It's a shame that she's only had one main storyline in this show.

She should be as traumatized (or causing as much trauma) as the other actresses on the show.

I just don't get why they don't use her more.

Oh gawd, this Rex/Gigi/Stacy/Shane is nothing but a crapfest. It needs to end NOW!

Whoa I didn't know Lewis was gunna be related to Rebecca.

I love Jack, and you can tell TSJ enjoys workin with the kid that plays him. He's a perfect Todd Jr. The sex talk with Tea and Todd was quite funny.

Kyle Lewis....Rebecca Lewis...I can't believe I didn't make that connection. I see he's shady just like his sister.

The kid is definitely great.

Tea is even more desperate than usual. Having women fight over Todd and Todd presented as a sex god at the same time as they have a story about the fallout of a gang rape he spearheaded is very unappetizing.

Natalie and Jared and their excuses for not letting Starr know Chloe is hers remind me of what Karen and Marco said about keeping Katrina Karr from knowing her daughter was alive. That story went on for many years, but they knew how to tell stories like that back then.

I think a lot of the Tea, Todd, Blair material is very well done, but like Carl I also find it at least somewhat distasteful, and I think it only keeps Todd frozen in a very bad place until they address Tarty. If that all makes any sense.

You seem to have a good handle on OLTL history and characters. If you had to resolve Tarty, how would you do it?

I would've brought back Powell and Zach. But not like this. I would've done what was rumored, have it turn out that the Todd since January, or perhaps even last June if you want to totally undo Tarty, has been Powell with Todd's face. (Powell has a history of overidentifying with Todd). Todd would return just in time to battle it out with Powell, though Marty and the other women would have a central role as, fortunately, it seems they do in the next week or two. Powell would die in his arms, but Todd would be shaken to the core by the fact that he was looking at a twisted mirror image of himself that was not far from the truth.

Disgusted with himself, he would divest himself of most of his money, give The Sun to Jack and Sam, and disappear for six months offscreen in a quest to re-conceptualize himself (much like the writers need to do) and become something new, and return with a whole new purpose. And perhaps a shaved head. Just because.

^I'd like that.

Don't feel too bad there Toups, some people at another board (which shall remain nameless), were confident that Kyle was Rebecca's son. And were amazed to find out that he was her brother.

DOES Kyle being Rebecca's brother really make a difference? Ugh, I feel like an idiot for not making the connection either, but really, Rebecca's been off-canvas forEVER. And it doesn't appear he even has an axe to grind with Todd, because the actor is playing no actual feeling about being wrapped up in the saga of Starr's baby. I'm just trying to see the point. Hope there was one.

Vee, it would be a shame for Powell to give up that adorable Sean Moynihan face, though... Can we go full-on Jim Reilly and have it be a rubber Todd mask?

Whatever. I can't make heads or tails of this show anymore.

I second that.

Of course they had to go the typical route with Kyle blackmailing Nat and Jared. Their confrontation really fell flat for me.

Yeah, I was expecting more "oomph" in those scenes. Something was a wee bit off but I can't put my finger on it.
