OLTL: Discussion for the week of January 24

[SFK]

No, a full on charged kiss on the lips isn't "platonic", I just mean when you have a friend of the opposite sex (or the same sex if you two are homosexual), there's usually some period in the friendship (early or eventual) where you dance with the romantic prospect. Of course they did this dance, what, two years ago now before it was dropped but this might be their moment to finally go there and "get it out of the way" so to speak or find that there's really something there. I do think it was a needy kiss on both ends, though Matthew still has the upper hand here. I understand what you're saying though, it's like a far less dramatic version of Dimitri and Maria kissing and screwing out of pain and grief for their own predicaments and seeing a like soul in distress and need of comfort. "Make me feel gooood!" I still don't like them as a couple but love them as best friends.

Cracking up at some of the comments over on YouTube. A young, enthusiastic bunch. Fun. But there are guesses that Tomas is Todd's brother, Todd as in TSJ being faux Todd/Walker. I was wondering something, and someone kind of confirmed my hunch with a good catch: the SN of the person cyber bullying Shane is "WhoDaMann" as in Manning as in SORAS'd Jack. If that's true that's weird and kinda effed up how Jack's suddenly older than Shane (nothing new for OLTL) and making his life a living hell.

I would crack up if they opened tomorrow with Des and Matt all up in the afterglow, having fucked in his room while Bo and Nora were at work.

Because that happens with kids that age all the time today. Just be candid and matter of fact; maybe they do it because they're lonely and upset with their lives, maybe it was rash, maybe she still wants Darren back, but this is still good drama. Not every teenage couple has a candlelit cherry-poppin' gala. But because they're not as old as Lenny Platt and Des is black, the show would never dare. And yet the shitty American ripoff of Skins remains the talk of the town just for broaching the issue. You know when they'll [!@#$%^&*] under a Brian Frons regime? When Matthew is recast and Destiny is played by a 22-year-old light-skinned girl who is thin but wearing baggy clothes.

Just like that Nate is off? All he did was confess that he didnt do it, with no evidence to corroborate his new claims. All he did was prove he is a liar.

[MontyB]

LOL!!! You're probably right.

All in all, I thought the kiss was very sweet and natural.

[SFK]

That WOULD be hilarious and awful and altogether great television.

I dunno Monty, I *guess* it was sweet but I'm a little leery and feeling protective of Destiny's feelings. You know if Dani dumped Nate and shook her hot little tail (I don't care what she SAYS to Nate, it was all in her eyes, that girl is trying to get slayed) in Matt's face again you best believe he wouldn't turn it down a second time. I feel like Destiny's going to get her feelings hurt. And oy, if Matt takes Destiny's V and not Darren, that should be some good little drama, kind of reminds me of Reggie/Dani/Josh, although Matt is of course Destiny's first (unrequited) love. At any rate, I look forward to the inevitable fight scene btw Matt and Darren. Then maybe their grown ass big brothers who evidently have nothing better to do can meet at the diner and try to sort things out.

Ironically, hours after Layla exited OLTL, TS's character "Raina" premiered on Gossip Girl. She's the daughter of Manhattan's newest mover and shaker, Russell Thorpe (Michael Boatman). WTG, Tika!

[CouchTomato]

Lucky Tika went from Cardboard to Cavalli. I'm so glad she got a role in such a major frontburner. She looked gorgeous!

[MontyB]

I didn't mean that Destiny was going to come out the winner in this, I just thought the scene itself was sweet. If TPTB follow though, it could be quite interesting.

[chrishntr]

I be damned Dorian and Joe still have that spark.

[alexisfan07]

He has more chemistry with her than Kelly or Aubrey

[SFK]

Ha, of course they didn't pick right back up with Destiny and Matt.

OLTL's two prettiest girls are living in Paris.

Dorian cracks me up, RS is still in the business of making such wonderful little detailed choices.

I liked the look of all of them at dinner, it was a sleek, visually pleasing scene.

Shane's voice!

Are we going to start EVERY Aubrey/Cutter scene post cimax?

This Todd thing is making me queasy.

[OLTL_fan]

Jack is definitely the cyber bully. WhoDaMann, Mann as in Manning.

[chrishntr]

Of course it's Jack, at least he gets it honestly.

[Vizion]

LMAO, Kim Zimmer in a scene with JPL and FF, I wonder if she thought she was being PUNK'D

Ugh, I hate that I think Kelly and Cutter have chem because I am so over the good girl falling for the bad boy retread

I did think Dorian and Joey had a spark, however I'm good on seeing them again. It'd be nice if they'd bring on a love interest for Dorian not named David though.

As for Joey, he went right back to being dumb, I get that he has to be a little clueless for this story to work, but COME ON!

I'm over the constant humpfests between Cutter and Aubrey, they're just skanky. Not fun, not entertaining.

Another day of Tea/Todd/Blair/Tomas dullness. Listen, I will sit through all of these history lessons if it means Rogert Howarth is returning, however if it doesn't mean he's coming back, please stop now. I enjoyed Ted King on GH, however he is coming off as a cliched bore thus far.

Any scene between Zimmer, Slezak and Strasser is great! : )

I think the only way I'll care about this after school special with Shane is if the bullying leads to him shooting all of the Fords and their annoying nitwit girlfriends (Starr, Dani, and Langston)
