Huuhhhh... this is a tough one. No, I do not like what Todd's been doing , but he was really winning me over (I know, I can't believe it either) when he was rebuffing Marty's advances. I think we viewers needed that. That, to me, brought Todd a few steps back from that dirty little “there's no turning back” corner he was being written into.

SH played that "I'm in love with you" scene beautifully, she is not acting with even a smidge of a wink of irony, this Marty loves this Todd and I buy it I buy it I buy it.

I can say with confidence that this REALLY wouldn't have worked with RH, b/c RH is a weasel. TSJ is a feline. I think he and SH have great chemistry, and RH would have totally skeeved us out. I have never watched soaps for romance, forget romance, but the sexual tension between these two in that scene was palpable. And maybe this speaks to my own twisted brain, but there was something very sexy about naive, clueless, head over heels Marty bashfully throwing herself at Todd and him politely shooting her down. I hate to even throw the word misogyny into the discussion, but it never ceases to amaze me how a genre created for women is always coming up with these kinds of stories.

But Todd must pay, and pay he will. I just think it's great acting and storytelling that I could even for a second have a positive reaction to the idea of these two as a couple. But Todd getting away with murder time after time is getting very old. Marty needs to come back with a vengeance and I would not mind seeing her get violent with Todd, she needs to give him a fresh new scar on his face.

If you liked Passions (not that there's anything wrong with that) then OLTL is right up your alley IMO. Rapemance, dead babies, alters hallucinating about other alters, and puppies. This is not MY OLTL and it's not what I tuned in to see. So I barely do anymore.

I so want Viki to unlock them from the secret room and make a funny *It smells in here* face.

The acting has been top notch the past few days especially with TSJ and SH, even though I'm not particularly happy with the direction of things.

Woah, another alter for Jessica??? She's got her own Jean Randolph!

Finally! They found Natalie/Jared!

I wonder if people were this repulsed when Laura fell for her rapist Luke on General Hospital?

Okay, I'm watching now, and is this the first time "Bess" has been introduced? If a better actress was in the role (rather than Williamson), this stuff would have been an acting clinic. BTW how did Tess have the baby?

Now, I've never had a baby before, but when you just give birth, are you able to just walk around so freely like that?

Lol Love Tina helping without actually showing that she knew everything.

Wait so Bess is going to steal Starr's baby? Wow..I actually didn't see that coming at all.

Carlivati though has OLTL fans talking. It does not matter because there is so much debate/talk about this storyline. People love it or absolutely abhor it but they are still talking. During the Higley days people did not even talk about it or care about anything. The worst thing networks want to see is complete APATHY. That means you do not care one way or another about anything. It goes back to the JFP quotes of yesteryear. JFP had an infamous quote when she was at OLTL. When she split Bo/Nora up and made all those fans mad. JFP's motto is, " AN ANGRY FAN IS AN INVESTED FAN". Do you agree with JFP's quote?

Johnny, Marlena emailed me and told me that she is going to post a column on Monday about Todd and Marty. I don't want to steal her thunder, but we'd all better brace ourselves! LOL!

Holy [!@#$%^&*], I don't know even know how to take these Todd and Marcie scenes..Is Todd changing his mind or is he playing her? Regardless I'm loving it.

Laura had her memory, while Marty doesn't.

Yeah, today is Bess' first day. The baby came early - she was having cramps for a while now.

I think so!!

He's totally playing her.

I love Obama but I really wanted to see the end of the episode.

Thanks Obama..
