OLTL Discussion: Week of December 1-5

[rhinohide]

Another dayplayer bites the dust. And yet we still have McBain so all is right with the world.

[All My Shadows]

WTF? Noelle and Moe are STILL randomly popping up? Carlivati must have a serious hard-on over these two, I swear.

[rhinohide]

Not so random it appears. Lord knows they've got more life to live.

[dragonflies]

Why does everyone act like Shane should just accept Rex as his father? Blood does not automatically make one a father. I like that he doesn't want Brody to think he doesn't want him as his father anymore. As it should be. Brody IS his father

[Dr. Jay S.W.]

what! Brody was Shane's dad for what, a couple of months... I'm not expecting Shane to just up and accept Rex, but to say Brody is his father is blasphemy.

[SFK]

I think it's sad that Dr. Joplin did the unthinkable, I really didn't want to see her go. Plus, if they'd eventually introduced her no good son, there could have been some interesting stuff there. Maybe he WILL show up down the road and try to snuff out Todd.

Are they trying to get BW an Emmy with these personality quick changes? They have all the finesse of a bull in a china shop.

EricMontreal, I'm with you 100%, the glasses thing is KILLING me! I want to see her scramble when she can't find any, then she'll make circles with her thumbs and pointer fingers and hold them up to her face.

[Dr. Jay S.W.]

Physically his dad, is what I mean.

[rhinohide]

I just think his resistance is over the top. Shane and Rex were good buddies before Brody came back. Regardless of what stories Shane had been told about his "father", he loved Rex and even wanted Rex and Gigi together before Brody returned. I understand that then he bonded with Brody, but it's like he forgot how much he loved Rex completely.

But Shane believed Brody was his dad his whole life. And when Brody returned, it was like a dream come true. I understand why Shane is conflicted, but as I said before, it's strange that he completely erased his memories about the time before Brody came back, when he loved Rex, hated Adrianna, and wanted Rex and Gigi to get together.

[dragonflies]

I so hope Blair is finally over Todd. She deserves so much better. I'm sick of the TnB ping ponging, it's so beyond old and tired

[jinx_avery]

Since we didn't see Dr. Joplin pull the trigger, there's every chance the suicide was staged. When has Antonio or Nora ever correctly assessed a crime scene on the first go round?

[rhinohide]

It was so funny the other day when she told Dorian she can't remember what she ever saw in him. Sorry, I just find that heavy handed writing, considering we all saw their story. It's one thing for her to admit she finally realizes that he's never going to change, but to pretend she never saw the good in him that genuinely exists, is just silly IMO. Not that there's a balance there. Far more bad than good.

[daysfan]

Probably because him and Rex growing so close was a Tomlin thing and not a Carlivati thing.

[rhinohide]

Or John, or Bo. Is Talia there? She's usually pretty good at that stuff. They've needed a female cop for awhile now.

Ahhhhh! True. I'd forgotten that much of what happened during the writers strike . . . never really happened. I sometimes wonder what the offliners must have thought about that. Think of all the people who watch the show who may have not even known there was a writers strike. I watched for years, and I never knew who the executive producer was or who was writing the show. I don't think I was alone.

[jinx_avery]

Good thing Tess isn't still wearing hats or poor Jess might dislocate a shoulder flipping personalities.

[MichaelGL]

I would also add Nash’s funeral in there too, and for a lighter yet daring episode, how the one where David explains to the audience how he got from Paris to Hollywood. That was an awesome episode, and it also involved a location shoot if I’m correct with Antonio and Talia.

What I’ve come to realize about RC that, with the exception of writer strikes, everything that happens is bound to affect the story somehow someway down the line, even Janet. Why would RC bring her on if she wasn’t? I just hope for a Viki/Janet confrontation.

As for Dallas, wasn’t she brought on by Tomlin? RC seemed to just inherit her, and he seemed to try and make her useful but in the end couldn’t and who can blame him.

Thursday’s show was a treat. Lots of inside jokes and humor used in the episode with Foxy Roxy’s.

Gah and how hot were Tess and Brody? I’m really liking this unique story where two characters eventually fall in love while in the asylum lol.
