I hope the Morasco Fiasco is coming to an end. It is sucking this show dry, IMO. I'll though I do like the chemistry between Gigi and Schy, I can't stand Stacy. Crystal Hunt may have been good on Guiding Light but she continues to call in her scenes on OLTL. I also wonder if the damage done to Rex's character could ever be repaired. Has this storyline done more damage than can be fixed. To me Rex is just an idiot now. I don't think I could ever take him seriously again. Considering he is a P.I. as well, it ruins any future storyline plot points if he is used in that capacity because he couldn't work his way out of a paper bag now. The biggest problem for me is that I've stopped caring for the character of Rex. We have all seen characters we like in stupid storylines before but this is the first time that storyline has killed the character for me. If OLTL wants to be daring in its story telling then have Rex find out and kill Stacy. Let the viewers know but let the rest of Llanview try to figure it out. Like a backwards who done it where the viewers know but the characters don't. Have Bo figure it out and have him arrest his surrogate son and give Bob Woods something of substance to play and if he figures it out quick enough, restore some luster to the LPD.

OMG, Dorian, the scenery is aching with bite marks. :lol: She is on some crazy shiz today, and what was that little pill she popped? I love how she pushed her liberal beliefs on the Riveras. :P I was beginning to worry about her with Ray gone and all, but knock on wood, if today's any indication I feel like they are gearing her up for something good. I HOPE.

And again today she dismissed Rachel like a stranger.

ETA: And if Blair's lawyer doesn't look like Alicia Minshew's stunt double...

I don't think she was any better on GL. The writing for her on GL had more built-in layers since Lizzie had always been disturbed, and the story had plenty of great actors to carry Crystal. This story has none of that.

Rex has been a self-righteous idiot ever since they started this story with Gigi. As soon as they put him back together with Gigi they are just going to pretend everything was fine, and it was all Stacy's fault. None of this works for me because JPL and FF have zero chemistry and when they're together they make both characters detestable. The most character-damaging moments for Rex in my eyes were when he kept bitching about Dorian not giving him a video game system for Shane.

I still wish they weren't going to have Dorian go nuts over losing a man. Robin Strasser must be humiliated, but then she probably knows she isn't going to have another story, she just has to roll with the punches.

Some think her not knowing Rachel is a joke about the recast, but this is the third time Rachel has been recast.

Not feeling over the top drunk Dorian at all. She came across like a shrill, confused old lady.

On a side note: I really wanted to punch Markko's parents. There comes a point when you can only let mom and dad oppress you so much before you say "f*ck it, I'm out."

Poor Marcie!! Having to give away Hope was like that was so noble, very Marcie like.

Dorian went NUTS today! Ruining things for Markko/Langston, firing Sean, kicking out Moe/Noelle... How dare Ray break her heart!

I also wonder how Cole will get out of trouble after the cop caught him with the pills..

Solid episode for OLTL.

      I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.

      Guiding Light Discussion Thread

      "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.)
