OLTL: Discussion for the week August 3


Recommended Posts

Todd has truly been forgiven, I guess. Everyone, even Jessica, seemed amused and pleased when he wanted people to clear out of the way for Tea to catch the bouquet.

I hope they won't kill Jared. He's a solid presence and he isn't a douchebag, and soaps have few men now who fit both bills.

Another good episode today, IMO. My only beef was Dorian getting drunk again. How sad that Ms. Strasser not only had to play drunk, but also had to pass out on a church pew after interrupting the ceremony. Shame on you RC. Robin, Dorian and the fans deserve better.

-The only reason IMO Jared seems expendable these days is bc they stopped focusing on Jared trying to gain Clint's acceptance and what is the guy to do now when he's not working at BE pulling off corporate plots? I think Jared's potential would have went through the roof if OLTL focused on him working at BE, and maybe even being a force to be reckoned with in the board room.

-I find it interesting that when on Y&R, if someone interrupts a event in a drunken manner at the rate Dorian has been doing lately, it would be a hint of a social issue story on the horizon, with Dorian's character getting some help and attending AA. However with OLTL it seems, it's only played for comedic purposes and to give the illusion of some boring plot progressing on. It's kind of getting tiring.

If she were on Y&R she'd probably get drunk, roll around on the beach, and yell out "VICTOR!!!!"

I still wonder why they stopped the BE stuff so abruptly. Was that Frons again?

Instead we get the horrible Gigi/Rex/Stacy. Isn't it touching that Gigi lying to Rex for a decade about having his child has now been turned into an act of love.

They are basically the only reason I continue to watch. I currently find just about everything non-Todd related to be either atrociously bad, or just boring. Llanview is Todd's universe AFAIC, everyone else just lives there.

I don't think Jared is going anywhere. Why would he? I think the anvils are indicative of the show preparing to use him in this stalker story maybe as the red herring.

The wedding was a little boring as most soap weddings go but still beautiful nonetheless. Dorian and Blair interrupting was entertaining but I hope they get some mileage out of it by building on the circumstances of their characters.

This week has been the best OLTL seen in months. And tomorrow is going to be big, too.

Now, I just read something that is making me speculate. And I repeat, SPECULATE. Here we go:

I know most people would be pissed if this happens but I think it's brilliant.

I agree as well....and I'm sure which was the funniest...his ringtone as his cell phone was going off during the ceremony, the funny faces he made as Charlie was saying his vows to Viki, or his trying to catch Viki's bouquet. :lol:

    • 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.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?
