I'll go ahead and +2 that MichaelGL, that makes a lot of sense. Rama's already shown shades of the avaricious schemer, Vimal, just Mr. Milquetoast enough to go along with her plan. Of course we're assuming Clint won't be too busy serving time. :lol: He'll pay, SOMEhow, but he probably won't be locked up (for long anyway). I believe him when he said Bo will find no proof, he'll get caught in some technicality.

Loved the Bo/Clint scenes today! JvD just rocks as badass Clint.

Clint doesn't/didn't know about Natalie sleeping with Brody - that's why he didn't specify which test to switch. He only thinks Jessica had a paternity test.

LOL Yeah she looks similar to Lindsay Hartley. I have to say, she's very enjoyable to watch - she's so campy with the evil eyebrows and widened eyes. LOL

Nah, I was talking about Evangeline not the actress. The character changed when she cheated on RJ, but her martyrdom was insufferable under Higley. I loved her with John under Malone but being in a triangle with Natalie ruined the character. She wasn't allowed to show any layers whatsoever because the only way she could compete with white Natalie (trashy bar maid with absolutely no ambitions and even lesser vocabulary) was being surrounded by goodness and light with a permanent stick stuck up her ass. And after putting up with John's endless bull crap with Natalie she had absolutely nothing to show for it. I hated Higley's Evangeline and the Jo-triangle with a passion.

I was in a bad mood after dealing with some work stuff when I watched OLTL, so that may have played into it--but after complaining about RC dragging out stories, I actually felt the Clint reveal was a bit anticlimactic. I have no idea what I woulda prefered, so that's prob not fair to say, but...

I like Rama--at least for her first day (a few stumbled lines) but could she be any more cliched Indian "princess"? The way she talked, the language used, it just felt all a tad too cliche to me... I guess it's meant to be played for camp.

You completely missed the point. That doesnt matter. The point is WHY would he assume that Vimal would know that it was Jessica that needed her test switched? Dont you think somewhere in his instructions, he'd have to tell Vimal what name he would have to look up? Just saying "my daughter" is too vague

    • A kind angel has added both episodes to the vault (UK Diva TV broadcast version). 
    • Yes, I think that is the most likely situation.  TPTB were unhappy with the offer(s) they got from the tourism board in Finland, and decided the trip was going to be too expensive for P&G/NBC to finance alone.   I would also speculate a similar situation likely occurred a few years later with the planned location shoot in Egypt, which was also cancelled after the storyline had already started, and changed to Arizona.

    • In my usual account on my most used video hosting site with the video title  DAYS 1-8-15 Will & Paul Sex This is an edit I began when I was first teaching myself to edit & at that time I couldn't make it do what I wanted it to do. I pulled it up & finished it this morning. 
    • Or Megan is shot as retaliation for Dave's unpaid gambling debts...while Julie confesses she's the biological mother of Special Guest Star Barry Bostwick's little boy.
    • Finland seemed such an odd choice for a location shoot. ATWT went to Greece and later Spain while GL had Tenerife and there were others in that timeframe. But Finland not being a known tourist destination or offering the tropical/sunny atmosphere usually associated with location shoots seems off brand. Maybe they were negotiating a deal with a tourist association and it fell through.
    • I was talking about 1986, but the glimpses of 1982 are about the same. 
    • I skimmed some of the 1982 synopses; Steve was planning on an opening an office in Finland, and I think Jim went there as part of the preparation. That probably was a big issue; AW had already gone to San Diego that year, with Rachel/Steve/Mitch. And to upstate NY with Pete and Diana. I wonder if upstate was as expensive lol  AW in 1982 has always fascinated me, because of how messy it was 
    • That makes sense. What a messy time for the show. And any changes they made were mostly for the worse.
    • The transition from Neal to Adam was very abrupt, and to be honest my theory is that the character of Neal was designed so that we think he is super shady but then it turns out that he was on the side of good all along so Neal could have seamlessly become a hero of the BCPD with no need for Adam. I don't know whether Robert Lupone was hired on a short contract or if he was fired from a longer-term contract because they decided they wanted someone who was more of a leading man type, but I can imagine a scenario where Charles Grant did both the undercover Egyptian treasure/flirt with Victoria and the straighter-arrow day to day police investigation. But in my imagined scenario the MJ prostitution plotline probably doesn't exist and instead he probably continues a relationship with Victoria. The story seems very odd to me. I assume that David Canary would have been included only because a plotline where Steve is going to Finland in which only Rachel is seen in actual Finland seems unlikely. The synopses explicitly mention that Alice can't go with Steve but would whoever was playing Alice at that time have had the kind of clout to get the remote cancelled? It also strikes me as unlikely that production would have approved the expensive location shoot and *then* cancelled it only because of jealousy. It seems more likely that they rejected it because of the expense but then the jealousy part got added to the gossip speculatively, possibly because while it was being worked out they justified not including more castmembers because of the expense.
