Frankly, it wouldn't have surprised me one bit to learn Irene Manning had actually killed Victor. Just imagine, too, if Dorian had discovered that little nugget of information.

It wasn't some dramatic, tearful confession, but she did say, "I killed your father, Victor Lord" and Viki just brushed her off. Robin has always maintained that Dorian did it and I wondered if this was a little gift to her from RC that could easily be worked around... Just as easily as Viki dismissed the claim.

OLTL trying to make a mystery out of who was Viki's daughter, Sarah or Megan was so stupid considering they were different ages! Only one of them could have been born when Viki was 18 and that was the older one, duh! That storyline seemed like todays type of writing

The whole thing was a little dumb. I think viewers just went along because they loved both Megan and Sarah and wanted to see the conflict with Viki.

Rauch seemed to really throw new characters in without build up. When it didn't work, it didn't work, but when it did, the characters became hugely popular.

And when Viki brought up the fact to her that neither of them did bc he came back in 2003, Dorian just said "if it really was him". She never saw him then so wouldnt have been able to assess if that was Victor or not. I thought it was vauge as nothnig was clairifed in that episode. I dont see why any of this was even brought up as it went nowhere

If the writers really wanted to do something with this, they could have revealed that the man was actually Victor's brother. This could have been the springboard to bringing on new Lords as he could have had kids/grandkids

Richard Abott was the son of Victor's sister Gwendolyn Abbott.

Powell Lord was the grandson (or possibly son) of the brother of Victor.

I would not want to see other Lord relatives until all of the ones we know about were used. Dr. Dan Wolek was wasted so during the final decade. Tina also had two children who were not used to their fullest.

Viki saw him, though, and she assessed that he was. Of course, as we know by now, physical resemblance alone means nothing in these situations, and they could explain it away by saying he underwent surgery to look like Victor.

    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?
