Did I miss something? Why is Todd being such a jackass to Viki and isn't Jessica his favorite niece (or wasn't she at some point)?

Why is Todd being such a jackass to Viki

It's Wednesday?

I can't believe OLTL passed up that opportunity to have Ford take off his shirt. He was all wet. It could've been the bucket scene all over again.

Tea and Todd having a conversation about Tess and 2008 and the rapemance. How is she so cavalier about this?

Blair: How many languages do you speak?

Tomas: Five, but I'm originally from Puerto Rico.

*Blair takes this as her cue to name the 4 Latino people that she knows*

Tea, please keep calling him "new Todd."

I like the couple but that was one clunky line. They could've done the Tomas reveal without that goofy bit of foreshadowing - I've seen it done before in recent years.

Why doesn't anyone tell Todd to shove it when he's rude to them? I can't stand that.

I hate to say it, but Blair and Tomas are really boring me. I get that the writers do not want to give Blair another "evil" love interest, but the guy needs something wrong with him. He's too perfect and not even in a mysterious sort of way either. He and Blair are so sickeningly sweet to each other. It's like a more mature version of Bordy and Jessica. I see no sexual tension, no excitement, nada. Also, sketching pictures of her on napkins? Zzz. I've seen Cristian do that 100 times. Blair's romances need spice. So far this one is completely bland. I'm disappointed.

Previews: Is John going to sleep with Echo too!?

Tea is always cavalier about Todd's abuse of people, as long as it doesn't affect her. Rape, stealing children, killing unborn children, murder - it's all just hot stuff and noble martyrdom to Tea. Ron Carlivati certainly knows her character well.

But to be fair to Tea, the show rigorously whitewashes any of Todd's actions, especially from 2008. Viki also can't get very upset about what he did, and actively encourages him in new ventures. I guess the show feels if everyone acts A-OK about his behavior then that means it's great.

Exactly how does that make her a hypocrite?.

It makes Vicki a hypocrite because what Brody and especially Natalie did was arguable worse than what Clint did and when Natalie confessed she acted like Natalie confessed to having her period. She has every reason to be upset at Clint but considering she instantly forgave Natalie and automatically swept her lies under the rug, getting up in Clint's face calling him a monster and wailing she doesn't know who he is smacks of hypocrisy.

Viki would b e a hypocrite if she herself had switched a DNA test or withheld information about paternity. What you described is Viki being biased, not hypocritical

Perhaps she was supportive of Natalie because Natalie was obviously distressed and remorseful, and Viki didn't feel like kicking her while she was down. Viki did

express anger at Natalie when telling Charlie what happened. Clint is upset that the truth came out, but really hasn't expressed remorse for his actions and

arrogantly and defiantly maintains that he was just doing what was best for the family.

Starr and James have literally had the same conversation for four months now after Cole got sent to prison. They have made NO progress whatsoever. Today they literally had the same conversation twice within the same episode.

LMAO at Tess faking Jessica!

Cheap, how about she's hypocritical in her bias

Please. Natalie was distressed because John left her ass at the alter. Not because she was remorseful about her lies. She would have continued lying if she could have gotten away with it. Just like Clint, she excused her lies for the purpose of being what's best for the family. One denied his child and the other passed hers off as her husband's knowing it was her sister's boyfriend. I'll reiterate since it was shown on screen, Tess emerged because of Natalie's lies NOT Clint's. Vicki laying everything at Clint's feet while giving Natalie a free pass just for the hell of it continues to be ridiculous.

Natalie's lies actually were for the best. John is back to his usual pathetic mopey manwhore self, and Jessica has gone crazy yet again.

While I hate Rex and appreciate any effort to deny him, Clint's schemes against Rex (and David) had little purpose or motivation.
