The production team KILLS One Life to Live, every.single.time. And that wouldn't be such a big problem if the cast was generally great, but there are too many inconsistent, and mediocre performers who often falter (even with good writing). However, there are those rare moments when OLTL gets it right.

bree is love.

I think I have 4 "It's not Bree's fault." I tend to think you guys must be right. I asked the question at another board where Bree is not considered love, and I was completely ignored. I think they might have swarmed if they could have pinned it on her. I think it's a combination. She's probably being directed to be over the top and campy, but I don't think that's her forte (thank gawd she stopped crying though). The end result is pure silliness. I really am disappointed in the story. The silliness depletes the drama. Was hoping for some high drama and character development. Hoping something about the characters would be revealed. Hoping Natalie and Jared might have a discussion about how she felt when she lost Cristian and later John. How those losses affected her. She and Jared seem to know the details about each other's histories through second hand sources. Jared read Natalie's biography and thinks he knows all there is. But he was surprised to learn that Alison was the one who told her about the Buchanan's. This was a missed opportunity (at least so far) to allow Jared and Natalie to have some of those conversations that would make their relationship deeper for the audience. Instead we hear them talking about forgiveness all the time and their solution is to become obsequious, bending entirely to Jessica's will.

I think Chuck acting like it was no big deal that drunk Bo showed up and didn't even bother ringing the doorbell might be my favorite part. The day players have really made a big difference on the show of late. While I wish people like Roxy and Miles and Layla were getting that much screentime. I have to say, the way these characters (Delphina, Noelle, Mo, Chuck) are being used really adds some interest to the show.

PC and RSW were awesome. My heart broke for Bo.

I heard a rumor (spoilered for Toupsie)

that one of the two returning leading ladies is being written out right now and is slated for exit in November.

If you could choose only one keeper, who would it be? Susan Haskell/Marty or Andrea Evans/Tina? One of them has to go (in my world, lol).

The ending yesterday was so good, classic soap opera cliffhanger. I'm really excited to see what happens today.

AIN'T THAT A QUESTION!

I like them both and think they could both offer a lot to the show. Knowing the climate of daytime, Haskell would be the keeper. She was a presenter at the Emmys, the one the network was showing off. Evans, unfortunately due to her age, would be the one to not keep.

Personally I think that's a shame. In a perfect world I'd keep both. And I myself could think of a million Tina stories to write, but I couldn't come up with that many Marty stories to write. The Cole/Starr baby will give lots of levels to play, so they could derive stuff from that. But if it were me writing and I could only keep one, I'd keep Tina. But I think ABC as it is now, would keep Marty.

It's just a rumor. Don't get excited. :)

Why does it seem like Tina has been wearing the same dress since she returned?
