hey Todd, karma's a bitch! "How can you keep my own child from me? Haha, funny bc thats EXACTLY what he did to Blair when he stole her baby, gave him away and told her he was dead. And lets not forget he was going to do the same thing to Starr. In fact he was alot more cruel to Blair than Tea was to him as she honestly didnt even know that Daniella was his until recently. Oh well, he is in no place to complain. Its not something he wouldnt do, and actually has done before

I don't even know why they have Tea going on about his various crimes. She knows what he is and she loves it. This gets her going. The show can't have it both ways. If they want to write Todd as a hero, then there's no need to try to bring up his past. It's all been washed over anyway.

Wow, what an ending today! I loved all the scenes at the church.

Bravo to IK and MA with their scenes earlier in the episode. Somehow, Natalie being resentful and spiteful to Roxy somehow made since, and I loved the pair breaking down towards the end of their scenes. Powerful acting by both actresses!

Totally agree. For a minute there I thought it was a Friday. That's how you do a cliff hanger kids. Loved all of today. Even Rex talking to Jess didn't bother me and usually even the mention of him makes me mad. I also loved all the mentioning of history today. Rex has become such a holier than thou schmuck lately I wondered if anyone would remember his introduction into Llanview. And along with IK and MA a round of applause for BK, FL and TSJ. There were times today that FL reminded me of Judith Light's Karen. I so can't wait for tomorrow.

Im sick of him. He is just way too dark and gothic. I hate how he laughs everything off as if its a big joke and messing around with corpses isnt funny. And for what? It all seemed completely unncesary as was digging up Nash's grave. Its sick and its not something I really care to watch

Sorry Cheap21 but I totally agree with Amello, Mitch is everything AWESOME. My only problem is that it feels like to me there setting up another Who Killed Mitch story. I'd rather the nut got sent to prison so that they can trot him out when story needs a good kick.

Agreed with those who thought Mitch coming out of the coffin was awesome! I only wish that the execution was better - I didn't how the funeral scenes were cutting back and forth with the Todd/Tea scenes because it ruined the momentum. It should've been: shot of the coffin rising cut to other characters cut to John on the phone cut to coffin cut to more reaction shots cut to coffin cut to Natalie starting to go towards the coffin cut to Mitch coming out of the coffin cut to Natalie's reaction shot.....fade to black. That would've been more suspenseful.

There's always a danger of too much but so far I think OLTL has done well with how much Mitch to show and how far to take him. Mitch is a psychological menace, he gets in your head. The last time he was around it was too much mustache-twirling and the big evil house on the hill and ubervillainy. Stuff like what he did today, rising out of Jared's coffin, is absolutely classic terror, and just a little bit funny, which makes it even more terrifying. He's a real shot in the arm to characters who are, with a few exceptions, not able to drive story on their own.

Nash's corpse and the coffin business are the genuinely good WTF moments I miss on soaps.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By janea4old · Posted

      Oh wow. After reading your post, I realized that they had "Carl Ivati" in the script AGAIN yesterday June 6.    Eva said she was reading his latest, and Tomas said "Work's been so busy, I haven't had time to get into his new series". Then Eva proceeds to tell him that "the first book is called 'Mercy and Goodness' and it's all about how the couple first met and how they got separated".   She goes on and on about how great it is. And she says she has the book in her hotel room if he wants to borrow it. She says it has twists and turns. And meanwhile Kat is snooping in Eva's room to look for the helmet and gloves, and finds the book and dismisses it as "basic". I saw that whole scene -- but I wasn't paying attention to the name of the author.  And when Tomas said the name, I heard it in his accent so I didn't hear "carlivati".  II was mainly trying to see if the acting had improved with the actor playing Tomas, and I think he has improved somewhat.   I only see it when typed out. So they had several scenes yesterday about a "Carl Ivati" book?  Barf! Well at least Kat had the good sense to dismiss it as "basic". Ron Carlivati wrote the breakdown yesterday!   Featuring himself in it! Addressing to the collective "you" whoever you may be: Some of you, months ago, said Oh Ron is only doing breakdowns.  The story comes from MVJ, so he won't influence things, you said. May 27 started it, with Christopher Dunn breakdown and Lynn Martin script. But they didn't need to continue it June 6 with Carlivati breakdown and Jazmen Darnell Brown script.

      I was completely lost. But it is wonderful that it exists. I didn't really know Robert Mandan had done soaps...well, besides SOAP.

      Jack and Jennifer are tired. I just don't care about them when they return. They add nothing to the show.

      Did they really bring back Jack and Jennifer for Jack to prop up Leo and Jenn to serve as an obstacle to Chad/Cat? Are we sure Ron still isn't in the building?

      We can only hope that they finally kill off Leo too

      We can only hope that maybe the new writers might read this.

      You can get so many storylines from a Will/Sonny/Paul/Andrew/Dimitri mess And I'm sure Colton would do a great job

      Not to go too off topic but if you ever want to see more of his Search run just look for SFT Summer of 1966 on Youtube.
