Jessica/Brody

Nora/Mathew dealing with his paralysis

I'm finding Todd/Tia kind of hot, but wrong. Tia needs to wake up.

I'm interested in Starr/Marcie finding out about Hope and the fallout.

Yeah, it's a stretch to find a whole lot to love right now. OLTL is still way better than GH, but it's not as good as it could be.

Hi,

I don't normally watch OLTL but I tuned in to see what Powell Lord looks like (he has aged amazingly)

and I have to say I liked the obnoxious kid bullying the kid in the wheelchair. The best line I've heard on a soap in ages was when the kid was talking to this girl "Destiny" (is that really her name?) and called her "Density". I laughed.

I still can't believe the young son of the richest, most powerful family in town is being bullied and nobody cares. That would never happen.

If Asa were still alive, the bully and his entire family would just disappear one day.

I can't believe the young son of the richest, most powerful family in town is being bullied. Kids are so materialistic that every one should want to be his friend just because his last name is Buchanan.

I'm sorry, it is something a kid like that would actually say and his staccato line delivery makes it extra obnoxious. I didn't know it was a fat joke, I assumed it was a dumb joke because that is what kids usually mean when they call someone dense. The kid is like Scotty Baldwin in training or something; he cracks me up.

Oh, you are very right about that Q and he is funny. I'm kind of hoping they keep him around, if though he's mean. Every show needs their jackasses. I sort of see him as a Todd in training.

I think Destiny is ok. She's the kind of support player I want to see once a week for a segment or two. The actress may not be that good yet, but that's what acting coaches are for. She can improve and I think it's good to have a bit more diversity.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • 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!
