I loved today's show. All of it. Every single moment of it, and that hasn't happened in a very long time.

First off, I freaking ADORE Viki and Charlie. They are one of the most romantic couples on One Life besides my Jared/Natalie, it never fails every time they are on, I am all smiles. Charlie's proposal was not moonlight and candles, but it was ALL Charlie, everything from the heart. Totally sigh worthy.

Enjoyed the scenes with Todd, Blair and that group. For the first time I think since this storyline started I felt for Cole and Starr. As much as I don't think Starr and Cole are ready to be parents, I don't know if I think Marcie and Michael should get the baby or not. It's like a double edged sword.

I like Brody, a lot. Would like to see him in something more than a shoulder to cry on.

Clint is one insecure man, he was never that was, or I don't remember him being that way. He sure is in a rush to get married. Looks like they are both afraid of something.

I loved today's episode. I haven't been this pleased with OLTL in a long time. I loved the Viki & Clint scene at the beginning. It's nice to see that the writers remember that these 2 people have been through so much together that they really know each other and still care for each other. Charlie proposing was everything it should have been. Heart felt, simple and just a little bit funny:

Charlie: So I was just kinda hoping that the right words would just come to me

Viki: How's that working out :lol::wub::lol:

I also really liked the Jessica & Brody scenes. I loved that he stayed with her and that the writers made a point of explaining there connection. When they met in St. Anne's Brody was working through his emotions for Shane, a child he loved like his own but that he knew wasn't. Jessica found out and they connected. Until today's episode it had never dawned on me that Jessica was going through the same thing. She had Chloe but knew she wasn't her baby. Perfect. I love when this show hits all the beats.

I must also say that I actually felt for Starr and Cole today. The scenes revolving around Hope were touching and overall I thought very well acted. No scene chewing just quite performances by a talented group.

So do I. Dorian comes to life with Ray and I think it's because he is her equal. Don't get me wrong I love David and Dorian to but unless TW returns for good then the show needs to find her someone.

How sweet Tea is, she wants to be with the kids. This after she was more than happy to use her friendship to manipulate Starr into exonerating Todd. Tea also used Todd's children (or child, at the time) during her marriage to Todd.

Blair raised Sam and Jack when Todd abandoned them, and now it's happy family for Todd and Tea.

I keep waiting to see more of a bond between Marty and Cole. People used to joke that they were too close, back with Christina Chambers in the role, but now she barely notices him.

I actually liked the scenes with Cole and Marty today. It was a very realistic conversation between a mother and her teenage son (without all the yelling that goes on at my house) where she was trying to teach him and make him see the larger life lesson. I thought those scenes were well played. Then they had to ruin them by juxtaposing them with the John and Blair scenes. I am happy that John, for once, made it clear that he wants someone and stopped being so ambiguous. I hate that he tried to make it seem that Blair's feelings for Todd were equally to blame for them not being able to make their marraige work. John's a douchebag. Let Marty have him.

I was too distracted by her happiness over getting together with John again to focus on the rest of what she was saying with Cole.

I'm glad Jack isn't a Tea fan. I hope he keeps this up.

The goodbye between Dorian and Ray was very sad, and very frustrating. Poor Robin Strasser.

I just got caught up with yesterday's show..

It's lonely being a Todd/TSJ fan on this board but god help me I love the guy. Blair and Todd are one of those couples that I don't care how many times it's been done I love to see an argument between the two. And that ending scene with Todd and the boys visiting Tea was great :)

Todd and Tea! Loved the scenes with the boys at the house

I felt bad for Blair. Getting dumped by her husband and seeing her kids enjoy time with their father and his ex without her. Im glad John was honest with her and didnt string her along.

Why couldnt Ray ship his psycho daughter elsewhere and he stay with Dorian?

Im surprised Cole is even eligible to graduate considering how much time he missed with the drugs and rehab

    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
