OLTL Discussion

Surprise! I loved Monday's episode

feeds@yuku.com (tallk) — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 02:11:42 GMT

I know, I always complain, but today's show was great. Why? Three words: Viki, Dorian and Charlie. Those three are great characters protrayed by great actors.

Usually any scene between Viki and Dorian is a loud confrontation filled with insults. As fun as that is, today was much more effective in its understated performances. I could feel the tension between those two women, but there was so much more. RS was spot-on in her performance. We could feel Dorian wanting to...

more idiocy

I am off of work this week so I am watching OLTL. My latest thoughts.

Gigi - what in the blazes did you do to your hair? You are not 16 years old. Grow up. I cannot even stand to look at her. I used to tolerate Gigi, now I despise her and that ridiculous hairdo. If she had any integrity she would officially break up with Rex before she lets that Sky-guy nail her. Oh, she should also think of her son for a change.

Dorian, Dorian, Dorian, who stole your brain cells?...

Does anybody watch this show anymore?

I saw a couple of episodes this past week - what dreck.

Mitch not only comes back from the dead on a regular basis, but now he has superpowers as well - he knows where everybody is even though he is handcuffed to a bed with a guard at the door. He is now a cartoon character; I expect him to leap tall buildings in a single bound any time now. We might as well turn McBain into a vampire. Blair would make a good Catwoman and Todd could be Lex Luther. If the show is going to be a...

ATWT Cancelled

My mom emailed me this, with the subject line WORST NEWS and scared the crap out of me. ATWT was her soap, watched since she was in high school.

CBS cancels another daytime drama
Eds: APNewsNow. Will be led.
NEW YORK (AP) - CBS is canceling the soap opera "As the World Turns" after more than a half-century on the air.
CBS says the final episode will air next September, in its 54th year. Daytime dramas have been in a long-term ratings decline, and CBS ended...

Fun fact!

I took my boys to see Chicago at the theater this weekend and Bianca Marroquin, who played Yolanda, the court appointed social worker who was supposed to make sure Tommy (Sam) was placed in a healthy environment back in 2007, was playing Roxy Hart. She was awesome!

DO NOT tell me...

For the first time ever I turned off OL barely into the promos..For those that watched the whole episode are they saying that mitch DUG UP Nash and sat him there in the chair for jessica to see? When they showed that and jessica screaming I shut off my TIVO. I mean WTF??? There's shock, then morbid curiosity and then just flat out disgusting. Whoever in their right mind thought of this then they went ahead with it!!!! Good Lord. Beyond repulsive. Doesn't help either Nash was one of my...

One promising story!!

feeds@yuku.com (tallk) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:47:31 GMT

The previews said that Kim sets her gold-digging sights on Clint. That sounds promising, but who in the heck is Kim? To find out I sat through a couple of tortured episodes and now I know that Kim is sister-tramp's friend. OK, this could be fun. I have always, always hated Clint so I would love to see him ruined by a fortune-hunting tramp.

However, in order to watch this story I would have to sit through super-hero John McBain, sister-tramp, Gigi, Rex, gay-Dorian, Coal,...

Hey, everybody! What's up?

feeds@yuku.com (JDDistef) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:34:30 GMT

I've been watching, although I'm a few days behind at the moment. While I agree that a lot of stuff is hard to swallow, the worst for me is Starr, Cole, and Hope.

What message are we sending kids? Once you have the baby, life is just dandy. You can go out on dates and the baby is always good and you never have to change plans because the baby is tired or sick or cranky. Give me a break. Teen parents should be going through hell. Starr should be dragged out and exhausted....

Who is going to die?

feeds@yuku.com (JDDistef) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:26:48 GMT

ABC says that one main character from opening credits will die at Mitch Laurence's hands. Who do you think it will be?
If I have forgotten someone, feel free to add them. There isn't enough room for everyone...

Mitch returns next Monday -- What does everyone think?

Pet Peeve

feeds@yuku.com (kaitlinK23) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:41:25 GMT

In the grand scheme of things I know this is minor with the crap going on with the show but SORAS TnT island baby ticks me off. For one they've cleary overstated Todd left teaugh on the island to go back to his KIDS, starr and jack. Well for starters, jack is still being portrayed as a pre-teen, yet it appears who matthew will encounter in this ridiculous london boarding school is his age. Uh, HELLO, jack would be this kid's OLDER brother..Just little crap like this to make stupid...

the death of OLTL

feeds@yuku.com (katralic) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 22:22:17 GMT

After watching OLTL since 1980 I stopped watching about 3 years ago because of the crap. I decided to start watching again to see if its gotten better. Pitiful. The gay storyline is politcal. They act as if 75% of the population is gay. Its a pure political statement. I dont watch this crap to hear more politics. They promote same sex marriage while tearing down every othe relationship on the show. Not to mention the fact that theyve turned every character into a dumb***. rex the great...

Just saying hello

This was and still is my favorite soap board, just nothing happening on the soap, well to me anyway. Goodby Jared, yet hands on hips m c no talent is still there. He will be till the end.....lol which maynot be to far off.

Weather here had dropped into the 40's at night for several days but now warming up again. Just so long as I don't have to have the air on, I don't know about you but here the electric bill has gone up about 50-60 a month....water and sewer...

What happened to Lee Halprin?

feeds@yuku.com (tallk) — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 15:16:16 GMT

The woman who was nursing Marty - was that Lee Halprin? Why was she using a fake name? What happened to her?

Obviously I don't watch much, but I was curious about her.

The destruction of Jarred - OLTL continues to dig its own grave

feeds@yuku.com (tallk) — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 14:43:07 GMT

I read the boards looking for signs that OLTL is a better show, but I am always disappointed.

Jarred was introduced brilliantly by RC; wrongly imprisoned by Tess and looking for revenge. I was immediately intrigued. Too bad they followed that up with the all-too-familiar impersonating a Buc storyline. Despite that, his romance with Natalie was mesmerizing and enjoyable. However, once married RC lost interest in them, even though he was quoted as saying "I love Jarred and...

TV Guide reporting OL cancellation next year

feeds@yuku.com (kaitlinK23) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 11:31:11 GMT

I pulled this from another site but doesn't look good. I have to say yesterday's show was just plain awful. Between the boring gigi/schulyer and Todd/Tea's nuptuials (I mean really WTH was that-TSJ needs his butt canned with how he's acting as todd, he so doesn't give a flip) OL story-telling has been in the crapper for a while. It's sad to say I'm to the point it wouldn't bother me that much even though this is a show I've been watching on/off since I was...

If this is true I may just be finished (RUMOR/SPOILER)

feeds@yuku.com (sdog7) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 18:25:14 GMT

i just read that john brotherton (jared) is out. if it is true, this may be it for me. nat and jared were one of the few things i stilll liked about the show and even though they haven't had much to do lately they are a good pairing and jared made natalie watchable for me again after years of being stuck in that horrific triangle. the only way i would tolerate it is if nat and jared leave town together - maybe join the rest of the family in london or something. but to have nat lose...

At First, I thought this was a practical joke...

but then, I thought that at first when they wrote in a ballroom dance character for Kelly Monaco on GH. I did wait until I found the original article, and now recall some small hints from things I've read on the internet. (mainly scraps from RS's hotline).
Dorian is going to stage a huge, 22 couple gay/lesbian wedding as a stunt in her bid for mayor, including herself marrying a lesbian activist. It's on the TV Guide this week, writeup by Logan (Dorian's Big Gay...

Haven't watched OL in years & haven't checked in here as I haven't seen anything much that would want me to return. Now that may change since I read in 1 of the rag mags that TK will be returning around the first of the year..Just know that will make OTWB happy..lol I didn't care much for him when he was on OL but I must say I have enjoyed him with Kendall on AMC & will hate seeing both of them leave. They are about the only 2 that I care about there, so I may just...
