go for Rex and Gigi and look forward to their scenes together. Promo for this weeks OLTL!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bi8Zvrvng7U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
