OLTL: Discussion for the week January 12th


Recommended Posts

LOL, thank you! I'm still waiting for ME to wow me (although he's been marginally better under Carlivati).

Yesterday's episode seemed to be about extremely uncomfortable mother-son, parent-child interactions. Shane walking in on nekkid Rex & Gigi behind the sofa. Cole listening in on John & Blair and finding out that his mom is trying to f*ck away the bad memories with random strangers. Todd & Viki talking about Todd's relationship with Starr. Starr being all "I was the reason your mom committed suicide" to Skylar Joplin. The show was one big Freudian nightmare!

I'm proud of Eddie Alderson. I think he held his own very well today with RSW and HBS! Bo looked like he wanted to mow Matthew down, though. He was uber-pissed!

I get that Matthew is a little smart-alek type and that he's going to have tendency not to care at all about what his parents tell him, and it makes sense. He grows up in a family full of liars, cheaters, criminals, and who knows what else. But they really turned it on like a light, didn't they? They portrayed him as a perfectly well-adjusted kid until now, and he's all of a sudden acting like one of Roseanne's kids.

I like Eddie Alderson. I am always surprised when he gets a bad rap here.

Very natural, very believable. And he's turning into a cute kid.

His sister on the other hand- Awful!

When people breathe that chick's name in the same sentence with Younger Actress Emmy, I cringe.

And then cal my mother and say "What's a CLITORIS??""

And everytime Brody and Jessica talk all close like that- I get the vapors.

I don't know how she doesn't rip his clothes off in EVERY scene they share.

They are hot together!

By the way:

"What's a clitoris?"

I like both of them. With the right storyline, both of them can hit it out of the park. But both have their moments of non-committal. But hey, they're kids, cut 'em a break. It's not like they're going on thirty with a college education like Colby on AMC who STILL can't act.

I agree on all counts. Eddie is better now than his sister was at that age, definitely. When she was 14-15, wasn't that around the time Starr was running around New York with that kid who now plays gaybrotherEric on Gossip Girl? His was Travis on OLTL, right?

LMAO. I'm gonna be easy on Moncrief for the rest of the week. Two days in a row of laughing at her acting is not very nice.

Another well written episode by MPL. Keep this up Michelle and you might get on my list of script writers RC should keep.

Loved Matthew/Bo/Nora's discussion. Love how the show figured in Bo's time in the service.

Loved the Marty/Cole scenes. Very emotional.

LMAO at Shane's question and Marcie's reaction. Today was a very good show.

Today's show was very good. I totally loved the scenes with Matthew/Nora and Bo, they were very well written and acted.

I did a Marcie right along with her today when Shane asked Michael that question. So was not expecting that, it made me LMAO.

Wes needs to punch John's lights out.

For the first time in a LONG time I liked Todd, his scenes with Starr were very good.

    • Oh wow that’s pretty awesome! I wish I had  approached him but there was so many people 
    • In the current environment, while it's small, there is a crumb of good news: Apparently, San Antonio voted for a DEMOCRATIC mayor, Gina Ortiz, beating the "right-hand man" of Gov. Greg Abbott, former Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5337199-gina-ortiz-jones-wins-san-antonio/
    • Love this! You are both adorable. Wow
    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.  
    •   Dani’s cute ass party planner. He gave me some tea but I was so drunk I don’t remember it.
    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
    • Omg not we both ran into people from the show this weekend!
    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside.
