I loved that they used his remixed theme. think they should do like Weeds used to do. Everytime they have a musical guest, they should remix the theme

OMG, Jack is TOO smart. Dani introduced herself as his big sister and he goes "bu you're like old? I overheard my parents talking about my dad and Tea having a daughter and I thought she'd be my little sister, like 8 or 9." Dani goes "well Im not" and he says "This makes NO sense" THANK YOU! Im glad someone finally said it

My prob is this is what RC always does--something on the show makes no real sense so he has a character make an in-joke about it, like that lets him off the hook...

I liked Snoop today--shockingly. Ford is just a smarmy creep--the fact he's OBSESSED with someone still in high school (when it's not like he's even a first year university student) makes it even more so.

I don't why they bother to have TSJ in those scenes. He is such a buzz kill.

Todd just needs to die.

Viki, Blair, Starr, Marty & Tea are SO much better when they are free of him.

They started doing that with the two Blairs years ago. That's why it doesn't bother me at this point.

I am [!@#$%^&*] livid about Daphnee Duplaix on a level untold, but I'm choosing to enjoy the story while it's there, and I enjoyed what they gave all those characters today. It's a hell of a lot than actors of color are getting on any other soap, which is a sad and shameful position, but there it is. It's also more than one character, which is nice.

That was funny with Jack today.

Dani should only be 8. Right? She really should have been born in 2002, right?

That's true, Tomlin's OLTL was one big wink to its audience...

I loved Tomlin's OLTL...especially the live week and special 4th of July episodes.

I remember when OLTL had a live week. I was younger and thought it was so weird when they randomly had like Erika Slezak at the end of the epsiode holding cue cards with the credits in BIG RED LETTERS .

They should do that again.

Kassie was ROBBED for Live Week.

I was mixed on his era in general (though it bat JFP's) but I did find his special episodes a lot of fun.

The best one was the Trading Places episode. Who knew Linda Dano could do comedy so well? :lol:

Dani being older than Jack isn't an "RC-exclusive" thing. All soaps have done it. On Days, Brady is somehow older than Shawn. EJ was born in 97 but is older than Philip and Belle. Rapidly aging soap kids out of order is an occurrence on all soaps. The only solution is to accept it, because if viewers can't wrap their heads around SORASing, I hate to break it to them, but they won't last long in soap world.

And I totally agree about Ford. He's SO creepy, to the point where I think he'll be charged with stat rape. He's creepy. Hot, but insanely creepy. Potentially a pedophile.

I don't why they bother to have TSJ in those scenes. He is such a buzz kill.

Trevor St. John is great, he just plays a vile, pathetic character. And yep, he's better than Roger Howarth.

Agreed that TSJ, even when he seems bored, is better than Roger.

I know screwy SORASing isn't unique to RC and OLTL by any means--I meant the fact that RC made a joke about it. (to be fair usually it's done a bit more subtly than they did with Dani--it's not so clear in people's minds that the characters ages do not match up.)

I was bothered by the fact that out of the 7 black characters presented on the show not one of them either has their own story or ever will.

Most of the time that doesn't happen with siblings.

It would be one thing if this has some sort of purpose, but so far it amounts to some of the most boring dialogue and storytelling imaginable.

  • Member

Those characters have had their own story; the brother triangle just wasn't terribly compelling. Frankly I find the hospital business with Rachel keeping Sky's secret a much better vehicle for both Rachel and Greg. And while I wish the show wasn't doing the Jessica story, Tika Sumpter seems awfully excited about it.
