My default guess is always Alison Perkins and it's usually right. And that would be fine. Mitch is the perfect cult leader and Alison the perfect follower.

From where I'm standing, Bree is the lucky one. ;) Either way, I like this pairing and have since they first met in the looney bin. It just works. I haven't really liked BW in any of her pairings but this works beautifully.

I can't attribute growth to Todd Manning, he's just not capable of it. He didn't get violent because TSJ doesn't throw himself into this character like RH did and because it didn't involve Blair or Marty. Those are his hot buttons. Not Tea. Tea has never been much more than a convenient, desperately willing victim. Apparently Todd wasn't an aberration for her either. She goes from one violent nut to the next and back again.

Definitely. Of course, Roxy actually likes Kyle. Rex is the pud she's stuck with. Ugh. Can't he just go to visit Mitch in California and get hopelessly, permanently lost along the way? I couldn't help but laugh when Stacy & Kim were scamming Schuyler and Kim couldn't help but point out what a complete and utter loser Rex is. :lol:

It's a good thing that Viki and NuClint have such a good rapport or I'd be spitting nails that it looks like she and Charlie are about to implode.

Today's episode was so fantastic! Out of the soaps I saw today, OLTL definitely had the best Thanksgiving episode.

Loved Viki reading the poem. Both montages were fantastic. Loved Jessica telling Clint that show loves him and that he's her real dad; Destiny tying Matthew's BASKETBALL shows ;); Rex bringing Roxy back; Starr/Cole/Hope; Natalie/Rex; Bree happy to see Brody; Mama Evans wiping away Shaun's tear.

I like the tension too. Loved the scene with Greg and his dad. I'm really enjoying the Evans family.

He sure does. He proved it in his first 5 months.

Me too. I was actually saying to the TV: "No, Charlie, don't drink it! Don't do it." :lol: Charlie is such a rootable guy.

Now if only we never hear about the dreadful fake Xmas movie Christina Comes Home or whatever EVER again.

I always find it funny how on soaps they rarely clear those big bottles of booze they always have (the decanter sets that most people's homes stopped having sometime in the 50s except on soaps :P ) when they have an alcoholic living there. I mean I've lived with an alcoholic roomate and while I didn't stop buying any booze or keeping it in the house at all, I think it's ridiculosu to have it open in decantewrs in all the major rooms in the house--no matter how strong you are at resisting. Though I did laugh that Charlie put the wine back int eh wine decanter--though it was from someone's glass lol remind me to never have a drink when offered if I visit Lord Manor--it'd be half backwash :S

EWW my god, I know! And Gigi and Rex were there for a brief while, weren't they? GROSS. What if that was Gigi's slimy lil glass that he poured back in there? I am LEGENDARY among my friends for being deathly afraid of things like backwash and drinking from used cups or eating off of used plates with used utensils. If I was there at that moment and had my mind set on getting some of that wine and then saw Charlie pour that glass back in there...hot dead son or no hot dead son, I would have had to cut him with a big knife. I kicked my brother's ass when we were kids because he drank from the SunnyD jug instead of getting a glass.

Agreed OLTL was great this week. Moves to fast at times though but I watch every scene. I am so glad I've added this soap to my viewings.

What is the deal with Rex? Was he supposed to be gay or something? I swear he should be part of the Kish storyline.

Is Roxxy a drunk in real life?

Good job OLTL!!!!!

    • I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.
    • Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol 
    • Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab this episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). I thought we had the full HD version of ep.3170 on the YouTube channel, but it appears they added the wrong episode but labelled it 3170. 
    • I guess, according to Mike Manning in the Michael Fairman chat, he was almost Derek

    • I imagine Brad will blow through all the money in a year and come crawling back, just as Portia warned him not to.

    • That's a name I haven't heard in a minute. Thanks! 
    • Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss.
