OLTL: Discussion for the week of June 13

LOL! It's just the way they are written. All of them come across as being heartless!! I would never want to encounter a doctor like any of them, always assuming the worst and acting all agitated with someone who is clearly grieving and looking for a sign that things will be ok. Even if things aren't ok you shouldn't be mean about it, show some sensitivity!! Matthew's doctor has no patience and looked like she wanted to kill Nora or something whenever she would get angry over Matthew's condition.

I forget, does Natalie remember that Brody is not Liam's kid? What does she remember at this point?

And I know she's a lawyer, but WTF to Tea today. She KNOWS Jack's guilty as sin. I mean, I could see trying to get him a lower sentence, I personally wouldn't condone him going to jail, but "innocent until proven guilty" doesn't translate into "let's pretend we're innocent until we can manipulate the law to agree with us."

I don't mind that Rama is having feelings for Cris after being forced into a loveless (sexually, anyway) marriage with Vimal. It makes sense, I like the culture aspect of it, and I'm glad she is at least telling herself she can't kiss him again. What ISN'T working for me is that she's putting all the blame on Cris, not coming forward with the truth (about multiple things), manipulating everyone around her, and Cris is being thrown under the bus for the pairing. It's like the show doesn't know how to not take it TOO far. I'm with Rama...to a point, a point that the show has crossed.

I was going to do a thread on this but decided no one would want to read it anyway, but...when did the soaps become so crass about organ donation? It's been getting worse and worse and worse over the last 10 years. It's a shame because OLTL had different types of organ donation stories, some better than others, until this occasion when they apparently felt the need to do a "choose your own adventure" version of BJ's heart storyline.

I just hope no one out there watching soaps in the last decade has changed their mind about organ donation because of these stories.

No Natalie doesnt remember what she heard on the tape.

I dont see what Tea did was wrong. You are right, she IS a lawyer. Its her job to defend and protect her clients and the ultimate representation of that is to get them off, not go for a lower sentence. Theres a reason why she is one of the best defense lawyers in daytime. What was she supposed to do, act like he's guilty? She didnt know exactly what was up, so she needed to act a certain way until she could gather up all the facts. She didnt act much different yesterday than she does with most other cases

What I dont get about Rama is that she's a stupid bitch. She should have just told Vimal that she had a miscarriage or that she jumped the gun when she told him she was pregnant back when he was in jail. Her continuing to lie never made any sense. She knows how to lie, blackmail and work the system to manipulate other people's lives, but is clueless about how to handle her own

Jessica has no grounds to be mad. Upset..maybe but mad? No. How the heck can she expect Brody and Natalie to keep track of her status quo? The way she's yelling and getting mad, makes me think she's about to let Tess back to do her dirty work :rolleyes:

       about it I think Jan is a fine supporting part for a solid daytime vet (probably someone from the P&G soaps), as opposed to someone from the production location who is clearly cheaper. Which seems to govern some casting. I get the rationale, but I would start going through the ATWT/GL, etc. rolodex myself.
    • I dont mind Jan. She's good in the minor capacity she is used. 
    • tbqh I don't care about Jan, I don't care about Ashley and I think Jon Lindstrom as Joey is an acquired taste. Jon is a great actor but certain things are in his zone and then some are not. Some days I find Joey credible and compelling, but the stuff with him hanging around the Golden Corral, grumbling about Doug and bitching at Randy is not amazing. If he had material on par with what MVJ wrote for Ryan/Kevin on GH back in the day it'd be a different story. I do think he has real chemistry with Vanessa, which is in large part due to MVJ clearly molding that character (and hiring an appropriate actor) in the Lucy Coe vein when she reinvented Lucy in the '90s as well. But I am not here to spend 6+ months watching Jon glower a lot (which is what he's doing half the time to carry weak story) and make more vague dire pronouncements while Jen Jacob gets flustered and weepy over "Daddy" or whatever would come of that storyline. Putting them together sounds like a recipe for doom to me. But I may be in the minority on that.
    • I know this will never happen. But... Halle Berry as Dani Dupree(BTG). She would rock this role, it's in her wheelhouse.
    • When I see how bad the Ashley/Derek scenes are, I know there must be a larger purpose and Joey being her father is the thing that makes the most sense.  My take on it is that Ashley knows Joey is her father but doesn't know Joey. Maybe he was there when she was a child or just not around at all but I believe Jan when she says she didn't lie to her daughter about who her father was. Maybe she left him when she discovered his dangerous lifestyle.  I do think they could really jump start the character of Ashley if they hurry and do this. Jan is a great character and her scenes with Ashley have been helpful. This would further integrate Ashley into the canvas and give her something dramatic to do. With her working at the hospital along with Doug, it could lead to complications if she learns Doug is involved with her father. I just need is sooner rather than later because Derek is tanking her character. I need a distraction.

    • The stories are awful. I'm not enjoying any of them. All I'm left with is Sally in a plastic dress.
