OLTL: Discussion for the week October 13-17, 2008

[Scotty]

Yes.......just ask Todd Manning.

[EricMontreal22]

I stand corrected! makes sense then

[Gordon24]

All I can say is I loved the song and montage. It summed up the entire episode in 30 seconds.

[SFK]

Eric, we knew that Rae Cummings was Gretel Cummings from the start, she just started going by her middle name for aesthetic reasons i.e., her flashy career/new image. Of course we'd later find out that she stole the male Dr. Ray Cummings' credentials. In her first scene with Viki, Viki was like, "Rae??'", referencing the fact that she knew her as Gretel.

BUT having Linda play her old OLTL character again WAS a bit of an afterthought as ABC originally wanted to buy the rights to the character Felicia Gallant, and have Felicia be the one to soap hop. P&G wouldn't sell, and plan B was Gretel Rae.

Soap Hunk 101: lesson 4-How to "act" without breathing while shirtless, abdominal muscles in flexed position

[rhinohide]

God forbid! I am an OLTL fan, and I don't even watch everyday. My love/support ebbs and flows. I think this is an ebb phase. And I complain like crazy when I don't like things because it's my guilty pleasure and when the pleasure is gone all that's left is the guilt, and I have kids to cover that. But I always come back eventually and love it some more.

[Sylph]

How cute!

[Vee]

Seriously: Get the fu ck out of the thread with that [!@#$%^&*].

[DrewH]

Haters...

I freaking love the Cramer women! I thought it was so cute when Blair, Dorian and Addie came into the foyer with their goodbye sign for Langston. As much as Dorian can suffocate her family members, it must be great to be a part of this family. I want to be a Cramer, damn it!

Clint and Nora

I'm glad to see Bo has the Llanview brain today. Do you think Carlivati threw that in there as a dig because all soap fans talk about how stupid cops are on soaps? You have one scene where Jared is talking how smart Bo is and that he's a smart cop and can see through Tess' charade. Then you have Bo arrive at Llanfair and tell Viki's his suspicions about Tess. Go Bo!

Is Natalie going to change her clothes? Surely, Tess must've thrown in some change of clothes in this room. And does it even have a bathroom? Jared's laying awfully close to someone that may not have showered in weeks.

Cute ending with Tess and Bree, preparing to head for Nappa.

OLTL is awesome right now, to me, no matter what other people say.

[detroitpiston]

Amen!

[reallyhateskateonlost]

Great right hook, Gigi! Even drew blood!

[Gordon24]

HA loved the right hook, the look, and remark after, "Now we're even". I need an avatar like yours but with Gigi punching Adriana.

Now if only Natalie can get in on some of the action and punch Tess.

Thank God for Viki and Bo finally figuring out Jess is Tess but oops she left town. Viki is so going to be pissed when she finds out Tina covered up for Tess and all for some jewels.

[Cheap21]

Viki came across like an idiot today. She couldnt think that Tess could be back bc Jess was integrated? Oh really and how many times has Niki returned since Viki was integrated. She only comes back every couple of years

Go Gigi! She did what Ive been wanting to see done a long time ago

[Dale]

Adrianna: "You hit me? In a hospital?"

Shane: "You hit my mom in a church"

Touche, Shane!!

[rhinohide]

Thanks Cheap. I am sorry but this whole thing is driving me crazy. This whole story is about Tess and there's something wrong with a story that requires every other character who interacts with her to behave as though they've had a frontal lobotomy in order to make it work. And it's not just this story.

Really! Blair knows all about Adrianna's issues with Rex, but Dorian is oblivious? She's so wrapped up with Ray and Langston she hasn't bothered to stop by and check on Ahdriahna?

I really don't have a problem suspending reality and reason here and there to accomodate my soaps, but they're pushing it.
