Brittany in a bikini = great episode. I do like Langston/Markko as well, though I can't wait for Langston to 'show age' and interact with the non-teenage set.

I'm glad we're through with 1968 but I'm not digging the Tess storyline so I haven't been watching as much. I did dig Todd slapping Tess and trying to get to Jessica. Todd may be an ass, but it's moments like that that make him likeable, even amidst this Marty disaster.

The Markko stuff was funny. Im glad to see more of a personality from him

Tina's commentary during the Mendorra press conference wa hilarious. I loved her being disgusted at the sight of a naked Carlo but was opening up her fingers so she could see through them

So now Todd physically assults a pregnant woman. Was it necesary for him to slap Tess and shove her up against a wall while struggling with her. He does realize she's pregnant right, not that it would matter since he's no stranger to using violence against women. This was done to get Jess out but if he truly cared about her, he'd have her committed and let her doctors fix her. He only cares about saving his own skin

To quote Natalie: "But she's sixteeeeeeen, Jared!!!!!!"

I agree, though. I like Langston and Markko so much now as a teen couple because they aren't Starr and Cole. It's an unwritten rule that the "leading" teen characters have to be the dumbasses who make idiotic decisions (unprotected sex, "running away together," keeping pregnancies secret, letting your father's enemy adopt your kid, poorly staged musical theatre, etc). I'd only take Lang and Mark as leads if they were written as they are now.

Buttttttt, until then, I'm all for having them interact with the older characters. I like the idea of Langston becoming involved in this Clint/Dorian rivalry, so that works. Markko will (and should) probably be a supporting role in this, but I'd like to see some kind of conflict in their relationship somewhere down the line (conflict that enables to get back to-fricken-gether though!).

If he had brought Jess back she almost certainly would have told people about what he's doing to Marty, so I think he does care about more than himself. But he's not a good guy, so I don't expect him to go so far as telling everyone the truth so that Tess will blow his scheme sky high. It would have been great if Todd did tell Natalie the truth and then Tess convinced everyone that she's Jess and he was only trying to have her committed to save his own skin and keep Marty hidden. :lol:

I loved everything about Thursday's episode. I am sorry for those who do not like OLTL but I am enjoying it. I also watched GH and DOOL all this week and have found both of those shows borrrring. zzzz

Tess and Todd going at it was fun. I loved when Todd slapped her and tried to bring Jessica out and she played him. Being new to the show, I had no idea about Todd's previous alter's but still found it funny when she called him Rodd and all the other names.

Bo and John were too cute. The friendship and respect they showed today was really great, especially the smiles at the end.

Rex/Gigi/Mo/Noelle were also fun to watch. I was happy Moe lectured Rex and was protecting Gigi's about Rex being married. I loved Gigi's reaction to Moe's "Kiss it Gigi" in the end, adorable. I was always wondering what Psychic Delfina meant by "I hope she says NO" when she first arrived in Texas with Gigi. Now I know she was referring to Moelle/Noelle's engagement.

It was good to see Jared and Natalie again. I loved the quick edits between them and Langston/Markko "geraldo" Rivera with 2 K's :lol:

It was also fun to see Charlie and Carlotta. So does this mean Charlie will rebuild the Bonjour? This is speculation on my part going off the next scene showing the Bonjour take-out bag.

Mendorra, never cared for it, there were a couple of great one liners today but I am glad it is over.

Did I miss anything? WOW it seemed like so much happened today to wrap up storylines and begin new ones. GREAT EPISODE

    • 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
