OMG, I just saw the two girls slap each other and throw down. What a great scene. I LOL'd at Rama earlier when Cutter told them to get out and she said "Surely, you dont mean me"

So Ford actually did show up. I thought that was a figment of Tess' crazy mind at first

Actress playing Destiny is actually doing good with her scenes. This is her best work yet. Very believable

Why is Austen Peck's character still around?

I dont want Jessica back either

I see zero chemistry between them. It doesn't help that they are both drowning in such lousy material.

His secret is that he has no ass. Wait, that's not a secret...

Cookie Cutter's general smarm, overplayed "oh he's so nasty but that's so REAL" garbage, and anti-chemistry with every cast member makes him like a half-dozen other men already clogging up the show. It's a shame that this sleazy cipher, along with the various whores who shriek around him, are going to be our stars in the show's last months.

Very missed--it's those kinds of details that seem lacking from OLTL lately that would make some of the wackier plots more digestible I think.

For the record I think many gay men love catfights between two women jjust as much as many straight guys would--but for quite different reasons ;)

I thought Ford showing up was a figment too. It's nice to see St Anne's has especially tough security, and security cams, etc, in their intense lockdown section, or that unfastening a straight jacket is just like unhooking a bras!

Agreed on Destiny.

And as for Peck--do they just think he's entertaining cuz he's for some reason hanging out in Llanview till he finds a porn star (which you know is exactly how making porn--especially when you have apparently a background in LA doing it and a few films under your belt--is done)? He shows up for a scene and has a random interaction, it goes nowhere, I think he's gone and then just as I've forgotten completely about him, he's back again. Deana made it pretty clear she had no real interest in porn, but now, already, she might be tempted again? Wha?

the show is beginning to feel like an onion, you can sense the more superfluous characters beginning to get peeled off. Viki is the kernel, the only endgame I care about. I can barely mourn the loss of my Dorian, she's been "gone" for so long.

I haven't really missed Nigel. I think he worked well with Asa, but Clint isn't Asa and there is no one for Nigel to play off of anymore. It's just the actor pulling faces. I think the stuff with Nigel and Kim could have been interesting if she'd stayed but it wouldn't work with ciphers like Aubrey and Rama. I also think he and Renee were both compromised as characters in that stupid "David is evil, he tried to kill Renee when he was a baby!!!" storyline. Years of David as the great evil...undone for a ha ha reveal about Bo as David's father.

I miss Renee more than Nigel. She should be there for Viki, for Gigi (I don't remember if they were close but she would like Gigi), to deliver some lectures to Aubrey, etc. Since they are losing so many actors early I hope that means they have a few pennies free and can bring Pat Elliott back.

Oh I miss Renee too--I think I meant more the missed opportunity--the fact that Nigel hasn't made ANY comment about this, when he's meant to be watching over Clint for Asa, bla bla is more what I find missing than the character himself who I'm no huge fan one way or the other of.

The way this show has gone I don't just think female guards. Lately in fact he seems to instantly win over nearly everyone--even Vicki seems to now consider him slightly tenderly...

Really? I dunno--with more focus still on the Fords and now Matthew gone, I get the feeling some of the wrong characters are being peeled off. Again.

It's a messy situation - many good characters are going or gone, and those who are still there have been sidelined or degraded beyond belief. I can't think of any important characters who haven't been heavily compromised, aside from Nora (who has a little more to do lately but not much) and Viki, if you can ignore her Ford support.

I guess I'd miss him more if I thought there was the family dynamics the Buchanans once had, but if he is there just to cluck over Clint's failings, they already have characters for that.

I agree...things are very fluid right now with some things that are about to happen....while other characters (contract, recurring, dayplayer) continue to get the shaft at the moment (Cristian, Shaun, Theo, Renee, Nigel, Addie, Carlotta, Roxy, etc...). It's a really hot mess....
