September 21, 201015 yr Member I can't wait to see this show in 16:9 and soon after in HD. I hope ABC sticks to that. +1 The Ford Brothers are bonding. Ooophhh......Is that what we have to look forward to today? Edited September 21, 201015 yr by MontyB

September 21, 201015 yr Member Oh Destiny, set down. Kelly looks good in that red trench. I find Inez more annoying than any of her sons.
September 21, 201015 yr Member I find Inez more annoying than any of her sons. +1 I liked her at first but now shes annoying following her sons around.
September 21, 201015 yr Member I guess because I'm an RN, MSN, I don't take any of this stuff seriously. I've seen the real thing up close and personal for many years and none of the soap get it right as far as I'm concerned. I think the problem with Tea's cancer story is that it's been spoiled, spumored and speculated to death (no pun intended) that Tea wasn't really going to die that why I did the eye roll. This hardly had the emotional impact of Megan's death or even Sloan's death. You knew those were going to stick. I hear you, and the "fault" isn't with the viewer in any case. What I'm really beginning to resent is how the soaps are taking their *storytelling* over to the soap casting page and releasing false/dubious/half information to prop their own stories. That's grimey. Self-destruction.
September 21, 201015 yr Member Oh Lord, now James is trying to cry... let me get off this machine. WHO WROTE THIS?? "I learned to hide where dad's wrists couldn't reach me/My pirate costume got me laughed out of class..." That scene would have been 1000x better acted out by Parker Posey and Christopher Guest playing mother and son.
September 21, 201015 yr Member Starr & Langston are the most useless Cramers ever. Even more than Kelly.
September 21, 201015 yr Member Destiny Loretta Evans Love her! Edited September 21, 201015 yr by OLTL_fan
September 21, 201015 yr Member Blair & Destiny both need to set down. The Tea & Dani propping is ridiculous.
September 21, 201015 yr Member Enjoyed Yesterday, haven't watched faithfully since linda dano and fiona hutchins(on) on the show. Who are these ford guys and who is the new african americans? I see that Destiny and Greg are connected. Are the related to past african americans? The Halls? The Prices? The williamsons? The Gannons? What is going on with Tea, Todd, Eli, and AJ Quartermaine?

This hardly had the emotional impact of Megan's death or even Sloan's death. You knew those were going to stick. I didn't shed a single tear over self-righteous Sloan's death. I did cry for Jake as he was one of my faves losing the love of his life. With all the rumors of FL being fired, I wasn't sure Tea would survive and FL just admitted in SOD.Com's breaking news section she at times believed the characte was going to die too. There were some very moving scenes especially in July between Todd, Tea and Dani that moved me to tears. The emotional impact however was derailed by the plot driven hospice crap. That's where RC gutted the story, IMO. I think the whole show Monday was designed to reel in the disenfranchised ATWT viewers who may have tuned in. All the exposition that bored the daily viewers so much served to bring these potential new viewers up to speed on the key stories so they can hit the ground running. I'm loathe to compliment tptb at OLTL generally, but I really think this was a smart strategic move. Probably should have clued in the performers about the purpose so they were aware that this episode might be the first introduction new viewers may have had to their characters. I'm sure when they saw their scripts eye rolls abounded and their collective reaction would be something like "Really? We're having to explain everything that just happened in the last week?" Hmm, except yesterday was expaining to old viewers too WTF Greg/Eli were doing to Tea b/c we had been in the dark too. I think on paper the exposition was ok, but the acting was subpar and couldn't carry the emotional weight of it. Edited September 21, 201015 yr by TeamEric
September 21, 201015 yr Member yeah dont get me wrong, Im glad Tea is alive but I hate that her sickness was one big farce. Id rather she still be ill and that Greg only lied about how serious it was. She should be off now getting treatment to save her. It seems kinda cheap to say she never had cancer at all and ALL her symptoms were drug induced courtesy of evil mastermind Eli. I mean give me a break Co-sign, Cheap21. I resent the only story that was emotionally resonating was swallowed by evil Eli too.
