Outside Views

I am LOVING the outside shots they are
using lately. It's great when shows get outside the studio now and again.

Summer in Llanview

Well--I haven't written much lately, but that doesn't mean alot hasn't happened!

I do like having Tea back in the mix of things. What I don't like is Todd walking around as if he's the greatest man in the world reminding Blair and Tea of how they claimed he was the love of their life. He's so smug, it annoys the heck out of me. It's amazing how Blair keeps going back to him despite their history together...she doesn't do anything for her self-esteem by going back to that man over and over again.

The storyline with Kyle and Fish is interesting--but again no surprises here. Poor Layla just can't seem to keep a boyfriend, and the one she has is gay but she doesn't know that yet. I like the character of Kyle and think he has alot of demons that could be played out. Why he wants to be a doctor, the relationship with his now dead sister, his times at Llanview U, where his family is...so much story.

I enjoy watching Kristen as Starr. She's so believable and natural in that role. Langston is a good as well, but that girl needs to eat something. She is so skinny you can barely see her from the side--it's not attractive at all. Poor Markko's Dad is so old-school he can't allow his 18 year old son to have a relationship with a girl and kicked him out of the house. I don't find that believable--but then again....niether is Stacy getting pregant from one time with Rex.

I hate watching vapid Stacy. There is nothing I like about her character at all.

I do enjoy watching Matthew and Destiny and Shaun and Rachel or Shaun with anyone. He's fun to watch. I am still waiting for more Vicki on air and whereas Ericka usually takes August off for her usual vacation---let's hope we see her before she goes!

I hope Robin Strasser DOESN'T resigns----it wouldn't be OLTL with out her!!

Same old Story

I am so tired of Todd's actions. It's such a cycle with him and how he says he does everything for his children and yet he never talks with them to see how they are feeling. He only ever talks at them--especially Starr. In the real world--Todd would have a restraining order against him for everything he has done to his daughter. He pushed her down the stairs, was going to kidnap her daughter, has made several death threats to her boyfriend. When this occurs so many times--it makes me want to just throw up my hands and say-- "AGAIN??". There are so many new stories to tell and the writers just don't see it.



Wouldn't it be great if Todd actually did make a concerted effort to change. We would all be waiting for the moment when we think he has something up his sleeve. It's just the same old, same old. I like Tea thrown into the mix ---Trevor and Florencia have wonderful chemistry together. Todd just nevers learns from his mistakes and he has no feelings or emotions.



I like the Nora/Bo/Clint angle. I just wish Bo and Nora would hurry up and get back together already. Clint has always seemed like the 3rd wheel and he seems awkward with Nora no matter what. It's just not a good idea to date her brother's ex--no matter how it came to be.



Matthew will walk again---of this I am sure. I like him and think he will have some great stories coming up.



How creepy was it that Roxy just so happens to be taking the blood out of the fridge when that nurse walked in. Please---that would never happen. Who is Rex's father?



It was nice to see Natalie (ahem..in her enhanced new look---was that just a great push-up bra and a good fit of a dress??), and Jared. They have become dull.



I was kinda hoping for a goodbye scene with Marcie and Starr---that never happened and I think it would have been nice to see Marcie explain to Starr what her future held.



Too bad Destiny got fired from the Country Club. I was bored of seeing some young rich kids being rude to the staff there anyway. It's been done. Have we forgotten Starr and Brittney a few summers again--same story different characters.



I hope Vicki has a story for the summer. Fingers crossed!!!

Got behind again!

So I got behind in my viewing in then while I was trying to get caught up I never had time to post. Wow--times flies!!

Alot has happened in Llanview lately and I love how I have been anxiously awaiting each episode. It's been awhile since that has happened. I really thought Marcie was going to move away with Hope and I thought was would be sad. I knew Marcie and Michael were leaving the show and I was eager to see how. The episode that ended with them finding out Marcie was pregnant was great! Loved the music and the kids choir singing in the background--very touching!

So glad Hope is now with Starr. It will be interesting to see how Cole manages that with his prison sentence looming.

I must state firmly and emphatically that the continuuity department has been asleep on the job lately. I don't even know where to begin. The scene where Dorian crushed the glass at Marco's graduation party ended on one day and when it picked up the next day---it was different. How she broke the glas, where Langston was standing, people's reactions---it was all different.

Also--how great that Blair can wear a summer backless dress and somehow none of her scars from her life threatening stabbing show. Fantastic doctors. Shane's hair grew back too quick as well---not realistic for a minute.

I like Destiny and Matthew together, I just wish the actress would loosen up a bit and not sound so forced when she speaks.

TUesday, May 19, 2009--"Power Failure"

I wish the actress who originally played Rebecca could have come back for these scenes on OLTL. She was on 24 for awhile and then moved over to Lost.

Great acting from Marty today!

What will Jess do when she finds out her baby is dead?

Starr looks so grownup!! I love the fact that Mary finally gets her memory back--it's about time!

I got behind in my viewing!

Ok--haven't written in awhile, but I am now caught up in my viewing and will write more this week. The continuity dept at OLTL needs help big time. Did anyone else notice how last week Dorian had her hair up in one scene and then when she went to answer the front door it was down. When she went upstairs to talk to Starr it was up again. Later, when she went back upstairs her hair was down and she changed her clothes!!!!
