Will Jessica please grow an effing backbone? I am so sick of her (and OLTL's writers) pulling out Tess every time she's the least bit hurt. Stand up for yourself, Jess! Don't let it fall upon your alter ego's shoulders every time to do it!

And yeah, Charlie's pretty much trashed, character-wise, now that he and Echo have slept together. If Viki takes him back after that.....

I loved the Clint and Natalie scene. She didnt judge him for what he had done and he didnt judge her. Like father like daughter. I liked how that was put out there

Tess cares about protecting herself. If she can use the baby as a bargaining chip with Ford to keep herself out, she will

I figured since she fell in love with Nash, she might care about other people that Jess did, too, like her children. And I thought her objective is to hurt people that hurt Jess, like hurting Natalie a few years ago. But now she's letting Natalie get off the hook and she's parading around with Jess's rapist? Seriously?

Obviously she didn't kill Viki :P , but she made an attempt at Viki's life you're trying to say? Wait, was she the one who went off on Viki when she had the heart attack?

Yeah, text book speaking, isn't the point of these personalities to protect the primary personality? Tess out and about and on the loose, "I'ma do me" attitude, does that jive? Or are they in the broadest sense saying that Jessica just needs a break and Tess is going to go all out with that concept? I know this is just a soap opera but when dealing with a very campy storytelling device that is actually rooted in a very serious subject matter, I feel that you have to handle it as accurately and respectfully as possible.

I was watching Roseanne on Oprah the other day and I recall an appearance she made on there with Tom Arnold years ago where she said she had DID and one of her alters would take over and drive her to parts unknown. Then she was on again later and asked about it and she said, "Oh I don't have that no more." Then just the other day she revealed that what she called "incest" by her parents probably wasn't "incest" at all by most standards yet she knew no other word for what happened. Did I mention she was a big fan of OLTL? Anyway, it got me to thinking if they'd ever dare to go the route that Viki or even Jessica's (harder with her as there was taped evidence) sexual abuse wasn't real but imagined.

    • I've said this before, but I strongly suspect Carlivati would've just... brought Duke back again if he'd stayed at the show long enough. They really fúcked up Duke's return leaving him moribund and pathetic after her eturned, whereas Ian Buchanan IRL is anything but. I have no real interest in another return for him but honestly Zombie Duke Round 2, with a little life in him again, could not be worse than most of Anna's dreadful pairings since, and given Tristan and Robert are clearly not an option. But I do think she should have a new, better man.
    • Am I wrong or was Gail (and putting her with Lee) a Marland addition?
    • Brooke Logan agrees with this statement.

    • I loathed Duke and especially loathed Anna being with Duke.   I hated that the tango was one of their things.    I don't care about Chase one way or another.   I would have enjoyed finally Finola dancing as Anna without Duke.  But it wasn't that important to me.
    • Doug looked delicious in Thursday's episode. The episode wasn't as great as Wednesday's. I was a bit disappointed. It was nice seeing Paul again but I'm not thrilled at the way their writing John's exist.

    • Thanks again @Paul Raven .  With Denny we now get the arrival of Toni Bua. If the show had been renewed, I wonder if she would have stayed on. Given the influx of new female characters in her age range, I don't know.
    • Happy 40th anniversary, Bo and Hope!

        And it was so great to see them again, and for the two of them to finally have scenes with both Shawn and Ciara, as a family. I especially enjoyed the first scene with Hope at Bo’s bedside and the flashback to their wedding. It was really sweet. Victoria Konefal did a really good job too. It really is a shame that things didn’t work out with her… and that her character was so disregarded by the previous writing team. And yeah, they really didn’t need to have Ciara mention her serial killer though. It was not necessary. I mean, Ron’s gone lol we don’t need to do this anymore. And I don’t know where she was going with those leather pants either. As for John, like I said yesterday, I just don’t know. I’m glad that he’s a part of trying to save Bo’s life, but to have him go out like this… As much as I disliked the whole Orpheus thing, maybe they should’ve continued on with that for John’s exit story. Like I said before, and have John sacrifice his own life to kill Orpheus once and for all. Because the fact that Orpheus is still gonna be alive while John isn’t kinda pisses me off. I can’t help but wonder if this was always planned or if Paula/Jeanne changed the story. But I think this whole thing is gonna be very divisive. Soap Twitter/social media will probably be explosive today. 
    • It was interesting to peruse Twitter and seeing some fans who were very upset Anna didn't get to do a tango with Chase, while others were glad because they felt that was her special dance with Duke. A good reminder of how long-lasting soap fanbases can be, even as the show has tried to move Anna on. How any Duke/Anna fan did manage to stick with the show I don't know, but points for will power, I suppose.
    • It's probably a good thing most of us don't post here often now as the shameful conduct of the "legacy media" enabling the attention seeking and grudge holding of Tapper and Alex Thompson would probably have broken the servers. I avoid CNN as often as I can, so I had no idea that every anchor on CNN, probably even an AI Larry King, was plugging the book 24/7. The wagons truly are circling, as even some journalists who love to pretend they aren't like the rest, like Dave Weigel, have joined in. I am at the point where I have no use for any major reporters or media figures. I find it especially disgusting when I see reporters who talk about losing loved ones supporting this book after the reports you posted.
