LOL! I haven't even watched today but something about anyone acting like a "know it all" in St. Anne's cracks me up. I just see them wandering around saying things like "And group sessions are held at 9:00 in the morning, and wait til you try the jello. It's to die for. Oh yes. I spend all my holidays at St. Anne's"

Gosh. Erika was very powerful today. She made me cry, and that deep in the gut pain that Viki was feeling? Yeah, I felt it too. She's never ceases to amaze me, and I was expecting it to be good, but gosh, not that good! And, I loved, loved, loved that he rebuilt the Bon Jour for her. What a fantastic, romantic gesture for her...

You know, OLTL is really surprising me lately. After a ROUGH summer, its like Ron is hitting his stride again. I found this week's shows incredibly warm and holiday like. I am still surprised and very glad at the excellent sendoff Tina got. I had no idea that Erika was going to be THIS excellent today. Call me a sap, but the diner thing at the end. I LOVED IT!

And it seem like Y&R is getting all of the love these days- and deservedly so, it is EXCELLENT- but in the sense of allowing the above 35 year old 's solid storylines- OLTL is every bit as good as Y&R in that respect. Veterans are still getting respect on some of these shows thank god!

Days of Our Lives and NBC should be ashamed.

I may be the only one, but I think Erika Slezak could have gone even further today. I thought her performance was slightly measured, like she was holding back a little judged by the ES scale of brilliant daytime performances. Felt more like an ES dress rehearsal to me.

I can't say that I dislike Sarah, of course they're giving her some annoying crap to say lately, kinda like they did when they decided to turn Adrianna into a monster. I'm not feelin this new girl with Cris, I'm not feelin Cris period. Tired of that character, and in no way looking forward to his next romance. Boring. I was into the Brody/Jessica sparks however. I'm just tired of the Vega boys and obnoxious characters like Rex and Nash and Jared. Brody is a good dude, just a little broken.

So is the younger girl from Columbia going to try to steal Marko from Langston? Or does she have a crush on Langston? I was watching with just one eye yesterday, but she asked Langston if Marko would be hanging out, and when Langston said no, her reaction read weirdly to me. Like I couldn't tell if that was a good or bad thing.

I think the Bonjour diner idea is cute, but only if Carlotta is slingin hash and fajitas too.

I'm watching again, and maybe I take that back.

They are rewriting history (go figure!) with Victor's final resting place. Since when is he buried on the grounds of Llanfair? Back before the DID s/l, I remember Viki visiting Victor's in-ground grave at a cemetery and talking to him, about life and Merri, etc. Then he was in an above ground crypt (like the one today), that's where Dorian tried to pour lye over him. Then he and Eugenia were back in the ground in the cemetery outside the church, that's where Andrew and Dorian saw Viki crying and Dorian discovered she was Princess looking for her Mommie.

Yeah, he's been in the mausoleum ever since I think, I know its popped up here and there over the past few years. Its where Nikki Smith emerged again in 2005 with Dorian, and we saw it briefly earlier this year when Allison took a gun and her DVD out of some secret compartment.

True

Did anyone else notice today that on the name plate on Victor's coffin, it listed his death as 1976, and not 2003.

Could RC be trying to undo something that never should have happened in the first place by keeping the old coot long since dead?

Oh wow I didn't notice that!

Now Ron MIGHT not have power over what they put on stuff like that, but he's always made hints that Victor really died in 1976. Like in the 10,000th episode when Viki said to Dorian neither of them killed Victor and reminded her of what happened in 2003, Dorian said something like "If that even was him."

    • When they set the black and white picture of The Articulettes on the coffee table, I wonder if we will see flashbacks of Anita, Tracy, Sharon, and Barbara when they were younger in Chicago.
    • As long as no names were directly mentioned, it's a bit of a harmless lie, but you are right that she could have just heard something, or someone said that to her at the time rather than just saying the story wasn't popular and she was being written out. Or it could have been true, of course.
    • I hope so!   Despite allegedly being on the show for several years, Neil Wade got a total of ONE paragraph in the Laguardia book.   Paraphrasing, it said, Neil Wade (Michael Lipton) "helped Penny put her life back together after Jeff's death", "was a physician who didn't practice medicine for personal reasons" (didn't know that), "opened a bookstore with Penny" (sounds right), "planned to adopt a baby with Penny who couldn't have children" (sounds right), "began losing his vision and was struck and killed" (who knows?), and then Penny ultimately moved to Europe and married the racecar driver and adopted an Asian baby named Amy (sounds right).  And that was it.  
    • Why do I feel whatever BLQ has planned will blowup in her face?
    • Given Kim's penchant for drama, her love of drinking wine, being more of a guy's girl, and coming across as a bit of a narcissist, I could see this being a memory mistake, an assumption, or hearsay or rumor someone told her without any backing.  I can't see her out and out lying on purpose, so part of me thinks there was smoke somewhere, whether true or false, and she believed some mistake, if incorrect or misremembered.
    • I loved this too!

      I liked that they set up Shanice as a part-time physical therapist. It gets her out of the nurse's station and gives her more to do. I'm interested in seeing if we follow Anita to Chicago or if she's truly going to be off-screen for a while until we see the Articulettes' reunion. Overall slower day today, though.
    • I still say this is Frank's way of saying goddbye to JJ, who brought nothing to the show and was a complete dud for his entire return. He's purposelY been given an awful exit. Is this all Jackson's fault? Most likely not, but I place most of the blame on him. Too many contract demands, too much working around his travel schedule, too many stories he refused to do. GH has WAY too many actors calling the shots and influencing story and hires. We've seen it hurt the show time and time again.
    • Yeah, like others have said, Paul took it home for me today. We'd be so lucky to have him back for good.
    • I really like the scenes between Dani and Andre today.  Regardless of where this goes or who they end up with.  For now I appreciate that they have honesty with one another.  There's deep truth and vulnerability.  More than before.
