OLTL: Discussion for the week October 5

[Cheap21]

she's been hit by numerous people since she came back; Marty, Blair, Nora. Everytime she just stood there. This is the first time she actually hit back and Im so glad she did

[DRW50]

She punched Marty so I don't think Tea is the long-suffering martyr to Marty. She didn't slap Nora because Nora slapping her in a court of law made Nora face charges, I thought.

I can't be thrilled about her hitting Blair when she grovels at the feet of a man who has abused her physically, mentally, and emotionally for years, and even left her for dead. Until she does she's just yet another self-hating victim who asks the man in her life to break her down to nothing.

She punched Marty? I dont remember that. I recall Marty hitting her in the courtroom and Tea didnt do anything back

[DRW50]

The night Wes was killed, the Go Red ball. Marty showed up in a pink leather jacket and acted like an idiot, and Tea decked her. It was a great scene.

This is an interesting spat between Rachel and Todd, 1993 edition.

I wish they interacted more now, I'd like to see them push each other's buttons (not in a romantic way).

I am so sick of this show beating a dead horse with this whole "you don't have a child, so you don't know what it's like to be a mother/love a child thing" thing. Blair and Nora have both said it to Tea so many times, that it's beyond contrived. Hello annoying writers WE. GET. IT. It must be a guy writing this crap because any woman would know that the maternal instinct is alive and well before we actually give birth. I had a very good idea of how to love a child before I had one (or should I say two) and I'm sure most other women do too.

I'm interested in this whole Jared/ stalker thing. That's the most interesting part of the show for me right now. I just can't believe Jared is actually guilty, but he had to be involved in some way.

Everytime Blair and Téa face off, I get a MEGA "hate sex" vibe from the both of them. They totally get off on hurting each other. Even smacking the everlasting sh!t out of each other looks like foreplay.

Dorian and Robin Strasser are golden. Just watching her spout out a few condescending phrases in Spanish just to get the Hispanic vote...

[All My Shadows]

Markko's parents are ATROCIOUS actors. GOOD GOD! Starr and Cole have more talent, which says A LOT.

Blair and Tea, collectively, are much worse than Stacy.

[Scotty]

That's funny because the actress who portrays Markko's mother is Ada Maris, a rather talented actress.

Dorian was hilarious announcing that she was a lesbian. It was a ridiculous twist in this story. Seriously, who would believe her?

Blair/Todd/Tea make me throw up in my mouth a lot.

[DeeeDee]

Why do they want his ass?

Why, Why, Why?!?!

[IcyOne]

Because "DeeeDee" he's the best catch in town. Definitely better than Cristian (or whoever else it is you like.)

[Vee]

There's nothing sexier than a repeat rapist.

[Cheap21]

Haha, payback's a b-tch. Ever since Tea came back,Blair has been bragging about how she threw Tea out a window before and has threatened to do it again. How fitting that she ended up falling this time

[DRW50]

I don't mind using history (they've effectively mined Rachel's past in her return), but not when it's just dredging up history for the sake of it, like their anniversary stories last year. That's what this seemed like to me.
