June 18, 201114 yr Member I'm glad Aubrey didn't let Jessica be alone with her kids, considering everything Jessica has done to her own family and to her life in general as Tess/Bess/Wes. And of course everything with Ford and Cutter, the pigs who raped her. But Terri Conn was really off today. I guess having scenes with Jessica (whose not even a plot device at this point) will do that to you. Jessica (Tess) and Cutter had sex? When?
June 18, 201114 yr Member I feel like Rama had greater potential than *we need to give Fumero something*, know what I mean? Definitely but I see it as Cristian being used to prop Rama to be honest
June 18, 201114 yr Member Definitely but I see it as Cristian being used to prop Rama to be honest IA. NOTHING about their scenes has been about Cris. Its all been about Rama and her drama. Its been more about, "we need to give Rama something to do" Edited June 18, 201114 yr by Cheap21
June 18, 201114 yr Member Cheap that avatar is the funniest thing i have ever seen. It is very much the current OLTL, so bad that its good.
June 18, 201114 yr Member For all of its contrivances as an organ donation s/l, I find it particularly heartbreaking. A definite *life is not fair* ring to it that I didn't really get when Stacy froze or Josh on AMC got shot for example. Like I expected a much happier ending for Rex and Shane, and they are both SO young to be losing Gigi at this point in their still new relationship. I agree! I especially feel bad for Shane knowing this his mother was all he had for most of his life.
June 18, 201114 yr Member with RH's zombie character's View Master memories. LOL! What the hell is THAT?! When TSJ's Todd was being executed five years ago, his life flashed before his eyes, and he had *live* recollections of things that had happened pre-face change…not slideshows. TSJ is Todd; Howarth's character is a plant to cause chaos.

June 18, 201114 yr Member I really appreciate Roxy's presence in this. I've loved seeing Roxy for the past few weeks; it reminds you how great she is. I have so far, officially been zapped out of any emotional pull within these death stories - they are just too much. That, and they're rushed along quicker than a speeding bullet. I have yet to see Friday's show, so maybe I'll feel something with the Gigi story, even though I've never really been a fan.

Maybe Roger is the imposter but I can't help but think there will be some absurd layers to this that will eventually result in Roger playing Todd.
June 18, 201114 yr Member But at the same time, don't you think that's what they WANT you to think? Maybe Roger is the imposter but I can't help but think there will be some absurd layers to this that will eventually result in Roger playing Todd. No, I think they would generally want me to think that Roger is back to reclaim the role of Todd, because that's just the most obvious assumption to make. Them showing slides when RH flashes back to old TnB memories, instead of actual video footage, seems like their covert way of trying to see if the more discriminating viewers are smart enough to ask questions, wonder why, and consider an alternate possibility to the obvious one…but if RH *is* back to play Todd, then there would be no need to play such games. Even if they wanted to draw out the mystery of "WHO is the TRUE Todd," while still having every intention of making it ultimately be Howarth, they could forsake all flashbacks and just have folks look at old pictures instead of envisioning them. What they're doing here is very unorthodox; I can't recall a time when an actor returned to a soap, and for nostalgia they used a series of slides in place of the video footage that exists. Something is up. Then there's TSJ's blatant comments to the press about how he can't imagine RH being brought back to play any other character but Todd. Why would he do that? If RH is gonna be Todd, and he knew it, it would make more sense for him to be vague about what's gonna happen, instead of practically endorsing an obvious outcome. I recall when TSJ joined the cast, him giving an interview negating the rumor of Walker being Todd, where he listed 'practical' reasons why (different voice, height) it wouldn't be so. Then there was that bogus interview he gave during Todd's execution s/l when the show supposedly let him go, and how he said he was shocked because he assumed they were happy with the way he played Todd -- only for it to be announced that his contract had been renewed like a week later, in a great big "GOTCHA" to viewers (after everyone was worked into a frenzy about his alleged leaving.) Him endorsing the likelihood of Howarth being revealed to be Todd seems like another Valentini scheme he went along with to f**k with viewers minds, and throw everyone off course. We'll see…but I'm not nearly as upset about Howarth's return as I was when it was announced.
June 18, 201114 yr Member The "photo" flashback was the lamest thing I've ever seen. Get some actual footage, OLTL.
June 19, 201114 yr Member I wonder if OLTL can no longer afford flashbacks of the older material. Or have they had some recently? Edited June 19, 201114 yr by CarlD2
June 19, 201114 yr Member I wonder if OLTL can no longer afford flashbacks of the older material. Or have they had some recently? Its not an issue of money. They dont have to pay for flashbacks as they own their footage. This clearly came across as a deliberate attempt to either fool the audience or lay the seeds that this isnt Todd.
June 19, 201114 yr Member What's the point of the bullying story if Brad is going to take all the blame?
June 19, 201114 yr Member I think the photos are a deliberate red herring to suggest he may not be Todd. I'm not convinced, however.
