OLTL: Discussion for the week May 12-16


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I just love OLTL these days!!! I started watching again after several years and Asa's funeral was my first official episode back. I guess this says a lot... lol

I was horrifed with the show's dramatic change during the strike. I felt I was watching a very bad episode of mid-eighties Search For Tomorrow. Boring. No Feeling. No Community. No Surprise. No meaning.

And then RC came back... And so did we! Please, don't ever scare us like that... This is the best soap opera I've seen in ages! (ATWT is the second best show right now, but that's another story)

How cuter can Rex get? I love Gigi, her friendship with Viki, Viki's relationship with Charlie, Charlie with Jared and Rex... I could go on forever. I adore Todd Manning, his relationship with Blair, her relationship with the Cramer girls. When I watch OLTL I am not only interested in the story, but in the general feeling of the show as well..

Only one thing: please this wonderful show the opening it deserves. There is no reason for OLTL to have the same opening with GH and AMC.

I was disagreeing with Ryan, so I was being polite.

Why? You've got a problem with apologies, Sylph? :P

(KIDDING! KIDDING! I know how these things start.)

So I was letting Ryan know there were no hard feelings since we had a difference of opinion. I don't know. Just being nice. LEAVE ME ALONE!!! :D

Love Addie, was worried she'd been forgotten but I guess it was just Ron's absence.

My only real gripe right now? I still HATE the titles. Yes I'm sure the writers have fun with it, sure it's cute, sure it makes NO big difference and I shoudlnt' complain but... I dunno having these LAME "pun" titles for every episode are almost insulting to me. A serious daytime drama havign a title of "Uncle-cest is best"?? At best I just ask why, at worse I have to wonder why my grandma is now wondering why incest is best is an expression she should know...

I would go back even further. The last time the majority of DAYS (here at SON) was positive was during Brash/Cwikly's tenure. They had the trifecta going with (1) happy fans, (2) good ratings, (3) critical success......yet they were demoted for Dena freakin Higley. :blink:

Anyway, back to OLTL! LOL

It sure was, but I liked it.

Yeah, her scenes with Addie were my favorites from today's ep. After seeing her as just a bitch for these past couple of months, it was really nice to see this different side her. It was a just a simple scene with her sitting down with her aunt, eating ice cream, and talking about her feelings.

Now that David has seen Nat and Jared, I wonder if he will talk about how he pretended to be the Lord heir, and fell for his "sister" Tina, since pretty much that story is repeating itself here with Nat and Jared. It would be a nice nod to history and with Tina coming back, it should make for some interesting scenes

Did they deSORAS Bree? I swear before she was a toddler, like 3 years old, but the girl that was on today looked significantly younger

    • Lol, I enjoy classical music and I really think Gio is a talented musician.  I just don't know if it's the soundstage they are filming it on or what, but it sounds so screechy on TV.  I don't recall all his performances sounding like that. Rocco-"this was all my fault not Gio's or even Danny's.  No one made me drink.  I am being accountable". Dante-"Nope still 100% GIO's FAULT!!!" Just shut it Dante! Alexis and Lucky deserve more than having to protect Kristina's crazy butt. I like Cody and Lulu teaming up.  Finally someone is agreeing with Lulu.  
    • After watching the performances tonight I can't understand why Finland and Malta are seen as some of the favourites. Finland's song is not one of the best this year and I maintain that Miriana Conte who represents Malta is a poor singer. My guess is that it's because of the controversial nature of both these songs. I'm not all that impressed with Austria either. But France on the other hand emerged as a big contender tonight. A beautiful song, a wonderful singer and fantastic staging. Greece also had a spectacular stage show which definitely enhanced their chances. I guess it's part nostalgia factor but I really want Luxembourg to go through to the final as well. I love the homage to France Gall and Laura Thorn sold the song very well. Much better than in the clip from the national final.
    • The older Ted was more unlikeable. The character came across warmer and mo sympathetic today whereas the older one portrayed him with a dark side. Thats why I said his scenes with Leslie will tell alot bc thats where he comes across the most like a villain and had me feeling bad for her at times
    • I completely agree @Soaplovers with your excellent comment.  And the bold, confident Stephanie we saw in her previous incarnations would be a much better match for Alex than the one trying to play house too soon. Let’s not forget: Alex came on the scene as a walking red flag with a gym membership—dodging commitment in love and work. And now he’s out here giving career advice? From a man whose last job was playing a soap star no one in Salem has even heard of? Sir. What I’d love is for Stephanie to be a genuine challenge for him—not someone who bends to his charm, but someone who knows she’s the prize. She’s a free agent in Salem: no ex-husband drama, no kid in tow, no awkward family entanglements. Let her be more like Kayla now—centered, respected, and not here for games—than Kayla was when she was falling off motorcycles with Steve. The next great Salem love story shouldn't be about chemistry alone. It should be earned—like Patch and Kayla, Shane and Kim, or even Bo and Hope on their best days. Give us slow burn, mutual respect, and a Stephanie who makes him level up.
    • It's looking like I may be in the minority, but nuTed is a major improvement to me. I agree, it will take a few days to get used to the higher pitched voice and smaller stature, but his acting is so much better. I can feel the emotions in his voice and face and it just feels more real and natural.  Kat was great today too, giving us the tears and her softer side. Loved Leslie/Bill - we need more of this!  Did y'all notice Leslie's snake necklace?? So creepy, but fitting for her haha. Tomorrow should be an updated intro with Keith, unless they repeat the second one for days until they get it updated.
    • Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! ✌

    • It was all about Gio today, boys

      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?
