I don't mind them playing with the old Tea/Rachel dynamic, but I think it's much more interesting that they were once BFF and are now enemies because of Tea's life choices and what happened with Georgie Phillips. Instead OLTL takes the lazy route here: "Well, they both need more female friends, let's reconnect them." Why? Why would Rachel ever give Tea the time of day again when Tea humiliated her and is married to the man who raped her classmate - twice? Why can't Rachel reconnect with Marty, or Tea with...I don't know...Layla?

The Tarty teasing is pretty shameless these days and from what I hear, it's about to get worse. Anything to put them together in utterly inappropriate scenes of shared confidence. OLTL has yet to accept that they destroyed Todd and Marty's rapport last year. They act like it's 1995 again.

Which ones involve the men being abusive to the women, and sleeping around for the hell of it?

Those will get the most airtime.

Starr/Cole must be a hit with the young demo, I don't know.

I'm still trying to figure out why they keep wasting Sky. I know they dropped the story plans with Starr, which is fine by me, but it's bizarre to think that a man who comes on the show with such a heavy backstory (drug addict, his drug habit caused his mother's suicide) is now a bit player for the Wacky Strippers.

Greg and Rachel are pretty hot, but I wish they had played the triangle with Shaun more. Rachel never really liked Shawn all that much, so it hasn't had the dramatic impact it might have had. But I still like the Evan's family storyline more than most of the show.

What I cannot stomach is watching Starr and Langston act like sex kittens. Just NO. I don't care what hs students are up to in real life, I know I don't want to watch them acting like Playmates on my soap.

I'm interested in Jared and Natalie's story too. I felt really bad for Charlie today.

    • 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 
    • That makes sense. What a messy time for the show. And any changes they made were mostly for the worse.
