What the hell is this Marcie crap??

The girl can sing, but this is not a musical. Who busts out in full legit voice singing a monologue song like that? Then again, this is OLTL, stranger things have happened. OLTL, the sci-fi musical soap.

^ Haha, aww. I loved it! Had Marcie been in a room with other people, then yes, I would have said that's a little cheesy like a musical or something. But she was in the nursey by herself. People sing outloud when they're alone. I know I do. :lol: If I only had a good voice. LOL!

What a great episode to start off the week. I loved the entire episode from start to finish. So many layers and so much to comment on I don't know where to start.

I really enjoyed the Dorian and Addie scenes. RS did a great job displaying the shock over Rex being shot.

Jerry ver Dorn is nailing each and every scene as Evil Clint. His scenes with Cole had me on the edge of my seat, I honestly didn't know what Clint was going to do when Cole confronted him.

All in all the scenes on Llantano Mountain were done very well. I have to say I was not to sure about whether or not watch Brody's breakdown on screen at first when I read about it in the spoilers. However, I must confess that I was glued to my screen during each and every moment as it played out. I hope the story continues to play out and this is not the last we see of Brody. I got the chills during Brody's scenes in jail. Very creepy.

I'm loving Bo's involvement with what's going on with Rex/Gigi.

I like how realistic they are writing Marcie and Michael these days. The writers are slowly trying to put these two together. I also loved the fact that OLTL decided to have Kathy Brier sing instead of the original artist. I think it was a very wise choice production wise and enhanced alot of the scenes.

There wasn't much I didn't like about today's episode, even the production/directing was up to par. Good job OLTL.

I liked the episode, too. how ironic that Dorian is in a jail cell across from Brody--the guy she imported to break up Adriana and Rex--because of Ray--the guy Clint imported to get even with Dorian. I hope they plan to continue the Clint vs Dorian feud for a long, long time.

I thought Brody was great in his few scenes today, and I was happy that Addie stopped to tell him he could heal. I could be wrong, but I'm thinking that was a hint to the audience that the writers plan to keep him around and redeem him.... if they were writing him out, it seems like he would have been carted away from the mountain and never shown again

You have to accept a lot of unreaslistic things when watching a soap and while I did roll my eyes I thought it (Marcie's singing) was beautiful. Great song and montage.

The kid who plays Dorian's nu-daughter is not very good, but still I like this little story, how very Asa-like of Clint. Evul!

    • Wait - so no Will, Jack, or Jen at John's funeral? That’s just weird. What was the point of bringing them back then? Did Julie and Maggie even show up? I mean, seriously.

      . Thank you @cityofllanview for digging deep and finding this @longjohnsilvers commercial from 2000. If anyone feels inclined to dig deep and find more, I’d greatly appreciate it!!!!   https://www.instagram.com/p/DKX9m3ytGIw/ cityofllanview and theonlydaphneeduplaix Now we know Thursday ain't here but here is a Flashback to @longjohnsilvers commercial from 2000 featuring the amazing @theonlydaphneeduplaix make sure to catch her as Nicole on @beyondthegatescbs Weekdays at 2pm on @cbstv and streaming on @paramountplus.                    
    • Full statement from city of Glendale https://www.glendaleca.gov/Home/Components/News/News/9293/16
    • Has anyone ever totted up how many women on GL slept with both father and son(s)? Reva gets a lot of crap for it but she's far from the only one: Claire Beth Blake Olivia Dina Did I miss anyone?  Also, did Reva ever sleep with Phillip? They always had some "closeness" thing, but I don't know if they ever actually did the deed. If they did, then Reva's the clear winner, with TWO families covered, lol!  
    • I think Long was probably planning to have Claire suffer from Post Partum, but she left the writing staff shortly after Claire had Michelle so that element didn't get explored. And I always assumed that when Claire returned in the late 90s/early 00s.. that she was realizing that she messed up by not staying a part of Michelle's life and became resentful/bitter over her previous choices.  That was my theory.  
    • Jenn was a huge part of the success of Days back in the day, and that contribution shouldn't be dismissed.  With that said, I do think her and Jack's time on the show should remain as occasional visits/drop ins. When Missy returns to play Jenn, Jenn is back to being Jenn.   Jenn in her glory days was head strong, fiesty, and was a live wire.... and her scenes with Jack on Friday was classic Jenn with Jack being the voice of reason.   It was the foundation of their relationship back in the day.    
    • Claire was always tightly wound, I think what Long was going to do is to throw the three into this impossible situation with no bad guys, Mo, knowing how to take care of kids from growing up but unable to conceive and Claire, who didnt know how to take care of kids and was totally focused on her career, gets knocked up.  Ryder took Claire off the deep end as a convenient way to make story for characters he wasnt interested in (though Pratt blames McTavish) with little effort. It was later explained to be a brain tumor (though why was she a bitch again when she returned?) \ Claire did sleep with Rick, she was his first!
    • I'm sorry, truly I am, but this literally made me LOL. Tempting fate, much?

    • Oh, I have very little doubt that Missy feels some way personally and privately.  Donna was just saying she actively spoke out against Days in public in reference to the gay storylines, which she did not. I don't have super strong feeling about Jen one way or another.  She was always a side character to me.  I still think Missy is Jen regardless of her stupid beliefs.
    • I hated the swap-over; Clayton Norcross, to me, was far superior in the role of Thorne than Jeff Trachta ever was. And the recast left me disliking Thorne when he was the superior son to me. As for Teri Ann Linn, I feel like she got the raw deal. Kristen was very clear as a forefronting character, especially in her rivalry with Stephanie, and it feels like she was dropped off for Felicia, and they never returned it. Not to mention the subpar recast with Tracy Melchior in 2001. Someone like Brenda Epperson (ex-Ashley, Y&R) would've been more suited for that role.
