OLTL: Discussion for the week January 5th


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Here is one small change to a OLTL casting report I did a couple of weeks ago...

After reading my new spoilers, I have discovered that Charlotte D'Ambosie will NOT be playing the Ms. Dickinson the Llanview High School Principal in upcoming episodes.

Instead, she will portray Ms. Dickinson, the Llanview High School VICE Principal.

I know, it's a small thing....but I just wanted to let everyone know. :)

The Llanview High storyline was off to a very awkward start today, I'd say. It feels like it's going to play out like one of those campy propaganda films from the 50s about drugs murdering kids. "Run! Don't Walk! From...MARIJUANA!!" And it all went to fast for me, even though I found the pace realistic. The storyline just swooped in and it doesn't fit with the rest of the show, IMO at least.

And someone please explain to me how Starr, Langston, and Markko were in class while Cole and Matthew weren't, and also why was Matthew at home while Starr, Langston, and Markko were still in class? And also again...all three of them are in an AP class? For real? And Starr's the smartest person in BIOLOGY class? LMAO!

Why am I not surprised the teen story feels off when they were supposedly forced to dump their first choice for Mr. Joplin and hire Scott Clifton at Frons's behest?

I love Scott Clifton (and his body) and have not seen today yet, but him as a teacher seems odd.

He is totally believable as a teacher to me. One of my best teachers was my 7th and 8th grade social studies teacher, he was 28 and 29. A greek god. loll

I am totally psyched about this storyline. Eye candy, social issue storyline, drugs, and a high school set that actually looks like a high school. What more can you want?

Just now getting caught up with yesterday's show. Loving these scenes between Todd and Blair. KDP and TSJ rocked them. I love when they actually give TSJ something to do outside of brood. And after reading his interview with Nelson on his process it makes his scenes that much more interesting to watch.

I loved that hte Lee angle hasnt been forgotten and I also liked how Joplin's son was also brought back up.

Im not so sure I can buy Scott Clifton as a teacher though bc he still looks like a teen to me

Loved Tea's hair. Blair and Todd must have been talking for a long time bc Tea went and got her hair styled and cut...lol

I think Cole was just skipping class to score drugs. Matthew actually mentioned that they had a "freshman faculty thing" so they were done early. Nora also mentioned to Talia and Antonio that Matthew was supposed to be getting home early.

Did anyone catch the beat where Todd said the one thing he and Dr. Joplin had in common was that they'd do anything to protect their kids, and Tea zoned out and Todd asked "where'd you go?" and Tea then went off talking about Janet I think?

Is it possible, since Todd and Tea slept together on the deserted island that SHE might have had a child by him that no one knows about yet, and that's why she's so determined to help him now? That was back in 2002, so that would make Todd & Tea's child roughly 5 to 6 years old.

I also thought that might have been a possiblity they would have gone with but now I'm not so sure. I can't see Tea staying away from her child for the entire holiday season even for Todd. Not with her mommy abandonment issues. With FL only staying short-term I also can't see them going with such a big revelation and then being forced to cut it short before it could really play out. Although it would be like Tea to grab the kid and go on the run forever. She knows the lengths Todd will go to to possess something that he wants.

I was'nt really seeing that much chemistry between TSJ and FL when she first started but this past week has made me change my opinion on that. I was actually laughing at Todd using Tea as an arm rest.

Blair's speech was also great. She said everything I've been thinking. Of course I've never liked Marty and have always been on Blair's side. I still remember Blair cutting off all her hair because she was afraid she looked like Marty, and that was why Todd loved her. One of my favourite soap scenes ever. I do enjoy Blair more when she's being devious but I love how supportive she's being of Starr. I've always thought she was a fantastic mom. Todd just sucks as a father. I hate the self-pity parties he's been throwing.

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
