OLTL: Discussion for the week May 12-16


Recommended Posts

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:

    • 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 

      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?
