I knew the Antonio attitude was just a ruse but I'm glad it was because it's tiring to have to put up with a character I don't like anyway in a storyline that I couldn't care about have the same bad attitude for no reason that he was given so many times by hack writers. Sure, it was predictable that he, John and Talia are working on getting rid of Ramsey but the fun is in how they eventually do it and how Ramsey holds on to power.

I'm sad so much screen time is being eaten up by Starr/Cole/Blair/Todd as well. I'm just not interested in another teenage pregnancy/runaway/vengeful Todd/woeful Blair story but I can't complain because there are some new elements to it all.

OH...MY...GOD!!!

Now THAT is what a soap opera is suppose to be! Simply FABULOUS!

Just too many things to comment on and many of you already expressed them so well. I am glad that I started watching this show because what I saw today was what I was missing on the other soaps I watched. :wub:

Today's script was just flawless. It is very strange how quickly the show has improved! At least Ron doesn't have to worry about being accused of scabbing, lol. I stopped watching, but after monday's show it's back on the DVR! The biggest suprise was how amazing Blair and Dorian were written. I haven't been pleased with Carlivati's Blair, but he got her right today. I hope this continues and that she has her own stories as opposed to being supporting to Todd. Also hope Dorian continues to get truly meaty material. Robin Strasser has been waiting ages and rocks whatever you give her.

Dorian/Langston's dialgoue today.

Dorian: ...... You should have never make such a reckless mistake.......You’re a Cramer now.

Langston: Is this how a Cramer is suppose to act? You know maybe I’m not a Cramer, not anymore.

D: You are my responsibility, Langston.

L: I’m not ready to talk about this. Can we just stop yelling, please.

D: It seems like the only way to get through to you two.

L: It’s too late for that, okay. I mean, is this how a Cramer suppose to handle a situation.

D: A Cramer is not suppose to get into a situation like this in the first place.

L: Please! I mean, I’ve only lived in this house for six months and even I know that Cramer’s are always getting in trouble and besides, I thought the whole point of being a Cramer is that you come running when another Cramer needs you. You have each other’s backs.

Marko: I’ve got her back, and I’m just a Rivera.

D: You’ve got a lot more than just her back and that is the problem.

L: Okay, no. The problem is what we’re going to do now. And the way you just came down on me, I completely understand why Starr ran away.

D: With your help!

L: Yes, with my help! Why should she stay here and get screamed at?

D: That was Todd.

L: Oh okay......Where was Mrs. Manning. You know where the F---- Where the hell was you? Starr needed help and her dad is psycho and you let him lock her up in your own house? But no, who cares about Starr when you have a wedding to plan.

D: I was out of town and I....I.....admit that I....I.....have been some what preoccupied lately.

L: So what......I can’t even get you on the phone.......half the time I don’t even know where you are.

M: It’s true. She’s always trying to find you.

D: You shut up!!!!

L: You know what, as far as I’m concerned Starr and I are the only real Cramer’s left. We take care of each other. Because right now, it seems that being a Cramer means putting up with maniacs like Mr. Manning and if that’s what being a Cramer means, then count me out.

--------------------

New act: Dorian knocks on the door and enters the room.

D: Excuse me.....I need to say something. I want to apologize. I know that my life has gotten very complicated lately......and you’re right. I didn’t intercede on Starr’s behalf and I shouldn’t be allowing Todd to live in this house. But most of all, I’m very sorry that you feel that I wasn’t here for you. And I want you to know, that I’m here now, and you can count on me.

------------------

D: You know if there’s one thing I’ve learned in life is that there is always a solution for any problem. We’re going to handle this situation.....together.

One of the best moments was during the montage, Dorian brushes Langston's hair aside and then puts her hand on Langston's chin, and Langston looks back at Dorian..... Damn, I love this relationship! It's one of the best in daytime right now. So freaking good!! :)

Fantastic stuff.... OLTL is defo the best soap on air right now. I got all teary eyed during the montage. I, too, loved Dorian's support of Langston... How Langston was shocked to realize the motherly love Dorian has for her, yet at the same time feels guilty for lying to her.... Wow. Just wow.

I actually didn't think Tomlin did as bad a job as I expected him to, but am glad to have Ron back (maybe now Addie will come out of the attic?) I missed the first 10 mins tho--they now are titling every episode? that seems, for a daily soap, kinda... dumb... But different I guess :P (Why was today's called Nana...)

Like that Natalie knows the truth about Charlie

Really enjoyed the Viki and Gigi scenes...Farah was really good in the scene, where Gigi said she felt like she wasn't alone in having those loving feelings. Also liked the Rex and Charlie scene

Jared in nothing but a sheet *fans self*

    • It was all about Gio today, boys 

      Please register in order to view this content

      He was really sweet and dorky though, and I enjoyed the violin lol. And he looked good too  I'm speculating that the big reveal will happen at Gio's birthday party. It's definitely time. But yeah, he really should've gotten advice and encouragement from someone, from anyone other than Sonny though. And while I understand where Dante is coming from, he was a little annoying today again. They really needed to establish this tension and anger a lot sooner than now, or not do it at all. Plus, this had already been done with Mac/Cody, Nina/Willow, etc., and honestly, it doesn't seem necessary here.  As for Lucky and Liz, as much as I like angsty couples, I'm still concerned about what Frank may (or may try) to do with them. The biggest reason why Lucky is like a 'cowboy' is because this friggin guy spent the better part of a decade basically erasing him from existence.
    • True, lol. IIRC, Rita Moreno said in an interview that part of the problem was that Susan Harris was ill during the week they taped that episode and therefore was unable to make needed script changes.  I wonder what might have happened had they been able to delay the taping until she felt well enough to work more on the script.  I feel like "Nest" might've sold with Moreno and Paul Dooley (although the patient with DID would've needed to be eighty-sixed regardless, lol).
    • What is the most recent episode in which Maurice Johnson's Ted wore a turtleneck?
    • They had a Liam/Hope montage today supposedly about all their times together but it was only Annika's Hope and no scenes from Kim Matula's Hope.  I realize they probably didn't want to restage those scenes with Annika. But still it was weird to omit the Italian wedding.  They could have thrown in a Puglia scenery pic without the actors.
    • I haven't watched today's episode yet, but maybe that was the point. Maybe they're trying to move Ted in a more unlikable/villain direction and it wouldn't work with the previous actor. Or maybe it's just that transition phase which will take some getting used to. 
    • Thanks to the benefits of watching the last weeks of Sherry's stint as Liza and the start of Louan's stint as Liza... I can safely say that Liza would have remained the lead heroine had Sherry stayed on as Liza.   Charisma is a mighty important element that makes someone watchable and likable... and Sherry had that. No disrepect for Louan because she was a good actress.. but to me, she played a more passive/neurotic Liza vs the more confident/decisive version of Liza.  I think the Liza vs Estelle over TR story would have had more impact with Sherry in the role..imho.
    • Welcome @SoapCurios it is nice to see new people here. Many episodes from The City still aren't available, but if I find any that touch on Azure's story, I will post them.
    • I'm not invested in Ted as a character anymore either. He's not the same.
    • I have a feeling it was either coincidence or it was an idea whose time had come. Remember Bill Bell was also into the psycho-sexual. So it was happening more than one place. Pete Lemay began disagreeing with Irna quite early on. He shut up & listened at first, naturally because he had to learn the basics. But, as soon as he had, they began to have arguments, disagreements. They both were devotees of character-driven but the similarities stopped pretty quickly. Bolin as far as AW was concerned was nuts & bolts, or more $$$. It was all about the numbers. And the numbers were great, double the ad revenue & that went to the network. As far HTSAM was concerned, that was her baby, no one else's. It is so funny to me that Lemay started this by accident.
