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.

Lee, as the latest bigger bad who makes Todd look less evil.

You know, I get this feeling that Dr. Joplin did not commit suicide...could Lee have shot her to keep her quiet about their part in the aborted baby switch?

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.

Who says Frons mandated Scott Clifton? I'd like to say it was Valentini.

Cole probably didn't want to go to class? As for Matthew, he got off early because of some Freshmen thing.

Yeah, that was pretty funny. Maybe Langston was smoking weed before class?

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 had to lol at this exchange..

Tea:So why was Blair here, what did she want?

Toddy: Why are you here, what do you want?

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

Lol I was thinking the exact same thing.

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.

The Todd/Tea fan in me loves your idea but the current Todd hater in me thinks he certainly does not need anymore kids, especially since he's been such a horrible one to the oen he already has

I love the idea of Tea being a mom. Todd's kid, not so much.

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.
