RH/Todd sounded like he was reading from a Dr. Seuss book. LOL

I have a daughter

Her name is Starr

It's not fair

I had a wife

And her name was Blair

I also had another wife

And her name was Teá

Someone release me

And let me out of hay'uh

'Cause I am Todd

ROFL! :lol: I'm convinced Todd was faking insanity to attract attention/distract the guards.

Yes Darren and Destiny are no longer together. He tried to force her to make up with her grandparents and that caused the end of their dating.

Re: that Rama spoiler, I thought that had been established from the beginning. Or at least that's the impression I got

with all of her talk about her fathers expectations for Vimal being gifted a with a prize like his daughter who probably wouldn't give a geek like him the time of day in normal circumstances.

It was, but one thing that was endearing about her was she clearly loved him despite this--maybe she grew to love him, which often happens. This new development, ONCE AGAIN under Carlivati's last little while, goes right against character. Argh!

I actually thought RH was very good in those scenes. Peculiar, strange, but good - in the way he used to be at his best, when he tried. He actually tried quite a lot in his last months at OLTL, when Malone came back, though ironically he also was rumored to have left because of Malone's return. He is not Laurence Olivier, but he is a fine actor, albeit perhaps limited, when he tries.

Speaking of Todds, I loved Marty terrorizing TSJ's with a gun and calling him "Toddy," and they did have that sick chemistry. While I wouldn't condone it, it almost makes me wonder if RC would've gone for pairing his fauxTodd with Marty had the show continued, since TSJ would technically no longer be her rapist (except he totally did rape Marty the second time). I don't think he'd have been able to resist.

I don't much like RH--or at least haven't since around 1995, but I totally agree with you. He made what was a pretty lame scene much more interesting.

I dunno though--it seemed like RC was doing his "let's make a character suddenly psycho and write them off that way" (mind you I've kept pretty clueless of spoilers so have no idea if Marty is leaving) thing with Marty already before the cancelation.

Agreed, you could clearly see her genuine affection for Vimal and I don't like her duping him as they functioned so well as a team.

I wonder if KDP specifically asked them not to shoot her butt. The camera would quickly cut to another shot whenever she was about to turn around.

This seemed like the only time in years OLTL has shown more female T&A than male in a scene...

I guess I'm no better than a Ford or StarrJam fan or whatever as far as unpopular (?) opinions go, but I really like Dani. :blush::ph34r: I think she's cute ("Aw, I'm your bff?" I know, I know! :lol: and to Deanna, "No job yet?"). KM is funny and charismatic sort of like how SMG was at her age. I think she has the potential to be great someday with the proper training.

I think SMG showed more potential, but she had so much more, and better material to play. (And as great as she was, I admit SMG was pretty green in some of her work).

I like Dani a lot too. When she yells itcan be a bit much, but I think the only reason the character holds any real interest is due to the actress. One of the few really talented younger actors on the show.

Agreed, you could clearly see her genuine affection for Vimal and I don't like her duping him as they functioned so well as a team.

It's beyond lazy, writing wise, and just shows my biggest prob with RC--more than his love for newbies. How are soap fans meant to be invested when characterization turns so sharply on a dime--and without even the most pathetic McTavish-esque attempt at explaining it?

Yes Darren and Destiny are no longer together. He tried to force her to make up with her grandparents and that caused the end of their dating.

...oh... I thought there'd be more to it than that. Not that I was a big fan by any means but. :blink: and you miss it I guess. (Is she living with Sean now? Or where?? Does she visit her real dad in jail? Does she care? Has she even said anything about him in a while?)

Right, and it seemed like Rama would never take advantage of the more scatter brained qualities of Vimal to quite this extent. I think she is spoiled and avaricious but I'm with you as far as these latest character turns go.

  • Member

1. Is she living with Sean now? Or where??

2.Does she visit her real dad in jail? Does she care?

3.Has she even said anything about him in a while?)

Not sure.

Not that we know of, i.e., NO.

NO.

Excellent questions for you One Life.

You say that you are spoiler-free but are you also casting spoiler-free?

  • Member

No--and anyway with One Life I seem to find out the spoilers despite myself (I have miraculously remained truly spoiler free with AMC something i've set as my goal until the bitter end now).

The thing re Destiny is I don't particularly care about any of those questions and answers--yet, if they want us to care about Destiny--and they seem to, and I could, despite so so, but improved, acting talent she has kinda grown on me--they need to invest in this stuff. That's what daytime dramas do that primetime largely can't--answer questions like that.

Yeah, I was just wondering if you saw that LaChanze has been cast. It is assumed that her character will be involved with Deanna and/or Destiny. Speaking of Destiny, they just showed Tuesday's preview of her breaking down over Matthew like he was in the casket.

OH LAWD MATTHEW GONE!
