Where is everyone??? LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

There are no posts because:

1)everyone is shocked at what happened on today's episode

2) because their power was still out

3) because the clips have yet to be uploaded

My take on today's episode:

Rex and Gigi in the shower OH MY :wub: I really enjoyed how the shower scenes cut and broke to what was going on with Brody.

Brody in the shower with the "terminator landing on earth" naked pose OH MY :wub:

Marty and Todd kissing again Oh MY :o Was Todd walking Marty to the bed??!!

Get Natalie out of there & bring Viki back home!!!!!!!!!!!

Todd and Marty is disgusting. He is crazy bc thats the only thing that makes sense at this point. It started off being about revenge but I think he honestly believes that he and Marty have a future together. The guy is sick. He wants her SOLELY dependent on him. She has no contact with anyone outside of him and Janet. They are the only ones she trusts and thats how he wants to keep it. He feeds her his lies and he cant get the love and attention from Blair and his kids so he's using Marty to fill up that role. He has absolutely no social life and Marty is satisfying his need to interact with people. He's molding her into what he needs at the moment and its completely selfish and sick of him. He's going to screw her up bc he's created this false fantasy world that is going to eventually crumble down on both of them

I laughed when Tina fell. That was hilarious. Leave it to Tina to be a ditz, even when trying to be serious. Im glad she was able to tell Natalie whats up in her own way

I watched the Rex Sex in the Shower so many times I lost count. It made me forget that the rapist is kissing the woman he raped. I just went back and forth, back and forth and I just wanted to be that loofa.

The man is masculine beauty personified

Today wasn't half bad!!! I couldn't stop laughing at the shower scenes- talk about simulated sex scenes- I really don't like rex and Gigi- they kept looking at each other like it was their first time---puuleazzz!!!

I felt like the writers didn't know what to write for this couple and took an easy way out. I would have preferred a conversation with them working out Shane in their picture....Love that Gigi puts makeup on before Rex wakes up- slick, but you ain't foolin' no one.

I still have major probs with this show currently--but before people think I'm a grumpy OLTL fan who just has to make catty remarks in all the weekly threads I have to say--for whatever reason--I loved watching every moment of today's episode and no not just cuz of the shower scene (the gossip in me wonders if that's why EP Frank Valentini chose to direct this episode :P ) although seeing Brody and Rex side by side naked like that there's no comparison who I'd pick... But someone shoudl tell Brody not to trim his bosy hair quite so short. *ANYWAY* ahem What was the song used?

I haven't liked Rex much this past Summer but I am a fan of the character overall but yeah--I had to laugh when you said on here masculine beauty personified. He just comes off as so teenager or something to me--like a Ken doll with that body but I just can't think of him sexually.

I'm still so mixed on the Marty/Todd stuff but at least I found today sickly compelling--not just off putting like I did the cutesy piano bonding scenes. Yeah it's keeping me watching and interested--although you'd think Marty even in her mindframe would see as obvious Todd's tricks to manipulate her.

Although the "Jared scrounges around looking to see what's up in the basement scenes" are usually the kinda soap scenes I loathed even those didn't bug me much today...

Oh and another random about the shower scene--what a WEIRD bathroom the carrigae house has--all dark, masculine and modern and umm *dark* it really doesn't look like something I'd picture for it. *shrug*

I felt like today was the first time since her return that SH got a chance to actually act. I really enjoyed Marty getting frustrated with Todd and such. And I know I'm in the minority but I love this story, BECAUSE it's so wrong. Todd is my favorite character on OLTL, and I recognize what he's doing is sick. But I love it.

I am one of the most disgruntled OLTL fan (my therapist has repeatedly asked me to stop talking about the show and focus on myself). It's almost impossible for me to watch this show without turning it off in a hissy fit; and coming up with something nice to say about the show is like asking me to say something nice about Bush- but today was actually watchable--

HAHA well hey had sex in the afternoon--she already had the makeup on I think, though I tactually thought in my head that she shoulda removed it before the shower--that girl wears a LOT of eye makeup for daytime...

I agree they don't quit eknow hwo to write for the couple--it's meant to be a story about Shane yet, edespite talkignabout the boy so much, you still get a sense that they could care less--or something. I dunno what it is. (Also, I used to think Shane was a decent child actor but I've found him kinda obnoxious ever since he played SPencer in the past, lol. Seriously, even in grade 4 or whatever he's in no one in any class I was in would find a shark draw out of the map of the unites states hysterical :P )

Hahah good to hear--here I thought maybe I was just in a better mood when watching it so more tolerant or something ;) I guess--shower scene or not--Frank V is a good director and that prob played a part--oftne lately I get the feeling that the actors aren't given evnough guidance with how to play scenes

You discuss your soaps with your shrink? HAHAH I'm not sure if mine even knows I watch soaps... for some reason mentioning that would seem more silly or shameful than the things in my life we DO talk about--which prob says something right there lol

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
