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.

    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
