OLTL: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 Discussion Thread

looks like there were some scenes cut from yesterday's episode, particularly scenes with Jack

Chris Lucente agreed. and u should have. at the very least more of him yesterday explaining his visit. it was there on the pages.

Chris Lucente supposed to be hotel clerk

Chris Lucente yes -- very odd with the editing -- there was a scene of jack with the hotel clerk prior - not sure what happened

[Winchester91]

Hmm...wonder why they cut it.

[cassadine1991]

I don't know, they should've kept it in. Now knowing that they shot that scene, I don't get it

[Winchester91]

Now, I wonder how much we're missing. We seem to have scenes where people refer to events that happened off-screen...as well as random folks popping in throughout the episode. I guess this explains it somewhat.

[cassadine1991]

I am guessing some scenes go over the allotted time so they have to get cut, would love if one of the More OLTL's show deleted scenes

[Winchester91]

My biggest gripe with the episode was that David and StepNora's scenes did nothing to advance any story. I'd have cut it for more Viki and the Banner/shady financial dealings...and especially more Natalie.

[cassadine1991]

i know.. i hate the possibility that due to them losing Michael Easton (I'm not even sure if he made a inking he was talking to PP, I think they were, maybe he didn't want to), this is why Natalie isn't featured as much, hope that's not the case

[Winchester91]

From what I saw during the writing stages of the show...they anticipated having Easton around as John. I hope the absence of RH when he heads for the West Coast won't mean Blair/Jack/Sam would have nothing to do. Maybe Blair and Jack will get pulled into the Shady Shelter story w/ Cutter while waiting for Vic Jr. to come back/RH to head back to the East Coast to tape?

[John]

RH isnt leaving OLTL. he is doing both OLTL and GH

[Winchester91]

I know that, but I want a storyline for Blair and Jack while Todd is off in Port Charles walking around being blond.

[John]

Just asked More OLTL If they could include deleted scenes on their Friday shows

[cassadine1991]

that would be awesome

[CBRVA83]

I don't think it was necessary to include the brief Blair/Cutter scene since it didn't fit in with the episode. It was weird to have that scene pop up in the middle of today's episode!

[Winchester91]

It's setting up some story where Cutter prolly gets into some underhanded business behind Blair's back. This is Cutter Wentworth after all.

[CBRVA83]

There was no mention (or anything alluded) of any of the backhanded business and drug trafficking involving Cutter from what I heard today in Blair and Cutter's brief conversation at Shelter. Blair just griped about Cutter selling a $1,000 bottle of wine to a customer in the VIP room during yesterday's episode, which was pretty inconsistently written, because also during yesterday's episode, Blair was very proud of Cutter selling that expensive wine to that rich customer in the club.
