OLTL: Discussion for the week July 28th-August 1st

[dragonflies]

Todd says he'd never hurt Marty(well the woman who's at his house)

GMAFB that's all he's doing

[Toups]

Funny scenes from today's ep:

Blair: "Does she know that you're a convicted rapist?"

Todd: "Did John tell you that you're nothing but a stand in for Marty Seabrooke?"

--------------------------

Hippy: "Are you straight, man?"

Rex: "EXCUSE ME?"

Hippy: "Are you straaaaaight......"

Rex: "Uhhhh.....yeah!!! He and I went to this bar this one time...."

Bo: "Ahhh...that's not what he means, Balsom."

Ohh...I wonder who the mysterious person is, the one who helped Antonio. Hmm......

Yeah, I didn't like the cell phone part. The story still has to be a little believable for my to "buy it," you know?

As a big Marty Saybrooke fan from the 90's, I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm beginning to enjoy this Marty/Todd/Blair/John story.

[Cheap21]

I think its time for Margaret to come back from the dead and be reunited with Todd. Now thats one chick that scared him and made him feel as weak as he's tried to make everyone else

[Vee]

I would rather gargle ground glass than watch Tari Signor act ever again.

[chrishntr]

Man, I do believe this is going to be a LONG few months of Tess, because I'm already tired of the witch. Guess my FF button will get a work out because I'm not to keen on watching her, that's for sure.

I really hope that even though Viki is saying goodbye to Charlie, she does let him know that when she comes back she is willing to give their relationship another chance, I really don't want him to feel dejected.

Felt really bad for Carlotta and it just makes me wonder exactly where they are going with this, is this the end of the diner? Carlotta? The Vega's?

Carlo and Tina are the ONLY reason I'm interested in this Mendorra storyline. I really liked Jonas in the beginning but now he's not shining for me anymore.

Wednesday was a good episode for me.

I finally got me some 1968 but I was not so groovy with all the 70's talk and MOE. OMG he looked horrible but it was laughable which I think was the whole point. I loved whoever that was that slapped Bo because he has no idea who and why she did it!!

I also loved John punching Todd!! TSJ's reaction to the punch was very realistic I had to keep rewinding it and laughed everytime.

I really wish Gigi would let down her wall and invite Brody in. At the same time I already see Brody trying to turn Gigi against Rex. Brody has a point though, Rex didn't say a word and left Gigi. Who is to say he would have stayed if he knew she was pregnant? Rex was an ass and a player when he first arrived, Gigi does not know his past. We know Gigi loved Rex but did Rex ever love Gigi? So many questions!

I was surprised Antonio was stabbed! Who took the knife out? Doesn't the cloaked person know you are not supposed to do that??!LOL

[leevo64]

I think that was Christian in the cloak. I know the Mendorra story is campy but I love soap adventure stories and this one is just right. I love that it's turning Talia into a real leading lady. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think this was a great way for Tina to return. Once she comes back to Llanview and begins interacting with other characters it's going to be even better.

This Marty story is making Todd look so pathetic.

[jinx_avery]

I'd sooner believe an "Okie from Muskogee" backwater like Paris, Texas had cell towers than a cadre of Haight-Ashbury hippies in 1968. Or that the starving and destitute in Africa care about some rich socialite from the States coming to lecture them about organ transplants.

[dragonflies]

Who's to say he wouldn't have stayed? Honestly I like Brody but wished he would have just STFU yesterday, he's acting like he knows all

[rhythmchyc]

I immediately thought it was Christian too. It has to be. He was covered up, as if he were trying to hide from the guards.

<Ahem>

AND CAN FRIGGIN TESS DO US ALL A FAVOR AND KILL NATALIE AND ESPECIALLY JARED ALREADY!!! THOSE TWO NEED TO BURN IN HELL!!!!! FIRE AND BRIMSTONE ON THEIR ASSES!!!

[rhinohide]

Tess needs to die first. I really haven't been enjoying Bree's performances at all lately. I am so ready for this story to move. Natalie and Viki sitting there coddling her is getting on my last nerve.

[chrishntr]

Oh. My. God. That got on my nerves yesterday. I'm hoping that it all backfires on Tess, I really am.

[rhythmchyc]

I totally stepped and squashed on your couple, rhinohide. Sorry.

I'm just not over what they did to the Buchanans and how neither paid for it. WTF is that about?? and Natalie blackmailing her dad for a dude that she doesn't even really know who blackmailed her sister and her husband in the first place? NO MORE OF THOSE TWO, PLEASE!!

Agreed on Bree's performance.

Spent Sunday afternoon catching up on the OLTL I've missed since I briefly switched over to ATWT-- back in the good ol' days-- (LOVED LOVED LOVED Dorian leading Vicki into the secret room in '84 at Llandfair when she turns into Nicki, briefly). Anyway, Erin was so much more subtle, so much more fleshy than Bree is, even as the ho-hum Jessica. The scene when she leaves the show, weeping at the airport with Vicki: although it isn't comparable to Nash dying at all, and the reasoning behind her leaving was definitely more contrived, it was a lot more emotional. Erin really brings more to the table than Bree does, who's more obvious with her choices.

There were other scenes, like when Jessica finds out that Natalie is her twin and Erin's all trying to be bitchy and whatnot, and her acting is subpar. But, then again, she wasn't supposed to stand out in those scenes anyway, as they belonged to Natalie and Vicki. On the other hand, when she finds out she's Mitch Laurence's daughter, that was yet another great exhibition of her talents. Subtle, but very real.

Anyway, I would've loved to have seen what Erin would've done with Tess. I guess we'll never know.
