This Deanna thing is ringing some Montana Fishburne bells.

Jack tried to take a humiliating naked pic of Shane yesterday but his plan was foiled. He just wants to embarrass the kid and perhaps it will have serious legal consequences.

Could Jack secretly be gay and/or attracted to Shane, but uncomfortable w/ his feelings, and this is his effed-up way of lashing out against all that?

Thats what I was thinking Khan.

True.

Also true (and very sad). Short of that, however, I would love to see Roxy sink down to Jack's level and try to humiliate him and/or his family online. If nothing else, it would give Ilene Kristen something to do!

It isn't necessarily what I was thinking, though. I only offered the possibility (that Jack taking naked photos of Shane and then posting them online is somehow born out of confused feelings about him) b/c I'm just trying to make sense of the whole thing. I mean, bully and embarrass him on the Internet, fine. But naked photos? Unless Shane is doing something while naked that would be embarrassing, I just don't understand.

I know, I really hope it doesn't come to that.

OLTL is not very subtle with character shading. Have you all noticed how they have rather clumsily shoved in some "tender" moments for Jack to make it very clear that we should have some sympathy for him from the top of this bullying storyline? Having him "cry" over Todd, the prayer circle today, it's like what they did with Ford though they've started early instead of making up for lost time with the abusive Eddie revelations and all that.

Seeing Jack's reaction to crying and when Danni tried to comfort him today, may be the confused about his sexual orientation plot is coming. It sounds lifted from Glee. Jack's the football player and Shane is Kurt.

It's OK to humanize him (Jack crying over his comatosed farther), so long as the end message is clear: he's not the victim, and his actions are not justifiable - understandable (whatever the motive turns out to be) - but not acceptable. But OLTL doesn't know how to blend the two, and they never really know the moral centre of these types of stories, which is why the bully is always given carte blanche.

    • I thought today was still good. Leo is always awful, but the characters treating him like he's a plague feeds my soul. Rafe in particular had been very passive about him, but today was wonderful seeing him put Leo on notice. I really think it's being written that Javi is going to have to eventually take the blinders off and see Leo for who he really is. Them having sex on Gabi's desk made me want to explode. Roman taking in stray Doug was nice to see. And the mention of Frankie and Max was unexpected, but good to know they're at least being thought of. Tate being petty and a bit vindictive by going back to Sophia's as soon as he saw Doug with Holly was entertaining for me. I think I actually like Tate the most out of all of them because he's so damn messy.  Is Holly about to be kidnapped? Her first time? Also, Gabi finally revealing what happened with her the night EJ was shot and the clearing of all the other main suspects, but Johnny made this still feel like an important episode. I think Johnny will be cleared soon enough leaving everybody at a loss for the hell shot EJ. How the real shooter will be revealed is going to be interesting.  Speculation: When Kristen finally puts together that her daughter Rachel shot him, she'll agree to frame her mother for the crime, while keeping her hidden away from Salem.
    • That would have saved the Anita singing segment -- having her by herself, singing quietly and reflectively. Belting it out like she was in church did not work. The black screens fade at the end was a mistake. BTG insists on being different with these fades for the sake of being different, and it's not working.   I thought all of that was just fine. Worked for me.   I'm going to disagree with this. Martin hasn't had many scenes with his parents, but he's been around family A LOT -- and that's what matters. We also know Martin is someone with a hair trigger response. He can be very emotional when discussing an issue before getting to the logic and reason of it all.  
    • My view of Evan is that he's smart but not as smart as he thinks he is, not a good guy but not an entirely bad guy - he's a lot of things, the show never quite knowing what to do with them. I never saw him as Iris' follower because Iris always seemed a bit in over her head from the start. 
    • She was the Town Historian, who knew a bit too much about Brandon and the infamous cottage.  SF was still a pretty normal place at that time, with Nola and Reva being the most outrageous citizens....seems that Carrie Pipper would have stood out a bit more for people.

    • Yes, I need to dot hat. Also on my list talking to the person I got these files from since they clearly have a mess, in terms of dates being wrong. And, unfortunately finding one date wrong, automatically means more are wrong, too. 
    • I'm hoping that it doesn't happen. If the show keeps putting out good performance and story it will be hard to shut it out. Daphnee, Trisha, Ambyr and Colby are earning nominations without question.
    • Speaking of correcting dates, since you mentioned it above, why don't you go back to your Saturday post and edit it and replace your wording of "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-2-83"  with "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-1-83" and add a note that the video has the wrong date of 11/2/83 on it, and that the video is actually 11/1/83.
