BO AND LINDSAY!!!!!!! So nice seeing Cat Hickland again... besides playing Olympia, I mean.

I love mixing up characters who don't usually interact, so John and Tess should be fun. And rhinohide, I agree. A fun, flirtier John is much appreciated. It's just the constant sex-talk I'm over... I much preferred the John and Blair scenes on the rooftop.

Tina's "You are my full brother" was a little silly. Who talks like that? All the exposition about who's related to whom ("I'm the aunt she hates") was tough to get through. I really wanted more out of Todd and Tina's first scenes. And don't even get me started on Cristian and Sarah talking to Antonio and Talia while they were in bed like it was nothing.

LOL! It's actually kind of funny when you think about it. How often is it necessary to clarify sibling relationships, except on a soap? Granted irl there are step siblings, and half siblings, but generally when you call someone your brother/sister it's just assumed you're full siblings. But on soaps? I mean twin sisters from different biological fathers . . . just for starters?

LOVED Bo and Lindsay. That's the OLTL I want back.

And that Carlo/Jonas ending... come on. Really? Could they make Carlo any more of a joke? I hated the prison break story with a passion, but at least Carlo felt like a threat back then. Now he's just a buffoon.

Yeah, but I don't understand. This is the guy that sent Sarah down a waterfall to her death, had Antonio stabbed and left for dead, forced Talia and Antonio apart, not to mention what he's done to Cristian time and time again... and the worst revenge they could get on him is to make him look gay on global TV?

Clearly I'm in the minority on this one, so I'll back down. :) Just my humble opinion.

I loved Todd and Tina.

The Mendorra resolution is silly but so was the whole story, why not end it with a flourish?

I thought it was nice to hear Rex and Gigi had yet to sleep together again; RC makes a point of drawing out the build to intimacy with new couples, and I think it diluted their "smug" factor.

Im glad they are finally getting back to Lindsay. Im glad it looks like Bo isnt still mad at her. it was sad when he told her good luck as she was looking for some hope

Finally a Todd/Tina scene! That was an interesting dynamic and I hope they interact more.

I think you missed the point. Creating a gay scandal automatically gives Talia a claim to an annulment as well as nullify's Jonas' claim to the Mendorra throne. It wasnt so much about Carlo. It was dumb but like the 1968 stuff, Im glad its over

I didnt see anything wrong with it. She could have said "You are my brother" but she added the full in there to emphasize they have a stronger connection as despite the fact that there have been numerous Lord offspring, they are each other's only full siblings. I use the phrase myself. I only have 1 full sibling and a bunch of halfs. When talking to people, I often distinguish my sister as my sole full sibling and refer to the others as halfs. Im closest to the full and while Tina may not be to hers, that was the point she was trying to emphasize

It was a love/hate thing. She originally didnt like him bc he being a Lord heir meant that he'd get a piece of her own inheritence and since Victor Lord favored men over the women, that was a sizeable chunk that Todd took from her. She eventually lightened up on him and while they were never close like he adn Viki are, they tolerated each other and got along. They were a fun dysnfunctional brother/sister combo. Most of their arguing was bc of Blair bc Tina hated her and hated Todd with her. It was bad enough that Todd would be getting her money, but being married to Blair, meant that she'd be getting it too and Tina saw her for the gold digger she was and tried to break them up which caused problems for them. Here's a clip of their last scene from 1997

I know. It's really bad. He's going to screw up his relationship with both Jess and Vikki. I wonder if they will ever forgive him for this, especially if something happens to Natalie or the baby because Tess is out. Plus Todd should have put the pieces together and realized that Tess cut Nat's breaks. Tess and Todd are all kinds of hot though.

    • 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
