Yup. But at least Viki is thinking about Charlie. Was that a new scene they shot for that flashback?

I will jump on the hate Tess bandwagon. The murder part and the total lack of caring for Viki is a total turnoff.

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.

Asa

These Bo and Asa scenes are a nice surpise

Carlavati is writing Tess into a corner.

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.

David is hilarious!! "I used all the money from Addie's purse to pay off the driver!"

I agree. The best part of today's show by far.

I'm really heartbroken at the tone this Tess/Natalie/Jared story is taking on. I was really excited for it when it started.

Carlavati is writing Tess into a corner.

Hmmm, maybe he's doing it on purpose?

I will NEVER believe that, that [!@#$%^&*] happened. It came from the pen of a very deranged writer.

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.

Great scenes with these two! Phil Carey can still bring it.

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.

Carlavati is writing Tess into a corner.

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 thought of that, maybe he is doing it intentionally

That story is gonna come back into play. No way Carlivati is going to drop that!

Poisioning the food! Such a Jim Reilly move.

I disagree, the Tess stuff ruined Viki and Clint as parents, parents who were always making sure that Viki's DID never hurt their children. I find it one of the most offense rewrites on OLTL ever.
