OLTL: Discussion for the week January 26

[SFK]

Dorian to Moe: I'm giving you my largesse.

Okay, I'm really surprised that they didn't work in a "large ass" joke from David, i.e., "Dorian! Such gifts of the flesh are dirty potholes on the road to nirvana. And it's not *that* large. (off Dorian's look) Why don't I just namaste out of this..."

Did you all catch nuteacherDylan's "Summer Don-na" nod to SNL?

[Toups]

I missed both jokes. That's what I get for not doing other things.

[SFK]

Toups, thanks for combining! I think this is the third time I started a new thread at the same time as another poster.

Good lord these kiddies are horrible. I have absolutely NO interest in Matthew and his bratty 13-14 yr old friends. Seeing them today, I thought, seriously we have to watch them?

Also have zero interest on Lola and she needs to take herself and her boring story out of town

The David story needs to end. What a waste of time. Not feeling Dorian here at all.

[rhinohide]

Love your Avatar Cheap!

I didn't watch. David is just one gag after another. The rest just doesn't interest me at all.

[Cheap21]

thanks!

You really didnt miss much. The show was a bore today

[Cheap21]

Whatever happened to Bo and Nora arresting Dorian? A few weeks ago Charlie and Viki went to them to press charges against Dorian for what she did to Charlie last year. Dorian knowing this was coming fled to St. Blazes bc there was no extradition treaty. Dorian finds out that David is a Buch and comes back to town and its as if the whole reason why she even left was forgotten. I cant imagine that Viki would just drop it. Today Nora goes to Dorians house, talks to her and its not even brought up. Did they just drop it or did I miss something?

[DRW50]

I didn't think they had any evidence against Dorian, but I'm not sure why it was dropped.

Years ago I thought Eddie Alderson was only hired because his sister plays Starr, but he's gotten better with the years (while KA has gotten worse). I'm enjoying Matthew's story, even though this all seems very After School specialy. I'm just glad to see a few stories which don't involve Todd. I think he's killing the show.

hmm was today setup for a Natalie vs Jessica for custody of Hope? For all intents and purposes, Natalie has been that baby's mother since birth since she's been raising and watching over her. She's grown very attached to her over the past couple of months and is feeling very protective especially after Jessica's recent revelation. Today she refuses to allow Jessica to see Hope and I can see her fighting her once she's released using her mental illness against her as grounds for why Jessica would be an unfit parent.

[KMan101]

Too bad Hope isn't even Jessica's. LOL. I can't WAIT for that revelation to come out.

The whole setup to Natalie vs. Jessica IS interesting, but it's not being handled well and seems a tad contrived.

And yeah, I almost nearly forgot that the reason Dorian fled to St. Blazes was because she was going to be arrested by Bo. And now Nora just walks into her house and it's like nothing's happened? WTF? I MUST have missed something about that.

[EricMontreal22]

I'm so confused by Natalie's reaction to hating "that bitch" now. It feels like Dena Higley scripting to me...

BTW for those of you who migth love the inane titles for each episode ABC.com now lists them in their recaps (their recaps have also become MUCH briefer)

[rhinohide]

I've been expecting them to head there for awhile, but today threw me for a loop. I wish we'd seen Natalie suffering the after affects from her time in the SR. As far as I could tell, once she got out, all was right with the world. Today we hear she's been having nightmares and can't abide small spaces and is afraid to go into the basement. It would have been nice to have a few scenes SHOWING us, instead of just one telling us about these lasting repercussions. I am thinking they're doing it to justify something Natalie's going to do in the future. They have to amp up her torment to balance out whatever action she's going to take.

[SteveFrame]

I would be more upset by the Jessica / Natalie thing if they hadn't thrown in the Natalie and Vicki convo last week. That helped some.

I am looking forward to them even though like others I wished we had seen more to Natalie being upset about being locked up before last week.

[rhinohide]

And those scenes were so fabulous, it makes me wish we'd had more. RC seems to have difficulty striking a balance between overkill (ie. months of buildup with Tarty and Marty sitting in a room wearing a nightgown) and completely glossing over critical building blocks to a story (Natalie's ptsd).
