OLTL: Discussion for the week January 18

After seeing today, I'm more convinced than ever Ford swings both ways. I'm not sure why. I have a feeling he might be after Markko though...

I wouldn't put it past RC and FV. And I admit, this would at least add an element of surprise to an otherwise pretty predictable story...

Kyle is such a lady. :lol:

:lol: I thought you thought Fish was the lady -_-

I think all the histrionics from Kish and the strippers would be more fun for me if I wasn't wondering if everyone in the story has to be compromised so viewers will see Rex as the victim.

I find it amusing how they've started bringing up Kyle's duplicitous past but still no one really questions it--it's just kinda accepted that he's totally changed now.

I think I'm one of those people who feels some need to be contrary so if a show tells me someone is hot I automatically get my back up. If I didn't have to react that way I'd probably like him more, so I see your point.

Ha I do that too to some extent--I also admit I'm tired of the super waxed, SUPER uber built soap stud look--it just seems so plastic to me and often makes me wonder how much of that time the actors are spending at the gym could have been spent learning lines or studying with an acting coach instead... As someone else pointed out, too, Llanview is pretty much filled with hotguys that Langston has ignored--wouldn't it make more sense for her eye to be turned to someone who, I dunno either knew the same poets or authors she liked and was more sensitive/romantic than Marko, or had more of an edge than him, or *something* that Marko's lacking--besides a 6 pack?

And add to that--how old is Ford meant to be? Langston is 18? (I didn't remember that her and Starr shared a birthday--but Markko mentioned this party was for her too) And Marko is 19, which is a pretty typical male/female relationship at those ages even with one in school and one in college--but Ford should be at least four years older than Marko, rigth? How come the creep factor (she was 17 when they met) hasn't been brought up at all? Is Ford really any younger than Skyler? Maybe a year or two...

I'll bet they can afford it now. Her Hollywood career consists of backup singer on Ally McBeal and Steven Seagal. And Broadway, sad to say, don't mean [!@#$%^&*]. A lot of big Broadway people have played under-fives on daytime.

Marc Kudisch, a BIG BIG name to anyone into Broadway musicals, was the priest at Jared's funeral this year--I think he had 2 lines lol. (And of course Jason Tam was singled out as essentially the best performer in the recent Chorus Line revival as Paul, with thfamous monologue--which maybe bought him a bit role on OLTL that was only expanded after fans took to him) As yous ay there are millions of other examples (another one came to mind--Charlotte D'Amboise, perhaps the best female dancer working on Broadway right now and a much bigger name there than REG, who was Cassie in that Line revival, one of the main Roxies in Chicago and zillions of other roles since the 80s had a brief role last year on One Life as the school principal lol)

I think the impending Kish custody story (versus whoever - Sky? Rex? Gigi? Kim?) is one of the best things this show has going post-sweeps and I am really looking forward to that. It's a gold mine; they'd be fools to not do it and bring Tea into a story I can actually tolerate her in. I think Kish have become the standard for gay characters on daytime; Bianca simply was never allowed this level of intimacy or stories that did not de-sexualize her, or simply make her an asexual pity object, where other people would act out her aggression while Bianca sat around weeping. The baby could potentially de-sex Kish, but so far they're still quite intimate on-camera, including yesterday and today.

I liked the Blair/Langston stuff a lot as well. Very honest and they didn't let anyone call Langston a whore, 'cause she ain't. She's realistic. She is young, not even out of high school; her instincts would lead her to consider other options instead of staying with one guy forever. But girl, you'd be an idiot to give up Markko.

I noticed in the last two days the prominence of what I believe is a new photo of Evangeline and Layla on the shelf in Oliver and Layla's (and Cris and Ford's) place. If that is a hint I could be fine with it. I have made no secret of my distaste for St. Van of the Bad Blind Act, but if she came back all vixen-ish, a spoiler for Cristian and Layla (who are more natural together than she ever was with anyone), finally playing out the sublimated sibling rivalry between Princess Van and odd girl out Layla, that could be a lot of fun. It would also be another layer of different black female types on the show - Layla, Rachel, and Evangeline are all/could all be quite different in personality.

Mostly I want to see Layla and Rachel each get stories. I've said before I would love to see Layla go back to acting or to Bo and Snoop (and Megan's) soap Fraternity Row. Layla could bemoan being forced to slum in "a dying industry," while she could be cast as Megan's soap character's long-lost daughter. and Internet fans could catcall, demanding to know when Megan had the baby, age 8? The fact is it's downright ignorant for Layla, who was once a fashion magnate, to be reduced to working as a secretary at the cop shop. Then again it was stupid when Natalie did it too.

Sorry to quote the whole post--but word to everything you say. I didn't wnat a baby story for Kish so soon, cuz babies tend to desexualize gays on tv, plus they're IMHO boring and honestly as a youngish gay man not something I feel I can relate to till YEArS from now--and I'm sick of baby stories on soaps anyway... But, this one has potential I think and at least keeps them doing something.

I am in lust with Fish & Ford! They would be hot.

I just cant stand Kyle.

Langston is played by a great actress and deserves some story thats not playing backup to starr.

This dani chick is annoying. Girl playing Destiny is still awful.

David is a hoot. Love it when he is on.

Where have Chris/Layla been? I like them a lot.

TSJ is awesome when he gets to play scenes like his ones yesterday with Blair. Tho i hate Todd & tea and there forced love story and love child.

Blair and this dude shes hooking up with are just not working for me.

Love Clint/Kim and the scenes with Jess & Nat were super funny.

Finally someone is onto Stacy!

Also, Rachel/Schyler need to happen NOW.

Vee, i couldnt agree more with your post!

The Sluts vs. The Gays - Round One! LOVED IT! And we need more. The ending was super soapy. My favorite kind.

Round 1 to The Sluts.

The highlight of today for me was the epic fight at the the Buchanan Mansion. Kyle and Kim getting their bitch on was fantastic. The "ass-whoopin'" just about did me in. "Check and mate, bitches," all the actors brought it today and those scenes crackled with energy.

Those scenes were pretty fun to watch. Great confrontation! I think that was the first time I've ever enjoyed Stacy and I think it has a lot to do with Kim. When Kim first showed up, I never expected her to stay this long or become one of my favorites to watch. She's great with EVERYONE.

Oh dear.

First, my sympathies for the attacks you are about to endure.

Secondly, I wouldn't hold my breath for an REG return.

Do you really think she won't return, I mean every one else is coming back so why can't she. I would really love for her to come back to the show it will get me watching more frequently.

OLTL needs to stop trying to make Ford happen.

Loved the Sluts vs. Gays stand-off (although Kish, honey, shouting does not = acting). Amanda Setton needs a contract, NOW.

Florencia... OMG, I have become such a fan of this woman. I need to stop gushing.

He's happening here :wub:

She doesn't have one? :o First Scott Evans, and now her. What's wrong with this show?

If they put two adults on contract, they might not have the money to keep Kelley Missal.

Yes, she has one. Amanda Setton has been listed with the contract cast since she first started on the show.

Man oh man it was hard to watch those Viki/Charlie scenes today, and I hope that once Viki stops hurting she'll think back on his words, because he was so trying to tell her that he had a plan, and it wasn't jumping into a bottle. He would not have lied to her and say he was drinking if she would not have pushed him so hard. I feel so bad for Charlie and Viki.

I'm trying to like Jess and Brody, I really am because I do like Brody but damn they are BORING.

I'm confused on why Todd would think that Marty would help him with Daniella.
