From Soap Opera Digest Online:

Ty Treadway returns to ONE LIFE TO LIVE as Colin MacIver (who died by the way) to host a game show called "SO YOU THINK YOU CAN BE SHANE MORASCO'S FATHER".

"The dream sequence, which airs Oct 1-2, focuses on Rex and his not-so-good life as he is on the operating table being treated for a gun wound. The sequences were filmed on ABC's WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE set."

Ugh.....why do I have the deep feeling, this isn't going to be good at all. What is RC's problem, where the hell is the social storylines that made OLTL. Where are the real storys, that have emotion and depth..not this campfest OLTL has turned into. And don't get me wrong, I LOVE camp (Passions super-fan here) but camp has a time and a place on OLTL, and ITS HAD ITS TIME AND PLACE for the past 3 months.

Get back to the real storylines RC.

P.S: I want Ty back for "real reals, not for play play" (Im sure no one gets this reference lol).

I think what's happening here is a personality shift on the part of the show. RC has been on board a year minus the strike and now he's had time to make the show look the way he wants it too. He's apparently decided that he wants the show to have a camp factor. It sounds like its going to be a fairly consistent part of the the show. People who aren't interested in that kind of soap are going to chafe and re-evaluate whether they want to watch that kind of show.

ITA. We had a taste of it last year when Marcie had to disguise herself as a drag queen.

And wasn't Nuns on the Run about that time too? Along with Nora and Lindsay rolling around on the floor at the Go Red ball. I know some of that was scab writing but that's a lot of camp/comedy/over the top stuff in a short time.

Is this RC or some of the last stuff Tomlin wrote before he left for Days? From what I understand, Tomlin is the King of Camp, second only to Reilly.

Is that you, All My Shadows? Nooo, no, no... I won't get into another discussion with you no matter what. If I wanted total disrespect and total, intentional misinterpretation of what has been said, then I would. I don't want that kind of radioactive toxicity around me. I had one "discussion" with you and I don't need another one. You don't like my post — I don't like your attitude. There. Settled.

How about me? I disagree with what you said, too. Does it have to be all or nothing?

Wow. Way to do everything but answer the question at hand.

And thanks. I've never been referred to as "radioactive toxicity" before.

Is this what's known as a "dubious distinction?"

LOL! How long will it be until we see a portal to Hell showing up in Starr's closet? She gets pulled in by demons and it's up to Cole to get her out. Hmmm....where have I seen this before?

I am not enjoying in the fact that OLTL is sinking faaast in terms of quality, I'm enjoying in the fact that you were all so wrong when it comes to Carlivati! All that praise, I laugh every time I recall all those delirious floods of positive comments and all.

To each his own? What?

I'm with you...I called this one over 6 months ago, when the Go Red was being played out for sweeps. I also called out Gigi during the same month as being a downhill character. He's not the worst writer, he just wasn't a guy that should've been head writing past the strike- not fired, just a new person appointed to sit second chair. I think his cleanup was good, but I noticed he cleaned the show up to the point in time that he probably started watching/writing. He writes how he thinks and the emotion is all gone.

As for the positive comments- I took them for hope since we can't judge by what people don't do- his ride up until Christmas was a decent cleanup- but he has not one original thought in his file cabinet.

when Andrea Evans returned with that ridiculous s/l I thought to myself- Passions is getting canceled. Maybe he wants to lure those numbers to OLTL. Make them think the magic of Passions can be seen on OLTL---

Didn't passions first air in the summer and picked up a multitude of loyal fans in OLTL's target demographic? As a person over 21- I'm obviously not in his target demographic.
