Carlivait's done it again! Another Friday cliffhanger!

Glad you started watching OLTL again. :)

Nah, we're sticking with the weekly thread. It's more organized. ;) You AMC'ers can have your daily threads. :P

Another great episode! Definitely a few miles ahead of yesterday's somewhat dull hour.

Adriana makes me sick when she's with Rex. It used to be that whenever she and Rex were near Gigi, she'd get all affectionate with Rex and be all show-offy, but now she's doing it when they're just alone in their apartment. She's acting very...I don't know the word...whatever it is, though, she's really being desperate underneath. I imagine her smothering Rex like nobody's business simply because she's afraid of losing him to Gigi. Of course, I was back to being neutral in the Adriana/Gigi rivalry once she got to Casa Morasco and Bitchy Bangs unmasked herself. Going back to the scenes at the apartment (is it a loft?), naked Rex is always something delicious, even more so than homemade waffles. The thing with David and Rex is that they can spend 75% of their time in nothing but extremely tight undies, yet the audience still views them as much more than a tool.

At Casa Morasco...shirtless Brody isn't all that bad, either! I loved Shane's "greeting" to Uglyana, especially his little defiant, damn-it-to-hell "I'm not sorry, either!" as he stormed out. Gigi's nonchalance about that was also hysterical. I love Gigi and Brody together and honestly, if a Brody/Gigi/Rex triangle proves to be the result of

, I'm all for it. Brody, IMO, has staying power and his backstory has lots of possibilities. Loved him and Gigi taking out the trash that is Uglyana/Evelyn Evil/Bitchy Bangs. Even tho I love BB too!

As for the Manning/Cramer drama, alls I can say is GO! DORIAN! GO!!!!! Her reaction to Blair's interest in Sam was the exact same as mine. Yes, I get that Blair wants to protect the children from Todd's anti-social behavior, but she has to realize that given that Sam is Todd's blood child and not hers, it'd be easier to just hand him over right now. She can fight him in court later. Dorian kicking Todd out...I've been waiting for that for months. So glad he's out of ol' La Boulaie.

The Michael/Marcie scenes were perfectly placed. It was great to see them just being a couple. They were in turmoil for so long, then backburnered for a while, and I love that we're getting little glimpses of them rebuilding their relationship/life. I predict they'll be moving back to the forefront very soon.

Charlie/Viki tore me apart. Kudos to the script writer, for real. When they left us with Charlie saying that he has a secret about his son, I truly expected a DAYS/AMC moment where they come back and he says something like "Yeah...I really like Rex as a son more than I'm letting on, blah blah, he's like the kid I've never had..." and Viki smiles, chuckles, and they go [!@#$%^&*] while watching "Barnaby Jones" or something (offscreen, of course). But nope, he came clean with half of his deception, and that shows how honorable the character is and how smart the writers are. Viki's reaction was amazing, and that shot of her tearing up on the way out to the patio touched me. I could have done without all of the Roxy digs from Adriana and Viki, though! Leave my FoxRox alone!

Awesome episode, great cliffhanger, and I can't wait for Monday!

"Hey Ugliana!" OMG, I about fell out of my chair laughing when Shane used that to address the bitch. Thats going to be my new name for her. Loved him throwing some dark soda all over her white outfit. This kid is reminding me of how Starr was when people messed with her mom. Love him more and more each day

And Gigi gets line of the day "Translation please. I dont speak bitch"

There was not ONE thing about today's show that I did not enjoy. Every single storyline had me tuned in, even Starr Manning.

Viki and Charlie just tore at the ole heart strings. She showed so many emotions when Charlie was trying to come clean about Rex, and I felt for Charlie, he is truly trying to do the right thing and tell her everything. She was tore up with his confession about Rex, I can't imagine how she's going to react to the truth about Jared.

Gigi had me giggling on a few occasions and I love that she's finally giving it back to Adriana. I know I shouldn't be proud of Shane, but damn that kid is funny and I was cheering him on when he spewed that soda on her.

Man Todd is one piece of work, but I do enjoy the character.

Enjoyed the rememberance from Michael and Marcie.

Loved all the cliffhangers, and I cannot wait for next week.

Damn what a good episode. Todd is very close to being past the point of no return. I am AFRAID to see what he does when he finds out Starr is pregnant. Blair, who has long been one of my least favorite characters, is growing into one of my favorite, and Shane is the coolest kid on soaps. Oh, and Brody's hot.

    • And it will also eventually air S2, which will air its finale in Canada this Thursday, May 15th! https://tvline.com/news/law-and-order-toronto-criminal-intent-season-1-2-the-cw-1235449356/ As an American that has managed to watch it in real time, it's very good. Frankly, I think it's the best of the L&O franchise as of now.
    • You are getting like me. It's getting to the point that without any Damian sightings...it's been the fashion that is holding my interest. And it should not be that way at all. 
    • I don't mind Jan either. If anything, they could be using her more to get her daughter's POV. Not to mention her role as one of the Have-Nots.    I also don't mind the local talent. Just look at soaps that were in NY or the shows that film there, they always go for the local talent and we get to find new faves. 
    • I'm not going to watch (because...well...that M-dude...lol) but knowing the history between Henry and Roger, I could see Henry wanting to enable Hart to stay independent of Roger. I could even see it as Henry having the last laugh at Roger. Roger hated "the Henry's" of the world, which basically meant anyone who had money and social prominence. Twice Roger swindled Henry out of a chunk of his fortune, so giving some to Hart, who hates his father, is a form of karma.
    • Ashley and Derek have to go- they really throw off the pace of the show.  Today was the first time I fast-forwarded through their scenes. The writing and acting is just bad for both characters.
    • Jon is stuck in a story that isn't popular but with Cady I feel like the issue is that she was clearly thrown in with no real purpose. I still don't understand why she pops up. I recall early on it being said she owned a spa but we've never seen it. That could've been an interesting location for people to meet. She also could've worked better as Smitty's mom, but instead we get this random agent of Dani's who pops up twice a month? A total waste. I mostly agree. I do feel like Jan could be elevated with a name soap actress, someone like Judi Evans or Kassie DePaiva comes to mind, but they're limited to who is in Atlanta. Keeping that in mind I think the current actress is fine. 
    • It's great to see. My thoughts might be a little different, but for the most part, I am excited and interested in most of the storylines. Yeah, you're right. This is probably how she (Dani) normally acts. And, I do not like it!  I agree; this is another distraction while she heals her wounds. If I weren't an Eva fan, she helped me root for her even more. As I said a month ago, I hope they take their time with her modeling agency. I would love to see her face a few obstacles before becoming a huge success. 
    • I like that there are a lot of local performers on this soap and I'm glad they've resisted so far on hiring too many soap performers.   Cady has been awkward on the show thus far and Jon seems to have polarizing as well. I say focus on the local talent and giving those people a job and exposure.. and leave the P & G soap opera performers in the past.
    • Who do you think would be good for the show among the ATWT/GL cast?
