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.

What did Mitch do last time he was on? It was under Tomlin/Whitesell/Broderick, right? And then he left under Malone?

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

Yeah, it's great campy stuff!

Mitch was brought in under the first three and heavily written for with Malone/Griffith. Others will have better memories of all he did, but it was a lot of attempted rape of Natalie, then trying to cut her heart out. Then he lived in a huge mansion called Lionheart and had minions who went out and killed people. There was also a very unnecessary arc where he was blinded and a lot of hysterical melodrama went on.

And Victor, let's not forget him bringing back Victor... and his brief powerplay/deal with the devil marriage to Dorian is worth mentioning I suppose. Oh my God, talk about operating out of character.

Are you referring to the "REALLY?!?!?! That's TOOOO BAAADD!!!!!"

YES I am. ARGH. How did Valentini let that line get past??

It was odd that Malone's mantra this time around seemed to be to go gothic. I fond some of it intriguing but... I mean did they even solve the supernaturalmystery of the Bhadra diamond (didn't Mitch want it?) What I can't remember is how Jessica or whoever "killed" Mitch last time--can someone remind me?

OK we got one bRIEF mention of Mitch's brother but did he even get an exit?

Dorian's Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahdra Diamond :wub: :wub:

Didn't Dorian hire a hooker or someone to sleep with Mitch, on their wedding night or something? I remember scenes with a blind Mitch in bed, and this chick, and Dorian in the room. Dorian lent her voice, while the hooker tried to fool Mitch into thinking she was Dorian.

I remember a scene where Mitch was working on his car in a nice little garage and Jessica came in to have a chat with her pop. I was thinking WTF?! Malone wasn't sure where he was going with the story and it showed. And then when he was 'killed' he had a Mardi Gras mask on his face. Shades of Malone's lost pilot...

The Bhadra was from his pilot wasn't it? Then again so wa that fertility statue he wrote in AW LOL apparantly.

Didn't Jessica blind Mitch when he wa working on his car? LOL maybe not--I have that all muddled. But yes the hooker thing happened.

Loved Natalie's line about "Christian returned, John returned, can't Jared come back from the dead too!" LOL Maybe God saw that after bringing them back from the dead Natalie dumped them anyway so he can't be bothered to do it again

This Mitch stuff is stoopiiit.

Hahahaha! I love it.

Dorian loves the ol' sexual switcheroo, she did that with Blair and David too.

Mitch raising up out of the casket totally reminded me of that George Hamilton movie Love at First Bite .

Wow, some of this dialogue is clunky, eh?

Langston: It'll be like The Life and Times of Harvey Milk!

Cole: Yeah! And hopefully with a better ending...

(sad faces)

WTF.

Melissa Archer better get an Emmy nod.

Don't turn into Luke Fish!

Don't do it!

I know! I enjoyed the triangle today. This is where ATWT failed and continues to fail: I didn't like how Luke and Noah got together at all, but if the stories that followed were interesting and age-appropriate for them, I could have grown to love them. But no. OLTL's road to Kyle/Oliver was a bumpy one, but it's smoothed out a great deal now, and I'm enjoying the ride. So to speak.

So Dorian can just wave a wand and bypass state laws just like that, within minutes of being sworn in. No, not contrived at all.
