I was waiting for you to comment. Now my day is complete :) You know I think you totally rock.

I am right there with you about the Marty thing. I'm not really caring for her right now. I don't know, I like the Todd/Marty dynamic but I think its starting to get old. Cole needs his mother back so she can adopt the baby.

LOL! Glad to be of service and back atcha. :wub:

I don't know what it might take for me to actually care about Marty. A personality maybe. She is such a Suzy Sunshine. And I just don't care enough about Cole that I think that would do it for me. I am open to her. I have no strong negative feelings about the character. I am just so firmly neutral I don't know what could make me invest in her.

ETA: I absolutely loved Tina and Roxy today. I wasn't all that excited about Andrea Evans return, and I still don't get what the big deal about AE is. I just don't think she's a very good actress. Sorry guys. But I loved Ilene's Roxy today. Loved that she was all pissed off about Natalie not being there when her "mom" and her brother needed her. And I also loved how even in the middle of her panic attack, Roxy sensed something was off and had Tina pegged from the get go. I hope their friendship isn't derailed by all this, because Tina and Roxy could be a LOT of fun down the road.

FINALLY Jared suspects Tess.I was wondering before how he could instantly figure out that Jess was faking when she was pretending to be Tess last year but couldnt now with the roles reversed.

I wonder if this story will change Blair's atittude towards Marty. The main reason why she's hated Marty all these years was bc she blamed Marty for Todd's "death" back in the mid 90s and later blamed Marty for being responsible for keeping Todd from her and her family. Now roles are resolved and Todd is actually responsible for keeping Marty dead and from her family. I wonder if this will finally redeem Marty in Blair's eyes and get her to let go of her anger towards Marty now that they are "even" so to speak

Good episode yesterday. The Tina/Natalie scenes were stand-outs for me. Carlivati has really saved the character of Natalie by giving her some snark, humor and vulnerability. Last year, I was all ready for Melissa Archer to get written off the show ASAP.

Finally Tina gets a conscience. This story was backing her character into a corner. And I'm glad Viki will be back next week because she has been missed.

Jared finally inherited a brain cell! Three cheers! I don't want Tess to go, though. :lol:

Adriana and Roxy going toe-to-toe was great, and I loved Roxy "busting out all of the big guns" i.e.: those weird troll dolls.

Marty and Todd had some great scenes but I got majorly skeeved out by the kissing at the end. I thought Da Kiss was a one-time thing only? And the music in their scenes isn't romantic, it is sinister and echoes with foreboding. Are they going to stretch this out until November, though? Because this story needs to go someplace. Todd has been talking about taking Marty far away for weeks now.

I was just thinking... that CC might have been a better Rebecca recast than a Marty -- given that Reiko Ellsworth is unlikely to return to Daytime anytime soon (more's the pity. She was incandescent as Rebecca and would have made a viable love interest for Todd again).

P.S.: OLTL is killing those outdoor scenes. They are the best I've seen on Daytime. Marty and Todd really looked like they are on some beautiful estate in Pennsylvania (and given Todd's money, that is not a stretch). And the best part -- being outdoors was not a distraction. No shaky camerawork (like on GL) and the background noise is not so loud as to divert attention (like on Y&R or B&B). They didn't have to redub their voices like in the scenes between Billy and Chloe on Y&R, for example. Beautifully done, and I'm really surprised because I just assumed ABC would do a rotten job.

    • So many things would have had to be different for Mary to want to go back to Reginald. It could have been interesting if it had been handled completely differently but as it was we had a very black and white Mary good/Reginald bad. If she had been able to ignore his worldly crimes and how he treated his own children there was still the fact that he had separated her from her children. Maybe if they had shown us more intimacy and affection between them and had allowed him to have real vulnerabilities it could have worked but as it played out they didn't do much to present him with any sympathetic hook. There are a lot of ways to define wanting things to work. Fans are mostly thinking of preserving or restoring characters and an atmosphere that drew them to the show. The sponsor may only be thinking of the bottom line. When a producer or HW comes in and decides that their vision will deliver for the bottom line and they need to fire most of the cast in order to do it it can feel very much like not caring. 
    • I remember this getting a lot of criticism at the time.
    • Maeve breaks me reading that letter. If you ever need to cry, look it up. Other than the dopey line about Henry wanting to come home to Van's rice (or tapioca) pudding (VANESSA CHAMBERLAIN DOES NOT COOK, Y'all...) it's a sweet sign-off to one of the best father/daughter relationships on soaps. Other than Ross, and Bill (if he says something, which I assume he does) and the letter, the rest of it is BS. I haven't watched it in a while, but it typifies what I dislike most about events that should be laden in history. The writers are too lazy to do the work and get it right. And it becomes about making sure characters X, Y and Z make their guarantees. Roger being there is an abomination. Henry never ever saw Nola as a gold-digger. She and Quint were practically engaged before he even knew Quint was his son. Before that, he was fairly close to Bea and enjoyed Nola's spirit. And Henry never helped Rick become an Eagle Scout.  I get that maybe you don't want to play Amanda#1 or Dinahs 1&2, or Billy, Trish or Alan #1 clips, but damn it....don't make stuff up. I'd have much rather watched clips from Henry, Vanessa and Ross' early days than Rick blather on, or nuMichelle try and dig for a human-like emotion or wonder why after TEN YEARS, Dinah and Quint have never met.   Do not remember anyone named Tina. I barely remember Dahlia, and that's mostly because for a while, I saw Sharon Leal in everything after she left GL.   Reva and Josh airhogs? ALWAYS, darling. ALWAYS. RME. I hate to tar and feather Robert Newman with that brush, but DAMN. 
    • Oooooooooooooo a Jazmen script off of a Sara Bibel breakdown.    I'm intrigued. Lol. Yeah, one thing I can say for sure...when SilkPress is about to have a crazy moment, they do give her music. 
    • I am so happy now. Reminds me of the 80s show I loved. Ron really did the cast and fans dirty. The only people complaining are those who only knew Ron and his whiplash plot driven stories
