Yeah I don't understand this complaint. Are you saying it's not logical for Tess to have made the code something in regards to Jean when Natalie and Jared I think figured out the first which was about Nash/Tess?

Dear One Life to Live,

Are you sure Monday's episode wasn't meant to be Friday's?

:lol:

I've got to say it was the most action packed episode for a Monday since Nash went through the skylight. I was on the edge of my seat from start to end. Mostly in regard to how Bess was going to pull off the baby switch.

I've always considered OLTL to be one of those soaps that have thrived mostly off baby switches and WTD's. OLTL did one in the early 80s with Karen Wolek that got much fan fare, and again in the late 80s with Gabrielle and Tina, and just recently with Tommy, and now with "Hope". Now that the baby switch has occurred, I am truly puzzled as where this storyline will go bc for once I can say this story is truly unpredictable.

Yeah it was pretty creepy that they had Bess take that dead baby across town. I don't know but Anna Theresa Cascio has done TWO stories with certain aspects that I saw on today's show and it happened on ATWT and AMC.

I have to say that Susan Haskell did an excellent job in Monday's episode. I don't believe I've watched a scene like this unfold on a soap before, where a woman is lead to believe, basically has been brainwashed, that her "hero" is actually someone who wishes to harm her, and the man who's she's been dependent upon is actually the villain, the guy she's actually supposed to be afraid of. Tuesday's episode is going to be amazing!

I will admit- I AM THE ONE who constantly points out Melissa Archer's lack of acting talent. I will go on record saying that she is absolutely awful.

The girl has never shed a genuine tear in ANY scene where it was written, she does not know the meaning of subtext, she shrieks her way through every scene that requires emotion, and she reads lines like a robot. Her performance yesterday was absolutely embarrassing- and a perfect example of my soaps get trashed by "mainstream" actors, press, ect..

I think what bothers me the most, is that this girl has been on OLTL almost 8 years, and I would think she would have developed, but she has gotten progressively worse.

It doesn't bother me to say it- as alot of people seem to like her.

I have been pretty vocal about OLTL's younger cast being awful.

I am surprised that people to not mention it more often.

But again, to each his own. I think Brandon Buddy is a great younger actor, yet people here generally do not like him.

I loathed Evangeline and the actress who played her- and she was nominated for 2 or 3 emmys and has a huge fanbase.

Its all good.

And again- Susan Haskell was brilliant yesterday and I am glad others agree!!

I am thinking she may get an emmy nomination (probably not a win).

THATS SO NOT RIGHT- MICHAEL!!!

We are intelligent viewers who deserve better! lol

Here is the thing about Farah Faith- the girl has got charisma. It was funny, Erika Slezak said it perfectly in her interview. She has a different energy than any other actor on OLTL- its true. She just isn't very dynamic. She could benefit greatly from acting lessons. I think she has alot of potential. She is kind of grating at times.

I reserve my biggest issues with the Bree, Melissa, David Fumero, and Kristen Alderson. Ick.

I have a prob with FF too. She makes some of the weirdest acting choices and faces I've ever seen, like, "WHAT is she DOING??" And the fact that her greasy swollen lips always look like she just had pigs feet doesn't help either.

I think worse than an actor who isn't so talented is a soap star who doesn't even try. I think some of these young soap performers don't know just how blessed they are to be working. But if they can continue to churn out sub-par performances without being fired, then why should they try? Integrity? Nahhhhh...

FF much like MA should never be given emotional material..I'm of the honest belief that if you can't cry believably then don't try and don't try and cover it with a scrunched face and shrieking..Be subtle/subdued..it can convey just as much if not more than the obvious choice to cry..

SH is doing brilliant with these scenes..And of course I'm not supposed to feel bad for Todd, but it always sucks knowing your favorite character is about to go down once again :)..

Dead toy baby=unnecessary.
