The Best Show in Daytime. That's all that needs to be said right there. Talk about root-able couples. In May during the height of sweeps, this show had Jared and Natalie make love for the first time, Antonio and Talia reconnected after a faux breakout. There's family drama with The Mannings. Vets are all over the show, involved in major story lines and everyones seems to be getting screen time. They even found a realistic logical reason for one of their characters to be on a stripper pole. Go Rex!!! There's a wedding coming up that people actually want to see what's going to happen along with a viable believable triangle story. There are plenty of secrets being kept that makes good story telling rather than secrets that make no sense what so ever!!! The consequences of these coming out one day will be good, must see TV. Imagine all of that, PLUS Snoop Dogg and David Vickers!!!

I'm loving this show and am happy that other people are loving it too. I hope the ratings increase.

I'm trying to get my mom to start watching. We shall see if she asks if I recorded it(yeah I watch live and record lol) tomorrow. We did have a little OLTL chat yesterday so I think my master plan is working. LOL

The wedding stuff should be awesome!

Sometimes I think it's a little sad that Adrianna is on her way out. She, Gigi and Rex make a great soap triangle that could last for years. At first I was bored to death with this character during her faux-Cassie era. Gary Tomlin's Adrianna Carrington Colby Dexter I couldn't stand. But this girl who doesn't want to lose her man I enjoy watching. And I am a Gigi fan! Lol

Cole and Starr act like spoiled brats. Pregnant Starr and all this airtime to the "star-crossed teen couple" was way too boring for me. When I marrry Todd the first thing I am going to do is to send Starr to a private school in Mendorra. Or in Eterna. Or even in the Old West.

I am furious that I never got to see the REAL secrets exposed! What was Miles's secret? What was Alison's? Who is Rex's father?

If Brody is actually C.J. Roberts as many people believe, then Brody's mother who lied to Gigi about her son dying was TINA??? I doupt that.

I can't wait for Monday's episode!

Big YES here. Just as suddenly as Adriana got her bitchy bangs, she shortly afterward grew in dimension. I believe I said earlier that I selfishly hope Melissa Gallo Fumero returns. OLTL could use a character like her - like the original conception of Rachel from AW or young Erica from AMC; a character who is capable of love but always hurts the ones she loves most (her mother, her men, untimately her children). Now I am not saying MGF is of that calibre.. .YET.

I don't mind the Starr and Cole story all that much. I was surprisingly impressed by Brandon Buddy's take on the whole thing on The View.

As for the other secrets... who knows? The Alison one bugs me the most.

I don't think Brody is CJ. However, Brody might know CJ.

I'm loving OLTL more and more, but I just feel after the good Langston and Markko this week, they are going to go back to playing second fiddle to Starr and Cole.

they've got such a good thing with those two characters, and Ron brought them back to perfect form this last week, I don't want them back burned again...

L&M are so original and different for soaps it just works. With Ron writing them both characters have their edge back and the pairing has their own edge back, and it's rocks. But it just seems like they are headed to play second fiddle to this baby stuff.

    • Today's show was good. The only part I didn't care for were the Derek/Ashley scenes. I think they are bland together and Derek is very bland by himself. He is the least interesting character on the show IMO. I don't think they have much chemistry together. I appreciated Jan's reaction to Leslie. I like how regular/realistic her and Mona are as characters. Jan came across as very believable of being appalled and even hurt by Leslie's treatment of them and towards Eva in the diner.  Leslie continues to try and manipulate people with IMO her fake caring routine, only to show her true colors after she's confronted/called out for her treatment of others. I continue to dislike the way she mistreats Eva. Speaking of Eva she was great again today. I love her and I like how Martin comforted her in the diner. I liked that Vernon showed concern for her as well. They especially Martin will come around quicker to her before others like the Dupree women will. I also am glad to see her and Ted continue to bond and him behaving like a father towards her/helping her. He's the only one in her life who is fully trying to stand by her. I look forward to seeing their relationship grow.
    • Xander was screaming at Felicity.  He did do something wrong.  Felicity was clearly upset by it and Cat/Chad told him to stop.  That's fair.  No one deserves to be yelled at their job-and even I think this plot point is too preachy.  It's not acceptable behavior for anyone to do that.   
    • When Derek finally appears with only a towel, and his chest and pecs/nipples are finally shown, I say yes.

    • Now, actually not. That thought had not even made it into my head, so, no, so far anyway, I've not seen that. Haven't seen today yet. What you're describing is warped & I think she's feeling genuine empathy & sister bond. 
    • Xander was the bigger person apologizing to Cat when he didn't do anything wrong.  he wasn't yelling at Felicity whatsoever, he was asking if she possibly had given them the wrong order by mistake.  He was trying to get to the bottom of what was going on, but Chad/Cat were trying to white knight Felicity even though Felicity was being treated just like anyone else in that situation.   She was the one to bring the order out to them, and usually the person that brings the order out is the one that puts the order together.    I'm still getting a read on the Cat character.   I think she seems to work well when interacting with everyone other than Chad.   Perhaps the new writers can move Cat out of Chad's orbit into another orbit. Paulina has been written quite well the few times she's been on since the writer change.  I think Jackee is enjoying the new writing.. you can tell when she's on screen.  
    • LOL - well, Peter was included in the grandkids' section, each named specifically with their $100K trusts.  It must have been the abs...

        In Henry's will, he said it had to do with Hart having a chance at being a better person than his father, since his father isn't providing for him (I'm paraphrasing here, but it was about Roger).  Still a little surprised...
    • I'm glad the truth is all out regarding Roman and Kate's secrets from each other, and also happy Roman didn't make much of the letter forgery, because why would he even care? They are a good solid couple. However, not to be mean, when Roman had his little flashback at the DiMera mansion he seemed more like an old man that was lost. How wonderfully aggravating that we still don't know what the hell happened with Johnny the night EJ was shot. I can't wait to find out. I've my feelings clear on Paulina, but she was definitely written much more adult and Jackée even seemed a bit toned down, for the better. Nothing boring about either scenes for me. I like the little drama between Xander and Cat, for the newness of the interaction alone. AnnaLynne McCord is much better at material where she's not acting dementedly lovesick. Seeing that side to Cat was integral to remembering she's not a moron, and I am definitely intrigued by the heck could be calling her. Kevin Lambert returning is a cute little surprise. I never watched Chadwick Hopson in the role though, was he any good?

    • I would love if Sarah were already pregnant and then, even with the reveal that she knew about the letter, that she and Xander would work on things to keep their family intact. But I fear that time is running out. Whatever Philip is doing is probably going to mess up everything. I do like that Kayla and Sarah mentioned the Horton legacy with the hospital and that Kayla would much prefer Xander financing it over EJ. Xander is suddenly Horton adjacent. Belle is as usual a massive hypocrite whining about 'everything' Xander has done to her family when EJ raped her sister, kept her cancer ridden toddler from her, helped Nicole keep the baby she had stolen from Sami for a year, shot her dad in the head, and as recently as last year railroaded her innocent teen nephew into prison where he was beaten up. Sure, Xander shot Brady and Marlena but both of them seem to be over it. Cat should have just graciously accepted Xander's apology. I actually like that he treated Felicity like anybody else and did not coddle her. I hope we see him apologizing though. I wonder if Cat knows that Xander shot their granddad Kon dead last year? She might like him better if she knew. I wonder who is calling her? My money is on Gwen for some reason. I feel like Cat and Chad will get comfy and then we will find out Abby is out there and Gwen has had her. EJ and Cat were far more palatable than Chad and Cat, but EJ makes everybody easier to tolerate. Roman and Kate vs Johnny and Paulina... not sure which were more boring. I guess I'll go with Roman and Kate because he speaks so darn slowly now. Philip is entertaining the heck out of me. I hope he ends up the hero who saves Bo. I think it would be hysterical if he managed to get his hands on the Versovix and EJ ends up buying a useless money pit of a hospital.
    • I just start to laugh thinking about the interview where Leslie related its being Tom Donovan who talked her into doing GH & then, once she was settled in & looked around for him, he had JUST vanished!!
