OLTL: Discussion for the week April 5

[Cheap21]

the tragic fate is living in jail rotting not knowing why he all of a sudden went psycho and got thrown under the bus for Rex and Gigi

[Khan]

Say what? Sky gets sent to jail, while half of Llanview walks around scot-free? I can understand killing him off, but punishing him with jail time just seems hypocritical.

[SFK]

So what's with Mitch, where was he when we last left off?

[wingwalker]

I have to give major kudos to SC and IK for trying to sell the crap they've been given. A little insulting on how far the show threw Sky under the bus just to prop Rex & Gigi. My eyes rolled so far back at his line about never having a chance with Gigi.

The little bit of Kyle and Fish we got was sweet. I'm sure going to miss them. Hard to beleive that after Monday they'll be gone. Such a shame and so sad.

[Soapsuds]

This is why I don't watch anymore the crapfest that is OLTL.

[SFK]

Yeah, there will definitely be a period of adjustment with quite a few familiar faces no longer around.

The Dani/Destiny stuff was pretty chuckle-worthy today, "Destiny: Starr needs to be played by a REAL actor!" That worked on so many levels. Destiny and Matthew may have to lock lips or something for the musical as Langston and Markko, so it works out for Des and I'm sure Dani will just love that. When Matt showed up at school bopping down the hallway with his backpack on I was like, "WTF!? Bo 'made' him go to school?? EFF THAT. I'm taking the day off and sitting with my dad, in the waiting room if I have to."

Geesh, and what can be said about Langston... Poor Markko, your last words before your girl dumps you are about cuddling up for a classic movie musical marathon. "Hey, and then we can make ourselves up as Chita and Liza and do a number from The Rink! *squeals* I get to be CHIIII-taaaa! Natch! "

[wingwalker]

Well after Monday, neither will I. Down to just Y&R and B&B, which if those don't improve soon, might have to take a break from too. *sigh* Why can't my soaps be decently written anymore?

[MichaelGL]

Sigh...to think of what might of been...Schyle...or Kyler.....

I will never forget the chemistry Clifton and Claywell had with each other.

[Shiner]

Bo had the line of the day about Nora today when Matthew was with him.

"Just going after every living thing within a five mile radius."

I'm so hating Langston right now.

Todd is nothing more then a big baby not getting his way.

Love Kelly putting Todd in his place.

Rex is a jerk.

Blair was getting her kicks out of watching Kelly put Todd in his place.

Kyle, Fish and the baby, they all where so cute.

Felt for Sky.

Hated the stuff involving Langston.

Didn't care much for the Dani and Destiny stuff.

Gigi needs to let Fish have his baby.

Like the mother and son bond Kyle and Roxy have.

Liked the Bo and Clint stuff.

Loved Nora being the one by Bo's side when her opened his eyes. Love the smile he was trying to give Nora. But the best was when Bo asked Nora to marry him at the end.

This week at the end of each show we had small cliff hangers.

[wingwalker]

Oh I know! Before it was announced Kyle and Fish was going to be the gay couple, I so wanted Kyle & Sky instead.

Mr. Claywell for a straight guy, many of the roles I've seen him in, often has more chemistry with men than he does with women, IMO.

[DRW50]

Even worse is that he never bothered for a proper defense because Gigi strolls into the courtroom and he has to do anything she says.

Just as we are supposed to only want Fish to raise his child IF Gigi doesn't want to do so.

I don't know how so much of the show became about this worthless character and her flying monkey boyfriend.

[wingwalker]

Ugh, don't even get me started at that offensive plot point. Aparantly it's not enough to scapegoat the ratings on the gays, attempt throw actors under a bus, and not write a proper exit for the fans like most couples get. Now the gays need the blessing from straight mother of the year Gigi, to raise the baby, of which Fish is biologicially the dad.

[catsmeouch]

He's still in police custody. Maybe he and Schuyler will share a cell and they will bond as father and son.

[SFK]

Ha, well that would certainly jive with OLTL's m.o. Thanks for answering my question.

[catsmeouch]

I bet Mitch will re-appear again as Kelly investigates her mother's death.

But if Mitch didn't have Melinda killed, I don't know who would have done it. Who else has a vendetta against Kelly and the Cramers? The only interesting thing would be if Melinda's death was faked and she's actually alive and sane somewhere.
