Surprisingly Sharon Lennon wrote the script.

I love John and Blair. I can't believe I've just said that, but I do, I really do!

Tea and Todd, those were some nice scenes between them.

I just phoned a friend who phoned a friend, etc. Frederick Johnson wrote the outline, Elizabeth Page wrote the script.

So who the hell wrote it- Jimmy Page or John Lennon?

My damn HDTV cuts off the credits and i can never see who wrote the show.

I loved today's show. That was good old fashioned classic heartfelt soap drama today.

There were so many highlights but the Vicki and Natalie stuff was remarkable.

Sharon Lennon.

Wasn't it just a few short weeks ago that Rex couldn't afford a Christmas present for Shane? Now, he's blowing what little money Ultra Violet's made on "gourmet" crab cakes, steaks and flea market smoking jackets. He's turning out to be as lousy a father as Gigi is a mother. I don't see what's supposed to be so all fired romantic about that couple.

For one, Rex said he brought the jacket at the flea market, so it wasnt that expensive. He also said those were some cheesy crabcakes out of a box, so again, not that expensive, and the steak was already in the in the fridge and I doubt that a steak cost more than that damn z-box.

Yah, flea markets are where you go to get [!@#$%^&*] for cheap, including jackets.

As a proud Natalie fan I found today's scenes to be very cathartic! I never had a problem with Jessica, whether ET was playing her or BW. But Natalie was "right on" in what she said to Viki. But Papa Clint needed to hear her rant too. Hopefully we'll get one scene where Natty tears Clint a new one

I thought today's show was very well rounded.

My favorite scenes from today's show were with Viki and Natalie. I was leery at first because it just pains me when others go off on my favorite charcter but they turned out quite wonderfully. I loved that Viki let Natalie unleash her hurt and anger out on her, such a mother, and I loved that Viki made sure she know how much she loved her. They were just phenomenal scenes, now give me one where Natalie is laying into Clint as well.

Ummmm....I do believe that there is finally someone that I can watch Todd with, Tea.

Liking Jessica and Brody the more they are on together.

John and Blair don't make me ill anymore.

Didn't even mind Gigi and Rex although I'm still sick of seeing so much of them.

The Rex/Gigi scenes did nothing for me. I thought they were the weakest part of today's show. I LOL'ed at work very loudly when Blair called Marty a bitch

I loved the Viki/Natalie scenes. I was totally expecting to go back to hating Natalie with white passion the way I did during the heart transplant story, but the scenes were so well written and acted that I understood where she came from. I also loved that eventually, she got the anger out and was able to verbalize what she was feeling. I loved how Viki was with her, and how she let her rant and rave. I also loved the marshmallow scene with Viki and Charlie.

Go Natalie! I loved her calling Viki out on how they always baby Jessica and always make excuses for her all while coming down on Natalie. I also loved how Viki handled her. Both had excellent points. I really liked Nat breaking down and crying and Viki comforting her and reassuring her that she does in fact love her just as much as her other children

Really liked the Todd and Tea stuff. Those two work well together. Im hoping they stay just friends at this point but I saw some sparks here

Rex and Gigi need a story. All they do is have sex. Speaking of which, both of them are freeloaders. Its way past time for Gigi to move out of Viki's place and get her own home

Yes...they made sure to mention today that the things Rex bought for his evening of romance with Gigi were not that expensive. The smoking jacket at the flea market, the crab cakes at the grocery store, etc... They have also mentioned that the money Ultra Violet took in from Puddle of Mudd's concert helped his finances, and helped him book the Plain White T's.

Me Too Cheap. All of it. I half expected Viki to apologize and try to convince Natalie that what she felt wasn't valid. But Viki didn't do that at all. She acknowledged that Natalie is treated differently, but I thought she was very convincing when she told Natalie she didn't love her less, and I think Natalie believes it. But I don't think that's going to be enough for Natalie. We may not see her address how her parents favor Jessica again, but she's not going to forgive and forget so easily this time. I do wish Natalie would have brought up that Viki didn't forgive Tina or Todd for their roles in the whole thing and their intentions were significantly less malevolent than Jessica's.

I really liked the Todd and Tea stuff too. They do have an easy cameraderie (sp?). I really liked Todd today for the first time.

I also agree about Rex and Gigi. They do need a story, but I think they're setting something up. I want to like this couple again. FF isn't the greatest actress, but she has a charm that I really enjoy, and Rex at one time, was one of my favorite characters. I miss that.

Why isn't Carlivati explaining Janet's / Lee's disappearance for all of these years ??? Last week when she showed up @ The Buchanan Mansion - Renee's reaction was "Lee - I thought you were dead ???" and then nothing. Also - Renee said "Why should I hide you ???" and Janet said, "I have a good reason" and again nothing - cut to commercial and no explanation. Very jarring !!!

As a long time OLTL viewer who remembers Lee's storyline very well it's extremely frustrating and imo - very poor writing - something I wouldn't expect from Ron - especially if he went through the trouble of making "Janet" a character from the past "Lee".

Explain where she has been, why she's not dead, and about her daughter Marilynn who thought she murdered her mother !!!

Maybe Ron is saving the story for Janet / Lee to tell Renee & Nora now that she's revealed herself to Nora too...

I can only hope...Otherwise making Janet --- Lee, was a complete waste of time !!!

Also a scene or two with Janet / Lee and Viki and/or Dorian would be interesting as well - since the character was involved with both back then.

I think he only had her as her old character as a wink to history, not as a story to explore. That isn't the only time he was better at mentioning history than utilizing it (everything with Tina's return).

On AMC years ago, they hired the same actress who had once played a hooker (Lettie Jean) to play a TV station owner who wanted to hire Liza Colby. No mention was made of her past until Adam Chandler showed up at the station, dredged up her prostitute past, and forced her to not hire Liza.
