I'm really glad that Michael saw that ridiculous kiss. -

The two main couples were front and center today and I couldn’t be happier. I was actually a little surprised that Xander figured out that Sarah knew about Philip’s fraud. The way the Philip/Xander scene was written, I thought the secret was going to be dragged out for a little longer. Which I actually wouldn’t have minded but I really enjoyed Sarah and Xander’s scenes today. They were acted well and written well. You got a real understanding of why Xander and Sarah did the things that they did. And now that Xander’s moving out, I can’t wait to see what happens next for them. And I guess now we know why Abe and Paulina got a new apartment. I’m glad that Johnny and Chanel have a place of their own now. I think it’s just needs a paint job though lol Johnny and Chanel were sweet today too but I hope that this isn’t the end of the drama for them. The drama of Chanel’s suspicions about Johnny could play out for so long and o hope that it does. Johnny did look hot too but he could’ve looked hot for a little longerPlease register in order to view this content
The fundraiser at the Small Bar seemed a little random though but I like how everyone, and their storylines became involved in it. And I’m not really sure about Cat being so goofy all of a sudden. And, Maggie was used very well today too. First, with Philip and then to comfort Sarah. -

@Paul Raven, agreed. I never understood why Derek was made a firefighter unless this show has some big fire sweeps coming up. I feel that's an uneventful job for a character to have on soaps with its limited budget. I do think that if he were a cop alongside Jacob, that would've probably endeared us to him more b/c his existence wouldn't be only Ashley. Speaking of Jacob, did they just drop the shady partner story? They really need to speed up Joey's story. MVJ is strong with the Duprees, but (and I am saying this out of love) she must tighten up on the side character stories if she wants them to be just as viable. Otherwise, I see this show falling to the same trap as B&B and Santa Barbara, where side characters rarely thrive. -
Thanks @Paul Raven I do think it makes sense if Slesar was writing this last year of the show. Some of the choices, like the music box/clock, I could see being his. Carrie and Avis also seem not far off from his heroines.

Tues ep opens with Princess Kit Kat dumping exposition dialogue to Jacob. I really can't take her seriously in those outfits. Like she literally puts on that get up to wander around all day? What exactly does she do? OMG Derek-is he a cyborg? Jan comes by all chatty and natural and he literally stands there. I'm sorry, but is the actor watching himself? There's no body movement whatsever.He just recites lines. And Ted was replaced? And why didn't they just make Derek a cop? He could naturally be in scenes with Jacob, instead of those visits to the set. Dedicated wonder nurse Ashley upsets the hospital schedule b/c of her private life. Honey, maybe work would be a distraction? -
Yeah… #FreeDerek

Every time they do a Nurses Ball red carpet it breaks the (already precarious) internal logic of the show. I get that some of these people are local public figures but, like, is Carly famous? What are all these media outlets covering this event? Are we supposed to believe even Port Charles’s local affiliates are airing *live* coverage of this event? Who is watching this? Why are Nina and Drew being interviewed even as they’re hosting? And so forth. -

Let's travel back in time to Llanview 1976-courtesy of the Daytime Serial Newsletter Since its premiere in 1968, One Life to Live, the story of the Lord and Wolek families in Llanview, has depicted the interrelationships between people from all walks of life. Victor Lord had two daughters: Victoria, now married to Joe Riley, editor of the Lord newspaper, the Banner, and Merideth, who was the wife of Dr. Larry Wolek and the mother of little Danny until her recent death. Victor has recently married Dr. Dorian Cramer, unaware of the mercenary and self-serving motives that prompted Dorian to encourage his proposal. From the moment of their marriage Dorian has made it clear that she is in all ways mistress of the Lord estate, - Llanfair. Victoria is now recovering from an automobile accident in which Joe’s illegitimate infant daughter, Megan, died. Cathy Craig, Megan’s mother, irrationally blames Viki for the accident, apparently believing Viki wanted Megan out of the way. Neither Joe nor Cathy is aware of the fact that Megan suffered from a congenital heart defect and would never have lived to adolescence. Larry’s sister Anna is married to Cathy’s father, Dr. Jim Craig. Their brother Vince Wolek is married to Wanda and has recently lost his job as a policeman in Llanview due to town-budget cutbacks. Vince’s niece, Jenny, a novice nun, has recently arrived in town, and is now planning to leave the order and marry Tim Siegel as soon as she’s completed a final nursing mission in South America. Victor knew he had an illegitimate son and searched in vain for him, but had no idea that Tony Lord, a reporter/war correspondent recently arrived in Llan-— view, was that son. Dorian and her accomplice, Matt McAllister, did know, and conspired to conceal the truth from Victor to prevent Tony from interfering with Dorian’s plans to gain control of Lord Enterprises. Patricia Kendall, a friend of Cathy’s from New York, has accepted a reporting position on the Banner, unaware that Tony Lord is on the scene. Law student Tim Siegel, waiting in Llanview for his intended bride, novitiate Jenny Wolek, to return from a mercy nursing mission in the South American country of La Costa, is horrified to hear a broadcast reporting an attack by La Costan revolutionaries on the hospital where Jenny is working. Jenny, who has not yet taken her final vows, planned to leave her order at. the conclusion of this mission. After hours of emotional torture, Tim learns that Jenny’s name isn’t on the list of reported dead, but the survivors will have to cross a near-impenetrable jungle under fire to escape. But some do get out, and Jenny is among them. Suffering from burns and malaria, she is flown back to Llanview with Dr. Peter Jenssen, now. a wanted fugitive from La Costa because of his political leanings. As he is still unlicensed in the United States, he accepts a medical-technician post at Llanview Hospital. As Jenny recovers, she admits to Tim she would like to go back and finish what she started, but also wants to go ahead with their marriage plans. Tim notes, however, as reports of brutal destruction come out of the tiny country, that she shares a bond with Peter. Jenny’s uncle Vince Wolek is thunderstruck that she would consider abandoning her religious vocation and makes it clear he’s unalterably opposed. Victor Lord is overjoyed to learn that Tony Harris is the illegitimate son he’s been searching for for years, but his happiness is dimmed by Tony’s scathing resentment of this extremely rich father who allowed him and his mother to live in near poverty until her death. Tony expresses his resentment to Cathy Craig, who offers him the sympathy he’s shown her since the death of her baby daughter. Cathy bitterly blames Viki Lord Riley for baby Megan’s death, as Viki was driving the child to the hospital when the fatal crash occurred. Cathy doesn’t know that her baby, fathered by Joe Riley before his recent marriage to Viki, was suffering from a hereditary and definitely fatal disease. Viki, now recovering from the accident, tries to smooth things out between her father and Tony, but realizes they are on a collision course.’ Visiting Cathy at her apartment, Tony is amazed to find that her new roommate is Pat Kendall, with whom he had a love affair more than ten years ago in Rio de Janeiro, when he was in the Merchant Marine and she was a Peace Corps volunteer. They parted after a quarrel, and she later married Paul Kendall, who is now wanted by the FBI as a suspect in the political bombing of a government building: Pat explains that she is separated from her husband and has a nine year old son, who is staying with his grandmother. Policeman Lieutenant Ed Hall tends to minimize the concern of his wife, Carla, about their adopted son Josh’s: recent behavior until he learns that Josh has been spending large amounts of money to impress his white girl friend, Bernice, and her friends (the Hall family is black) and has not been showing up at his part-time job. Actually, Josh has lost his job, due to his unreliability, but he hides this fact and tries to borrow money from Ed, claiming his expenses exceed his income. Wanda, Vinnie’s wife, accidentally spills the beans, worrying the Halls about Josh’s now lying to them as well. Viki can’t bring herself to tell Joe that any child they have might well have the same fatal condition Megan had. She has told him she’s considering her father’s idea that she and Joe be co-editors of the family newspaper, the Llanview Banner, so that when she becomes pregnant he can carry the full editorial responsibility. Doriab Cramer Lord, recently married to Victor Lord, realizes that her position of power could be impaired by Tony’s arrival on the scene and convinces Victor to squelch Tony’s probable new reporting job on the rival Chronicle by pointing out that it would be embarrassing to have his son on another paper. When Victor does this, Tony bitterly resents his father’s interference, as Dorian knew he would. Dorian then convinces Victor that the Merideth Lord Wolek wing of the hospital is proceeding badly and she should head up the project, named for his late daughter, wife of Dr. Larry Wolek. Dr. Jim Craig reminds Victor that Dorian was bitter at being dismissed from the hospital staff and perhaps shouldn’t work on this project, but Victor assures him she’ll get the job done. Jim suggests to Viki that she accept an appointment to the hospital board, to balance Dorian, but she declines, explaining that she and Joe need time alone. Viki and Joe have resumed their physical relationship, and Joe expresses his wish that they soon have a family. For this reason, Viki refuses her brother-in law Larry’s offer to tell Joe the truth about his hereditary condition, saying she'll do it herself when the time is right. Jim, learning that Viki and Joe resumed relations before she started taking her birth-control pills, suggests a pregnancy test, and Viki is stunned to find that she’s already pregnant. Viki decides she will tell Joe but press him to share her faith that this child will be unaffected by the disease.
