Gracias, gracias! I'm glad I'm not the only one who's going eyeroll crazy with the two of them. They deserve it!

Wasn't she great? My favorite part was when she pretty much confirmed that

I always feel so bad for her when she talks about the whole stalking thing...it's really, really, really fucked up that this nutjob is still out there somewhere. It's also very clear that she loves OLTL. She's one of the few daytime stars that I've seen be excited for storylines that weren't their own.

For real!

OLTL was awesome yesterday!

OMG, I couldn't believe I was enjoying a soap opera this much! The scenes between Marcie/Todd were well done, both actors play off each other very well, and Kathy Brier deserves an Emmy, she's been flawless ever since RC has taken over (I chalk it up to the material simply not being there for her IMO).

Watching OLTL really makes me proud to see a soap featuring characters who are over the age of 50 like Viki, Charlie, and Dorian in such a well written story. Unlike other soaps that write stories for their over 50 crowd simply shut up their fans. So many is on the line with this story, and when the sh!t hits the fan I'm going to be glued to my television.

I loved Blair's warning to Cole. I also enjoyed the confrontation between Cole and Starr.

Gigi and Rex were soapy goodness. The use of their longing looks reminds me of Lilly and Holden on ATWT in the early 90s. .Brody and Rex's confrontation was also quite good.

The end mantage was brillant! Not the usual montage like the ones we've been seeing lately, for this one didn't have anyone singing. I agree with the poster who stated that it was similiar to the montgaes GL would show for their 4th of July episodes.

I loved the showdown at Micheal and Marcie's door. Todd telling Marcie that he would "back her into a dark corner" was disturbing and yet perfectly done. I agree with the person who said they love the way Marcie doesn't back down to Todd. Plus, I loved the lines where Todd and Blair were going back and forth threatening each other. It was well done and showed how immature and reckless they both are (still). No matter how high the stakes are and how much they've both screwed up they refuse to learn from their mistakes, especially Todd. I hope these two stay 'enemies" for awhile. They are much more interesting this way.

    • The rumor Zimmer writes about sounds like something Paul Rauch would have told Zimmer about Jacqueline Courtney as a way to discredit Courtney as Rauch loved to do that sort of thing. Zimmer probably just retroactively fit it into her story. Zimmer does not have good sense of time in her memoir. Who knows?!!? Zimmer strikes me as someone who always has to be competing with women.  Zimmer and 1986: If I had no context and someone told me that someone in the 1986 scenes would win four Emmys, I would immediately pick Denniston. Granted, I've only watched about a week's worth, but my word, Zimmer just fades into the background even when she's the main player in the storyline. There's no life in her performances. It feels that Zimmer is unhappy and that she's letting it impact her acting. 
    • I'm dreading going into the ninth season; I've got to be mentally ready for it.

       Does not help these seasons are damn near thirty episodes. Twenty-two should've been their cut-off.
    • True. I did enjoy the episodes surrounding Greg's faux death, too. @Liberty City Agreed, it started pretty slow, but once Jill falls off the cliff, I was more invested for some reason. Yes, I genuinely enjoyed the episodes surrounding Greg's fake death. I agree, it began quite slowly, but once Jill fell off the cliff, I became much more invested for some reason. I guess bc more of the cast was working together.  
    • Shouldn't Laura talk to Kevin first before agreeing to her brother Martin moving in with them? Her house is like a hotel for people she never sees -- like Lucky, who she's unaware of his latest departure as a man who runs away from everything. Meanwhile, Lucky is busy giving away his cabin to Isaiah, who we've barely seen him with.
    • With Sean Kanan as Carl Ivati.
    • These episodes have been delightful so far. I enjoyed everyone who stood at the podium today, as it reminded me of all the decades of history.
    • I've actually enjoyed Lucky's return for the most part, but his "farewell tour" scenes this week are just so weird, and they keep pointing out all the opportunities the show has missed to make him more vital to the canvas. Like I think his scenes with Isaiah today--where he gave Isaiah the deed to a cabin Luke built--were the first time we've seen the two of them together all year. Why go to all the trouble to build up this friendship when Isaiah was introduced, when they basically abandoned it as soon as Lucky moved back to Port Charles?
