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.

    • There's some irony in Philip being forgiven, because it forces everyone to admit that Victor was wrong to change his will.  Everyone, eventually including Xander, (I presume), seems to think it was wrong for Victor to divide his estate in Xander's favor.  I appreciated Stephanie forgiving Philip, because she's got no skin in that game.  But, Belle's line about Philip missing Xander because he misses Bo did not ring true.  I think Philip would be sad if Bo dies, but I think he's more concerned currently about Xander. I am enjoying this EJ mystery so much that I am hereby taking a vow not to read spoilers.  I am also vowing — for the last time — to stop harping on this, but: the concept of a “sepsis treatment” remains absurd. Hospitals prevent sepsis through vigilant infection control; once sepsis sets in, it causes multiple organ failures. Treatment involves supporting each failing organ individually. The notion that a single medication could magically reverse organ failure is medically laughable. However, I like the contrast of Kim going through cancer, which is incurable in their universe.  Kayla's comment on the health of both of her siblings was both heartbreaking and an interesting twist.  MBE is also totally underrated.  She is carrying the weight of so many stories.   And, I like the use of Kayla as an audience surrogate.  She's arguably the most "real" person in Salem. Kayla isn't psychic, she wasn't SORASed, she's not a billionaire, and she doesn't have a bionic eye.  So, I enjoy that we get her perspective of the nuttiness that surrounds her.
    • But why worry about something that might not happen? Right now, most things revolve around the Duprees. We have no idea if or how long that will continue. For now, it's working.
    • The Duprees not having any staff is a bugbear for me. They've included the background staff at the Country Club but no one at the Dupree home. Even just an extra bringing in a tray of food/drinks or responding to a request from Anita would suffice.
    • Shut up, Dante and Lois.  I actually don't mind this particular soap trope, but in the context of this storyline, it just feels forced and unnecessary. If anything, this Dante/Gio tension needed to begin months ago. Plus, this storyline, in general, isn't doing Lois any favors either.  Emma comforting Gio was really sweet though. It's definitely time for the two of them to have their first kiss. And, Joss playing Secret Agent Barbie will just never work.
    • Note to makeup - Smitty’s eyebrows, bad clamshell look.

    • Okay I can buy that when Brook Lynn was a teen.  Now she knows the child is a boy one would think she'd be slightly suspicious.  Then again, Gio looks nothing like either of them so maybe not lol.
    • I've been behind & just got caught up & the last 3 days were amazing!
    • Yeah.  The hot, poor bad boy with a chip on his shoulder but with a heart of gold was a common soap trope in the 80s

    • That's been an issue with me... the lack of a cohesive 'Have Not' crowd that has focus other than Leslie/Eva.   I would beef up Jan, Mona, Laura, Joey, and few other male characters.. and not just be out to overthrow the Duprees.. but co-existing and broadening the scope of the show since the show is called Beyond the Gates. I think the set up the show has with everything revolving around the Duprees will become predictable especially if they always win.   It would be like Victor Newman on Y & R for 40+ years.. always winning, hardly ever losing.   With MVJ/Guza.. both trained under that mindset... I fear that will happen.   I've always heard from a performer that is playing a character like Leslie/Dana that you have to find the victim/hurt beneath the surface in order to play a villain/villainess... and I think that's why I enjoy watching her.. because she brings so much more to the part than what the writers put on the page.
    • I figure that was really hard for Dom to do. I completely GET why they wrote it the way they did but I wonder if it was necessary. Meanwhile I have 2 really icky ideas in my head. Drew is going to blame Tracy KNOWING it was not her. Dante is going to blame Lulu.  After that, everyone else is going to be mad at Lois.  Tracy is going to double down on wanting to get rid of Sonny. Sonny's going to be more dug in to stay because he now has a new descendant.
