Tea is out of her freaking bird! I was SHOCKED at the end. I love the theatrics she's been pulling with everyone lately. "I...KILLED her!" was so melodramatic it worked. It's so frustrating that she is doing that much for Todd, though.

The kids were interesting today. Starr really insulted Langston and I hope it's a hard road for the two of them, because if I were Langston I'd be PISSED. Cole and Markko finally acted like best buddies, which was nice.

Marty and Wes aren't clicking for me. I like Wes' face, but he needs an acting coach.

Tea is nuts. She is even more crazy than Todd and that's saying something. Sometimes I wonder if she's not setting Todd up for a big fall. Other times, it's like Todd grabbing her collar and pushing her around (and maybe even being a killer) really turns her on. Sick and twisted! But that's what OLTL does best.

And if it means she gets up the noses of goody-two-shoes like Nora, John, Blair and Marty, then so much the better -- although Todd should have gone down for what he did to Marty and tried to do to Starr's baby.

I'd love to see some behind the scenes footage of when they filmed the Tea scene.

How nice to know Marty's pining away for John. Why are we back to John and Marty again? Please don't have Marty "give" herself to John as some sign of their great love. She shouldn't be with any man for a long long time. Then again if she isn't with a man, she wouldn't have a storyline, since this is all about John and Todd.

I think OLTL is on fire right now. Sure, I still don't care about the youngsters and their storylines outside of Langston but that's to be expected. I'm going to miss Tea--I have always loved her time on the show and this turn she's putting her all into it, as if to convince them to bring her back full-time. She and Todd work better than Todd and anyone else on the canvas at the moment.

Whoever pointed out that it seems that Tea gets off a bit on Todd's craziness as it feeds her craziness, I think that's an awesome view. I think Tea's always been a bit off even though she does have a good head on her shoulders in terms of getting things done. Having a few twisted characters on OLTL is needed right now. They're also in need of a real bad guy outside of Todd and not a resurrected Victor Lord or Mitch Lawrence. It's fine to have everyone have a bad streak now and then, but they need a 110% baddie that reeks havoc on everyone just to do it.

    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
    • oh, definitely! It's too bad she hit the start of a rough transition period for the show. She shines, but she's stuck with bad story and some (if not exactly bad) not great co-stars.  Uh, who did Maureen O'Sullivan play? (Sigh--and only if I'd understood exactly who and how wonderful Teresa Wright was in '86) God, the summer of '84 was literally one event after another. Kim's outfit alone must've been worth a small fortune. And poor Maeve. She looks so uncomfortable. Rebecca Hollen told a story on Locher Room where Maeve dropped the f-bomb during the shooting of it. For some reason, she wasn't being listened to, and had just had enough. As a producer, I would've been holding my breath as my pregnant actress kept walking around strange and undoubtably uneven sets in that long skirt.
