Ugh! It seems as though there is so much OLTL bashing on message boards and it's getting on my last nerve (I'm not just talking about this one...since compared to others, it doesn't have that much). This is a thread for people who currently LOVE the show to gather and express their love!

I LOVE OLTL!!!!!1

You're very welcome :). It should've been nominated this year for all of the Daniel Colson, DID, and Margaret/Spencer/Todd/Blair stuff. Even if it didn't win, we'd still get to see a cool music video of everything that happened this year lol.

I like some of the stories right now and then there are some other stories that I can do with out . That goes for every all the programs I watch. What I don't like is the way other posters on other messaage board looking down their noses at who ever says they like the show or a story line on the show. I have stopped going to many message board because of that attitude.

OLTL is my one and only soap mainly because I love Erika Slezak.

The DID story is really good now thanks to Viki and Clint being a part of it, but especially Viki, it should have always been about Viki and Jessica/Tess, the mother daughter aspect since they both share the same mental illness. I also want Clint and Viki to be a couple again. Viki is the only lady in Llanview that has not been with a partner for years, that sucks. Viki deserves to be happy and in love too! :) And I think Viki and Clint are just a perfect match. Loved yesterday with Viki and Tess, so powerful, emotional, loved it!

Oooh, I love this thread.

I've watched OLTL for twenty eight years, and never stopped. Heck, I don't think I could no matter how bad it got. Well, I have to take that back, I think if Erika ever left the show, I'd stop watching eventually because she is the reason that got me started all those years ago and she is what keeps me coming back day after day. Even when she's not on...LOL.

And I don't have anything to compare it to, because One Life is the only soap I watch. But I LOVE my One Life.

I don't think we have to worry about Erika leaving ANY time soon. I think one of the best episodes ever of One Life was last year's Valentines Day. We got to see nearly everyone.

* Margaret rapes Todd

* Vikki visits Ben's memorial on the anniversary of his death.

* Antonio visits Cris in jail

* Roxy tries to push Natalie in between John and Evangeline

* Michael tells MArcie that he loves her while she's in the hospital

* Lindsay and RJ hook up

...I could watch it over and over again.

psychofan you post over at soc right? If so I see how you try to make some of those folks see that the show is not as bad as they all !@#$%^&*] about. Today was ugly over there. I understand that everyone has opinions but after a while I feel like some will never be happy. I don't understand why people watch, if they hate so many of the stories.

Last year (and this yr. too) I loved Margaret. She delivered some of the best performances of the show, IMO. I love all the twist and turns in the Spencer, Margaret, TJ, Blair, Todd, Kevin, Kelly, Hugh, Asa, Renee, Bo, Paige, Michael and John story. This is not only a Spencer story, it involves so many of the cast. Also I feel that there are going to be some great stuff For Viki, Clint and Dorian. I'm digging Nash and Tess. The cast is doing a great job with their characters. I'm pretty happy with the show right now. .

    • Of the so-called "contract" cast members, I'd venture to say these are recurring: Bryton James, Camryn Grimes, and (possibly) Michael Graziadei.  I've suspected since 2018 that Kate Linder and Christian LeBlanc are recurring.  And I believe we all know Miss Ordway is, because she said so. lol.  
    • Dante blaming Gio instead of his dweeb son and the other dweeb was just ridiculous. Gio's paternity story is going in circles with no reveal. I've already started fast forwarding Drew and his stupid ho Willow's story. Kristina's story is beyond dumb with no great payoff.
    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.
