Members rangethatrover Posted February 4, 2009 Members Share Posted February 4, 2009 ITA- Daytime is seriously missing excellent villians and villianesses like Sheila Carter and the like... OLTL has had some excellent crazies. I loved Georgie, Alex, Ursulla, ect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted February 4, 2009 Administrator Share Posted February 4, 2009 I agree. I think OLTL is good right now. I'm enjoying everything involving Tea/Todd/Marty, David/Dorian and NatalieVSJessica. So far, only the drug storyline is what I'm not enjoying.

Members DavidEvanSmith Posted February 4, 2009 Members Share Posted February 4, 2009 Well if OLTL would do their research and remember ALL the ties Carlo Hesser has to the canvas, he could be that REAL bad guy who pulls the strings. He was the Stefano DiMera of OLTL! Amazing! Somewhere along the way, it was forgotten that his biggest grudge was with Viki, and he transitioned to become Antonio and Cristian's arch-enemy, which is simply a waste of the excellent actor they have in Thom Christopher. It's so sad how they've weakened the Carlo character in the last 10 years. He hasn't been the same since he left his last contract stint back in 1996.

Members SFK Posted February 4, 2009 Members Share Posted February 4, 2009 Good Lord, Carlo during the recent Tina s/l, he might as well have been sporting a top hat, cape, and taped on curled moustache. It was laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 4, 2009 Members Share Posted February 4, 2009 I think OLTL is stagnating because they already have so many twisted characters. They just don't know how to write those twisted characters. They worked hard to regress Marty but are afraid to actually do anything with her. Todd does terrible things and yet they still work overtime to try to make him look sympathetic. They also don't know how to write for sane characters. We get bores like Starr, or John, or declawed Blair, or smug Rex and Gigi. I wish they could just wrap up this story about Todd. Then start new stories which actually have some direction and some payoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JackPeyton Posted February 4, 2009 Members Share Posted February 4, 2009 there is only one thing i enjoy about OLTL - Tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SOAPSFOREVER Posted February 4, 2009 Members Share Posted February 4, 2009 This show is becoming unwatchable again. The Dorian and David scenes are just too over the top, and the drug storyline with the teens is a snooze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted February 4, 2009 Members Share Posted February 4, 2009 They killed off Lee way too soon. What a waste of making her a former character, absolutely no exploration of what her life has been like. They should have just left her as Janet.

Administrator Toups Posted February 4, 2009 Administrator Share Posted February 4, 2009 I agree that she was killed off way too quick. I bet this wasn't the original plan because back in October, they were setting something up with her and her mystery daughter. I guess the backstage battles continues.

Members Antoyne Posted February 4, 2009 Members Share Posted February 4, 2009 I wanted a flashback or something of her during that time..Did we ever get any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rangethatrover Posted February 4, 2009 Members Share Posted February 4, 2009 Based on someone who supposedly "is in the know" at another board - not Ravenbeauty either, OLTL has been a war zone between Frons and Carlivati since January.. with Valentini as the mediator.

Members SFK Posted February 4, 2009 Members Share Posted February 4, 2009 Interesting. I just look at someone like Janet Zarish, a NY theatre actress of a certain age, and I wish her TV stint would have lasted even longer. And I JUST put it together that she played Gertrude to Jeffrey Carlson's Hamlet at the Shakespeare Theatre in D.C., a friend of mine was in that production. But I was hoping Lee and Renee (who looks like she should be wearing a monkey coat and walking a leopard down 5th Avenue) would be involved in some sort of fun caper.

Members rangethatrover Posted February 4, 2009 Members Share Posted February 4, 2009 This same person claims that Roger Howarth is tired of ATWT and is chomping at the bit to return to OLTL, but CBS will not budge on his contract... He is a fan of Carlivati's... Take it or leave it.. I would think ATWT, despite everything, is a much happier set than OLTL, which is reportedly- icky as ever. Lee's killer is so obvious. I really, really like Janet Zarish. I wish her well.. I am not into OLTL or Y&R lately- OLTL seems like it could be heading into complete unwatchability again. But then you have a scene with Viki and David, and I am loving it. Storylinewise- I am way bored. I already know who killed Lee. The drug storyline is lame. Todd has truly run his course. The Blue Balls is coming up at least. And I may be the only one looking forward to this stripper from GL. I also dig Natalie vs. Jessica and Brody's body.
