The Wes death seems pointless but I'll wait and see where this all goes.

I expect David to play Dorian during this whole storyline. I think I'm going to like it considering it's been awhile since the Buchanans 'got theirs' and for awhile--anyway--it seems that might happen.

Yes, this is about the third or fourth time we've seen Barbara since Jessica and Brody were admitted to St. Ann's. Most of her scenes were in group therapy sessions, but we have also seen her a couple of times walking around St. Ann's as well.

Seeing Blair warped to push Marty and Marty/John is not a pretty sight. Marty was once one of OLTL's most popular heroines. If the show has bungled her so badly that they have to pull these stunts I wish Blair could be left out of it.

You have to love the Buchanans after years of scheming to stop evil David, now begging him for scraps. :lol: Unfortunately for me I think they're supposed to be the heroes in this story.

They did deserve it <she begrudgingly admits> and it was really good. Sadly however I think this is the payoff of almost two years of story development, because Tuc Watkins is NOT on contract and he's NOT staying to run Buchanan Enterprises with Dorian, and fight his brothers for control. It's just not happening. So don't expect the Buchanans to have to live with these consequences for very long.

Will somebody notify Michael Easton that he desperately needs to work on a new acting choice to display cold fury? frustration? I dunno what he's really going for in those scenes with Blair (and formerly Natalie or Evangeline) but I don't think disgust and revulsion is it.

I'm a little annoyed with Dorian. I think this whole take down the Bukes thing is getting old for her. It's time for the writers to dig deeper with the character, I mean how many more times can we go here with Dorian? I miss that Malone complexity of Dorian. She needs less cartoonish material and a more intelligent psychological s/l. I applaud Strasser for always selling it, but I think she is utterly riveting when she is rocking the glam and the 3D human being at the same time. Dorian is an awesome character and she needs/deserves to be written at ALL times on the same level as Lemay-era Iris Carrington. As Rhino said, David will come and go, Dori Lori needs to stand strongly on her on. We don't care that she is in her mid-60s, she and Viki are still the two most fascinating characters on the show who are MORE than capable of driving front burner, intelligently written, quality quality quality story.

I think this may be the only way we'll get to see Dorian. When she stops driving plot, and being the foil, she will become less and less relevant, the way Viki has become. There's something sad about characters who lost all purpose long ago (like Renee). As much as I'm sure RC would love to explore Dorian's psyche, that's never going to happen with Frons around.
