Wasn't... um... Andy also Carlo's daughter? I seem to remember another love interest of a Vega boy winding up as Carlo's kid, but I could be combining stories in my head.

Come to think of it, it wasn't Andy. But I definitely feel like I remember a story re: Carlo's daughter. The character Robin Griggs played maybe?

ETA: Memory's coming back. Andy was Max's sister. Duh. But I definitely feel like Griggs played a Hesser.

Carlo's other daughter was Charlotte Hesser. Not sure what happened to her.

He also had a niece, Stephanie Hobart, who dated Kevin in High School. It was a Romeo/Juliet thing.

Carlo's twin was nerdy egyptologist Mortimer Bern (with a toupee) who Alex Olanov made over to be Carlo's spitting image and there was confusion for years about which one was killed in 1996. Clearly it was Mortimer.

Carlo has more lives than Stefano DiMera.

LOVING CARLO TODAY!

Frankly, I'm dumb-founded by whatever backstage politics made Valentini/ABC/OLTL choose Mikey over Beth-Ann... then bring Beth-Ann on, get Mikey off as SOON as his thirteen weeks were up, and then devote all of this (good) time and energy to building up Beth-Ann. It makes NO SENSE. Wouldn't it have been better publicity for IWBASS if one of their winners was a resounding success?!?!

Right! Charlotte was the curly red-head, right?

And Stephanie is the character Griggs played. Now I remember. THanks, David!!!

Go Lindsay! Take that wind out of Nora's sails!

Tina and Cain are awesome "Of course I care about Susan..." "Sarah!" "Right, I knew that"

Messy! Love it!

Carlo/Talia/Sarah are delicious.

I forgot Johnny Dee might have been Sarah's father for a time! Carlo's vicious, calling Tina a whore! This is the best our of One Life to Live in my entire life.

Cain: Wouldn't you rather be princess of Mendorra... than a Buchanan in Llanview?

Cut to Nora busting up the Buchanan wedding in Llanview.

I think I'm dying.

Higley's use of Carlo was clearly an "It's-Sweeps-and-I-need-a-big-return-for-someone-to-drive-my-plot-forward-in-a-sensationalistic-yet-illogical-way" decision. Ron was on the team then, so we saw glimpses throughout the prison riot of the real Carlo. But for the most part, he was a plot device.

STARR - STFU. Cole wants to raise his baby, and it's something I'd do in his position as well. He may have just made a mistake telling Todd... :P dont know his motives there, maybe he has a deathwish.

    • Which is still a form of manipulation. Granted it won't work because Ted isn't interested in Leslie at all no matter how much she tries to make him look like a horrible person. When you consider the situation with Hayley it does make sense why Anita would take that approach.
    • Another good one and great episode to start off the week. Confrontations, character moments, movement, and an awful lot of bubbles on display. lol.    I've found myself liking Sara Bibel breakdowns. And this episode might be why. I sense movement of plot going on. And Jazmen being on script duty has already become a highlight for me. So this episode dealing with more fallout from the SilkPress/Eva reveal was another good one. And even got a solid B plot moving in the Vanessa/Doug/Joey storyline...which I just said yesterday...has been the only one of the B plots...that has real build to it so far.    You are not a real soap pariah until you get dragged and a community treats you as such. So basically another old school soap vibe that Eva is giving me. Watching her trying to find her footing only to be read by just about everyone she has encountered has been great. It makes her so rootable. And she's played by an excellent actress. Cuz that quivering lip at the end with her and Anita...ooooo some of you all seem heated for Anita making poor girl cry even though it's her fault. That's great acting. Not to mention writing.    I also love that the side character got their point of view. I loved Mona moving about town trying to get info to avenge Nicole in a way. And she dragged Eva. She read Silk Press Sheila. And that 'enjoy the burn' was well-said. And did I see a spark with Mona and Randy? Hmmm. I don't mind.

          I also didn't mind that Martin/Kat scene. I enjoy their sibling relationship so far. And I feel like the right thing to do to keep them close as they support their mother. It even made sense that Martin would soften to the idea of Eva as part of the family given their brief scene at the start of this storyline. Meanwhile, NO from Kat. lol. And she's already questioning the DNA test...OF COURSE SHE IS. But again...that avail...her and Eva being the SAME age. Twins. I just felt the writers are really foreshadowing that heavy. Meanwhile, the SilkPress saga is far from over.   I love the parade of Ted Visitors. LMAO!!! I thought Dani vs Ted was pretty good. But I about fell out when Anita walked up in there like old school Sonny Corinthos. And I hollered with Anita wiping the floor with Ted with Dani in the background like Jason Morgan. Watch your step, Theodore. Anita was giving Boss Bitca and I was living.    That said...I didn't like Anita making poor Eva cry. But as was said above...the stuff with Hayley is still too fresh on the Duprees' mind. So sadly understandable, Anita set down the law.    Uh oh. Dani saw Vanessa with Joey. Granted they are not the BFFs, but I do hope that that means we are getting a Dani/Vanessa scene. And I loved that we got another step in the B storyline. Doug fighting (and failing) in his addiction. Meanwhile, Vanessa resisted hers. And Joey did not look happy.    And saying the best for last. I LOVE Nicole vs Silk Press Sheila. Ooooo Nicole got under her skin good. And I loved it. I also hollered at Silk Press couldn't even be fake nice for 5 whole minutes to her. DD did soooooooo good. The body language. The looks. The inflections on just the right words. I LOOOVVVE that confrontation and looking forward to more since she clearly verbally cracked SilkPress's face. Meanwhile, I was just as taken aback at Ted showing up at Silk Press Sheila's place. I also thought it was another fantasy. Nope. And then SilkPress put the moves on him and went just a little more cray cray in the coda.    Just such a great episode.

    • Nope still in development. ABC/Disney are having their upfronts today though, so there's a very slight hope we might get an update.
    • Has anyone ever posted January and February 1974? I can't find them in the 'Look Back to 75' thread. Thanks.
    • Did January and February 1974 DSN ever get posted? I can't seem to find it in this thread.
    • I agree. Especially after SilkPress got back to her apartment and started to mock Nicole. Her dislike for Nicole and seeing her as a threat to her getting Teddy Bear is growing worse. So I could see her pulling a kidnapping on Nicole at some point. If anything she was going there to poke the bear and got pressed (pun unintended) when the bear gathered her.   Completely understandable.

    • I swear this entire time I thought Roman knew about the Phillip/Vivian letter lol.  I do like how mature Roman/Kate are as a couple.  It makes me sad the new writers never got a chance to write for John/Marlena. I agree with @AbcNbc247 that the Felicity stuff is a bit after school special-y.  I am pretty sure that (most) of the viewing audience is aware that a grown man should not be shouting at any teenage girl especially one with disabilities.  Just let Xander apologize and move on. Linsey Godfrey was in her Sarah baby voice mode today and it irritates me to no end.   I know it's a cutesy thing her and Xander do but it's annoying. Bringing Kevin back is strange, but I do like the use of history.  I do think Rex probably could have been used instead, but whatever.  I don't care about Rex much either lol.
    • I mean over the past decades. But I do agree that in recent years now, the writing is not working for them as well as it used to then. It's same old, same old...which is what made the Damian storyline refreshing. At least for me.
