OLTL: Discussion for the week October 20-24, 2008

Toups, your'e right. I did like the Shane/Matthew scenes, and the Sam/Bo reference. That part I *did* enjoy.

So it wasn't all lousy, I guess. But still - the entire Rex/Gigi story recapped was just... I don't know... lazy. If we had a stronger actress, I'd much rather see a series of monologues for Gigi delving into her guilt, her regret, her love, etc. Instead, we got a recap of a year's worth of story. Which I guess I should be grateful for. I'm not sure FF has the chops for a series of scenes where she starts off wry and sarcastic and ends up a puddle on the floor. I guess I'm just over this "Nothing-can-stand-against-our-love-not-even-time-travel-or-modern-medicine" approach to the love story.

Sorry I'm so cranky. LOL! I did like the kids, and I did enjoy the audio montage with Todd at the end. I'm not a total stick in the mud. LOL!

I don't know who JER is but yesterday and today were classic soap.

Gigi in a horrible disguise being stopped 5 times before getting to Rex was hilarious. I thought the few flashbacks scenes retelling their love story were well done. I am glad the writers did not go mushy with Gigi's dialogue. It was light hearted which I enjoyed especially since their first encounters showed Gigi's strength, stubbornness, and playfullness with Rex.

I also enjoyed the Tina scenes and do not think of it as her being dumbed down. It was more of a self absorbed woman determined to get what she wants and not thinking about the consequences of her actions. The Tina scenes had me laughing my ass off which perfectly offset all the drama going on in other scenes.

I cannot put my finger on who Janet is but I remain intrigued.

This I so agree with. One reason I am not watching right now is that I just finished watching the power of Gigi's love bring Rex back through time. Now just a few months later we're watching the power of her love bring him out of a coma. What's next? I get it. Gigi's love is powerful. She has a powerful cootchie she's been saving for Rex for 10 YEARS. They have the bestest love ever. Now can we find another story for them. This one needs to have a fork stuck in it.

She was already revaled to be Lee Halpren and that revelation fell flat bc they didnt use any flashbacks. Most people dont even know who the heck that is. Im a OLTL fan since the 80s and dont remember her. Janet should have just been a new, unconnected character

Me too! She made me cry. So did Blair and Starr.

Tess telling Tina "Now I must go far away and never come back" -- If only. <_<

Viki is still more worried about Jessica than she is Natalie. OMG! Tess is back! Jessica come back to me, before your alter does something we'll all regret a little bit.

I didnt feel bad for Ugliana. She got what she deserved. He's just not that into you. She finally got that hint

I loved Tina going off on Tess. "Shut the HELL up! Im so sick to death of you and I cant wait to tell the whole world, what an ugly little beast you are"

Blair needs to fix her hair. Her roots are horrible and Im not liking how the top of her hair is blonde and the bottom is dark brown

I am mostly a lurker but I have to say that I love this show right now. I grew up on Days and GL but I am totally bored with those two right now.

I loved the Blair and Starr scenes today, they had such a natural mother and daughter vibe, and I'm not even a huge Blair fan at the moment.

I hated Marcy earlier this year but I loved the scenes with her and Michael today. I even felt bad for Adriana, despite Rex and Gigi being one of my

favorite couples.

I really don't know how I feel about the whole Todd storyline. I'm a big Todd fan and I am still hoping that he has a change of heart. My ultimate storyline

would be for him to be the one to confess the truth to Marty.

Anyway just wanted to post my thoughts about my favorite soap on the air right now. :D

I really liked today’s episode too. I thought the scenes between Blair and Starr and Michael and Marcie were great. No big explosions or shootings just the characters talking and reacting to one another. How refreshing. I also enjoyed the scenes with Viki, Charlie and Roxy. That look Viki shot Roxy when she lit that first candle was priceless.

    • I'm not intrigued by Cat.  I find her annoying.  I just ... no.

      RIP Chris Robinson- his Jason Frame was one of AW’s better villains.  Jason’s murder mystery was one of AW’s best- practically the entire cast was a suspect!

    • She might be using Anita like she planned to do before. If so, I suspect Tracy is not in on it. I'm not sure if this was revealed yet - I didn't watch 6/11 yet.

    • I feel like they have already been rested as it is. I've rarely seen a cancer story for a major character treated as casually as it was with Alfie. I would probably write him out and have Kat on her own as they seem to have no ability to write for a serious Alfie or to rein Shane in.
    • I hate to say it: but, at this point, I'd marry off Alfie and Kat, and then rest them off-canvas for a period of time.
    • Oh, I hear what you're saying. People these days will follow anyone whether they have substance or not. 
    • @Liberty City @MichaelGL I could believe the possible spoiler about another landlady as Kat seems likely temporary/placeholder to me.  I don't hate the idea of Kat being in the Vic, especially as the overhyped drag parody that is Elaine (even if they have belatedly tried to humanize her) and dullard George and his dull children do nothing for me. I just wish Kat was in a stronger place. They have shown so little of her in the last few years in stories that should have been stronger than they are, and it's not just because of Jessie's suspensions or injury breaks.
    • Yep, when Kim was bonked over the head during the harrowing tornado, she was in love with that grinning, happy, big-haired Dan who looked as though he belonged on The Brady Bunch.  (Reilly) By the time she finally regained her memory fully and shook herself free of John Dixon (didn't she get pregnant with Andy during all of this?), she was stuck with that sad-eyed, grouchier Dan who'd been Dan several years earlier (Colenback).  The Bolivia trip was probably the switchover.   
    • I'm clinging to the fact that it was Jill in charge when GV last got "treatment" from GH. Praying he has no reason to blame Frank. Love2Hate Drew seems multiple choice: redemption or discovery of his not-Drewness which means they've got Drew tucked somewhere, probably where NotBritt has been kept. I have only one thing to say about JJ. Clearly he has a future in PR or politics. Who knew he could tell a tale so well?
