OLTL: Discussion for the week June 23-27


Recommended Posts

I was rather disappointed that there has been so much time between Nash's death & the funeral....of course in soap days, I wonder how many it has been. In real time, for me anyhow, the momentum was lost. I just wasn't feeling it like I felt the actual death. I really wish they would have given us a few Nash flashbacks too. Just didn't have the impact I think & wished it would've. (I think Valenti must have really disliked Forbes March!!)

Am LOVING Tina....what could possibly have made her stay away from her family??? I got the impression as she spoke with whoever was on the phone (her husband the Prince??) that she is being kept on a shorter leash than David Vickers. LOL I'm really looking forward to this storyline. I will be sorry if they recast Justis Bolding- now that she's been given someone to act with besides Chris & Leyla, I think she is doing well. Loved the song she sang for Nash.

Todd & Marty....have to say I FF them.Hope she finds out her history with Todd sooner rather than later....ick!

...and please, Gigi...tell Rex...sooner the better...but yeah, its a soap so I'm not holding my breath.

My favorite scenes today were with Roxy, Rex, Natalie and Jared in Angel Square. I loved Roxy's vulnerability with Rex. She hurt my heart. Roxy is not a traditional mother, to say the least, but her love for Rex and her hurt at the cut were heartwrenching for me. I really liked the camaraderie between Jared, Natalie and Roxy. They're so comfortable. As a viewer I kind of needed that to relieve some of the tension that every other interaction seems to be loaded with. And "Natty" and Rex. I love how Rex is still so very angry with Natalie, and so capable of calling her out on that, but he still loves her and that shines through. THAT's what family is supposed to look like.

Loved the ep, don't have much to say but... I thought Sarah's vocal chords were slashed and she could no longer sing?

Todd's new house is *weird*. I thought Llanview was an old city? But it seems lately every new house on a soap has the weirdest design or floor plan (don't get me started on Zach's on AMC).

Otherwise loved nearly everything :D

ANy other Canadians who watch the mid episodes Soap's Up segment (filmed right here in my hometown of Victoria--I've met the host--really sweet woman)we get for AMC and OLTL hear the phone interview she did with Tom Casiello about his views of the show now? Pretty intereesting stuff, though we knew most of it from his blog.

Just got around to watching yesterday's show(stupid news interruption) and I really enjoyed it. I usually find Roxy annoying but I'm really sympathizing with her and am really curious as to who Rex's father could be. I was also glad to see a softer side of Tina today and I'm very glad they starting to show more layers and not just let her be a cartoon cut-out.

On a kind of positive note, Layla was on today but on a negative note she didn't seem sad at all. I really think the writers forgot that she and Nash were friends and it's upsetting. Nash told Layla about his affair with Jess and it was because of that conversation that Cris found out, how can they forget something like that? :(

I actually liked that it took a couple of days/or weeks for the funeral to occur. It irks me a little when soaps (OLTL did this with Asa's death, and it irked me a little) have the funeral happen the next episode after a character has died. I find it more realistic that the show shows a few days pass between the death and the funeral while also illustrating the ripple effects the death has upon the characters. But that's just me ;).

I enjoyed yesterday's episode very much. The funeral has gotten off to a fantastic drama filled start. I cannot wait for it to play out....

...and FINALLY we get a cliffhanger! I think it was one of the best since Nash fell through the skylight.

I hate that the writers aren't writing for Layla. They didn't acknowledge her friendship with Nash & they didn't give her and Adriana a goodbye scene. It's weird that the last person Adriana would visit was Marcie and not her best friend.

Jessica: You are trailer trash!

Bree Williamson is doing a fantastic job with the material she's been given. You can see the hurt in Jessica's eyes, and you can tell how uncomfortable everyone in the room is as she screams at Natalie and Jared.

       about it I think Jan is a fine supporting part for a solid daytime vet (probably someone from the P&G soaps), as opposed to someone from the production location who is clearly cheaper. Which seems to govern some casting. I get the rationale, but I would start going through the ATWT/GL, etc. rolodex myself.
    • I dont mind Jan. She's good in the minor capacity she is used. 
    • tbqh I don't care about Jan, I don't care about Ashley and I think Jon Lindstrom as Joey is an acquired taste. Jon is a great actor but certain things are in his zone and then some are not. Some days I find Joey credible and compelling, but the stuff with him hanging around the Golden Corral, grumbling about Doug and bitching at Randy is not amazing. If he had material on par with what MVJ wrote for Ryan/Kevin on GH back in the day it'd be a different story. I do think he has real chemistry with Vanessa, which is in large part due to MVJ clearly molding that character (and hiring an appropriate actor) in the Lucy Coe vein when she reinvented Lucy in the '90s as well. But I am not here to spend 6+ months watching Jon glower a lot (which is what he's doing half the time to carry weak story) and make more vague dire pronouncements while Jen Jacob gets flustered and weepy over "Daddy" or whatever would come of that storyline. Putting them together sounds like a recipe for doom to me. But I may be in the minority on that.
    • I know this will never happen. But... Halle Berry as Dani Dupree(BTG). She would rock this role, it's in her wheelhouse.
    • When I see how bad the Ashley/Derek scenes are, I know there must be a larger purpose and Joey being her father is the thing that makes the most sense.  My take on it is that Ashley knows Joey is her father but doesn't know Joey. Maybe he was there when she was a child or just not around at all but I believe Jan when she says she didn't lie to her daughter about who her father was. Maybe she left him when she discovered his dangerous lifestyle.  I do think they could really jump start the character of Ashley if they hurry and do this. Jan is a great character and her scenes with Ashley have been helpful. This would further integrate Ashley into the canvas and give her something dramatic to do. With her working at the hospital along with Doug, it could lead to complications if she learns Doug is involved with her father. I just need is sooner rather than later because Derek is tanking her character. I need a distraction.
