I think they did a great job with having Marcie struggle with leaving Tommy with Starr and Cole, we say her hesitiation and we saw how hard it was for her to walk away. The last segment was really great with Marty and Tina both coming in at the end.

Can I just say that I HATED the beginning scene with Starr, Cole, and that rude woman. I get that we're suppose to see Starr question her ability to be a true mother to her child and having regrets about her pregnancy. However, could they have done it in a MORE OBVOIOUS WAY? Damn, I felt like I was being hit on the head with that message. A little subtlety goes a long way...

As much as I loved it, I felt so bad for my poor Charlie. Sniff..sniff....but Rex needed to get all of that out.

Loved the Rex/Charlie and Roxy scenes.

Along with Adriana/Marcie, and I didn't think I would.

Could care less of the three stooges in the van, was more interested in Ramsey and Marty.

TINA!!!

Gigi would be at the hospital to check on Charlie. They did know each other, obviously. Although I agree it's ridiculous that Gigi just happens to be wherever Rex is. And we all know the same Shane chat will happen and then nothing comes of it ... ugh.

I've had the flu so I ended up sleeping through most of OLTL, lol. I did catch the last 10 minutes. Sounds like, in all honesty, I didn't miss much (except the Rex/Charlie/Roxy scenes. What little I saw of them, Ilene Kristen ROCKED it. I'm sure of course that JPL did also, but I missed most of his stuff). It was so wonderful and old school seeing Tina and Marty again!

I have to say - after catching up on yesterday and today - it's been so long since I've seen scenes like yesterday's Blair/Addie scenes, and today's Marcie/Adriana scenes. Oh my God, scenes that delve into characters' pasts, insights into their current motivation, and don't necessarily further plot! It's a miracle!

ETA: Naturally, I'm excited about Tina and Marty - but let's not forget KEVIN SPIRTAS! Welcome to Llanview, buddy!!!!!!!!!

    • Randy (Doug's friend who works for Joey) -- Joey told Randy weeks ago that Joey's plan was to get Doug into so much debt that Doug would be forced to get Vanessa's real estate holding turned over to Joey, to use for money-laundering.  That's been the plan all along, which the viewers knew.  The only thing new is that Joey finally told Doug this. I think Joey is written badly.  I also think Jon Lindstrom is doing "Now I am going to act menacing".   But I don't really feel the menace.  It's too overdramatic and it doesn't feel like a real person.  Jon is a fine actor on GH, so I don't know what's happening here -- the entire BTG mobster premise is badly designed/written.  I don't know if Guza pushed for a mobster storyline?  Or did Jon?  (Jon wrote a novel about Hollywood mobsters). It just doesn't fit.  It feels (to me) like this storyline for Jon was just shoved onto the canvas but it doesn't fit all all. Monday's scene of Mona coming into the "casino" to check up on where Leslie supposedly lost money in the slot machines -- and Randy explaining to Mona that there are no slot machines, there is nothing but the card room.  I had to laugh because they had characters comment that it's just a card room and not a casino -- the show is now acknowledging that there's nothing there.  If they are going to do this, then have it make sense for Fairmont Crest residents to visit a high-end glamourous casino, and not a random room with one table. So what money is Joey laundering? A while back, Joey told Vanessa that he knows about her sexual philandering because owns the escort service that she'd been using. But I don't care...  I'd just prefer that the entire mobster storyline go away. 
    • I caught up this past weekend. The show is better written, but I have been bored with the show. I did notice it ranked in the top 5 again this week, so that's a good sign.
    • I can't take this show seriously. I truly miss WJB writing this show. Bradley didn't inherit his dad's talent.
    • Maybe if there had been a good close up or two
    • I haven't had a chance to view the interview, but I'm glad Mike didn't get the part of Derek.  Derek is a badly written character. Any Ben Gavin screenshot from yesterday's show?
    • Wait, what? So, Martin’s not running for President anymore? Just like that?  I didn’t expect this storyline to be long term but I would’ve liked to see it play out for a little while longer, or at least until Martin’s secret was revealed. And definitely not fade out with a whimper. Sort of like Naomi’s lawsuit against Bill’s firm; what was the point of it all if it was just gonna wrapped up so easily and (probably) forgotten about?  Eva is still the breakout character though. I’m looking forward to seeing where she goes from here with everyone, especially if the twist that we’re all suspecting turns out to be true.  And I did find the gambling storyline interesting finally, now that we know Joey’s endgame. I’d like to see it play out and to see what happens to everybody involved in it.  As for Derek/Ashley… I wonder how it would’ve played out if they actually had cast Mike Manning as Derek. Yeah, the writing isn’t there but I imagine that Derek would have more of a personality lol and I also imagine that it would’ve made Ron Carlivati’s head explode
