I enjoyed today's show, didn't see Stacy falling down the stairs coming at all.

Loved the Layla/Fish stuff.

Loved Cristian/Brody, Cristian finding the note.

Loved Viki/Charlie/Markko/Jessica all having dinner. Langston and Markko are too cute.

Loved Rex and Roxy's confrontation. I though Illene did quite well in her scenes.

I found Stacy/Gigi entertaining, but yeah the acting sucked.

The only thing I didn't like was Starr/Cole but that's always.

Rip off Y&R's story? I'm guessing that OLTL is miles ahead of Y&R in taping, I'd probably say they thought of it first, but OLTL seems to want to play this storyline out compared to Y&R ending it in one entire episode.

I can't remember the last time JPL gave a good performance. I still don't get why they decided to make him one of the leads. Everyone in this story is off, but Crystal Hunt has been shockingly bad on several occasions this week, especially when she laid on the fur coat. How do you manage to make that suck?

I REALLY liked the Fish/Layla scenes. Finally we're getting more definition and shading from Fish. Wonderful work from Scott Evans, and I also think Tika Sumpter has been very good in this story.

I am really loving this week's episodes so far. The dinner scenes at Llanfair were really sweet and I like that Brody and Christian met; the two of them needed a guy friend. I must say, I was REALLY impressed with Scott Evans and Tika Sumpter's performances today. Sumpter is a very talented actress.

Yea, he's not that great, but he's been ok lately. I actually thought Crystal did remarkably well yesterday. But of course, now that she's done having her breakdown, it's same old, same old.

Yeah, Tika and Scott were AMAZING. :) I really hope they give Scott a contract soon. He's on more than Brett, haha.

Oh man, now we're stuck with her for even longer! I was hoping she would leave. Damn Frons for loving the Morasco sisters! I'd rather see more of Jessica/Natalie.

I have to say I'm been enjoying this Fish/Kyle/Christian/Layla storyline too. It hasn't gone bad.....yet (hopefully it doesn't).

Does anyone else find it odd & a bit of a contradiction that Fish (who is so worried about acceptance, appearances and fitting in) is using LAYLA to be his beard? He would stand out and possibly face scorn with her too.

Yes indeed. Jess/Brody/Nat/Jared and Cristian/Layla/Fish/Kyle should be the bulk of the 20something storyline. I'm instantly drawn into their scenes, but Gigi/Rex/Stacy/Sky have just exhausted my brain. Or better yet, they've exhausted my eyes because I've been rolling them so damn much. Just extremely tired of them.

I don't understand why they need to demonize Markko's father for disapproving of teenage sex. He makes a lot more sense than Saint Viki, who was giving birth to Megan in a ditch alongside the road at Starr & Langston's age and should know better.

    • And, to me it is a little bit hilarious that AW fans all over continue to refer to it as Egyptian Dust Recently elsewhere I've been running polls. When did you stop watching AW or What storyline caused you to stop watching AW. You may be interested to know that sticking it out till the bitter end is winning by a landslide. Next highest vote getter is - no surprise - Frankie's murder. So that covers like 60% & next 20%. Then the votes drop way down to 10% and well below but a wide array of reasons are given, including but not limited to  Justine Lumina Rachel having twins at her age, how ridiculous Mac's death the 90 minute show firing JC, George R & Dwyer Hmm, I know there are a few more, in the 1%-3% range but I cannot think of what they are. Sorry, my bad. Should have made notes but I didn't know I would be posting about it. LOL!!  
    • A kind angel has added both episodes to the vault (UK Diva TV broadcast version). 
    • Yes, I think that is the most likely situation.  TPTB were unhappy with the offer(s) they got from the tourism board in Finland, and decided the trip was going to be too expensive for P&G/NBC to finance alone.   I would also speculate a similar situation likely occurred a few years later with the planned location shoot in Egypt, which was also cancelled after the storyline had already started, and changed to Arizona.

    • In my usual account on my most used video hosting site with the video title  DAYS 1-8-15 Will & Paul Sex This is an edit I began when I was first teaching myself to edit & at that time I couldn't make it do what I wanted it to do. I pulled it up & finished it this morning. 
    • Or Megan is shot as retaliation for Dave's unpaid gambling debts...while Julie confesses she's the biological mother of Special Guest Star Barry Bostwick's little boy.
    • Finland seemed such an odd choice for a location shoot. ATWT went to Greece and later Spain while GL had Tenerife and there were others in that timeframe. But Finland not being a known tourist destination or offering the tropical/sunny atmosphere usually associated with location shoots seems off brand. Maybe they were negotiating a deal with a tourist association and it fell through.
    • I was talking about 1986, but the glimpses of 1982 are about the same. 
    • I skimmed some of the 1982 synopses; Steve was planning on an opening an office in Finland, and I think Jim went there as part of the preparation. That probably was a big issue; AW had already gone to San Diego that year, with Rachel/Steve/Mitch. And to upstate NY with Pete and Diana. I wonder if upstate was as expensive lol  AW in 1982 has always fascinated me, because of how messy it was
