Did Tess ever care for Viki?

It makes sense to me that she wouldn't. Tess is the part of Jess that needs to be angry for what happened to her. I'm sorry, but what person wouldn't be angry with a mother who put them in a situation were they were raped? Jess knows that Vikki didn't mean for it to happen and that it was because of her own sickness. But Tess is the part of Jess that can never forgive that. I think that makes much more sense than Jessica being able to forgive completely.

If people want to say that the original rewrite of Jess's happy childhood sucks then I can understand that, but since it was rewritten, Jess compartmentalizing her anger towards Vikki seems logical to me. I agree that these scenes are being written and acted without the proper gravitas.

Dorian is so deliciously evil and she knows how to push all of Viki's buttons. AND, she's a hell of a liar. Gosh..Monday can't get here soon enough...

What a way to end the week. Will be on the edge of my seat waiting for Monday.

Is it bad that I sort of hope an 11 year old disowns his mother when he finds out that Rex is his real father.

I've have no respect for that man. He's not a journalist, he's just a whiny little bitch who's got a couple of connections and a blog.

I agree 100%.

LMAO can Nelson get any more petty? Just STFU already, you whiny you know what

I thought today was a great epi. Love how RC takes his secrets and layers them with different people. I wonder if Charlie will tell Rex now that he knows Shane is his son or will he respect the confidence of AA and keep it to himself. Also, with the Mandora plot wrapping up, I can't wait for everyone to come home to Llanview. That Tina/Viki scene is going to rock, especially with the fall out of the s/l and Carlo added to the mix. I hope RC finds a way to keep Thom Christpher around. He adds something to the show that's been lacking since Phil Careys exit.

I loved today's show; however the Mendorra storyline is not working AT ALL! Its laughable. That being said, Dorian and Viki were classic. Dorian telling Viki that she slept with Charlie despite it not being true is so twisted. I love it! I also thought the AA scenes were done well and thought the actor who plays Brody did a respectable job. I do not, however, believe that nobody would challenge Charlie on his suspicions about his recent "binge"

Well it looks like Nelson at TV Guide Canada is over his love of OLTL :sigh: Man that guy is hard to please

He irks me! Sometimes I think he just says things for the shock value. And I've never seen a critic whine so much! He's pissed because he wasnt invited to the 40th anniversary party.

Nelson Branco is a bipolar little princess who, even when he was praising the show, I didn't pay any attention to. If they tell him his invitation got lost in the mail he'll change his tune. He wears his neuroses and personal insecurities on his sleeve so much in his supposedly-professional work that it's impossible for anyone to take him remotely seriously, or properly account for some of the many valid things he's said about daytime recently, because it's all mired in his personal petty bitchery, and his private Internet and magazine feuds. That Connie P./Marlena Delacroix swipe was particularly shitty. What was the point of that?

Well said!

Hey no actor bashing on SON.

It's almost as if Nelson thinks what he says will sway the fans. He figures all of OLTL's acclaim has been because HE said some good things about it, and now he wants everyone to hate it.

Well, that being said... THIS SHOW IS AMAZING. I think the show's heightened reality is really good. I don't mind Madame Delphina and I really can't wait for the time travel story, because they are sharply written and don't take themselves too seriously. And it's not like that's all there is to watch on the story. The Starr/Cole/Todd/Blair/Marty/John/Michael/Marcie story is BRILLIANT, and the Viki/Charlie story is really well written too. I can't wait to see what Ron does next.

I really don´t get the Emmys this year.One Life best scrips but not best show? Huh? Come again? I think it´s the best soap currently on air.With so much bad story gone the good has finally come back to the show.

ITA -- RC is proving to be very, very good at weaving lots of characters into peripheral storylines; Charlie came to Llanview looking for Jared, and in the hands of most writers his story might have extended to Viki (and maybe Gigi, who he already knew from Texas) and gone no further. With Ron, Charlie got involved with Dorian, Roxy, and Rex, and his relationships with all of those other characters have paid off beautifully story wise.

AMEN! Please let all this Mendora nonsense end as quickly as possible. I have to wonder what Andrea Evans thinks of the way they have handled her return-- she's been stuck in an awful storyline with a bunch of actors she never even met before (except maybe Thom? Was he on the show before AE left?)
