It was both melodramatic and totally real at the same time. It was quite an astute acting choice on Fath's part. And Lord knows I was never a fan of hers on Days.

Brody looked like he was trying out for An Officer and a Gentleman. Not that I'm complaining. And JarJar & David are SO a supercouple waiting to happen.

The whole show rocked. Rex and Adriana's wedding dance was so bittersweet, as was Gigi's slow, painful walk upstairs. Trapped by her secrets.

OK, the show has been so good these past few weeks that I'm starting to get worried about any backlash. :lol:

I am so glad people agree that David and Jared are *hot* together. They're hotter than a certain Oakdale male/male couple, which is sad because David and Jared are as far away from in love as you can possibly get. I loved Jared and Nigel being all awkward in their quest to hide David from Nora and Clint. I got a major "Three's Company" vibe from that whole thing lol.

Todd...ugh. I hated when he came into Starr's room all smiles and cheese, calling himself "Dr. Manning." It's like...ugh...I don't know. He's the center of his world. When he's upset, he expects everyone to bow down to him. When he gets over things, he just expects everyone else to get over it too. He doesn't realize that just because he's "forgiven" Starr for running away, she and Blair won't just forgive him for throwing her down the stairs, and all the other crap he's pulled. He needs an ass whooping.

Some thoughts:

* Jared and Nigel: hilarious

* I loved what they did with the priest's voiceover while Gigi was in the house with Brody and Shane. This Rex-Gigi-Brody-Adrianna-Shane thing is a great storyline.

* Lindsay was stunning.

* Please send Starr to Eterna, Mendorra or the Old West. Blair was a caring mother and they shared some touching scenes... actually Blair shared them with herself. And with John of course. Sorry, but I really hate this teen couple. I was furious at Cole for pushing Todd like that. With two cops holding him it was a perfect chance for Cole to go all Stanley Covalsky on Todd. This boy got his daughter pregnant and then ran away with her while it was obvious that there was no way to support either Starr or their baby. BTW Todd is very HOT and I still don't get why Blair had him arrested. It was a very dramatic scene but it made no sence to me.

* Overall a great episode.

Highlights:

the wedding, Brody's return, Nired, John and Blair AS FRIENDS

Lowlights:

Antonio and Talia (a little boring), Starr and Cole (Eterna! Now!!!)

Starr isn't dumb...well she is, but she isn't dumb enough not to know what can happen when two people have unprotected sex. She and Cole should equally share the blame for A, getting pregnant in the first place, and B, deciding to run away from Llanview. Nobody forced either one of them to do anything. As a matter of fact, when push came to shove and they knew Todd was in Virginia Beach, Cole wanted Starr to just go to him, but no, Starr couldn't do that because she LOVES! COLE! LOVES! COLE! CAN'T! LIVE! WITHOUT! COLE!!!!!!!! AAH!!!!! I agree with you for the most part, but I just don't see why people view Cole as the bad guy here. Neither Cole nor Starr are the bad guy, they're just the stupid, dumbass, idiotic, immature, childish guys. I don't think Todd's a bad guy either, mind you, to me, he's the misguided, completely, totally misguided, 100% out of touch, thinking-of-nobody-but-himself guy.

You are right, both Cole and Starr are responsible for this mess. I don't see him or Starr as the bad guy, it's their stupidity that bothers me... lol Plus the fact that Cole pushing Todd and going in Starr's room like a hero made me mad.

Starr is too boring for my taste. She is a Cramer and she is Todd Manning's daughter, not Danny and Cricket's from Y&R.

And Cole, take your shoes from Starr's hospital bed!

I've been watching OLTL since 1985, and this last week has been among the very best... maybe the very best, actually, because it seems like every storyline is well written, well directed, well filmed, well acted, and well edited. I felt sad for both Adriana ang Gigi, laughed at Nigel slapping Jared (and Natalie finding both Jared and Nigel crawling over a barely-dressed--and tied up!--David), felt Starr's fear of her father and her shame at having disappointed her mom (she thought), felt Starr & Cole's love for each other, hated Dorian for her meanness (and loved her for it at the same time), and more and more things that I can't even remember now. Kudos to the entire cast & crew for a week I'll never forget. I"m looking forward to many more of them

Just caught up on four days of shows, and I am so loving this show right now. With the one exception of Starr/Cole, I am truly enjoying all the storylines, and I FLOVE all the cliffhangers. Great soap writing.

David Vickers is just a breath of fresh air, and such a joy to watch.

This show I do believe is back on track. It has drama, romance, intrigue, heartache and humor. So much fun to watch.

It was yet another awesome episode, but I will say that I wanted more Jared/David/Natalie and less Antonio/Ramsey. It's not that I don't like those characters (well, I do hate Ramsey), it's that I do *not* like storylines dealing with lost jewels or treasure, etc. Yeah, that stuff has its place I guess, but I've never been a fan of it.

Finally Bo is ready to move on with Lindsay. Ive waited about 6-7 years for this. Love them together

Sarah made a blunder today. When comparing Cris punching John and Adriana doing the same to Gigi, she said it must run in the genes, but Cris and Adriana arent related.

You didn't like Bo with Gabrielle? I don't know if I'm in the minority of not, but I loved those two together. I hated when they killed Gabrielle off, Fiona Hutchinson is such a great actress (I loved her on GL as well).

Bo and Lindsay is very interesting though, especially the connection with Norah both characters share...
