OLTL: Discussion for the week of September 26

[Mr. Vixen]

I don't know how Todd got it, but he had it. I can't remember how, though.

We all know the microchip wasn't in that ring. I'ts probably sewed into Tina's favorite bra or something equally ridiculous.

[alexisfan07]

Todd took it out, that's all. I don't get why he would throw it into the river though, even as a fake-out, when Irene was holding a gun on him...

[TeamEric]

Tea got it when TSJTodd personal papers and effects from the Sun office was dropped off. She had that box on the bed and the dog took it.

Marty gave TSJTodd the paternity test results and elicited a promise he'd tell John.

[alexisfan07]

Still don't get what Todd was trying to accomplish by throwing it in the river

David Fumero is still on contract. I bet they were going to write him and Jessica off together but that all changed with rewrites and he got a hasty exit instead.

[Cheap21]

Im so confused now. Didnt Marty tell him? I recall Todd saing he could use that as leverage against John when John initiallytook him in following what happened with Marty. If Vimal did tell him, he already knew via Marty

[TeamEric]

Starr's smug, entitled attitude isn't coming off much different than Jack's right now. The apples did not fall far from the T&B rotted tree.

It's tough for me to even tell if we're supposed to see Rex as neglecting Shane. After all Rex is trying to find his true love, and so much of Shane's story has never been about Shane. The main thing with Shane is to make us feel sorry for Jack.

So now they've rewritten another story they wrote (the one about Tess threatening to kill Sarah). Is that because they don't want people to remember Tess as being that nasty, or they don't want people to see Tina in anything but a selfish light, or do they just not remember anything they write?

Marty gave Victor the paternity results before she got on the plane and made him promise to tell John (proof she was really really crazy). Victor told Vimal the truth one night when they were both drunk at Capricorn. Victor also told Jack. The paternity test was among a box of Victor's things from his office that were sent over for Tea to go through. David Vickers found the paternity test results on the bed and proceeded to chew (and gawd knows what else considering the pup's bladder control issues) on them. I think Tina made some kind of reference to the paper when she was talking to DV in her purse -- telling him not to tear it up. Jack Got DV out of the carrier/purse and let her outside, Tina picked up the purse thinking DV was in there but the test was. And there you have it. The paternity test is the new bag of blood.

[TeamEric]

I really don't see Shane being used to make viewers feel bad for Jack. That flashback was about poor Shane driven to desperation and violence by hatred of a bully who got away with killing his mom. Shane isn't a psycho out to hurt innocents. He wants justice, was denied and now seeks revenge. Shane's actions are even more mitigated by scenes of Rex neglecting him... the heart strings are tugged FOR SHANE not Jack.

JMO.

[DRW50]

You may be right. I'm just jaded because the Matthew story went along the same lines - if you're bullied you become a horrible person.

[OLTL_fan]

So happy that the dog warned them about the bomb just in time!!

Cord & Tina!!!

deadline.com is confirming that Ron Carlivati is staying as head writer and that Kelly Missal, Andrew Trischitta and Jerry Ver Dorn are going to be on the PP version of the show.

[Mr. Vixen]

If Robin Christopher ever comes back to GH full-time, I want Kelly Missal to play an aged Lila Rae.

[DRW50]

Based on all the random yelling she does, she'd be more believable as one of Sonny's kids.

[Cheap21]

she's way too old to play Lila Rae and really they shouldnt SORAS her that dramatically
