I don't keep saying it. I said it once. And I said the date wrong. It was March 2nd which was the day of the winter storm. And it was the day that Zach & Kendall made love. Both happened on the 2nd. I just stated the date wrong. Sorry to ruffle the feathers.

My point is still the same - both events happened on this Monday that is in the ratings here and the storm had more influence on the ratings than Zach & Kendall making love.

I just am reallying liking AMC right now not a huge Kendall fan butI like Thorsten's Zach.

I don't care who he's with he's one of the characters. I like his acting chops so if its

the good, bad, ugly doesn't matter. Esp scenes w/Myrtle

will miss them. They'd flirt ....I imagined in another time they would be lovers or something

they were so in tuned to each other.

As for Tri's

tired of them and quads... isn't there something else in drama you can do?

Maybe if they're "spaced out" not back to back or something...

If I was to choose the ones I like right now ... on DOL w/the Biran D actor

just started watching it again so I don't know all the names of the characters

but he wants to marry her and she is in love w/ the other guy who had an affair early on w/his mom

I like this story for some reason also, Y/R had a hell of a quad that' turned into a quint adding Sharon to the mix

with the Cane/Billy/Lily/Chole deal; they seamlessly integrated and remixed all the players

and moved into a tri it was definitely

a WTFleck moment for me...didn't see that coming. I had to rewind it

came from left field.

For the first time in a few months I was able to watch OLTL without fast forwarding through any scene. That's always a sign that a show is really good and hitting on all cylinders if I can enjoy every scene. I won't state what scenes that I usually fast forward through since I don't want to be biased against fans who actually enjoy those scenes.

Cole has really emerged as a great actor and his stuff has been portrayed greatly. The Stacy/Rex/Gigi situation is just hot. Natalie/Jess is starting to heat up. Dorian with her family is really intense. Todd just knows how to make anything enjoyable. The Marty drama. Starr has affected things and should win an Emmy this year. Schuyler has really stepped up his game from his days on GH big time. Even the first relationship test for Markko/Langston is going to start heating up.

The thing that really brought me back to OLTL after I took a break from it after December was Matthew. I mean you talk about a simple emotional storyline being affected very well and its always good to see a vet get a chance to show her skills like Nora has last week.

The best soap of 2008 b/c of head writer Ron C. is really starting to heat up. I know a lot of times soaps step it up for sweeps and use a tragedy like car accidents to be good but this one has been good for a year now. I watch all 8 soaps at least once a week to see how their doingand this is the best right now. I don't think you can honestly say that you're not satisfied with the show as of late.

Its ratings nationwide aren't really reflective in how well the soap has been performing in quality. Its clearly been ABC's best soap since last year and its going to start showing up in the ratings once they catch the fever on the rest of the nation. Right now locally OLTL is killing in cities like New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and some more. OLTL is definitely ready to finally breakout in 2009 at some point become the #3 or #4 soap I guarantee it.

    • Cady had a fairly posh accent or manner as Rosanna - the character was a 180 from Dixie when she went to ATWT, and it was a huge success initially. As someone mostly only familiar with the nagging, miserable or clueless Dixie of the mid-late '90s and early 2000s it was what convinced me Cady could act. I thought she was incredible in her first run. Later, in future stints, her hair and story and performances were all over the place but a lot of that was down to the show for me. She brought some of Rosanna back with her to Dixie in her ill-fated return and a lot of people didn't like it, which I understood but I did think the character needed some change. I think she's had a little bit of the same persona and arch performance in every role she's played since, including Jennifer Horton at DAYS or Kelly at Y&R, who later became a maniac and was easily the worst work I've ever seen Cady do. It has kind of infected her overall mannerisms, I'll allow that, but I do think she brought Dixie back together as herself while still evolving the character when she returned to AMC again in 2012-13. Nonetheless, for me the upshot is that this is a character where Cady's kookier recent performance style suits the role. But I can understand it grating for people.
    • Yeah, Loretta Swit's passing stings. My late dad LOVED the show (he died last November) and watched it religiously. In first run and repeats.  And I was literally born the day after the show's premiere, so I grew up with it! I know many loved later, softer Margaret, but I loved Early Hot Lips. In real life, I'm all for less misogyny, but to me, the early years of M*A*S*H were just funnier. May Loretta Swit rest in peace. Thanks for all the memories connected to my dad!

    • I agree that she isn't Dixie or Rosanna and shouldn't be acting like either. I just found it strange that she had a naive Southern character and a wealthy urbane character in the past and didn't experiment with accents before (unless I missed it, correct me if I'm wrong). She used to do improv characters on YouTube. She's probably doing something similar here.

    • And here I thought I'd never think about Lauren Tewes again after her brief appearance in Twin Peaks Season 3.
    • I may be the single person who does not mind Transatlantic Campy Pamela. I think it perfectly suits this sort of Absolutely Fabulous-esque supporting character she's playing much more than it did when Cady tried weird and often broad stuff at AMC* or Y&R, or later stints at ATWT. She's not Dixie and she's not trying to be. I will freely admit some of the other chances she took at other shows often came off stiff, hammy or downright mortifying (Kelly Andrews, come on down). (* - and I say that as one of the few who was somewhat into Cady trying to make Dixie more cosmopolitan in the Rosanna Cabot mold in mid-2000s AMC, just to liven the character up again)
    • There’s absolutely nothing exciting happening storyline wise but I’m always happy to see the vets on my screen so I’ll take what I can get. It’s also just nice to see them all dressed up in the same room, it always gives classic Y&R vibes. The best part? No Phyllis.

    • Well now we had Ashley's reaction-and weren't we all gasping when she appeared to hate it-but she was just joking!! She loved it. Now we have to see Abby's reaction, and maybe Mamie could come back to say she loves it. How about Jill via Zoom giving her opinion (she'll love it) and bring in a day player to play Mrs Martinez to say she loves it also... I feel bad to keep dumping on this show (not really) but when the choices they make are so inane, it's the only entertainment value the show has. Let's unpack the Nikki birthday story. So Claire wants to throw her Nana a birthday bash as away of endearing Kyle to Victor. Don't quite get the logic there,but OK. She hires a party planner who makes ridiculous suggestions. Slightly annoyed that Y&R are hiring someone for this role for 5 episodes when we never see doctors, co- workers etc. But OK to that to. With all the talk we are expecting something special. What we get is the Jazz Lounge hideously decorated with some ugly tablecloths and a few tacky decorations. They needed a planner for this? Then the guest list consists of family members (no grandchildren)and a few others. Hardly a party. As usual the costuming is pretty awful. A red and black theme ? And our guest of honor is sporting a do that looks like a cross between Cameron Diaz in Something about Mary and Marie from Roxette. They should have had an intimate dinner and ditched all the fanfare. Would have been way more believable.
