My weekly drive-by...

Lots of humour and I love it.

Rex was a riot today; David as well; but there's also so much built into Adrianna now, and Gigi, and even Natalie & Jared. Plus I laughed my ass of at poor Marko on that hook. Cole or John on the hook would have had me peeing my pants. And there are many other reasons to chuckle and I don't only mean that bare bum pic of JPL. Normal everyday ironies are all over the place.

Lots of character motivation.

It is taking me a long time to warm up to Gigi but her scenes with Viki and Marcie are damn close to winning me over. Loving that uberbitch Evelyn Evil Adrianna. Love how Dorian's created yet another monster that is way out of her control... and has none of her finesse. I can't believe I'm saying this but I will miss Adrianna when she is gone.

And LANGSTON! WOW! Dorian and Langston together = brilliant! Blair and Langston together = brilliant! Todd and Langston together = brilliant!

Robin Strasser really hit it out of the park this week.

And then there is Brody Lovett's chest :P

Aside from Brandon Buddy and the continued effort to beatify John McBain, I have no complaints. Please no Blair and John. KDP has more than earned her way out of that no win situation.

Any complaints I've had about the teens have been capably handled by Brittany Underwood, David Tam, and as of today, Kristen Alderson. KA's scenes today were top notch. Brandon Buddy barely said a word today - GOOD.

And Melissa Archer - damn I hated her for so long, now she's a breath of fresh air.

I see great things for this show. *fingers crossed*

Can't wait for tomorrow and next week.

I really love Viki/Gigi & Marcie/Gigi's friendship. It comes off so natural(real) and is really fun to watch. FF is doing a great job in this role.

It was great seeing David Vickers again, what the heck happened to his pants? lol I loved his comment about shutting up about the pie talk because that is what all the viewers were saying for a long time. *Writers reading the boards* :P

Finally Dorian told Adriana off but also loved how Adriana threw her rivalry with Viki in her face.

Poor Rex was so druuuuuuunk, went there looking for Gigi, and ending up stripping. I LMAO when he called out "What's my name!?" Then all the women ran to see Snoop Dogg :lol:

1) I LOVE JPL! He is a breathe of fresh air from your regular "soap leads" as of late. They've done a great job transitioning him from supporting to a semi-lead character. I'm writing a column on him this weekend. IMO, this is how it should be done. And umm......I'm totally making a banner of Rex & the pole :wub:

2) Farah Fath is so beautiful. I've always thought she was attractive, but it wasn't until NOW that I find her beautiful. I love the dark color of her hair, it brings out her eyes. She's turning into a very good actress, and much of that I think is because of the good writing and she's putting great effort forward.

3) Jarlie is love. It's true. I went from loving Natalie, to hating her, to wishing dead, to now loving her (THANK YOU RON CARLIVATI). Natalie and John was the WORST thing to happen to that show. It totally ruined her character and turned her into a weeping mess. Jared has been her "lifeline" so to speak (as far as getting her away from John) and I love it. I really enjoy them as a couple.

4) Todd......in the hands of a lesser actor, he would be a one note cartoon character (not everyone can play the multi-layers given to Todd in the writing).

ITA w/ #1. The whole time, I was like, "LICK THE POLE!! LICK THE POLE!" LOL

ITA w/ #3 too. I was always irritated by Melissa Archer's delivery. And even though she played conflicted during the Natalie/John storyline, she's sooo much better at it now. It's kinda crazy how well the writers are writing for this couple because, in the whole scheme of things, Jared is VERY slimy for what he did and so is Natalie for not saying anything.

AND #4... <sigh> The day Roger Howarth left and the writers came up with the lame storyline that Todd had plastic surgery was one of the best days in OLTL history. Trevor is AMAZING. I cannot wait until he finds out Starr is pregnant!!!!!!

Thank you, SON, for clueing me in on OLTL. I started taping last Friday and I haven't regretted my decision once.

P.s.: Co-sign on the JPL striptease. That was Office-worthy comedy right there. And Trevor St. John is playing so many emotions with a flick of his eye or hiss in his voice... amazing.

By the way, I really like the Snoop OLTL song. It's the opening shots that look cheap-ass and badly produced. They need to sharpen those up and speed up/slow down their pace in time to the song's rhthym.

Gawd it's a pleasure to watch OLTL these days.

I UBER loved OLTL yesterday. The opening was nice, and yesterday's episode had SO MUCH in it, I couldn't believe they had fit all that in a hour.

From the previews Snoop knows Bo? LMAO!!!

Oh, and P.S.: Guiding Light. Check out OLTL's exterior shots over the past five shows. THAT is how you incorporate exterior shooting into your show and make it look like Primetime.

      I'm not invested in Ted as a character anymore either. He's not the same.

      Another World Discussion Thread

      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.

      What did you all think of Hogan/Patti compared to the stuff with Liza and Sonny? Did you buy anything about Sonny and Bela? Has a recast ever decentralized a character as much as Sherry's exit did with Liza? Or do you think that would have happened even if Sherry had stayed?

          I think the three comments pretty much summarize my thoughts. The green is not pleasant. I think I know where they were going with it, but it doesn't translate on screen.  The bar at Uptown is actually pretty good. It's my favorite part. I totally get it having an East Coast vibe. I used to frequent a place like it and while I wouldn't necessarily call it pretty...it was a bit Kitsch but it had a vibe. This place is lacking the vibe. I know it's not easy to hire extras, but even having a karaoke night in the background or live music would change the whole feel.  Vernon and Anita having breakfast there was a great idea. Another place besides the country club where they could talk. However, why were they using country club china at an establishment like Uptown. It just seems a bit confused. I don't understand what it's supposed to be.

      Add me to the list of people who like Tanisha Harper as Jordan I never understood any of the criticism of her, to be honest. She's gorgeous and she's solid in her role. Sounds like a soap staple to me.

      Thanks for the walk down Memory Lane!   (Can you imagine what the synopsis for 2024/2025 will look like 50 years from now?  It'll basically just be a flowchart of who was the CEO of which unseen corporation, lol.)
