OLTL Discussion: Week of December 1-5

Viki still doesnt know that Todd knew about Tess for months and did absolutely nothing to help Jessica. Tess nearly killed Viki years ago (which Todd saw) and almost had a repeat of it again this past summer, yet he didnt lift a finger to stop her even though he knew she was out to get Natalie. All he cared about was protecting himself and threw Viki's kids under the bus to do so. he flat out lied to her and never showed any remorse for what he had done or didnt do here. I hope Marty lets Viki know this and that she tears him a new one bc that was unforgivable. Jessica used to be really close to Todd and I hope she attacks him as well for using her and jeopardizing her mental health to further his own sick plans

It was a great Thanksgiving episode. Just what it should be.

The opening included new shots only for those Scotty mentioned plus Rex has a new shot. The others were all old. (Did Scotty say that KB had a new shot? She did.)

I think the pictures Jared was showing Charlie and Viki were of Chloe. Anybody besides me think Jared might be getting baby fever?

I loved Renee's line about her man never doing anything wrong. And I also liked how at the end she told Jared that he may not be a Buchanan, but he sure behaved like one.

One thing I missed. Cole was at the Buchanans, but did they explain where Marty was?

Nora and Cole talked about Marty right at the beginning. Cole asked Nora if Marty was feeling up to coming down. Nora said Marty didn't want to be around people who knew the old her, or something like that. She was there, just not downstairs.

What a great Thanksgiving episode! It showcased loved and family as it should be. OLTL definitely had the best Thanksgiving this year. It's a shame GH doesn't do these kind of Thanksgiving episodes anymore - damn you Guza. <_< Dena Higley didn't even care to bother over at DAYS.

I definitely could see OLTL submitting this episode along with one of their more dramatic episodes for Best Writing.

I'll PM the link to you. ;)

Loved the ending. You know, I know this is a soap, and I know I shoul dbe loving it, but for some reason Charlie transforming Carlotta's diner (which I believe we've had as a set since it was Wanda Wolek's in the 80s?) into a time capsule tribute to Vicki and his first meeting place just feels bizarre, and even for some reason I can't place kinda distateful. I'm sure it's just me, but I had to get that off of my chest (plus there's no way they could completely transform the whole shape and style of the building which was burned but not destroyed. Just had to get that off my chest :)

LOVED today's eppy! That montage at the end was so touching. There were so many moments that were small but important. Did you notice Michael's face when he saw the diner? No happy memories there for him. The glance between Viki and Dorian - no words needed. Jack meeting Shane and introducing him to Sam. By the way, how cute is Sam? LOL! Starr and Nora, Renee and Sarah.....

The song was so pretty - does anyone know who sang it and what it's called?

I agree. It just showed a lot of disrespect to Carlotta. Whether she was behind it or not. It just rubbed me the wrong way, even though their heart was in the right place. I liked the idea of it, but when I stopped to think about the legalities, I would have much preferred Charlie built a makeshift diner on the Lord front lawn or something. To use Carlotta's diner just seemed a little "Your diner's nice, but THIS ONE is much cooler" And as much as I've been on the anti-Vega bandwagon for awhile now, I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Carlotta.

I was thinking the same thing Toups. Its nice that someone else here enjoys the show as much as I have been!

Ever since Andrea's last show the show has been so "warm" and holiday like.

Its really nice.

^^^ I wonder if that's a direct response of the show listening to the fan's complaints that it was getting too campy at some times, and too dark at others.

We're so quick to say the shows don't listen, but I agree the show has had a lot more heart to it lately, and maybe someone behind the scenes realized that's what it was lacking.

They don't always listen to the fans... but sometimes they do.

OLTL has quite a few episodes to choose for best drama. They have the whole Dorian BE fallout with Nash's death they could submit or submit this wonderful Thanksgiving episode. IMO though they will submit back to back episodes of Marty's reveal/baby switch. There was too much drama there not to submit it.

    • 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 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!

    • In case it is of interest to anyone here, I have digital copies (computer files, mp4 etc.) of all of the episodes. And, besides having the files they are all up on my usual video hosting site, acct name: shallotpeel, channel it is in: Primetime Soaps and file names like  Flamingo Road S1E15 Hurricane Flamingo Road was a primetime soap on NBC by Lorimar Productions. 2 seasons. 1980-1982. Morgan Fairchild, Barbara Rush. Developed by Rita Lakin.   
    • Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.
