I thought Rex was going to find out about Shane, and you're right, it would have made this more believable for me if he were to find out that Adriana knew this and didn't tell him, especially after finding out that Charlie isn't his father.

Nice! Another new OLTL viewer. I hope you'll continue to enjoy the show.

Do you think Adriana will ever find out about Rex almost kissing Gigi twice one of which was on the day of their wedding? I want to feel for Rex but he makes it really hard, he's such a hypocrite.

I also liked Viki's line the other day, telling Todd never to refer to Blair or any other woman as a bitch again.

She did? Damn, I must've missed that.

See, that's what I dig about OLTL right now: it's like RC knows what we might be thinking. Like when Todd referred to Cole in court as an s.o.b., I thought, "So, Marty's a b***h?!" Just when I thought they would let it slide, however, along came Viki, apparently admonishing her brother for being so disrespectful to women. And this is in addition to the morning after Todd spent the night at Llanfair, when Viki basically told him in the solarium that she was done defending or even understanding him - which is exactly what I've been begging her to say to him since, oh, 1998?

God, I missed this SO much.

I'm really enjoying OLTL which is wonderful since I usually never watch the show but hearing so much about it made be want to watch it and I'm so glad I tuned in now both myself and my mother are watching it and I couldn't be happier.

at this point, I dont really think it matters. He told her today that he was conflicted about his feelings before hte wedding and shouldnt have gone on with it

They just need to get on with Balsco already, this whole angsty we can't be together and the "when's rex going to find out about his kid" game is getting really tiresome. They need to move it along, and I guess with this sham of a marriage being over they're one step closer.

Yes, they're jealous, and jealousy is so unflattering.

There's bound to be haters....that's fine. When someone gets so much praise, some people are going to hate that. It's natural.

Let's just enjoy OLTL as the great soap it is right now. And let's just be glad OLTL doesn't have a HW like Jean Passanante or Dena Higley (anymore) or Bob Guza or Brad Bell or B&E or Chuck Pratt.

Plus, I think our 1100+ replies showcases our (well most of us) support and appreciation of Carlivati

Would be nice to see the ratings slightly correspond to this increased thread interest.

R.I.P.: Anthony Geary has passed away

And Johnny Wactor and Billy Miller (along with Tyler Christopher) dying so young and tragically. It’s devastating.
And Nneka Garland behind the scenes…

God, do I agree with this. Stephanie just doesn't cut it as a lead carrying this much story.
DAYS has all the elements to being good, but the truth is, it's not. Cwikly and Ford are better than Ron C, but that doesn't mean much when they're still not what I'd call solid. They aren't giving me anything to be excited about, and it feels like everything is on low simmer.

R.I.P.: Anthony Geary has passed away

Awful news. I've certainly said my fair share about Luke and the Eckerts on here over the years, but when he was on and committed, there was never anybody better. He was a huge part of growing up watching GH in the 90s and 2000s.
His relationships with Laura, Bobbie, Robert, and Lucky will get most of the attention, but I want to mention how good he was with a lot of the rest of the cast in that era. His relationships with Tony, Lucy, Felicia, Tiffany, Sonny, Carly, Nikolas, Alexis, Tracy- all so different, unique, and you really felt the connections.
Monica, Luke, Robert, Rick, and Lesley in one year is so much loss. Add in Bobbie, Alan, Nikolas, Sean, and Epiphany in the past couple of years and it's almost unfathomable.

I agree with this. You can see it in her shows, there is always movement. Those talking head scenes were walking around the nurses station, stopping at the counter at Kelly’s, etc. Scenes in the Webber home often begin or end with someone coming down the stairs, or headed to the door. I am sure Geary had run into plenty of issues where staging in a more traditional way hindered what he wanted to do and could seem stifling. Monty allowed improvisation, and spontaneity to be encouraged in rehearsals.
As a kid I always noticed that the ABC soaps of that era just felt more modern. When I watch old episodes now, the ABC shows still stand out that way. They took risks. Now I am not saying I think everything they did was fantastic- they had plenty of flops and bad ideas.

Her statement did not disappoint. They both spoke about that deep connection, that they didn’t share with anybody else. Even when Tony was fully committed to not ever playing Luke & Laura again, he still spoke about that connection as performers with some reverence.
I am not shocked they didn’t speak because that was their way even before his final exit. When they met to discuss returning in 1993 they had only seen each other a couple of times since their earlier run. That return was one of the handful of soap icon returns after being gone for a long time that fully worked. I have said this before but Monty, Marland, and PFS, with Geary and Francis of course, made such grounded characters with real internal lives that they could go and save the world, and also still fit in closer to reality in grittier material later under Labine, Guza, and Riche.
We saw Luke slowly morphed into a bitter and cynical man who eschewed connection with others. I had no problem with what Geary did with Luke’s characterization. Luke after Laura probably would self destruct. What I had issue with was Geary’s insistence that this was always the Luke he played. It very much was not, we saw it as it aired, the good and the bad before his revisionist history.
Almost every soap I watched had an iconoclastic character who challenged the other people in their communities. Soaps are so bland now and don’t really do these types of characters anymore.
Thanks everybody who has been posting tributes, I don’t use Twitter anymore so this is the only place I will see them!

Why not? Tamara Tunie would play the hell out of that story AND maybe land BTG their first major Emmy nomination in the process.

Obviously, we'll never know exactly what Geary meant, but I think what Gloria Monty hated was the fact that most soaps at that time seem confined to "talking heads" regurgitating the same exposition over coffee inside various living rooms and kitchens. Monty wanted soaps to be more active, arguing that housewives and other viewers would be forced to put down their laundry or whatever and actually pay attention.
