I've watched OLTL on and off since around 1979. My last "break" from it came during the insanity of the Mitch Laurence/Victor Lord resurrections. That turned me off, literally. I returned to it to see Jerry ver Dorn come on board and found that I was enjoying a good part of the show. Granted, sometimes things seem to drag on and there are still some characters and stories I don't like or don't care about but there are others that I'm enjoying. It's definitely better now than when I left that Laurence/Lord nonsense.

My alltime favorite OLTL character was probably Clint Ritchie's Clint. I loved Clint & Viki during their heyday. I think Jerry is doing a great job, though. Also loved David & Jenny, Gabrielle.

It goes without saying that OLTL is my favorite soap of all time.

For brief periods, I have watched and enjoyed ATWT, Y&R, GH, and DAYS, but I have NEVER liked any soap opera to the extent that I love OLTL ... I have been a hardcore fan since 1988.

They have the best cast in daytime, bar none.

My all time favorites are Joey (Nathan Fillion especially, but Don Jeffocat was alright), Cassie, Gabrielle, Tina (all three, but especially Andrea Evans and Karen Witter), Max, Cord, Marty, Todd, Dorian, Evangeline, Nora, Nash, Jessica, and especially Blair Cramer and Victoria Lord Davidson!!!

My favorite actresses of all time on this show are Kassie Depaiva and Erika Slezak.

I am outraged that Kevin and Kelly have been backburnered, though!

Even though OLTL should have more nominations, I will suffer through tomorrow night's Emmys to cheer on REG and the writing team (I was a big fan of the writing LAST YEAR). As soon as those two awards are done, I'll be tuning out before GH wins yet another undeserved trophy.

Allow me to join in on all the One Life love!

In the past year or so, we've had so much great drama including:

*The Daniel Colson Saga

*The Killing Club Murders

*Margaret's reign of terror

*Jessica's DID

*David and Paige's shocking secret

*Great couples like Rex/Adrianna, Tess/Nash, Kevin/Kelly, Todd/Blair, David/Dorian

    • 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.
