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?

The Mendorra storyline was just redeemed for me. Absolutely brilliant. The best part was Tina eating those ice cream bites and saying "Guess Carlo learned a few things in prison!"

LOL, I totally agree. This was the perfect ending for it.

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.

And they weren't just in bed together. Carlo had his arm around Jonas. :lol::lol:

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

Tina's "You are my full brother" was a little silly. Who talks like that?
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

What was their relationship like?
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

Tina tells Todd the truth that he's her brother. LOVE the background music:

Oh, I got it. It just didn't seem like something Antonio and Cristian Vega would do. Maybe something Carlivati would do... but not something the Vega's would do.

I agree it was just dumb - SO glad it's over

^^^^^^^^^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

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.
