Welcome_to_Llanview.jpg
Welcome to the One Life to Live Discussion Thread for the week of February 18th, 2008. It looks like another exciting week coming up, as the Go Red Ball is in full swing. 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...

Does any other fan of all things Llanview get the feeling that just MAYBE the big secret Alison has is that........ Miles IS actually Mitch Laurence with plastic surgery? and that perhaps he is Rex's natural father?

I realise that this is quite the stretch as we already saw Roxy & Mitch interact in 2003 but I still kinda wonder. This reveal would explain better a few story points. Plus, it could easily be explained that Spencer Truman was Mitch's doctor & that together, they made up the whole Miles Laurence persona----

Afterall, how hard has Jessica or Natalie ever really tried to look deep into Miles' past? There could be a lot of secrets there.

Regardless, I just had to ask... and may One Life To Live keep Alison Perkins alive & 'unwell' no matter what! :D

Never thought about Miles being Mitch in disguise.

I am convinced, though, Rex and Natalie are Mitch's kids. Just as I'm convinced Jared is actually Asa's grandson. That way, Jared can finally be a Buchanan, and he can finally go full-steam-ahead with pursuing Nat, too.

It was so wierd when I was flipping through the channels while ATWT was on commerical to find Hunt Block on OLTL. He's such a great actor and to me will always be the Craig Mongomery that I know. I guess another soap's loss is one other's show gain.

I liked the short little cat fight struggle between Lindsay and Nora.

That really was great and with everyone watching on the cameras as it happened. My guess is there is another ledge there or something for them to hold on to because both Jared and Allison went head first. Also did Jared or Allison get shot, I couldn't really here the shot?

Ramsey is a crazy son of a bitch but he is right there are many criminals walking around in Llanview but then again he is also one! :lol:

Lindsay tackling Nora just as she read Jared's secret, then Lindsay swallowing hers was hillarious :lol:

Natalie and Jared convo was great, poor Natalie. Jared really does want to tell her the truth but is conflicted.

Eww Natalie can't be Mitch's daughter. She married Mitch and he tried to rape her. Gag!! I don't think Allison's secret has anything to do with Natalie (at least not directly). For whatever reason Allison is messing with Jessica's head. Jessica may end up being revealed as Clint's daughter, and if so, that's okay, but I want this secret that Allison knows to be HUGE. Jessie being Clint's daughter isn't huge IMO.

Ok just rewatched on Soapnet, the gun did go off and did anyone catch that Nora did in fact read Jared's secret he wrote about not being a Buchannan?? :o

She had just said WOAH when she read it and then Lindsay tackled her and it flew in the air and landed back in the pile. The camera picked it up as that was the secret Nora had just read!

That was a good line. I also laughed when Blair and Todd gave the SHOCKED look when Ramsey was trying to threaten Todd.

Nora seriously needs to get a life already. I cant stand her

Does it really matter. The show doesnt play up Jessica's connection to Mitch as he's not even here for that and for all intents and purposes she is Clint's daughter. He adopted her and nothing has changed in their relationship or how people view them. Revealing now that she is Clint's daughter would be very weak and wouldnt change anything at all

But, it'll be very important once it's revealed that Charlie is Asa's son - which, by the way, is only what I suspect will happen. Unless, RC's like David Kreizman and he doesn't see anything wrong with cousins mating.

      One of the dumbest situations (Lando) ever. What audience member is going to invest in a storyline with a recast they don't like and a triangle where one character is short-term? It bombed as it should have done. So much of JFP's tenure just reeks of desperation. I don't get how someone could produce SB (which did have flaws but was often brilliant) but make so many terrible mistakes at GL.   I still think JFP would have worked better as a director and music supervisor. Her music work at SB was top notch.

      We see the same with GH, where Mark Teschner, the casting director, reportedly has less say since Frank Valentini took over. Some producers want to take over every aspect of their shows.  I think Lando may have been a CBS push.

      No idea but she won Emmys & she was the Casting Director at the same time for both ATWT & GL. She hired Lisa Brown with no job for her. Then Marland made Brown his muse so he created both Iva & Nola for her. But, I think we know that Jill does what Jill wants.

      I did notice a decline in the quality of the performers being cast once Betty R vacated/retired from her position. We would have been spared from the nightmares of some of the castings that dominated the show in the last decade or so of the soap. JFP was an example of someone, no matter the gender, who had no business being in the position they were in.

      If Betty Rea was the casting director, why was so much of GL during JFP's reign cast by her? Walker, Deas, Crampton, Lando, etc. JFP takes credit for Dusay as well. What is the point of having a casting director, if you don't let her do her job? What happened when Rea left?

      So much on here slips my mind but this is the first I remember hearing of Peterson's passing. Very sad. Nell was a thankless role, clearly set up for a cheating storyline with Frank, but Peterson did her best.  Betty Rea Rea was the casting director for the soap opera “Guiding Light” from 1970 to 1996 and simultaneously the casting director for “As the World Turns” from 1979 to 1983.

      Sorry, just one more post on the Thorntons. How did Ruth and Edna feel about each other prior to Tad dating Dotty?

      I can't remember exactly but I think it may be 1995 as Jake was trying to hide from a loan shark.
