OLTL: Discussion for the week July 14-18


Recommended Posts

I wouldn't expect Tess to feel bad, after that whole retconned back story. But there's probably a better way to express it, a more moving way, than THAT. The thing about Tess is that she was always wounded, always lashing out in pain at people. Now she's just twirling her moustache.

But Viki was there for Tess when she gave birth to Bree, Tess seemed to be more at peace about Viki, in fact I remember they had scenes in her bedroom where Viki said she would always be there for Tess and Jessica.

I miss PC, what a presence that man has onscreen.

If there was one thing this show needs to redo, it is that whole Niki taking Jess to bars resulting in Tess. I will never believe that destruction of Viki as the caring doing anything and everything for her children that Viki has always been.

RC needs to fix that one, in my view. I just don't believe and never will.

Well, yeah. But it was Niki. It was a bad rewrite, but frankly, in the list of bad rewrites, it's not THAT bad. And it gave some great material to the actors involved.

I think Jessica not being a Buchanan is by FAR the greater crime.

Yup. She's awful and BW is playing her very cartoonishly. Reminds me of when Nikki was running around town in 02-03 and Slezak was soooo campy that it was unbelievable that anyone wouldn't know it was Nikki and not Vicki. And what's with that bottle of poison with the skull and cross bones? Carlvati better watch it. He's good and camp is good but OLTL is a little on camp overdrive these days.

    • I don’t even know why you responded to the bait.
    • I only watch for Sharon and she’s barely on. The only good thing going at the moment is Jack and Diane scenes and they’ve made Diane such a wuss lately which is making that unbearable to watch too 
    • I feel like Earl Hamner and his crew brought in Richard* BECAUSE they knew almost right away that Robert Foxworth was so dull as Chase.  At any event, Richard, IMO, proved to be much more interesting as Angela's chief adversary. (*Or brought him back, depending on whether we're including the original "Vintage Years" pilot).
    • And it will also eventually air S2, which will air its finale in Canada this Thursday, May 15th! https://tvline.com/news/law-and-order-toronto-criminal-intent-season-1-2-the-cw-1235449356/ As an American that has managed to watch it in real time, it's very good. Frankly, I think it's the best of the L&O franchise as of now.
    • You are getting like me. It's getting to the point that without any Damian sightings...it's been the fashion that is holding my interest. And it should not be that way at all. 
    • I don't mind Jan either. If anything, they could be using her more to get her daughter's POV. Not to mention her role as one of the Have-Nots.    I also don't mind the local talent. Just look at soaps that were in NY or the shows that film there, they always go for the local talent and we get to find new faves. 
    • I'm not going to watch (because...well...that M-dude...lol) but knowing the history between Henry and Roger, I could see Henry wanting to enable Hart to stay independent of Roger. I could even see it as Henry having the last laugh at Roger. Roger hated "the Henry's" of the world, which basically meant anyone who had money and social prominence. Twice Roger swindled Henry out of a chunk of his fortune, so giving some to Hart, who hates his father, is a form of karma.
    • Ashley and Derek have to go- they really throw off the pace of the show.  Today was the first time I fast-forwarded through their scenes. The writing and acting is just bad for both characters.
    • Jon is stuck in a story that isn't popular but with Cady I feel like the issue is that she was clearly thrown in with no real purpose. I still don't understand why she pops up. I recall early on it being said she owned a spa but we've never seen it. That could've been an interesting location for people to meet. She also could've worked better as Smitty's mom, but instead we get this random agent of Dani's who pops up twice a month? A total waste. I mostly agree. I do feel like Jan could be elevated with a name soap actress, someone like Judi Evans or Kassie DePaiva comes to mind, but they're limited to who is in Atlanta. Keeping that in mind I think the current actress is fine. 
    • It's great to see. My thoughts might be a little different, but for the most part, I am excited and interested in most of the storylines. Yeah, you're right. This is probably how she (Dani) normally acts. And, I do not like it!  I agree; this is another distraction while she heals her wounds. If I weren't an Eva fan, she helped me root for her even more. As I said a month ago, I hope they take their time with her modeling agency. I would love to see her face a few obstacles before becoming a huge success.
