Members Vee Posted January 19, 2009 Members Share Posted January 19, 2009 Please note: The Llanview High Principal is played by Broadway star Charlotte D'Amboise; I know her best from the legendary B'way flop Carrie: The Musical. I'm not sure if it's still there, but a certain tubey site used to have footage of her in that fiasco singing her signature number, "Out For Blood," in which high schoolers slaughter farm animals in preparation for dousing Carrie with pig's blood at the prom. "And I'm nooootttt out for peeeaccceee, I'm Out For Blood!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted January 19, 2009 Members Share Posted January 19, 2009 So how long until Jess reveals the truth... YES!! Finally Marty vs. Blair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted January 19, 2009 Members Share Posted January 19, 2009 Right. I'm sitting here surprised that we've gotten this far already. If Jess keeps this a secret, well, that's not really a good thing for her character. Wouldn't make a lot of sense. Look at Sister Blair. This Wes guy, what's going on there? I predict that he's gonna get killed, I don't know why I sense that, but I feel like being pushed out of town won't be enough for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted January 19, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hopefully not for a while. I want to see Jessica in another storyline because the truth comes out. Yay! Marty vs Blair, Marty vs Tea, Tea vs Blair - it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted January 19, 2009 Members Share Posted January 19, 2009 Vee, speaking of Carrie, Charlotte looks a little like a younger Betty Buckley (Grayson McCouch's ex). Or that blonde actress from ATWT, Kelly Mennigan?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tina m Posted January 19, 2009 Members Share Posted January 19, 2009 Loved how Starr handed the drugs back to Cole. Great! Nice to see Marcie and Michael are still alive! Great scenes with Brody/Wes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhinohide Posted January 19, 2009 Members Share Posted January 19, 2009 I was disappointed in today's show. 1) I love Blair and I hate Marty and Marty got all the good lines "Marty the party girl wouldn't look at you twice" 2) The one thing I was really hoping for from the Jessica/Natalie conflict was some balance. I'm trying not to jump the shark here and I still hope it will unfold differently than it played today, but I have to admit my faith is shaken. I mean Jessica admits that at the very least she conspired with her alter to murder her sister, and Clint and Viki listen to the whole thing and when it's over all they have to say is "Will Jessica be ok?". Not one iota of concern about Natalie? Not much balance IMO. Maybe when Jessica comes home it will shift a bit. 3) The teen story is so predictable, and I'm tired of Cole thinking his pain is oh so superior to everyone else's. 4) UO: ML and the guy who plays Wes are pretty much like every other newbie and some of the more veteran performers in that they just don't do drama very well. The flashbacks were better than the reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 I'm so tired of Marty. I would have much rather seen her in therapy. Instead we get this supposed party girl whose only partying is hanging out with Wes and making passes at John. She's dull, and smug, and we get this drama where she and Blair have to fight over two men who aren't worth the bother. If Starr truly cared about Cole, she would tell someone about the pills. Instead, she gives him some very high-handed treatment before going back to thinking about herself. I don't know if its the writing, or the staging, or the performances, but I've been riveted by the showdown between Bess and Tess. This is the best I've seen from Bree Williamson. Wes is nothing special, but I thought ML was fantastic today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 Oh shut up Marty. She is quickly becoming the most annoying character on ABC Daytime and thats saying alot What was up with Blair's sweater? Girl looked like a nun Loved Natalie's hair. She looks amazing Im really enjoying Wes. I say they give him a contract and keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 Out for Blood and Do Me a Favour are two of my all time fave showtunes There's a great interview with Charlotte by Broadway divo Seth Rudetsky online where she talks a lot about Carrie. She dishes a lot about the mess that was Carrie, Barbara Cook leaving between the brief London run and being replace dby Buckley for Braodway, how her partner--that star from Fame--was alwasy high when performing, Debbie Allen's bizarre "high school students from space" staging and choreography, etc. She's married to fellow CATS star Terrance Mann (also famous as Javert in Les Mis and the Beast in Beauty and the Beast) who was on AMC for about 6 monthsa round '97. Anyway I saw Charlotte D'Amboise play Roxie Hart in the 1999 tour of Chicago and she was *amazing*. She's a decent singer but where her talent really shines is dancing (she was recently Cassie in the revival of Chorus Line) she's one of THE best women dancers working musical theatre right now--it was one of the best live performances I've seen by anyone. She comes from a big dancing family of course (her dad is famous ballet dancer Jaques D'Amboise and her brother Chris is also a famous dancer). Cool to see her on One Life tho' kinda sad to know the role wont' show off any of her talents. Still it'll give her money between musicals... (Funny at the time I saw Chicago was more excited that Billy Flynn was played by Brent Barett, Tony Barclay from All my Children who of course is now a serious leading man on broadway--but good as he was Charlotte owned the show) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
