I didn't understand his guesses at all because he makes it sound like Brody would be marrying both Nat and Jess which... :blink: I know he's got it going on like that but not even Brody can simultaneously marry the twin bimbos he knocked up, in a double ceremony. That's too Jerry Springer even for OLTL.

He shoots...and he fails. Epically, epically fails. (I took off the spoiler tags because we're on the spoiler board LOL)

But you know what's sad, though? I didn't know who the participants in the wedding were going to be, but instead of thinking Nelson got it wrong with Brody marrying both sisters, my first thought was "Wow, OLTL just keeps getting dumber and dumber."

:lol: :lol:

I'm surprised Frank and Ronald haven't thought about adding some ex-sitcom stars to their cast (besides the sublime Ms. Hubert). Knowing them, though, they'd add an ex-sitcom star, have her play a hatchet job version of her most famous character, and name the new character with a "quirky" spin on the original character's name.

Beverly Archer IN as Lola Boyd!

I have an old SOD from around 1989 where one of the execs of Generations had that mentality, but it was "based on research" that there's only a certain amount of viewers out there who are interested in watching soaps, and therefore it's more realistic to try to lure viewers away from timeslot competitor, Y&R, than to try to be enticing to non-soap fans at all. That makes sense for the most part, even in 1989, but nowadays (and for over 10 years now) a longtime soap fan who's frustrated with their show will give up on the medium altogether.

It is certainly scary seeing other daytime alternatives, though. From endless courtroom shows where the judges are total jokes to crappy talk shows. I know I would hear the buzz when Springer goes off the air, but really, he's still on? And his old bodyguard dude has a show of his own? Oy.... I'll watch a rerun of Desperate Housewives on Lifetime, or I Love Lucy. Or local news. Network syndicated daytime shows are awful.

    • As well as insulting our host, being rude to members who correct you, and having an inflated sense of duty. While others may be able to add numerous offenses, the egocentrism to force any conversation off-topic to focus on you is the most egregious act for me.  This is light entertainment, an interactive discussion, not the shallotpeel-hour.
    • Yes, that is why. I mean, not last minute but it was not what Shapiro originally wanted. First, she tried to buy the show. Then she tried to buy the character. Meanwhile several other companies also tried to buy the show. 
    • I thought I had stopped & then I saw this post from you. To be clear I said I was wrong. I have not made an attempt at any backpedaling. There is literally no place to back pedal to. I did 3 things. I deleted. i apologized. I said I was wrong, egregiously so. 
    • I think bringing Dano back to OLTL as her original character Gretel/Rae was a last minute thing because P & G wouldn't let ABC use the Felicia character. So even though she had ties to OLTL from back in the day, she just didn't fit into the OLTL of the late 90s/early 00s.. nor did she really fit into the other soaps at ABC either. 
    • I don't think they were the biggest factor, but I do think there's a specific style to Dano's work that wasn't helped by how pointless her character often felt (and later on the various writers clearly saw the character as a joke).
    • I think Evie came in mid 1976 after Rita broke up with Tim because she realized she was leading him on.  And Evie became upset with Rita because she didn't tell her that she had previously dated Tim before she came to town.
    • Please stop, you were wrong, and you know it, now you're trying to back pedal. You even got called out by the DAYS actors/actresses on Twitter for that sh*t. It was disgusting and vile and IMO the family should have taken action against you It was clear the general public did not know about his illness and it was NOT your place to "spill the beans" just because you run a Facebook group, period! TBH IMO @Errol should have banned you ages ago Donna 
    • Who went bowling? JFP & Anna? Is there any more to this?  
    • Another character driven show with interconnecting plots that make sense. I like that we go from one character, like Sarah, learning that EJ wants to buy the hospital, casually mentioning it to Xander who now has that intel. The only down today was not seeing Steve and Shawn breaking into the lab. I wonder if Dr Poofy Hair will inform EJ about Xander's call. I loved Abe talking to Chanel about losing Isaac and giving her comfort. And helping her voice her fears about Johnny. Kayla standing up to EJ is great. Kayla, freed from Ron, has been great. I am loving all her air time. And Sarah telling her that EJ must be up to something if he wants the hospital is very smart. She would probably clue in to the sepsis research being the big thing if she wasn't choking to death. I assume Felicity messed up the scones and dropped in cleaning fluid or something. Sarah said it tasted weird. They are never getting that honeymoon, are they? Xander has no clue what job Johnny can do. Johnny knows this too. Xander wants to legitimize his takeover by hiring a Dimera. Johnny wants to stick it to EJ. The honesty is refreshing. I want to like Cat and Chad but they are just so awkward. And none of their scenes work for me. Marlena and EJ was very good. I like her wanting to help him but also scared to death for Belle. Makes perfect sense that she is conflicted. I also liked her softly asking Johnny if he needed her to stay once EJ walked in. Ron never cared about this relationship either, but now she is acting like his granny.
    • Sorry, catching up, and the bolded part, yes! Should have been sued by DH's family for that nasty sh*t too   Anywho, back to the show, Kristina is freaking nuts, she needs to be committed ASAP
