As I've been told MANY times, this isn't about what X character has done. This is about Y (in this case Marcie).

Todd's a vile piece of [!@#$%^&*]. Always has, always will be. And Marcie is a baby stealing bitch who should have died years ago. She has outlived her usefulness. She should have joined Al in heaven.

Oh I disagree. Marcie is that type of character that a lot of soaps need. A supporting character with many ties to the canvas who can be put into any story without it feeling forced.

Would we be able to accept Todd better if it were Roger Howarth back in the role?

Curious to hear answers to this.

I'd like to think I would but it's been a while. And it's hard for me to forget his aversion to the role. In the end he was phoning it in, clearly resentful of the part. At this stage my problem isn't with TSJ, or RH for that matter, it's with Todd. That said, I don't mind Todd in this storyline, but I have my reservations about the one with Marty. I might have an easier time with it if he were more clearly looking for redemption.

Meep Meep!

LOL! DeeeDee you've gotta be one of my favorite posters!

So really, they deserve each other. lol

I heart Vivid. I do. I could watch those two all day long, and in any scene. They make me laugh, and they make me sigh. Erika and Tuc bring out the best in each other.

I love most of what Ron is doing with OLTL but good lord how long can he drag out Gigi's secret? Its been going on since November. Just tell Rex the truth already. It makes NO sense why she continues to lie and Im not agreeing with the way Ron is handling this story. Its lost alot of its steam especially with Adriana gone. I dont think most people care anymore and just want it out

IA. Marcie came on as a psycho nut, obsessed with Jen. Al made her tolerable and Ive only liked her with him. Once he died, I had no more use for her

Not me. I don't want the secret to come out until they're together, and it's Adriana who will be the one to spill the secret......at Gigi/Rex's wedding during May 2009 sweeps.

you want to wait almost a year for this? This secret needs to come out like yesterday. Toups, you are too used to JER's style of writing on NBC. We ABC fans dont like our secrets to go on THAT long...lol Thank god he's not on ABC. Ethan on Passions STILL doesnt know Lil Ethan is his son and that kid was born like 6 years ago

But secrets don't need to come out if you can create and interesting storyline for Rex/Gigi which I think Ron can do. There's also the beat of Brody's feelings for Gigi and him wanting to be Shane's father, and there's the story of Rex wanting to know who his real father is. You can play those beats and prolong the Shane's true paternity coming out for a long time.

About Little Ethan, I don't mind that Ethan still doesn't know, it's just JER focused too much on Theresa saying, "Ethan can't find out that Little Ethan is his son." I like the idea, just the execution was off. Same concept with Ron's secret.

At DAYS, Bill Bell didn't have Mike's true paternity coming out for what, 8-10 years? That's freakin awesome.

I'll always be a believer of long term planning and slow and steady build up to a huge climax. Secrets can last 6 months to 10 years, it doesn't really matter to me as long as you make it work and don't make it boring and don't make it too repetitive.

And how sweet to have two vixens on the show in the form of Dorian and Tess. Nobody else comes close to them right now!

Tess is to a vixen what Todd is to a rogue or a scalawag.

Meep! Meep!

Oh DeeDee!

Somebody somewhere pointed out that RH's semi frequent absences from the canvas for extended periods of time made the character of Todd more palatable. I tend to agree and think we may be long overdue for a Todd "break". I like the character and he really makes things happen, but I've just had enough for a time. Don't want him killed off. Just want him gone for a time.

you mean this?

That's the one! Would you mind if I used it?

Yeah Cole you did screw it up, now STFU you whiny baby

Uh Todd Marcie did NOT keep you from YOURSON for two years. Besides how long did you let Blair believe Jack was dead after he was born? So STFU

Exactly!

Great post.....ITA.

Hey Cole....no sh*t Sherlock!

Cole annoys me more and more everyday. I can't it believe it took John to make Cole understand that he screwed up by telling Todd. Yes Cole, you are an idiot.

And so true about Jack....and there's also his keeping Marty from Cole.....or how he tried to kill Margaret while she was pregnant with the child he claims to love. Todd is always the victim. Everyone is out to get him. His routine is falling on deaf ears with me.

I'm pro-Starr on this one. Cole is a whiny ass sack of sh*t.

That's the one! Would you mind if I used it?

sure go ahead!

sure go ahead!

Thanks!

hey, 2 episodes in a row without Tina or Marty, and I loved the show both days! I love me some Tina and Marty (even if i'm a bit lukewarm about their current storylines) but I'm stoked that the show has so many entertaining storylines simultaneously that on any given day it's such a pleasure to watch.

David & Viki are just excellent together. And I laughed out loud yesterday when Dorian screamed that she could horsewhip David , and he told her he missed that...
