Charlie is trying to help Echo, but rubbing on her arm and knee is taking a bit a far. It's transparent that she's playing games.

Loved Aubrey today. She might be a con artist, but it was good to see Clint over a barrel. "Fix this or I'll fix you".

The direction in the Dorian/Rex scenes was interesting, but funny.

Well waddya know, I thought today's show was thoroughly entertaining (well for the most part)

I don't give a hot damn about James, Starr, or Michelle, but suprisingly Starr was the most irritating part of it all. I don't know if OLTL expects me to feel sorry for James, but I don't like at all.

I get what they were trying to do with the Rex and Dorian scenes, however it failed. That was a mess. I also don't like any of JPL's acting choices, they bother me. I don't know why he feels it necessary to try to make every scene more comedic.

Ahh liked Joey and Kelly today, quite a bit actually and Cutter was pretty funny. Joey showed a little fire and spark, there was some life in them, nice chemistry between the three, and I'm glad for a slow build for Joey and Kelly. This works much better as a triangle than a quad - Aubrey should just go team up with Clint.

Today was the most I have liked Terri C and Aubrey since she has joined the show and I think they should transition her out of the Joey/Cutter stuff and put her into a full story with Clint. I'm fine with her being the new Kim. She and JVD seemed like they enjoyed sparring today and they have the potential to be the new Asa/Alex. It would be something fun for the show.

Charlie is being ridiculous. Isn't Echo living in Viki's house? How in the world is Viki not being generous? Free room and board seems generous to me. The irritating thing is, while Echo does have feelings for Charlie, she wasn't even manipulating him, he was just being a jerk.

I'm Team Clint when it comes to Bo, I'm sorry, he's just self-righteous and irritating to me. I'm actually TeamClint when it comes to several characters (especially Ford, do not care that he got beat up), I'm enjoying JVD that much.

Agree with most of what you say--and exactly re the Dorian/Rex scenes. Rex always makes weird acting choices (well more often than not), but the voice over and weird camera angles were... yeah strange. However that's the kinda thing I appreciate that OLTL tries (as long as they realized it failed and don't make a habit of it) and most soaps nowadays don't even attempt.

I don't think he cares about rising to any challenge. He's had dramatic scenes in the last few years and failed miserably at them. He's been given so many opportunities that he does nothing with. He shouldn't even be on the show now - he was a big reason why the show was rotgut for big parts of 2009. Yet he was rewarded for that while many better actors in the story were fired.

I think they love the character but the actor, they seem to have realized his severe limitations. He was put into a story where he doesn't have to do anything at all. People run around him and all he has to do is make stupid faces.

They give JPL though the opportunity to perform with the best of the cast, due to that I think they like him.

I too think TC has chemistry with JvD, especially when they were behind his desk.

If OLTL is wanting us to dislike Bo, they are doing a good job of it. He forgives Bobby Ford for what happened with Jessica, what?

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.

      I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.

      Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis.

      Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?

      Honestly who's to say Leslie even birthed Eva, I mean she's a liar, I wouldn't believe a word she says about Eva being Ted's(or hers)

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

        1. 11/1/83 cast/set list:  

      Please register in order to view this content

          The "11/2/83" video you posted of Ruth Buzzi's scenes includes Roman and Hope in them, meaning the video you posted is actually 11/1/83, since Roman and Hope aren't in 11/2/83.   2. The video you posted of "11/2/83" has scenes with Roman and Hope. As you can see from my cast/set list, Roman and Hope are not in the 11/2/83 episode (see above note):   4573...11/2/83: Cast: Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Neil, Don, Marie, Alex, Liz, Andre as Tony, Gwen, Chris, Eugene, Sandy, Letitia, Charlene, Mrs. Whiting, Wanda/Guard, Dave, Delia, Saleslady # 1, Saleslady # 2, Figure in Dark, Raven/animal, Cats/animals, Birds/animals.   2.  11/3/83 :My video collection starts with 11/4/83. so I don't have the 11/1/83 or 11/3/83 video, but in addition to the cast/set list for 11/3/83, here is also the parking clearance call sheet for that day, showing Ruth was not only in the cast/set list but did work that day:     They even had hired the animal trainer and all the animals for the day, so It's sort of a certainty that her scenes were not cut that day, or it would have been a big waste of the budget. 3. As for 11/7/83, I just fast-forwarded through that whole episode myself. Letitia is in it from start to finish. It's her big final episode where she is killed. She starts the episode saying "Eugene, are you there?" In the next act, Marlena shows up and meets Letitia's lion. Later in the episode, Letitia is killed by "Eugene" (the Salem Slasher in a Eugene mask).   So, as we can see from your own post, the 11/2/83 date you have listed on that video is incorrect, since Hope and Roman are in that video but not in the 11/2/83 episode.It seems the dates you have on all your early November 1983 episodes are incorrect.   When you post videos and suggest that my data is incorrect, do you not first compare who is in the scenes and see if that matches who is in the episode? You didn't do that with the "11/2/83" episode, which based on Roman and Hope being in it means that is actually 11/1/83. Best to do something like that first before suggesting my data and research is incorrect.

      Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.
