OLTL: Discussion for the week May 4

[Bright Eyes]

Thank God I skipped today then.

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.

[DRW50]

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.

[Cheap21]

they need to get rid of this Destiny chick. Shes the worst actor Ive seen in a long time

[Khan]

Boy, do I wish he were (still alive)!

[Juliajms]

If a weak fat joke directed at a 14 year old is the best line you've heard in ages, this genre is worse off then I feared.

[chyti]

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.

[Juliajms]

I know. At the very least he'd have his own little posse.

[detroitpiston]

Why just get rid of her? Why not just put all their annoying asses on a bus and have it plunge off a cliff, Veronica Mars style(except they all die! muwhahaha).

[quartermainefan]

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.

[Juliajms]

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.

[Antoyne]

I do believe the acting coaches should be down the throats of a good bit of the rest of the cast(I'm looking at you KA, BB, CH, and FF) before the issue of a bit player like Destiny is addressed.

[DRW50]

I thought Jack was supposed to be a Todd in training.

I think OLTL needs a few less jackasses. The show is brimming over with unpleasant men passed off as leads.

[Juliajms]

I'm sure you're right. I think it would be better if Jack is a good boy when he grows up though. Sam is bound to be nuts.
