OLTL: Discussion for the week of May 9

That wouldn't have been soapy fun. Todd used air quotes for rape, so he's fun, and John strings women along while pouting, so he's a hero.

The KAD killer stabbed Blair several times in the shower to get to John or Todd or something.

I think Marty should dissappear now. The should could kill her off to write SH out but bring her back having only faked her death. Marty returns later in the summer and goes on her serial killing spree that I suggested and she can also do what Deedee suggested, trying to ruin Todd annd torture John. With everyone think she's dead, they would never suspect her of tormenting and putting all of Llanview on edge. If she's gonna go out, Id rather she go out with a big bang

For Clint, redemption is a little thing known as heart-disease. Reminds me of how the show redeems Todd for his actions.

I think it was stupid for Natalie to verbally acknowledge that she was searching for the tape, once she had pulled Marty off the ledge. Natalie should have quietly searched for the tape, pocketed it, and left with her newborn baby.

Instead of a faux death for Marty she should run away to Europe & return around Christmas rehabilitated.

Have her apologize to John/Nat & Kelly while plotting to ruin Todd with Tomas (since Thorsten isn't returning & Blair will be with Roger's Todd).

Throw in Cole being released early from prison & Marty is somewhat happy, still a little crazy but also still viable.

The saddest thing is that nobody (Viki, Jess, Nora) is even aware of or around to help her issues.

Marty returns around Christmas but the show is over in January. Not enough time :(

as for the second part, with the way the writing is, I dont think any of them would care. All 3 shrugged it off the first time she went to St. Anne's. I dont recall anyone visiting her or expressing any concern for her ordeal.

Not Howarth. There's no way they got rid of Our Lady of the Perpetual Rape just to bring back Sir RapesaLot. I think that was just bad timing. There's no way the show would've purposely torpedoed the chance to re-victimize Marty. Plus I don't think RH is getting that much money. If the show was still alive, yes but he knew the show was canceled and this is just a temp job for him so he can collect a little extra cash.

I guess a better question is: who benefits from Haskell's exit? Definitely not RH.

I kind of feel like they may not want people to remember what Todd did to Marty. That would detract from this story they seem to think is cool or fun, about how RH's return will affect Todd and his harem.

But if she leaves in the next month or two (with help from a sympathetic Tomas) & returns around Christmas she has enough time to get a holiday miracle (Cole released), make peace with Nat/John/Kelly & plot to ruin Todd in time for the end of the show.

It doesn't have to be a long rehab arc just one that doesn't let her end up becoming a random soap psycho.

Touche. :(

Exactly.

He's totally gonna be used to "rehab" Todd.

I realize we cast a lot of aspersions on people's stated sexualities...but does anyone else's gaydar "ping" around Mr. Warlock? Or is it just me?

See, I read that too fast the first time, and I thought you called them "selfish black ho's." To which, I was going to say, "Well, at least OLTL is featuring Blacks for a change."

    • A kind angel has added both episodes to the vault (UK Diva TV broadcast version). 
    • Yes, I think that is the most likely situation.  TPTB were unhappy with the offer(s) they got from the tourism board in Finland, and decided the trip was going to be too expensive for P&G/NBC to finance alone.   I would also speculate a similar situation likely occurred a few years later with the planned location shoot in Egypt, which was also cancelled after the storyline had already started, and changed to Arizona.

    • In my usual account on my most used video hosting site with the video title  DAYS 1-8-15 Will & Paul Sex This is an edit I began when I was first teaching myself to edit & at that time I couldn't make it do what I wanted it to do. I pulled it up & finished it this morning. 
    • Or Megan is shot as retaliation for Dave's unpaid gambling debts...while Julie confesses she's the biological mother of Special Guest Star Barry Bostwick's little boy.
    • Finland seemed such an odd choice for a location shoot. ATWT went to Greece and later Spain while GL had Tenerife and there were others in that timeframe. But Finland not being a known tourist destination or offering the tropical/sunny atmosphere usually associated with location shoots seems off brand. Maybe they were negotiating a deal with a tourist association and it fell through.
    • I was talking about 1986, but the glimpses of 1982 are about the same. 
    • I skimmed some of the 1982 synopses; Steve was planning on an opening an office in Finland, and I think Jim went there as part of the preparation. That probably was a big issue; AW had already gone to San Diego that year, with Rachel/Steve/Mitch. And to upstate NY with Pete and Diana. I wonder if upstate was as expensive lol  AW in 1982 has always fascinated me, because of how messy it was 
    • That makes sense. What a messy time for the show. And any changes they made were mostly for the worse.
    • The transition from Neal to Adam was very abrupt, and to be honest my theory is that the character of Neal was designed so that we think he is super shady but then it turns out that he was on the side of good all along so Neal could have seamlessly become a hero of the BCPD with no need for Adam. I don't know whether Robert Lupone was hired on a short contract or if he was fired from a longer-term contract because they decided they wanted someone who was more of a leading man type, but I can imagine a scenario where Charles Grant did both the undercover Egyptian treasure/flirt with Victoria and the straighter-arrow day to day police investigation. But in my imagined scenario the MJ prostitution plotline probably doesn't exist and instead he probably continues a relationship with Victoria. The story seems very odd to me. I assume that David Canary would have been included only because a plotline where Steve is going to Finland in which only Rachel is seen in actual Finland seems unlikely. The synopses explicitly mention that Alice can't go with Steve but would whoever was playing Alice at that time have had the kind of clout to get the remote cancelled? It also strikes me as unlikely that production would have approved the expensive location shoot and *then* cancelled it only because of jealousy. It seems more likely that they rejected it because of the expense but then the jealousy part got added to the gossip speculatively, possibly because while it was being worked out they justified not including more castmembers because of the expense.
