I wonder if Gigi realize that if Rex is emotionally cheating on Adriana, he would most likely do the same when he is with Gigi.

It is good to see that Dorian has her daughter's best interest at heart. I wouldn't let my daughter marry someone like Rex either.

I can't wait for them to find Starr and Cole.

I see what you are saying, but keep in mind that there is a history there with Gigi, and Rex is straying emotionally because Adriana's turned into someone very possessive and trouble-making ever since they got engaged. I don't think Rex would just stray without reason.

I am a Gigi fan first so I can't get into her going after an almost married man. It is making her look like a fool to me. Rex should have been honest with Adriana. I am sorry, but doesn't get a pass from me regardless of a reason. If he is thinking about straying, he should have talked to Adriana immediately. I don't think I can ever root for Rex and Gigi at all.

I know. I just read some spoilers for Memorial Day Week, and this Todd stuff hits the fan. I can't wait.

No, Rex has made it known in conversations with Bo and Charlie that he's noticed Adriana turning into someone different. She may not be a bitch in front of him but her attitude has certainly changed during their interactions.

They did the right thing today by having Dorian pay off Brody so Gigi has the opportunity to stop the wedding. In the end, it'll make Adriana look good again for her eventual departure.

I think the main thread of this story is that Adriana's attitude has slowly pushed Rex and Gigi closer. Sure, Gigi has pined for Rex and of course has leftover feelings but I think he was eager to put them past him because of his love for Adriana, but her 180 planted more than a few doubts into his head.

By the way, John-Paul was shafted by the Daytime Emmys. He's the best young actor OLTL has and that they've given him a front and center storyline and he's shined above and beyond should be recognized. It's about time OLTL pulled the trigger with him. His acting with Shane was great today and this comes from a man who cares nothing about soap children. When the day comes that Rex, Gigi, and Shane have their bit of happiness, I think everyone will root for them. They feel like a super couple in the making, which is what I think Ron is angling for.

The rest of the show has been solid (minus the Starr pregnancy thing, just not my thing though I must admit they are approaching it well without an agenda). I even care about Talia and Antonio at this point and I can't wait for them to nail Ramsey only to have Ramsey slink his way out of one situation into another.

OUTSTANDING post, and I agree 100% with everything you said. I love that it's Adriana who will ultimately be responsible for this break-up, I love that there appears to be some LONG-TERM planning in terms of the storytelling, and I also will say the second Rex found Jen's body in that parking garage, my whole take on JPL completely did a 180. I used to think he was an incredibly talented comedic showman. He's not. He is AN ACTOR.

Todays' episode was only okay for me.

The direction of all the LLanview scenes seemed off today. I expected more from Jared/Natalie/David scenes. The bad direction of the Rex/Gigi hospital scenes made it look forced. The same goes for the wedding wedding scenes.

I was all for Rex/Gigi but now that I see how Brody is in love with her I would not mind seeing a triangle between the three.

IMO the best part of today was DORIAN!! Oh no she did not pay Brody to leave town so Gigi would ruin the wedding!! LOVE DORIAN! :lol:

      Thanks. I'm glad they didn't give her a love interest at that time as it would have felt false after Ryder's horrible death.  I can definitely see how Patti would have replaced Liza. Still not sure why they decided to kill off Suzi.

      @Paul Raven thank you. I knew you would have the skinny on sets. So probably more to come.

        As for recast Ted, I saw him briefly because it's been a busy day, but what little I saw of him...I didn't dislike him as much as I thought I would. Keith felt like Maurice's Ted in a lot of mannerisms and way he had with some things/words. Definitely a different presence from Maurice's Ted, but I still feel like Keith WAS Ted. If that makes sense. Maruice's Ted definitely had a different charisma to him. From the brief scene I saw.   Will probably watch later when I get more time. Sounds like it was a great episode from the parts I've glanced on here earlier.  Speak on it.

      Awesome Yep, you can hook up a VHS player to a smart TV. Alternatively, Amazon sells some VHS to Digital converters that you can use to directly connect the VCR's AV cables  to a USB on a laptop or PC. They cost about 20 bucks. Any questions or need help, DM me!

      -- "The role of Ted Richardson is now being played by...." I love that throwback to soaps from yesteryear. I know we don't want BTG to be our grandmother's soap, but sometimes Grandma's soaps had it right. -- I was FULLY prepared to dislike Keith D. Robinson as Ted, and I even went through things in my mind that I could say because I was fine with Maurice Johnson and felt bad for him.     However, Robinson was awfully good, especially for Day 1. He's a different Ted, but he's a good actor -- natural and real. People saying Gates "should have gone older" are head-scratchers since Robinson is older than Johnson. -- I expected Bill to be tougher than he was with Dana, THE worst mother of the year on soaps. -- Kat went toe-to-toe in those scenes with Dana. We're all in love with Ambyr/Eva, but Colby/Kat is also killing it. -- Derek and Ashley? I'm turning on Ashley, who can't even pretend to like Derek, let alone love him. Her annoyance with him is overboard, and I'm also annoyed with the show portraying Derek as a Neanderthal -- to the point of putting "Neanderthal" in his dialogue. Every single thing he does annoys Ashley, which makes me wonder what she ever saw in him. I want him away from her. -- Seeing Derek and Ashley in that bed was hilarious. It looks like a single, not something for two grown adults. -- Ashley and Andre are still a no for me -- a big no. I see no reason why he'd be infatuated with her. None. At least Andre got a smile from her, which she didn't have for Derek, even when he wanted them to get a bigger place. Derek, please dodge the bullet.

      July 2012, Abe organized a gala that was an autism fundraiser in Lexie's honor.  This was the huge event everyone was attending (except Gabi and Melanie in the tunnels).. -- when the gas explosion occurred and the building collapsed.  The "Daysaster" cliffhanger before the Olympics break.

      I think maybe Andre is subconsciously looking for a caretaker/nurturer in his life to replace his parents. That would explain his attraction to both Ashley (nurse) and Dani (older woman/his aunt's sister). I don't see any chemistry between Ashley and Andre though. In fact Andre and Derek had more chemistry in the pasta night episode than either of them have ever had with Ashley.

      My only recollection of Ms Felder in Tom Lissanti's book is that she was not well liked backstage, and nobody was aware of rumors that she was fired because of her looks, including the network executive interviewed for the book.
