Those Sarah/Christian scenes were weak. It just shows what nonentities these two characters are. Erika Slezak was amazing today, and will most likely secure a nom, but hopefully not another win (sorry I'm holding out for MTS yet again, who has been phenomenal all year long).

I agree that Cristian and Sarah's fighting scenes did come off as weak. I think it had a lot to do with the writing. These scenes called for some actual emotions, and neither actor can truly emote those emotions in their performance. I'm a Cristian and Sarah fan, but I became a fan of theirs because they were simple characters in a simple relationship. I felt like they were a real couple.

I just adore Viki and Charlie, and that was just the most romantic gesture, just what Viki needed.

Huh, I thought that JB really nailed those jealousy/hurt scenes, can't say the same for DF though.

And I do believe I could actually get behind a Jess/Brody pairing, Jessica didn't get on my nerves at all today, and that hasn't happened in a LONG time.

Viki/Charlie are my favorite couple on the show and today showed why. I absolutely loved the ending, it was so beautiful. OLTL does something right that none of the other soaps do: create nice, gentlemanly men. Rex is a prince (well, he is NOW at least), Charlie wrote the book on chivalry, John's a brooding hero but would never disrespect a woman, Michael's gentle... the weak links are the loser Vega brothers, but we'll let that slide since they never have stories. I am intrigued to see where they take Jessica and Brody. I wasn't 100% sold on their scenes today but I was expecting a lot. I don't like how Jessica is such a know-it-all at St. Ann's, it's contrived. I've seen how people really are at psychiatric hospitals; even the "wise" ones aren't walking around like they've got it covered unless they've got a personality disorder - and I don't mean DID.

    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.

    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!
