RS has talked about how she's the last of the soap divas not to have had a facelift. She's had a couple of procedures on her face just not the big one. It's that awful almost fluorescent overhead courthouse lighting. She looks much better at La Boulaie.

emphasis on old. She was looking pretty old and haggered today. I bet she dreads the day the show actually goes to HD. This could have been fixxed with better make up but Ive noticed lately its as if they want her to look bad on camera bc her makeup, hair and clothing overall is a mess

The show has done this to her before (the Rauch era). I will say that I'd rather see a woman look her age than see her look like an alien, or see a young woman who looks haggard because the show trashes her up, like what they do to Bree Williamson sometimes.

She looked pretty good in the scenes when she was with David after his "rescue." I think it depends on the wig.

Oh IA. Im just saying there are techniques that can be used to fix this but for whatever reason, those in charge of making her look good, arent doing a good job at this. For example, her wedding dress was downright awful. It also made her look messy and frumpy. They could have put her in something more flattering to make her appear more youthful and stylish, which Dorian Lord should be. This Dorian on my scren has no style

I feel in the minority here in thinking that David Vickers is absolutely revolting, a complete cartoon, & Tuc Watkins is a TERRIBLE actor. Everything that comes out of his mouth sounds like it is being said as a joke. I can't take him serious one bit and I don't enjoy watching him at all.

LOL Kourtney Kardashian did so bad, especially in the flashback gym scenes. I literally went ph34r.gif when she was like "Oh snap, this is getting interesting" after Cristian punched that guy out. That line, the way she said it, didn't even seem to fit with what happened at all!! It was just bad. Oh and the "with 2 K's" line was annoying. I did like the kiss at the end though between her and Cristian ;-)

"Hold the pepperoni" is absolutely hilarious, kills me every single time it's referenced to and I'm actually kinda enjoying Austin Peck on the show.

I like David/Tuc fine but I can't invest in him anymore (I thought he'd stick around for a BIT longer this time) and the more cartoony he gets the less I like him, so I do kinda see your point AllMyDays.

Wow Kim Kardashian's little sister (I swear to god till last week I had no idea there was a whole clan of them, I just knew her from Dancing with the Stars) was horrible. Almost so bad it was camptastic I admit, yet why did they even bother? I doubt it got even one extra viewer, and the story with them wasn't written well enough to be a nice humorous break or anything that had any sort of impact.

Cutter the porn star? OK now we are just delving into the EP/HW's fantasies (I have a suspicion if he does go that far he'll wear a lot less than the utterly old fashioned outfit we saw the female porn actress in). Wow Ausin Peck must suck as a porn director if he just pulls his cast from the street. But what was the joke porn title name Rex gave Nora when entering the details? Cuz I completely missed it...

IU think they poorly lit Dorian, but still think she looks great, but that wedding dress was just... Awful--

And shooting a porno at a fleabag motel in some random Philly suburb is the epitome of sketch. Craigslist creepy.

I missed the porn name Rex muttered too.

  • Member

Especially of a hit porno franchise. I dunno obviously they're trying to make a it a frothy "fun sexy" story and not one that's all that realistic about porn (good or bad)... I mean oddly some of the suburbs of Vancouver are big hubs of "internet reality porn" but this whole thing just boggles...

Is the Minute Man a recent motel for Llanview or had they mentioned it in past years? Was there another place for people who couldn't afford either the Palace or even Roxy's place?

  • Member

I've also heard RS say that she does her own makeup. I know the red is kind of Dorian's signature now, but that hard red and dark makeup can make her look witchier than she should look. Sharon Osbourne's had all the plastic surgery to make it work, her face is like a plump baby's butt (no pedo). And look at Lucci, how she softened the hair and skin color as she got older.

I'm pretty sure the Minute Man is new, Llanview's answer to the Pine Cone. I do feel that there was another shabby motel back in the '90s, not sure though. You know, the kind of place where Todd or strung out Rachel would have ended up in at some point.

She's almost 66 years old. She looks fine to me. We don't need her looking like Jackie Zeman.

Robin Strasser is the oldest contract cast member on OLTL right now.....

Tuc started talking like an automated help line about fifteen returns ago and it seems to be this way now for good.

I absolutely loved Robin's performance and she had this fragility that reminded me of just how vulnerable Dorian is. It makes me miss the old Cramer family dynamics even more and makes me even more upset about the potential lost with Addie and Melinda.

Well, I 100% agree with you and have for years. What really burns my bridges is how TW and TIIC almost intentionaly turned the old savvy con arstist David into this Forrest Gump-like creature. It's frankly very offensive how they deliberating have characters rolling their eyes and hinting David is... to use an old ugly word, mildly to moderately RETARDED.

I for the life of me can't see what someone as brilliant as Dorian would see in this David, so this D&D never work for me. I never bought Dorian with dumb Charlie either. Dorian worked with Mel b/c both were smart as whips.

What was the name of the seedy motel Malone used in the 90s? The one Todd lived in for a while in 94? Anyone remember?

It looks like the same motel they've been using for years. Im not sure if it got a name till recently. I reemember this set going back to when Roxy first arrived in town with Alison Perkins

thats not Kim's little sister. Kourtney is the oldest of the 5 sisters

I don't think I've ever been so happy to see Jessica back. I realize it's probably temporary, but.

Deanna was stronger on her first day than she is today with the soap soliloquies. I am curious to know what went down. I was wondering what's taken her so long to get in touch with James or vice versa, but I guess when you don't know what state someone's now living in nor their new cell phone number and they don't have a MyFace it can be hard to get in touch.
