You said it, sister (or brother), which is why Todd's exit from this from this show (and back on OLTL with Blair) can't happen fast enough for me.

Such a shame that yet another great male character was watered down to accommodate that Slagbeast's unjustifiable existence instead of going down the obvious route of tossing her ratchet ass out on the curb.

LOL brother. Todd and Blair aren't my favorite supercouple but I like them and I respect their history and I'm just over Ron's ratchet writing. You know Ron is all about spite and the fact that Howarth is leaving, even temporarily, eats him alive. He's such an annoying, immature manchild. I can't describe how much I loathe him.

I remember an interview with him from a few months ago (I think with SoapCentral), Ron basically said John and Natalie and Todd and Blair were the ultimate endgame. Notice that the second he heard OLTL was coming back, he changed his tune and is going out of his way to make his couples work, completely disrespecting OLTL's history and fans. He's such a [!@#$%^&*] !@#$%^&*]. It's always, and only, about him.

Ron never gave a crap about Blair when he was at OLTL and he doesn't now. No matter what he claimed I don't believe he ever saw them as endgame. Todd is a hot piece of ass in Ronland, with a dash of everyone's favorite kooky uncle. He will never be anything more. Since Carly is basically the lead female on GH (or was), Todd was paired with her.

Great character? GMAFB! Had it not been for Ron's resurrection of the black hole known as Todd Manning, he would have been long gone and forgotten when that chit, OLTL, died! Carly gives that clown new life!

And you wonder why you never make any lists wink.png

Amen! Only GH would have been the supporting player to OLTL 2.0. Todd and Starr were eating the show alive at one point and I believe their recent airtime was only reduced because of PP and the need to "showcase" the vets until they are all unceremoniously dumped in the coming months!

    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
    • I just watched some parts of an episode of GL where Roger has just been shot by Holly. Rita then admits to Hillary that Roger raped her. Kasdorf is such a fantastic actress. I wish there were more of her work available. 
    • -- Alex Alegria has almost a full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a large tatt on one pec. I see no indication that the show is covering up his ink,
    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Oh, yeah, and she even tried to seduce Alan, but this was his post-prison era when he was trying to prove to everyone he had changed. It's funny that of all people he didn't go for it. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
    • You're right. People like me who stuck with her, did so because of her history. The show just skated her along with no story,  no goal, no aim. Right again! This is who I forgot before. When you describe her, it makes me appreciate her more. Thinking back I loved Mandy.
