He lost me at the part about TSJ being the best leading man in all of daytime.

And my God, does he sit around obsessing about OLTL all day long? With nothing else to do? I mean, really, where did this "OMG Robin Thicke and Gloria Loring should appear on OLTL!" sh!t come from? I know he feels in adequate if he doesn't pimp OLTL just enough...

He lost you? I'm wondering what the heck he's drinking.

He does obsess on OLTL and I wish he would quit because he's the one that starts those cancellation rumors that everyone seem to soak up like a sponge. Not saying it can't happen, but I'd rather hear facts from the from the front of the horse than wild guesses and rhetoric from it's rear end.

I would love for Roger Howarth to return to OLTL, but they'd have to come up with something really good for it to pay off.

What they should do if Roger ever did come back is make it so that "Todd" Trevor's version is really Walker, who was brainwashed into believing he was Todd by Mitch. I'm sure RC can come up with some reason for it.

I can't see people accepting Roger as anything but Todd if he returned

Thank our lucky stars that Nelson "if I was head-writing" Branco doesn't write for any soap...

Howarth as Ross Rayburn (disguised as Todd's original face)? As an opportunity for Marty to hook-up with Howarth's character? He thinks that's genius? Some sick taste there, to say the least... Then to say that OLTL "can't" make Howarth be the real Todd - because TSJ's Todd "recalled" the rape? Oh, of course not - because soaps never ask anyone to suspend disbelief. B)

Branco also makes comments that seem incoherent: How could Ron Carlivati's former legal career be inspired by Tea Delgado? He pursued that career LONG before the Tea character was ever introduced...

I'm not a fan of hers, but I can't believe he has the nerve to throw a stone at Jean Passanante with the ideas he just spouted out.

To those who made statemtents about Branco like "drunk" and "on crack," I think I agree with you... literally. His articles make him come off, more and more each week, like someone who isn't thinking / writing with a full deck.

    • 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
