OLTL: Discussion for the week of September 12th

[AlexElizabeth]

They need to stop giving him lines. He's good until he opens his mouth. AT needs to be a silent actor.

I quoted the wrong post and it won't let me edit. Whatever, lol.

Jack and Jessica. Weird lol.

[alexisfan07]

LMAO Blair making a lesbian joke

[alexisfan07]

They should've busted out Andrew for the funeral

[Eyespy]

Someone cut AT's hair. Start at the neck.......

[Eyespy]

No need to spoiler, someone is always dying.

Im glad we finally get to see Viki again. She seemed to dissappear after the Irene and hasnt been utilized nearly enough in this story as she should have been. She's only had a handful of episodes since and its good to see her back in the middle of things. Im glad we got to see her interact with Clint bc its been boggling why he's with everyone in that house but her

[dragonflies]

I find it hilarous that the boy who plays Sam acts circles around AT. AT always looks like he's got to take a dump or something

[alexisfan07]

Wait so...I'm confused. That looks like Jack to me. I mean, is Tea actually gonna interact with TSJ?

[dragonflies]

Wow the santicification of Victor is nauseating. When was he ever tender & loving with "his children" When he was verbally or emotionally abusing them or just shoving them around? :rolleyes

[Cheap21]

I know you dont want to acknowledge it but (SHOCKER!) TSJTodd did love his kids and did have plenty of tender moments with them throughout his run

BRAVO, Cheap21!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd add the scene on the Sun roof when he takes Dani there to watch the stars to comfort her after Téa leaves for the hospice.It's that kind of tender support Dani just recalled onscreen to her mom.

I'd add TSJ's Todd saving Starr from the Russian mobsters and how she was sobbing over the beating he took for her...and he said she was worth more than his life.

Anyhoo, I see far more whitewashing of RH's Todd into some sainted father who would never hurt his kids. I think both men need to be called on their ISH.

Viki's eulogy was bland and frankly disappointing as we had no flashbacks, no real emotion from ES there. All the flashbacks YOU just noted would have packed a great emotional punch and served as reminders of his tender side.

But someone sure is in a rush to put TSJ's Todd in a grave and close that chapter. It's a stupid decision because too many fans aren't buying this rewrite.

[MichaelGL]

I feel the exact same way. Why plaster TSJ's picture all over the place, use his voice in that voicemail Shaun received, yet don't use any flashbacks? Flashbacks would have helped put an emotional punch on that otherwise bland eulogy.

[dragonflies]

LOL Cheap, it was very few and very far between, not enough to justify them trying to make Victor a saint. Once Dani came into his life he didn't give two craps about Starr, Jack or Sam.

[TeamEric]

RC always missed too many emotional beats.

This show will over-use a flashback from last week over showing relevant ones from the last 8 years.

[TeamEric]

You asked "When was he ever tender & loving with "his children""

Cheap21 just posted a few examples for you. There are many more.

And TSJ's Todd risked his life to save Starr before AND after Dani came into his life. I can post links to the warehouse scenes where he leaves a hurt Dani behind to risk his life to rescue Starr.

TSJ's Todd only neglected the boys AFTER Téa became ill. In fact, after being awarded shared custody in 2009 TSJ's Todd had far more scenes with Jack than Blair did. Sam is the one that NEITHER parent ever pays enough attention to as Addie been raising him.

Anyhoo, Blair has officially become Carly... thegoodandstrongandloveswithallheart... RME.
