The tattoo went right over my head

It's literally become too painful to watch Maurice. I had to stop watching the Geary tribute episode because it was so uncomfortable watching him in those scenes with Jane Elliot and Alexa Havins. Needless to say, I never watch the bits with him and DA Sidwell's Wife. Unless the dog is involved.

OMG, you know me!

-- I'm tired of Sonny, too, but Maurice Benard is going nowhere. He doesn't want to leave and this show will never get rid of him. It's not happening.

-- Isaiah should RUN from Portia.

-- This storyline with Curtis gifting Portia the house is maddening. She's a frickin doctor. She can't afford to buy him out? She never thought of doing that to stay in this glorious house she loves so much (and that the show pretends has been around for 50 years)? And is Curtis so flush with money that he can afford to sign over the house to her?

-- This baby stuff....Grey's Anatomy it ain't. It was fun seeing Lucas wave around those paddles like he was performing in a drag show.

-- Brook Lynn's reaction to Delilah was so overdone and out of control.

I just know naming her Delilah is somehow another OLTL riff for Frank and I'm waiting for him to make it explicit somehow. Woof.

Speaking of: @titan1978 I'm with you on Florencia Lozano at this point and bringing on Téa though most of the audience would stone us. Anything is better than Sidwell's Wife, and Téa has zero compunction about being with criminals so it would not be remotely the same story. But I think Maurice is far too lethargic to keep up with FL now, for all the IRL reasons everyone has mentioned. I think only people he knows and trusts who also have real fire like Vanessa or Lynn Herring (who surprisingly perked him up a couple weeks ago) can get him going. If this was the '70s or something and we were dealing with AW and Somerset or whatever though, inspired choice!

God I would love to have FL come on as Tea and it would honestly make me actually tolerate Sonny, though I like imagining she’s still with Victor Jr.

Nice double cliffhanger for a Wednesday.

We all know that loon is in the maximum security straitjacket ward in St. Anne's!

(If OLTL were around I'd still have Victor do the occasional short arc and break out from time to time as a multiple personality wacko because in the end that's truly what he was, but that would likely be it for the rapist twins in this day and age.)

I can’t remember where he disappeared off to on the PP OLTL.

He skipped town trying to save Tea and their loved ones from the Triskelion tattoo people and their conspiracy (another tattoo!). Later Ron Raines' evil ringleader revealed his sister (Alison Perkins) had recaptured him and suggested Todd was also walking into the same trap.

A lot of people never saw OLTL 2.0 so my headcanon has always been to simply explain away that story in a couple lines of dialogue: Todd died (or 'died' if you ever bring the character out of mothballs someday) saving the family from some bad guys (the tattoo cartel), and Victor is now locked up in the bughouse because his years of mental illness, brainwashing and multiple identities have simply left him unfit for the real world.

Totally forgot he got recaptured. I really loved PP OLTL. Genuinely felt like a modernization of soaps.
