^^^^^^^^^This story was stupid and dumb from the getgo. Just be glad its over

Loved Tess with Todd today and how got him to keep quiet about her. He truly is a bstard bc instead of getting Jess the help she needs, he's going to keep quiet to protect himsef

HAH! No argument from me there.

John and Blair are starting to get a little too "horny teenager" for me. It was really cute and sexy the first night, but I'm lookin' for some growth here.

Tess and Todd are great, but I still wish Bree would pull back on the eyes. It's SO over-the-top.

And I get the whole Iraq comparison with 'Nam, but was that last scene today REALLY necessary? I didn't take ANY of the 1968 story as some kind of message about war, no matter how many times they tried to shoehorn it into the story.

I don't mean to be so whiny about the show. I know it's infuriating to some, the negativity. I was over-the-moon positive about OLTL for months there... so I'm probably taking the change in tone a little too personally. LOL!

Thank God the 1968 storyline is over and I have a HUGE problem with Rex forgiving Gigi so easily about lying to him about Shane but yet he can't forgive Charlie and Roxy. WTFEver Rex!!

It's sick. Just sick that I like the chemistry between Todd and Tess. I can't wait for the day that Marty gets her full memory back, it's going to be (or I sure as hell hope it will be).

I enjoyed today's episode.

I am happy 1968 is over but happy the truth was FINALLY revealed. I thought Farah did a good job but JPL should have been more upset. Although Rex and Gigi both forgave one another I think Gigi will recieve the brunt of the anger from Shane when they FINALLY tell him the truth.

I enjoyed the Blair and John scenes, I thought they were light hearted and fun. Tess/Todd/Marty scenes were pretty good to.

Mendorra continues to bug me but I think it is the acting that bugs me the most. Carlo I love the rest BLECH!

I guess Mendorra was supposed to be a joke but it has been going on for too long. The only good thing that came out of it was Tina's return and one of the bad things is that Thalia lost her credibility as a character (I guess she will return to being a cop after spending some time as princess of a small counry :huh: ). I liked her a lot as a down-to-earth character..

Todd and Tess are extremely sexy together. My kinky alter ego Ilsa would love a triangle between Tess-Todd-Marty. :D However Tess should be less like Jan Spears and more like a vixen.

Blair has done wonders for the character of John by the way. I think he is very cute now.

Gigi should have taken some fashion tips from Emma before she left 1968.

PS: I will miss you Olympia Buchanan..

I thought ti was meant to look silly, almsot like a farce but that's (yet) ANOTHER problem witht his story for me. Are we meant to feel ANY danger? Is it meant to be as silly as it is with them all sneaking into the castle so easily cuz of some book yet Talia couldn't figure out a way out?

"And I get the whole Iraq comparison with 'Nam, but was that last scene today REALLY necessary? I didn't take ANY of the 1968 story as some kind of message about war, no matter how many times they tried to shoehorn it into the story. "

Yeah this kinda left a bad mouth in my taste too. So they took a completely nonsensical, silly story, and now are implying it was some sort of statement about Vietnam being like the current war? Or was it not meant to be that controversial and just meant to be all patriotic and honour the American troups? or WHAT? And the actor who play's Bo's son, playing Bo, was cute I guess but he sure didn't inherit any of his father's natural aacting talent.

Now I wonder if there'll be ANY long term effects of that story besides the secret revealed. Is David still somewhere fading in and outin front of mirrors? Time travelw as some sort of bizarre karmic "lesson" to force Gigi to tell the truth and umm for Bo to realize he should be happy not to be like Asa?

ummmm... well as long as no similar lessons are forced on other characters...

Is there some unwritten rule I'm not aware of that we're only allowed to post if we gush? I am with you brimike. I loved the show up to Nash's funeral, since then I've been bored out of my mind.

Oh good JP! It's not just me.

Considering he's not speaking to HIS mother for lying about his own paternity, and he wanted to divorce his wife before they even made it to the honeymoon for a relatively minor fib about bringing Brody to town to run interference with Gigi -- yeah it's just a tad hypocritical. They've taken a couple (Rex and Gigi) and two characters I was really warming up to, and they've made them repugnant to me. And there's no end in sight.

I do like John lighter and flirtier. It's a shame they've waited so long to write this John. I don't even mind that it compromises the integrity of the character, because the character's integrity sucks, so it should be compromised. But I genuinely hate this story. Is it necessary for Blair to become John's sex toy? I mean she takes her rings off and talks about letting go of Todd, and John once again really has nothing to share except "Mike's working tonight" so basically enough with all this talk that makes me uncomfortable, let's go back to my place and screw? Nothing really new there, same old John, except they're allowing him to be fun, and they could have done that anytime over the last five years. It just proves to me what a waste this character has been all this time.

    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
    • Why do I feel like (or remember possible

    • A number of errors in the above article. You wonder how with all that research,how  they slipped through. I think they are conflating Women Alone with Lonely Women. I have never read anything of a serial called Women Alone. However,I am prepared to be proven wrong.   It seems Irna actually WAS interested in TV soaps as witnessed by These Are My Children airing in 1949 on NBC in the early days of TV.   I don't believe that was reluctance, rather simply good business sense as radio's dominance began to wane.   Inferring that was somehow connected to Irna who was off that show 10 years prior.   Again inferring that Phillips leaving 6 years prior had some connection to the eventual cancellation.     Again these two events are in fact one. Irna left ATWT only once in 1970 and returned in 72. She was not working on another P&G show at the time. So either she brought the ratings up or they dipped, depending on which above account you believe   Untrue. A World Apart debuted 5 years after she left AW. And AWA aired longer than a few months. Over a year in fact.   I believe Orin Tovrov was the writer. Irna was not involved in the creation of this show. And no mention of Masquerade an Irna serial  which was on air around this time.   TBD finished in 1962. As we see over and over, these inaccuracies are published and accepted as fact.
    • YES! While I objectively found the writing on RH (particularly during its first few years and then again in its final days) to be excellent, so many of the principle characters were unpleasant, and totally turned me off. I could never settle down and become emotionally involved with a group of people who grated on my nerves.
    • Ugh now we get a Emmerdale and Corrie crossover soon. ugh.. How desperate 
    • This show is definitely not one to deserve the axe.  especially the New Year’s Eve episode was crazy wild! there is a place where u can download nearly all episodes from October 2019 til today. But they don’t accept new people. https://youtu.be/aD-IXEJjymU?si=19wtpwthSNYOe-4y   this is from this years winter break when the returned. I loved it
