OLTL: Discussion for the week February 15


Recommended Posts

AIden Turner (on AMC) springs to mind but he was finally fired (I guess he came on a few years before ME came to One Life) and at least he was pretty to look at and somewhat charming. ME really has brought the show down IMHO, and now that we have Fish as a cop figure, there's no need for him. (Why didn't he even bother to put out the fire Marty mentioned? I'm guessing this is how Stacey bites it, but haven't seen spoilers, so...) Seriously, at this point I'd rather see him go than Rex or Gigi even--he's just had too many chances to do anything interesting and failed. (Yet, I know that apparently him and Natalie still get tons of votes for fave couple in SOD--those polls always shock me).

I really enjoyed today's episode too--the Marty/Natalie/John scenes aside (yep, I didn't even mind Todd now that he didn't just have the same conversation with Tea). Sure Kelly pushing Adriana was kinda dumb but it kinda jibed with the old spontaneous Kelly I knew and missed (loved her finishing everyone else's champagne glass when they left).

I have to admit, I hate when they rush a gay romance into a baby story--for me it kinda kills it (FIsh JUST came out and finally found love and happiness--does he need a baby right now already? That said, he has one and I can't see his character letting go of her at all--that wouldn't make any sense so I guess this is what we're getting).

My prob with a custody fight is Ron didn't do the best job IMHO with his gay marriage storyline--a part of me enjoyed that it was largely fairy tale in terms of realities (shouldn't all those gays be freakin mad that Dorian still hasn't officiated their marriages as promised?)--but it doesn't give me much faith for the potential in this storyline.

And I'm pretty sick of custody stories (and, unless we got some ridiculously homophobic judge, I can't see any reality in anyone frankly turning Fish down and giving the baby to anyone else. I guess Kim could feel guilty, want her, and use Clint's influence to get a cut throat lawyer, etc?)

I would take John over Rex because as much of a dud he can be sometimes, when the material is there, another actor can still do a good job. Melissa Archer and Susan Haskell have recently done strong work in scenes with him, even though he is just there.

With Rex, JPL and his awful facial expressions actively ruin anyone near him. He has to be the center of attention, he has to make sure everything reeks.

If they want to do a story where Fish loses custody, I can see them doing it (they were happy to have a judge Langston send back to a family where one or more people were suspects or convicted of killing a woman), I just think it would be a story mistake.

Just watched Monday's episode and loved it... so much of it was so well done. I've started liking Stacey better lately and am wondering how interesting it would be to watch Stacey, Kim, Fish and Kyle raising that baby together

I agree with so many of you -- Michael Easton is terrible. Beyond terrible. Susan Haskell deserves a better storyline and so does Melissa Archer.

That snow might as well be sand. Adrenaline is one thing, but JPL is fluffin' around in it with rolled up sleeves giving no sense of just how freezing it must be. A little sensory work would have made that scene even more intense. It was like sitting poolside watching someone drown in the hot tub.

The scene with Stacy toodling across the ice ignoring everyone's warnings - "what's wrong? what's the problem?" - and then crashing through straight down was so hilarious, like a Looney Tunes cartoon. And classic Stacy. I could watch it again and again, and in fact have. And now I will again.

    • Thanks -- you're doing God's work The Gio reveal was everything I hoped for and more. GH got it right. Head to toe, GM is a stunning physical specimen.
    • I really wonder how they'll handle Netflix's usual long breaks between seasons. That girl is going to grow up fast... makes me wonder if this wouldn't have been a better fit for HBO Max considering they're leaning into a more broadcast style of production model with The Pitt.
    • I agree -- I didn't suspect Ted, either. I think a lot of people are giving themselves way too much credit in predicting Ted's problems

      And can I have a different take on Ted here? Yes, he's made a huge mistake with this Leslie debacle, and yes, he has to suffer and pay for it. But does that make Ted a terrible human being? I don't think it does. He made a horrific mistake over 2 decades ago, and as far as we know, he's been a good husband and father since. As far as we know, he hasn't strayed or violated his marriage since. He didn't know that he fathered another child, and thought he "removed" Leslie from his life. I won't blame Nicole if she doesn't forgive him, but I also won't blame her if she decides what they have and what they've had more than makes up for what he did. Ted is getting dragged far more than Bill is on these boards, and I think Bill is MUCH worse as a husband and father. How many times did he cheat on Dani during their marriage? How many times did he do vile things in his role as fixer? How much did he hurt his daughters by screwing their friend and marrying her? With Keith Robinson coming in as Ted, maybe we'll see a character change in direction and we'll discover that Ted has many flaws and always had a dark side. For now, though, I'm inclined to both be angry with Ted for hurting his family while also sympathizing with him. I know what you mean, but I do think that was intentional. So much was going on in that episode, and I think they decided not to let Nicole's reaction be lost in all that. Nicole will get those scenes that you're asking for.  
    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
    • I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.
