OLTL: Discussion for the week March 30

[jinx_avery]

I think Rex lost most of his smarts when he found his true love Bo. Rex was on a roll when he was poised to be the next Brad Vernon/Max Holden type charming scoundrel. Now he is just another bland and boring do gooder and having JPL prance around in his underwear once a month doesn't solve the inherent character flaw.

Bo/Rex have a limited appeal for me (lots of telling us about how close they are, in almost all their scenes, like even OLTL can't believe these two men would ever spend time together), but without that relationship I'm not sure Rex would have lasted on the show during the time right after Jen died. Sometimes I'm still not sure exactly how Rex became a younger leading man, it doesn't suit JPL and doesn't benefit the show. I guess this is the price they pay for completely squandering the role of Joey Buchanan over the past decade.

I love Obama like everyone else, but oh man.

This is coming from someone who doesn't have SoapNet.

[Toups]

Looks like CBS/NBC/FOX aren't interrupting their program - wonder why ABC is. Oh well, doesn't affect me, I'm watching OLTL on the Canadian station.

[Scotty]

I hear ya....I'm in the same boat as you, both with Obama and no SOAPnet.

Somebody help me out here.....isn't it the policy of ABC that if more than half of an episode is pre-empted, then it is is generally re-broadcast at the show's next regularly scheduled time? (In this case, tomorrow afternoon).

Or am I just crazy? I thought I had heard that somewhere before, but I can't recall where or when. Maybe I'm just losing my mind.

[Scotty]

Lucky you....

To answer your question Errol....that's just how ABC is. They'll break into programming for pretty much anything...they always have.

Fish is fishy. Definitely a red herring in this serial killer storyline

I like Marty and Jessica scenes.

I also like how Brody is the voice of the audience as far as Stacey is concerned. And is there any female that this stud doesn't have chemistry with? Me want to go there.

At least they stuck glycerine in Gigi's eyes today. I can only feel that Farah has had a really smooth and easy life thus far, as she appears to have no way of harnessing any real sadness or tears. It is a shame, because she has a certain something.

Who wrote today, the scriptwriting is decent.

I love OLTL's ending montages.

ABC is now summarizing the press conference incase anybody missed the one hour pre-emption, heh.

[rhinohide]

I hope not! I'm just trying to get through this week as quickly as possible.

[Heyou]

True, they once broke into programming to show VP Al Gore's father's funeral.

[rhinohide]

I have a bone to pick with you guys. How come nobody mentioned that Jackie McNaughton is HOT?!!!! I'm ffing through yesterday's show, and I had to come to a screeching halt. Grey hair may not be everybody's cup of tea, but dayum! He looked good! Tats and everything.

[tina m]

Hopefully by Saturday MiniNova will have it up online.

[rangethatrover]

I noticed! Hot daddy. Tats. Me likey.

[Scotty]

Hey now....Al Gore and I are 5th cousins.

Seriously....I am not making that up. Our 3rd great grandfathers were brothers.

But, it's true about ABC.....they will interrupt programming for anything. Obama could just walk by one of their reporters and say hello and ABC would call it breaking news and talk about for two or three hours straight.

[daysfan]

I just have to come in here to say...SO TRUE! I watch OLTL on SoapNet most of the time now because ABC(and even its local affiliates, no other local affiliates do this either) pop in for EVERYTHING. If its cloudy outside, I can't tune into ABC because I know more than likely they'll be going on about it....its so annoying.
