We are on the same wavelength! Tina and Cord....I never thought I'd live to see the day Evans and Loprieno played those two in the same scene again! And as for Tess, can I just say I love revenge plots? LOL! Regarding Todd and Mary....HATED it and the thought of it at the beginning, but the actors are making it work!

Well I guess that makes three of us. I really thought putting Todd in this mess would only further the destruction of his character, but I find myself sympathizing with him and I DONT KNOW WHY! And then I think about the moment Marty's memory comes back and she realizes what he has done to her and I hate him all over again. I only hope the show gets back on its feet before then and gives us the pay off we deserve.

Yes, the day Marty's memory returns will be quite a day!

What's hooking me on this story is (and I don't believe I am gonna say this) is Trevor St. John's performance. Is Todd just messing with Marty, or is he beginning to feel something? It's hard to tell and it's that dichotomy that's reeling me in!

John and Blair are very cute, I love Todd and Marty (TSJ ad SH are great in their scenes), KDP has chemistry with EVERYONE, I enjoy the Llanfair group scenes, but I wish they would make Jared a little bit more clever. He was not that naive when he first showed up.

As for Antonio wanting to return to Mendorra, can we please not mention this place again for a while?

As I said before, I feel like I need to take a shower after watching the Todd/Marty scenes, but I'm really enjoying the story. Trevor St. John and Susan Haskell have amazing chemistry, and I don't think they're even playing the scenes as romantic.

*takes shower*

This is a day late, but I just watched yesterday's show, and WOW, was it endless. That has to be the longest episode of OLTL I've ever sat through. An entire episode of Tina acting like a fifteen year old, and endless scenes of Clint and Nora just setting up the Cord/Tina reunion (can someone explain why Cord and Tina are acting like Cole and Starr, and not acting like two grown adults?), and half an episode of Tessica/contractor scenes (?!?!) and Antonio and John saying silly "we're just killing time in this set before we go to Rodi's" dialogue about John going to Mendorra (Isn't this story over yet?!).

And I'm a fan of the Marty/Todd story, but even those stories went nowhere.

What a filler day.

    • Did I ever say that? I actually don't want to, but I have no problem doing so when I feel it's truly warranted. Case in point. I'll be more respectful about how you're involving yourself in these kind of discussions when you consider doing the same. Believe me when I tell you the way you attempt to dress up this attitude has placated no one, and this is not a minority forum opinion. It is easy enough, for example, to simply say that "I think many of us have underrated JFP's skills as a woman producer in an overly misogynistic industry". It's a lot easier than spending paragraph after paragraph amusedly shaking one's head while talking down to the clueless proles of SON about their blinkered, reductive opinions. And yes, I am saying that many of us have spoken up crediting Phelps for the skills she obviously has as a technical whiz and line producer. There's nothing out of turn about acknowledging that many posters know where she excelled. Or talking about where she clearly (for many of us) didn't. You don't have to agree, but you could try listening to someone other than yourself.
    • It’s a recurring tension in Daytime: the willingness to take risks can fuel a show's longevity, but the actresses themselves often bear the long-term consequences of audience backlash.
    • I pray Eva never lets Dana back into her life, because she deserves better. Dana isn't a mother, nor is she a parent.
    • Daphnee's performance very much reminded me of Anna Holbrook's on Another World when Sharlene was dealing with John and Felicia's affair. Angry but well controlled and believable. A good start for an Emmy reel. If there is one thing an evil Black mother is going to do, it is lock you out the house. Eva shouldn't have even bothered to go home.  Leslie calling Martin "Mr. President" was interesting. How much exactly does she know about the family and has someone higher up sent her to cause trouble? Anita's speech to Leslie was dignified like Geraldine Whitney (EON) or Kim Hughes (ATWT) would have gone off on somebody.
    • Thanks for posting this, fascinating read. It's clear how ambivalent Wyndham is about Justine. IMO, it reads like she agrees that the end of the storyline was bad, but reading between the lines I think she thought she was doing good work for the meat of it....which was not the case. As bad as the writing for most of that story was, it was truly made worse by her embarrassing performance. After the story concluded she kept falling back into Justine ticks, when she wasn't phoning he scenes in. Not to play Freud, but was it to tr*ll her critics?  
    • I better hear "The Emmy goes to Ambyr Michelle" come Emmy time lol
