They've been phasing Blair out of everything for years now. I think if Todd and Tea had been more popular, she may already be gone. Now we are going to have this tested again thanks to ice queen Kelly's return. I won't be surprised if KDP's gone by the end of the year.

I don't think Roger Howarth will return, at least not as long as TSJ wants to stay on the show.

Really, I'm truly running out of reasons to even tune into OLTL anymore. All of the couples that I thought RC wrote so well have been tampered with. Every last one. Nat/Jared--Jared dies. Kyle/Fish--axed. Langston/Markko--run down by a Ford. Michael/Marcy--long gone. Jess/Brody/Cris/Layla--trianglerized, and no matter the outcome, Layla WILL lose. Charlie/Viki--backburnt to a crisp.

The Dorrie's Angels reunion of crotchety Cramer ladies does NOTHING to get me interested in the show anymore.

With Kyle gone, Roxy's only role becomes punching bag for Rex and Gigi, which is a massive disrespect to the delightful Ms. Ilene Schatz.

I've gotten the message loud and clear. The stars of One Life to Live are Mitch, Todd, Rex, and John. It's their Life and everyone else is just a part of it.

But not this [!@#$%^&*]. Not no mo'.

ETA: Shout out to Mr. Evans, just in case you read us too -- don't let this get you down, bae!

Mia Korf was also a very cold actress. I would also say that Mia's Blair became somewhat hammy. That is Blair. Or what Blair should be, KDP or Mia. Blair has lost most of that, along with any purpose she ever had, over the past 4-5 years. Now it's basically just taking what we can get. KDP is a charismatic actress who manages to use her looks and presence to enliven a long, painful series of propping and degrading, which is far more than I can say for what Gina, Florencia, et al have managed to do with stronger material over the years.

Mia Blair would have been gone by 1996 or so. Now "diversity" on OLTL is the long lost Kardashian sister who can't cry.

Do you? I don't. I think OLTL is off Nelson's speeddial.

The show would have to be amazing for it to earn any praise now. And I think it will be as inconsistent as it always is. Terribly good or terribly bad, or a combination of the two. I don't find the upcoming stories that captivating, but perhaps there will be some huge changes.

    • Also, isn’t there supposed to be a storyline with Mariah and Tessa? Mariah cheating or something (keeping some kind of secret) and they were only on screen 2 and 3 times this month. Like what? How am I supposed to care when I barely see them? 
    • Definitely wouldn't trust Dinah right now haha.  But that's great to know Billy comes back soon!  I'm excited for that. If he's at the boardinghouse, then I guess he does get closer to Nola perhaps, and then he'll be around Peter/Bridget and J, who is currently in his orbit along with Michelle and Dahlia, and Marcus is at the boardinghouse, so maybe they go the teenage story route most of this time until Billy gets back.
    • Sounds like me, but I prefer to be referred to as Contessa. We all know I can go a long time not paying attention to certain things.  And, if I might add, hey there dude, you effed up pretty good this time and I think this was your last chance. So don't let the door hit you in your behind as you go BYE MOMMY!
    • That did cross my mind at first, but I'd be more inclined to believe it if this didn't involve Trump. I'm not at all sure he is capable of being that sneaky. Of course, there's always a possibility I guess that his advisors are doing it without telling him, but that seems awfully risky. Trump is such a loose cannon you can never predict what he's going to do or say.
    • Whoa. She should have fought like hell to get that. Was it the greatest show ever? No, but it had a fantastic cast and was practically guaranteed to last multiple seasons because of its star power. Could have certainly led to bigger and better things. If it had flopped she could have always gone back to soaps. Judith Light broke through on a sitcom where she was basically second banana to Tony Danza. That grew into a very busy and distinguished career. The woman is still regularly booked to this day.
    • I could understand her being frustrated by the fact that she'd been in the business 10+ years at that point, and probably couldn't even get in the door. But then again, she'd already gone out for pilot season once (that we know of) and she and  her agent knew a 35-ish woman had a very difficult time in Hollywood. I know she did a few guest spots, but other than Designing Women, nothing I saw--not even a Murder She Wrote, and that show had tons of ex-soapers on it. I mean, God bless Marilu Henner, but even having been on Taxi, she couldn't get arrested for years either.
    • I didn't rewatch that period, so I'm not really sure how much Bill is on. I recall something about him living at the boardinghouse. I think Van made Matt his guardian, and why she didn't name Josh would be a mystery to me, other than the HW decided they needed to keep Bill in Matt's sphere. Nola is also his aunt, although they don't know each other well, and Van wouldn't have trusted her anyway. There's Dinah---but she's unreliable. Billy gets out of jail around NYE.

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
