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.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      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?

      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.

      @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      Please register in order to view this content

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.

      It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.

      Daphnee and Trisha did a live stream on Instagram and confirmed they find out if the show gets picked up in May. This pretty much confirms they're on the primetime schedule like the Bell soaps. Fingers crossed we get a multi-year renewal announcement soon!  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJSsYb7PDv8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
