OLTL: Discussion for the week March 9


Recommended Posts

  • Members

LOL, I heard this panting-squealing-grunting from the TV last night and turned to see the Incredible Hulk Marty lift that car from Cole's body.

Still, I have to give OLTL props. If it had been any other ABC Daytime show, we would have had Big Stwong Man (Ryan/Zach/Sonny/Jason) doing all the heavy lifting. I'm still shocked McNostril wasn't the one to save the day. I sorta like the idea that Marty's maternal instinct made her do whatever it took to save her son.

I was impressed. The whole thing really did look like a deserted road at night. And that crane shot at the beginning, when the camera panned from Gigi's car to Cole's which was upside down in a ditch. Then, from above, the camera pans right down to Cole and his phone ringing by his body.

Is it Sweeps? The show had so many twists and turns yesterday. I didn't FF once (except when Stacy started stroking her boobs. I sorta knew what was coming next).

Monday's episode was amazing. Marty finally has her breakthrough for her son! Finally! Stacy's finally getting on my nerves..wanting Rex, how original, haha... The best part of the episode was the tribute to Phil. Very classy & touching. RIP.

Antonio's probably out for good. But, Nora will probably be in Tomorrow's opening, HBS is still on Contract. They have already updated that one. I believe this is Part A. Tomorrow will be Part B, which will be.

Rex,Gigi,Shane,Brody,Jess,Bo,Nora,Clint,Cristian,Todd,Marty,John,Blair,Starr,

Cole, Langston,Markko,Lola,Natalie,Jared,Viki,Charie,Dorian.

Weareclouds, I don't think you're getting it. Both versions of the opening have been updated and aired now. Nora/Hillary B. Smith is featured in neither.

Version 1:

Rex

Gigi

Shane

Brody

Jessica

Natalie

John

Blair

Marty

Todd

Starr

Cole

Markko

Lola (added from the other version)

Langston

Dorian

Charlie (added from the other version)

Viki

Version 2: (from what I remember)

Starr (new)

Schuyler (new, 2 shots)

Rex

Bo

Matthew (new, 2 shots)

Jared

Natalie

Cristian

Layla

Talia

John

Michael

Marcie

Viki (back in black)

Did anyone notice if Clint was in this version today either? I didn't catch him.

I know that Antonio and Nora were missing, Talia is still in, and Starr, Schuyler and Matthew were added. Stacy is still missing.

I'm very curious about this opening now. At first I thought that I just missed Nora, but she was still in, but now that someone else noticed the same thing, I guess I wasn't wrong.

No, you weren't wrong. And yes, Clint was after Matthew. I think we're gearing up for three openings, maybe to make updates easier. I think they also want a lot of the mainstays featured in two openings, i.e. Rex, Bo, Starr, etc. I could see a potential part C going like this:

Cristian

Antonio

Bo

Nora

Clint

Jessica

Stacy

Gigi

Justin (Matthew's bully)

Marty

Todd

Blair

Dorian

Viki

With this setup, it's extremely easy to remove Antonio's old shots and put new ones in of Hank and Rachel immediately, like with the Sarah exit.

EDIT: Hank is short-term, so not so much for him, lol.

Justin the leprechaun is not on contract. He's not going to be in any opening. I assume Nora is getting a new picture. They have yet to add Stacy and

so I think the opening shown today is a work in progress.

Really liked today's show BTW with the exception of Sssstaaaccyyy.

I love Stacy even though--as a male--she is not my type as far as her blond hair and slope nose. I know I'm drawn to her right now because she's a bad girl and all guys are drawn to bad girls just like women are drawn to bad boys. I root for Gigi and Rex but I'm now rooting for Stacy--it's odd.

So far this car crash seems lame. We need some consequences, not reconciliations.

    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
    • Sally Spencer was a decent actress, but the writing destroyed the "M.J." that Kathleen Layman had built. Layman had a quiet strength about her, and she and Osburn really felt like sisters. Spencer's character should have been either an unmentioned sister, or maybe Jake's that grew up close to Kathleen, M.J. and the rest, but was away for a few years before joining the force. Kristen Marie was o.k., but I always got a mousier vibe from her. Being pigeon-holed with Scott for most of the run hurt things for her, as well.  The Loves were also underserved between Rhonda Lewin and Philece Sampler. Philece would have been better as Nicole. Thank goodness Anne Heche  showed up for the next round of auditions. Christopher Holder was mediocre as Peter, but given a shot, I think Marcus Smythe could have stuck around for a while.  I would have had Peggy Lazarus be a Frame -- possibly an ex-wife for Vince with an agenda. Smythe and Hollen had  a fun chemistry that could have kept the two around.. Bringing recasts for  Cheryl and Ben back mixing it up with other Frames. Corys, Lawrences at the time might have kept all the families stronger. 
    • shoot...he said in that Locher room with Krista. I think he met her before that---she was doing Broadway and they had mutual friends or an agent maybe?
