They should be ashamed for putting Robin under that harsh courthouse lighting all episode.

First Ford, now this... RC must have a thing for pizza man porn. First tape he snuck from his dad's sock drawer back in the day.

There is just so much sex going on today. Imagine all the red faced teenaged girls watching with their grandmas.

When David was speaking with Viki at the courthouse. She said the friendship with Dorian went both ways. Then he said...

Me too. She is SO unnecessary.

Hubby doesn't seem to mind..... ;)

Wink, wink. Nod, nod. Know what I mean?

Oy today was bad, bad soap. The dialogue and acting for B&N scenes were even bad today OUCH.

Only bright spot was ES/RS delivered a genuine, heartfelt how the heck did Viki/Dorian get to be "friends" moment and I bought it. Viki looked suitably uncomfortable with Dorian's gushing and Dorian looked suitably a tad more insecure than her gushing words.

Wow. I am almost embarrassed to admit that I am enjoying this TRASH. It is trashy fun. The show just makes me smile. IT doesn't make me think. It doesn't make me feel. It doesn't teach me anything. I simply enjoy it. And Josh Kelly to me is the HOTTEST.

And SFK, I second the horrific lighting on poor Robin today. My god. OLTL tends to be so well lit, but you simply DO NOT light a woman in her 60's like that. I don't care what the budget is. OLTL needs to tone down the lighting in daytime scenes. The night scenes are lit beautifully.

Maybe that's why he tries to overcompensate with the most cleavage on a male on OLTL I've seen since Bo's last love scene. (not that I disapprove of Josh Kelly's pecs, it's one of the few times I actually bother looking at the screen anymore so I guess Valentini's vision for this show is working)

You know, amybe I was just in a good mood cuz it was Friday, or maybe I've given up on expecting anything but campy hijinks from OLTL, but I kinda agree. I thought today's ep was more or less painless, stupid, trashy, and actually had fun watching it. (I didn't expect anything else, but I seriously doubt any element of that porn shoot had ay basis in reality--from not recognizing your "actor", to the postively Victorian undergarments and porno directors even pretending anymore that they have a script...)

And yes, that was the first timein ages I found myself thinking about how old Robin looked--and then feeling guilty for doing so... OLTL usually has really good lighting given their limitations, although I do think sometimes their dark scenes (not night scenes per se, but indoor "dark" scenes) are way too dark... I remember everyone commenting a while back on those Tea in the warehouse scenes being next to impossible to even tell what's happening, and I noticed that again the other week, even when I bumped the contrast on my tv)

(I'd like Josh a lot more if he wasn't anyother in Valentini's fetish for waxing his male stars--which granted most soaps still do, but OLTL seems to be most obsessed with. By his facial hair alone it's obvious he's not so plastic smooth naturally--obviously I've thought about this too much).

    • Spoke with my contacts at Lifetime. As of now, there is nothing to share in terms of updates. 
    • Which is still a form of manipulation. Granted it won't work because Ted isn't interested in Leslie at all no matter how much she tries to make him look like a horrible person. When you consider the situation with Hayley it does make sense why Anita would take that approach.
    • Another good one and great episode to start off the week. Confrontations, character moments, movement, and an awful lot of bubbles on display. lol.    I've found myself liking Sara Bibel breakdowns. And this episode might be why. I sense movement of plot going on. And Jazmen being on script duty has already become a highlight for me. So this episode dealing with more fallout from the SilkPress/Eva reveal was another good one. And even got a solid B plot moving in the Vanessa/Doug/Joey storyline...which I just said yesterday...has been the only one of the B plots...that has real build to it so far.    You are not a real soap pariah until you get dragged and a community treats you as such. So basically another old school soap vibe that Eva is giving me. Watching her trying to find her footing only to be read by just about everyone she has encountered has been great. It makes her so rootable. And she's played by an excellent actress. Cuz that quivering lip at the end with her and Anita...ooooo some of you all seem heated for Anita making poor girl cry even though it's her fault. That's great acting. Not to mention writing.    I also love that the side character got their point of view. I loved Mona moving about town trying to get info to avenge Nicole in a way. And she dragged Eva. She read Silk Press Sheila. And that 'enjoy the burn' was well-said. And did I see a spark with Mona and Randy? Hmmm. I don't mind.

          I also didn't mind that Martin/Kat scene. I enjoy their sibling relationship so far. And I feel like the right thing to do to keep them close as they support their mother. It even made sense that Martin would soften to the idea of Eva as part of the family given their brief scene at the start of this storyline. Meanwhile, NO from Kat. lol. And she's already questioning the DNA test...OF COURSE SHE IS. But again...that avail...her and Eva being the SAME age. Twins. I just felt the writers are really foreshadowing that heavy. Meanwhile, the SilkPress saga is far from over.   I love the parade of Ted Visitors. LMAO!!! I thought Dani vs Ted was pretty good. But I about fell out when Anita walked up in there like old school Sonny Corinthos. And I hollered with Anita wiping the floor with Ted with Dani in the background like Jason Morgan. Watch your step, Theodore. Anita was giving Boss Bitca and I was living.    That said...I didn't like Anita making poor Eva cry. But as was said above...the stuff with Hayley is still too fresh on the Duprees' mind. So sadly understandable, Anita set down the law.    Uh oh. Dani saw Vanessa with Joey. Granted they are not the BFFs, but I do hope that that means we are getting a Dani/Vanessa scene. And I loved that we got another step in the B storyline. Doug fighting (and failing) in his addiction. Meanwhile, Vanessa resisted hers. And Joey did not look happy.    And saying the best for last. I LOVE Nicole vs Silk Press Sheila. Ooooo Nicole got under her skin good. And I loved it. I also hollered at Silk Press couldn't even be fake nice for 5 whole minutes to her. DD did soooooooo good. The body language. The looks. The inflections on just the right words. I LOOOVVVE that confrontation and looking forward to more since she clearly verbally cracked SilkPress's face. Meanwhile, I was just as taken aback at Ted showing up at Silk Press Sheila's place. I also thought it was another fantasy. Nope. And then SilkPress put the moves on him and went just a little more cray cray in the coda.    Just such a great episode.

    • Nope still in development. ABC/Disney are having their upfronts today though, so there's a very slight hope we might get an update.
    • Has anyone ever posted January and February 1974? I can't find them in the 'Look Back to 75' thread. Thanks.
    • Did January and February 1974 DSN ever get posted? I can't seem to find it in this thread.
    • I agree. Especially after SilkPress got back to her apartment and started to mock Nicole. Her dislike for Nicole and seeing her as a threat to her getting Teddy Bear is growing worse. So I could see her pulling a kidnapping on Nicole at some point. If anything she was going there to poke the bear and got pressed (pun unintended) when the bear gathered her.   Completely understandable.
