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. .

    • That was such a missed opportunity, especially with May sweeps.  And, it would’ve been a much better story for Naomi/Jacob than whatever’s going on with June 
    • https://www.hulu.com/hub/tv/collections/9979 Amazed! But loving it. What this shows is GH Hulu out of top 15, GH is #2 & this was Saturday. Are we happy campers? Yes, at least for the moment, you bet we are.
    • I forget his name but Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth had the EP on after they didn't understand the 60s flashback episode due to the lack of original music. He felt that was one of his strongest episodes so he came on to explain to them just how much the music changes hurt the series. Basically, they only allowed him to pick a selection of episodes he felt the music was vital and other than that they didn't bother to save the music.  They kept music for prom and things like the Color Me Badd episode and for most of the musical acts but any music you loved from the opening of the show or just music played in random scenes was cut.  I know there are also some scenes cut but I don't know too much about that. The most glaring one was Clare's final scene being cut which is obviously a huge problem for a character who'd been around for so long. Overall I was able to enjoy my rewatch using the DVDs but without all of the original music it isn't nearly as good a show.
    • Too many returns, that's when you know a show has run out of ideas and doesn't care anymore.  Zoe annoyed the sh!t out of me most times, but the Kat/Zoe storyline will always be iconic and close to my heart (that's the era I first started following the show in near real-time), and probably the only storyline in 21st century EastEnders that had long-term value for the characters involved during their initial run together. However, after all this time and the writing choice that Zoe never wants to see Kat again, I think that ship has sailed and I don't know that it makes sense to revisit it at this point. 
    • Former EastEnders star Michelle Ryan is reprising her role as Zoe Slater on the BBC soap following an absence of over 20 years.  It’s been reported that Zoe will return to Albert Square later this year and that she’ll take centre stage in a dramatic new storyline involving her family.  The news comes amidst news of other big returns, which include Max Branning (Jake Wood), Tanya Cross (Jo Joyner), Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) and Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden), who will also be back in Walford later in the year.
    • I actually love the new fashion.
    • Admittedly, I was a latecomer to ATWT (first becoming a regular viewer in 2000). But I really liked KMH's Emily. I thought she was a very specific kind of neurotic professional character, and I loved her prickly relationship with MM's Susan. I will say I don't think the show did her any favors after Hal died, stranding her in storylines with several of the show's dullest characters: nu-Paul, nu-Meg, and nu-Dusty. I actually quite liked one of her last major storylines, when she discovered she had a grown-up biological son with Larry named Hunter. But then Hunter just sort of disappeared, and the story fizzled out, which was pretty typical of the late Goutman years. 
    • I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.
    • Well, her staff pointing out the movie connection never seemed to stop Long from using those plots.  She was right about Vanessa--she needed a man who loved her, which she'd never really had up to then. But as others have pointed out, Long borrowed heavily from Taming of the Shrew to get it done. (which while I kinda disputed that, I get more now, having watched Kiss Me Kate a few times since.)
    • "Holly had her share of the blame..." NO, she did NOT. WOW. That's what you get for trying to be fair and giving these people the benefit of the doubt! The Rita rape episodes do not seem to be available. It sounds like Calhoun thought it was not dramatized, but it was. I saw it when it aired. Yes, it's close to 50 years ago, and memories aren't 100% reliable. I also know that Zaslow reportedly complained that it was written too much like a seduction and that's why the Dobsons portrayed Holly's rape differently. Maybe it started like a seduction and she rejected him and that's when it turned violent. I don't remember that part, if it exists. What I do remember is that Roger threw Rita so violently to the floor that she hit her head. They showed him coming at her from her point of view and he looked all fuzzy. It was an act of violence, not a seduction. Rita kept it a secret until it looked like Roger might be acquited, and then finally admitted it. She didn't make it up, it definitely was not a ploy.
