OLTL: Discussion for the week November 24-28, 2008

[MTSRocks]

I don't know, I'm mainly intrigued by OLTL actresses. I find the males to be pretty much ho-hum (a lot of that is the actors).

[rhinohide]

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"

How the heck could Brody not know Jessica? I mean they only lived on the same estate for months

I hated it and thought it was corny. Doesnt quite have the feel of a latin diner which Carlota was runnin

[daysfan]

Jessica was psycho Tess most of the time who just ran around caring about either killing Natalie and Jared, locking them in the secret room or torturing them.

LOVED *LOVED* Erika's scenes today!

[Ripley Todd]

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...

[Cheap21]

Which is why I said why did Brody not know Jessica. I wouldnt have expected Jessica to recognize him considering she wasnt around, but Brody definetly was the 3-4 months they were living on the same grounds

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.

[SFK]

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.

[Cheap21]

That was Victor's original resting place BUT he was brought back from the dead in 2003. When he died, his body was placed in the mausoleum, we saw today.

[daysfan]

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.

[Scotty]

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?

[daysfan]

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."

[Scotty]

That's right.....it's like he's nodding to the audience and saying "let's just pretend that the 2003 mess never even happened."

[leevo64]

If Ron wants to do that, more power to him! Some things should be left alone and some things should be forgotten. The Heart of a Lord story is one of those stories, along with Erica's fetus boy.
