OLTL: OMFG, Fortieth Anniversary Spoilers From TV Guide

[Scotty]

OMFG this is great!!!!!!!!!!

I was just thinking today about how wonderful it would be if Agnes Nixon appeared on OLTL, and here she is!!!!!!!!

I know she has appeared on AMC before, but isn't this a first for OLTL?

[Scotty]

Exactly Jay......this is classic OLTL.

[Desertrose]

Oh yeah. Classic, classic, classic SOAP at its best. I am so excited about what RC is doing with OLTL. (Thank you from the bottom of my soapy heart, Ron!)

As a viewer from day 1 it is just SO cool- beyond cool - that he is using history so well. I loved all the stories they did, Spaceship to Heaven, Old West and even Eterna. The 40th Anniversary show(s) will be DVR'd -permanently. I wish they'd put some of the old shows- especially this one (hint hint) out on DVDs.

OMG...I am just so excited that OLTL is doing such fantastic stuff....after suffering through the Higley years...dayum, we deserve it!!

[dragonflies]

Yeah I hope OLTL becomes ABC's number 1 soap, hopefully that then would wake up one of the hacks in charge to how a GOOD soap is done........

[Jonathan]

Yes, let's steal him. I mean if we can steal babies we can steal headwriters from other shows!

[Cheap21]

that would be great bc over the years it has gotten the most disrespect out of the 3. GH is the network's crown jewel and AMC can do no wrong even when its bad. OLTL has to fight for scraps. Im so glad its finally rocking again and regardless of what ratings say, it is the BEST show on the network.. It deserves to be #1

[Ryan]

More reasons why this man is amazing, and people just hate on him and OLTL because they're jealous.

[Scotty]

I love Carlivati's quote, especially how he bashes GH without bashing them, if you know what I mean.

[Ryan]

Exactly. GH's "tribute" was a disgrace. I'm excited for how all of this will play out.

[Errol]

You all have convinced me to return to my OLTL roots. OLTL was the first soap I watched, but GH got me with their long list of actors that I couldn't tune away from. Through all that, OLTL was there and now it will be there when I need it most.

Awesome stuff coming up.

[Scotty]

I have just learned of one other small return coming soon to OLTL. Look for Madame Delphina to predict the Cramer women's futures in a few weeks. Remember that she was Dorian's favorite physic.........she last aired in 1999, although I'm not sure if this go around she will be portrayed by the original actress.

[KMan101]

Damn! I never expected this! SO awesome! Ron Carlivati is GOD! Why can't we clone him 7 times? I also swear to god if Frons ever gets rid of the man I'll scream ...

[Vee]

I believe I know what Delphina's return is about. I just wish it would end properly this time. It's another revisit of the past, but this time it's in one of the maybe two stories on the show that I don't like.

[EricMontreal22]

Hrmm I'm largely thrilled but a bit more mixed than some on here (and don't any of you call me a fan who must not know his history or any such nonsense *glare*). It's about time the show got a proper anniversary. I know when malone came we got a week of flashbacks (which wasn't a anniversary but similar) in 1992 I wanna say--but otherwise OLTL hasn't had a decent anniversary episode in a long time (AMC usually egts the best though I was a bit let down by their last one too). Yeah I'd kinda prefer if they revisited stories from all the eras--though it's true all those characters are largely gone--maybe we can still hope for a quick Judith Light cameo (though I dont' think her character really died so why would she be in heaven?)

It does seem dangerous to revisit the Wild West plot though one that, unliek the waterfall and Heaven, NO ONE really liked much. Rauch era OLTL was good when Peggy O'Shea, Sam Hall's old associate, was writing even with the camp but when she left and was replaced solo by S. Michael Schnessel midway through 1987 I think it just became a bit too out of touch with reality--under O'Shea you still had a balance. ANyway I dunno a time travel story, whether it's done as a dream or not, lasting for several weeks seems risky to me--but I admit it could be gold despite my reservations...

I wonder if Vicki will see her dad in Heaven? if so he certainly won't be as pleasnt as last time (I think he was in Heaven anyway can't remember...)--I still want to find out what that revealtion about him Dorian told Vicki at Asa's funeral was...

I am NOT too thrilled about hearing about Tess coming back aroudn the anniversary though... It's just too soon (if ever) for me to revist more Jess/Tess even if with Jessica's current state it does make sense.

Still congrats OLTL--i never thought I'd see you in such good shape on your 40th (i recently foudn my tape of OLTL's 35th anniversary episode... hardly classic stuff)

[JackPeyton]

^I pretty much agree all around

except is tess coming back out? or is that rumblings going around? I have not read that for fact anywhere yet.
