OLTL: Discussion for the week June 15


Recommended Posts

I can't believe we are again left with women humiliating themselves in front of Todd while he smirks at them. This man has spent a year degrading women and neglecting or outright abandoning his children and yet we're supposed to be happy he got custody of his kids and be happy to see Tea and Blair in love with him. Even if Tea and Todd had chemistry, the way she so constantly self-destructs in his presence is awful to sit through. I don't understand why this particular "triangle" is necessary, as it makes everyone involved look horrible.

Poor Dorian. Or should I say poor Robin Strasser. At least she finally got Moe and Noelle out. If they're going to have her go crazy I hope this will be about her family (Langston, Blair, Addie), not Viki, or men.

I'm glad Marcie gets a dignified exit.

As I had said in an earlier post, I totally agree with you Leia, Stacy is sucking this show dry. As well as making Rex look like a stupid fool, who I don't believe can be redeemed. Unless the shows plan is to get rid of both characters, there is no saving this storyline IMO. I also couldn't agree more about Dorian. The character has taken a number of hits as of late (taking over B.E./Nash's death, losing B.E., almost losing Langston, losing David and Ray, losing Adrianna....) As Carl said earlier, I can only hope this storyline is about Dorian and not about Viki/Charlie, Clint/Nora getting married.

I'm not sure if I'd rather see Stacy or Todd. I'm 50/50 at this point. If it meant Blair could get her own storyline, I wouldn't mind seeing a Todd/Stacy relationship. Actually I'd like to see them only have scenes with each other.

How old is Brandon Buddy again? I've warmed to him as Cole, but physically, he's starting to remind me of Richard Benjamin.

Another great episode today. Loved the ending with Starr's voice over and after yesterdays episode it looks like Langston and Markko are finally getting their own storyline. I'm glad the writers decided to have Markko's parents be the problem in their relationship as opposed to Dorian because that storyline is so old. Loved the scenes with Marcie and Mike. I thought both of them really delivered.

I'm not sure what is more depressing for me. The complete lack of discussion in this thread. Or the obvious fact that so many people have given up to the extent that they're just not even willing to complain anymore. This show sucks.

    • "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.)
