OLTL isn't boring. It is just focusing the stories on the wrong characters. There is way too much Ford brothers, Cole, Starr...etc....The show is a hot mess!! And they got rid of Oliver and Kyle for this??? OLTL deserves their new low ratings! It proves the gay guys had nothing to do with OLTL ratings problems. Oh wait maybe Gigi and Rex can bring in those ratings. :rolleyes:

LOL, Marceline! I know you and I had our thing on another board. I'm not mad at cha babe. I can actually understand.

I'm just a little saddened. The show is not bad to me, but I know it's time for RC to go. I have to concede that's what ABC has to to if they want to keep this show.

As long as Brian Frons is in charge it won't matter. I say he and Frank have to go. I wonder if Frank isn't more responsible because he is so busy trying to keep this show under budget that he won't use the VETS! If they don't work the show saves money. We get cheap actors. Which is what we are getting now and this show just flat out sucks! I spend more time with my hand on the FF button.

I do wonder what the people who "claim" not to watch this show have to say.

Well Pissy is already on board just waiting to get her poison pen on the show. Goutman shouldnt be far behind. He is either going to be the new EP or go back to his pet AMC.

Who is jumping for joy?

And I know you aren't talking to me because I watch OLTL everyday. And I am bored. Eli is being made the scapegoat for the Ford and Marty attacks, Kelly's story sucks, The Starr/James/Bull stuff was hard to get through, yet alot of people are on the backburner with nothing to do.

OLTL deserves to hit new lows if they are going to keep throwing crap at me week after week. I am only hanging in there, because the show can easily get back to being good again, and there are characters/actors on the show that I still can enjoy amongst all the crap storylines.

You have Tika Sumpter, my girl as an avatar. Why would I think you would want OLTL to fail? Trust me there are folks jumping for joy, just as there are when Y&R and AMC hit lows.Moving on...............

Something is seriously wrong when they bring back 2 time Emmy Winner Gina Tognoni and she is tanking on OLTL. Not because of her talent, but because of a stupid story that is dull and going nowhere fast. Valentini has really overstayed his welcome.

    • Cady had a fairly posh accent or manner as Rosanna - the character was a 180 from Dixie when she went to ATWT, and it was a huge success initially. As someone mostly only familiar with the nagging, miserable or clueless Dixie of the mid-late '90s and early 2000s it was what convinced me Cady could act. I thought she was incredible in her first run. Later, in future stints, her hair and story and performances were all over the place but a lot of that was down to the show for me. She brought some of Rosanna back with her to Dixie in her ill-fated return and a lot of people didn't like it, which I understood but I did think the character needed some change. I think she's had a little bit of the same persona and arch performance in every role she's played since, including Jennifer Horton at DAYS or Kelly at Y&R, who later became a maniac and was easily the worst work I've ever seen Cady do. It has kind of infected her overall mannerisms, I'll allow that, but I do think she brought Dixie back together as herself while still evolving the character when she returned to AMC again in 2012-13. Nonetheless, for me the upshot is that this is a character where Cady's kookier recent performance style suits the role. But I can understand it grating for people.
    • Yeah, Loretta Swit's passing stings. My late dad LOVED the show (he died last November) and watched it religiously. In first run and repeats.  And I was literally born the day after the show's premiere, so I grew up with it! I know many loved later, softer Margaret, but I loved Early Hot Lips. In real life, I'm all for less misogyny, but to me, the early years of M*A*S*H were just funnier. May Loretta Swit rest in peace. Thanks for all the memories connected to my dad!

    • I agree that she isn't Dixie or Rosanna and shouldn't be acting like either. I just found it strange that she had a naive Southern character and a wealthy urbane character in the past and didn't experiment with accents before (unless I missed it, correct me if I'm wrong). She used to do improv characters on YouTube. She's probably doing something similar here.

    • And here I thought I'd never think about Lauren Tewes again after her brief appearance in Twin Peaks Season 3.
    • I may be the single person who does not mind Transatlantic Campy Pamela. I think it perfectly suits this sort of Absolutely Fabulous-esque supporting character she's playing much more than it did when Cady tried weird and often broad stuff at AMC* or Y&R, or later stints at ATWT. She's not Dixie and she's not trying to be. I will freely admit some of the other chances she took at other shows often came off stiff, hammy or downright mortifying (Kelly Andrews, come on down). (* - and I say that as one of the few who was somewhat into Cady trying to make Dixie more cosmopolitan in the Rosanna Cabot mold in mid-2000s AMC, just to liven the character up again)
    • There’s absolutely nothing exciting happening storyline wise but I’m always happy to see the vets on my screen so I’ll take what I can get. It’s also just nice to see them all dressed up in the same room, it always gives classic Y&R vibes. The best part? No Phyllis.

    • Well now we had Ashley's reaction-and weren't we all gasping when she appeared to hate it-but she was just joking!! She loved it. Now we have to see Abby's reaction, and maybe Mamie could come back to say she loves it. How about Jill via Zoom giving her opinion (she'll love it) and bring in a day player to play Mrs Martinez to say she loves it also... I feel bad to keep dumping on this show (not really) but when the choices they make are so inane, it's the only entertainment value the show has. Let's unpack the Nikki birthday story. So Claire wants to throw her Nana a birthday bash as away of endearing Kyle to Victor. Don't quite get the logic there,but OK. She hires a party planner who makes ridiculous suggestions. Slightly annoyed that Y&R are hiring someone for this role for 5 episodes when we never see doctors, co- workers etc. But OK to that to. With all the talk we are expecting something special. What we get is the Jazz Lounge hideously decorated with some ugly tablecloths and a few tacky decorations. They needed a planner for this? Then the guest list consists of family members (no grandchildren)and a few others. Hardly a party. As usual the costuming is pretty awful. A red and black theme ? And our guest of honor is sporting a do that looks like a cross between Cameron Diaz in Something about Mary and Marie from Roxette. They should have had an intimate dinner and ditched all the fanfare. Would have been way more believable.
