OLTL: Discussion for the week June 23-27

Actually....

looking over my day-to-day previews for this week, the funeral stuff continues on Wednesday, not tomorrow.

With that in mind I wonder how the week will play out as a whole. Not complaining as much as I am wondering.

Yesterday's episode a great start off to the week.

-I really liked Natalie's breakdown in front of Roxy. it was about time we saw her reacting to her family's reaction to her betraying them.

-Roxy and Charlie...<3

-It was nice balance seeing the drama play out with the Buchanans, meanwhile at La Boulie it was all camp and humor.

-Finally the Bo/Lindsey/Nora story heats up. Love how they included R.J. into the story.

I know I can't believe they're sending RJ away to Chicago. I hope it's a set up to get Lindsay's guard down and he shows up soon. It's a travesty how they are wasting Timothy Stickney. Just out of curiosity does anyone know if Layla will be attending Nash's funeral? Nash and Layla were good friends and if she doesn't show up I'm going to be livid..

Hhmmmm......foreshadowing perhaps with Marcie and the New Mother dayplayer........just speculation, but I think Marcie may actually end up pregnant.

The Emmy picture above shows that OLTL has at least one African American actors so where the hell are the African American characters on the show? Where is Layla? She and Brody have chemistry. They should start spending some time together even if they bicker.

Can Brody decide to get a job and become the new underwear model for Xposed? It will keep him in Layla's orbit AND have him wearing just boxer-briefs A LOT more often. That's my vote.

I forgot all about hte funeral till they showed the promo. I dont like that they took a break from that. They should have just saved yesterdays' material for today if that were the case.

I would so not be against a Charlie/Roxy pairing until Viki decides she wants to give him a second chance. I like how they're somehow "bonding" over their recovering alcoholism.

Roxy's a recovering alchie? Since when? Loved her 39 Steps line yesterday. David also had a particularly clever one when Addie mentioned to her doctor that architect and he thougth she meant a composer... i think *I watched yesterday's at 2am half asleep so may have forgotten*

Today's ep was pretty meh but again a meh episode isn't bad--I enjoyed a lot of little moments (was this the first time nuMichael was shirtless? not super buff but I'm not complaining). But you think they coulda saved some of the fairly low key stuff for another episode and added something more exciting.

OK my one complainty right now storywise. Well two--first I hate the obviousness of the cliffhangar with John coming to Todd's ugly new house and asking to see the lady of the house. We all know he won't see Marty for at least another 2 weeks--these kinda fake Days of Our Lives style cliffhangars drive me crazy (by DAYS I mean JER basically had them at every commercial break when he writes a soap). They're too obvious.

But my big one is this Lindsay storyline. Would RJ actually write SO clearly what lindsay did in a letter he slipped under BO's door withotu making sure Lindsay would get it first?? Maybe a veiled reference to what Lindsay did but SOO clearly? it seems remarkably lazy writing to me, coming from Carlivati. I just can't see someone as clever as RJ doing that. I do liek that it's bringing this story to thre forefront, I just think it's a bit sloppy. Of course if Dena had written it by her standards it would be genius :D

Yes but as long as they don't go all typical soap opera and clean shave his chest--I like how it is now :)

I'm telling myself that RJ subconsciously wants Lindsay to get caught. I agree, it's a shame they waste RJ, but I think the actor is off doing a play or something. I heard he won't be around for several months. Does anyone know for sure?

  • Member

Yeah I do agree I thought maybe it was a part of RJ's typical payback/revenge but still. The rest of the letter was SOO sincere for him...

Well as long as RJ is still onr ecurring--wasn't he for a while even off recurring?

That's what I always assumed, even before I started watching OLTL regularly the first time around. I always figured she was (or had been) a heavy drinker...now, the recovering part, that's up in the air.

I felt sorry for Cole today. A year ago, I really thought BB was hopeless, but his acting has improved. I can even understand Cole's position. I'm sure it would be better for the child to be raised by good adults who are ready to be parents, but it's not like there is any guarantee that's how it's going to be. I can see why Cole wants to hold onto the only family he has left and it kind of annoys me that people are so quick to dismiss him.

He does have as many rights as Starr and it's not like he would be the first 18 (by the time Starrlet is born) year old to raise a baby. He might not be ready to have a child, but he could get ready with some help. I'm sure Marty left him lots of insurance money, so he could hire a nanny and take parenting classes. I'm not saying it's an ideal situation, but it's also not as unrealistic as Nora makes it out to be.

I don't understand Todd's agenda. Why does he want to turn Marty against John? I just don't understand why he would want to hurt Marty again, after he's tried to make things up to her in the past.
