Liveblogging "One Life To Live": The Big Day, Part Three "Your Chocolate is in my Peanut Butter"
I have to begin by thanking all of you for your well-wishes after my vomitous exit from Monday's Liveblog. I'm feeling better, but I now know what a Tea-esque beeyotch Karma can be. You see, I became violently ill less than an hour after I taunted a girl in swimmies. I've learned my lesson. Fortunately, there was someone waiting in the wings who was ... quite willing ... to take over for me yesterday, so I have to give special thanks to my beloved Eve Harrington ... Um, I mean Ed Kennedy for being so eager to replace me. I won't forget it, Ed. As for today's show, Oliver had his chance to try and talk Kyle out of marrying Nick, and now it's Roxy's turn. I have a feeling Roxy is going to need more than a peanut butter cup to wear Kyle down this time, but even her powers of persuasion may not be enough to convince him to call it off. Speaking of peanut butter cups, maybe it's the remnants of the feverish delusions I had Monday night, but I think a peanut butter cup is the perfect metaphor for Oliver and Kyle. "Two great tastes that taste great together". Actually, my first idea was M&M's, but "melts in your mouth, not in your hand" would be too hard to explain. Anyway, enjoy the show, and refresh for updates! 2:05PM EST: And we start with DVTM in just a towel. Suddenly I'm feeling better. Um ... are they giving GiGi a different hairstyle every day? I love her new one ... it's very Expose circa "Come Go With Me". Oh jeez ... Tuc Watkins. That's all I can say. Is it just me, or is Dorian asking for some Birkenstocks for her wedding? 2:10PM EST: Viki and Dorian are arguing over the wedding as DVTM is still standing around in a towel ... eating an apple. Meanwhile, Jessica is freaking out because the phantom caller may be ... a phantom! Apparently, the voice match proved that it is Nash's voice. She calls Brody, who promises to get back as soon as he can, but his day player sister protests. Kyle and Nick are talking about the wedding when Amelia buts in and says "I wish I was part of a real couple". Oh, Boo-hoo. How does your real, as yet-unseen partner feel about all of this? Nick reminds her that her wedding to Dorian is what everyone is going to be talking about. 2:25PM EST: Okay, this habit GiGi and Rex have of calling each other by their last names is kind of ... nauseating. Please stop. Uh-Oh! Amelia and Nick are keeping secrets from Kyle. He wants to know what's in store with the "plan" after the wedding, but Nick basically says "don't you worry your pretty little head. Just look good and do what you're told". After Kyle leaves, Amelia sinisterly says "obviously, you haven't told him everything?" Outside the door, Kyle runs into Roxy, and tells her "it's the big day". Roxy says "you're telling me.! I got more appointments coming out of my ying-yang. It is crazier this week than the wax-a-thon before gay pride week!. Are you okay?" Kyle says he has jitters, and invites Roxy to the wedding, saying he needs to see a friendly face in the crowd. Roxy refuses, prompting Kyle to ask "I thought you supported gay marriage rights?" Roxy responds "Oh I do, totally. But I don't support marriage to the wrong man. That's a crime". Zing! 2:45PM EST: Okay, what is the deal with Brody's sister? I called her a day player, but she's acting like she wants to stick around. Brody calls Jess and tells her he's coming home in the morning, and sis breaks a pencil in two. I don't think day players are allowed to do that. DVTM tries to convince Dorian to drop out of the wedding, and she says "i can't disappoint my public", to which he responds ... oh dear ... "what about your privates? I mean the people who care for you most?". Oh, David. Amelia says "if he chooses to ...", but Nick interrupts her and says "let me cross that bridge when we get there". Hmm ... Amelia says "it's time for me to put Phase 3 of the plan into motion". Jeez, what is this, Plan 9 from Outer Gays? 2:50PM EST: Kyle tells Roxy that he and Oliver are just never going to happen, and she says "are you trying to convince you or me". I think she probably meant to say "me or you". But with Roxy, who knows? Oh dear ... I guess Sis isn't a day player after all. She just spiked Brody's coffee. I've had the same fantasy .. but I would never actually do it. DVTM's wall of beef has no effect on Amelia, and he takes his leave. Amelia tells Dorian "you know, this wedding doesn't have to be ... symbolic". Whaaaa? Nick asks Kyle if he's nervous, and Kyle says yes. Nick kisses him on the head and tells him not to worry. Sky, Shane and GiGi are dressed up as Batman, Robin and Catwoman. That's just the beginning of the Halloween goodies we'll be seeing the rest of the week. Preview Time: We'll be here tomorrow and Friday! Submitted by on Wed, 2009-10-28 14:05. |

Glad You're Back!
Ha!
Glad you're feeling better
I'm home from work this week with the flu; had my fun little experience with throwing up Sunday night. Ugh.
But I'm making the most of the week off: watching OLTL live, catching up on DVDs I've been wanting to see (Dante's Cove season 1, The Best Way to Walk, A Thousand Clouds of Peace) and reading Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray.
You get Five Wilde Stars
from me for reading a book with WORDS in it! But to mix it with that guilty pleasure, Dante's Cove...! -like an Ex-Lax Martini.
There is an excellent movie version with Stephen Fry as Wilde, and amazingly Jude Law as his love interest. And if that were not enough, you get Orlando Bloom and Ioan Griffud's film debut and Michael Sheen before he became Prime Minister.

So, I'm a bit confused. Kyle called off the wedding to Nick, correct? But he hasn't informed Oliver of that fact (intentionally). So, Roxy is not really going to try to talk Kyle out of marrying Nick, but into dating Oliver instead, right? Just want to make sure I'm not lost here...
I thought
Right.
Ah, okay
Snicks
Glad you're feeling better. And it wasn't karma. A grown woman wearing swimmies is pathetic, especially since they wouldn't be in more than 4 feet of water. How hard is it to stand up?
Anyway, is it wrong that I get soooo excited about these liveblogs? They're almost better than the show itself.
Stuck on the Left Blog Coast
I'd love to get excited about the OLTL blog (or anything at all!) but I'm coastally challenged and suffer from blog lag. I still read it all, though.
BTW- how do shows like American Idol know I'm calling an hour ahead to vote for whomever? How does Runway know what I voted when they've announced the winner?

lmao, maybe the....
Snicks, I'm glad to hear that you're doing better.
I love Kyle's conversation with Roxy...I love their dynamic.
TBTD vs Snicks: Vomit Smackdown!
Wow! Who knew Tea Delgado could love Todd, hate Blair, fake like she really was dupping Todd with Ross in a scheme to take all his money, break a vase over Ross' head, have an overseas phone conversation with her daughter, keep Ross for talking to his daughter, keep hiding that her daughter is really Todd's from both Ross and Todd, AND make Snicks suffer almost instantaneously from a vomitous flu virus all in one day!!!! Amazing! She is living up to the TBTD name all right and I love her... except for poor Snicks Linda Blair moment...
I am wondering where the Dorian/Ameilia affection is going to come in. How are lesbians actually reacting to this storyline I wonder?
Snicks, from now on always keep a bowl nearby, you never know when she will strike next!

Sadly
Given that a lack of intimacy has been a hallmark of lesbian storylines in daytime, this is par for the course.

addison, i don't think i ever congratulated you
addison, i don't think i ever congratulated you on getting married. i'm sorry.
CONGRATS! lmao, i am sure you're like "whatever bitch"
anyways, my reaction to the dorian/amelia thing is pretty much nothing. i think it's just silly. it's not some real romance, so i just can't get into it. eh
Congrats accepted warmly!
Liz -
Any Congrats is always welcome and warmly received. ;-) My husband and I (weird to hear huh??? but I AM using it from now on!) were talking with many of our gay friends and we were mentioning how we as a community are framing our marriage certificates while str8s are usually putting them in a safe or important document box. This OLTL storyline, although lame in a way is good because it is forcing an argument to be heard even if in a fantasy world setting.
But thanks!

holy crap addison...
you and I are practically neighbors. didn't know you lived in Maryland.
Where exactly and how exactly did you get married? i don't think MD has marriage equality (the term 'gay marriage' drives me insane)
oh nevermind. i guess you had a civil union...?
The how and the where.
We snuck off to Connecticut and got legally married in Sept. We had a big wedding in Non-legal Delaware in October, where we later spilled the beans about the legal marriage in CT a couple weeks ago.
My husband and I live near Baltimore.

Please don't tell me
Oh!
who Amelia and Nick?
I can't stop!
Aime-mois moins, mais aime-moi longtemps
That day player sister of Brody's
Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!
Are they trying to make Amelia and Nick unlikable?
It seems like they might be trying to make it so that anyone rooting for Nick and Kyle ends up disliking him and actually trying to garner sympathy for Dorian so that she doesn't look like such a villian for playing with gay marriage.
not really...
and what about...
well... that depends.
what truth are you talking about? the truth that he still loves oliver? deary, he doesn't even believe it himself. he is not being true to himself. so how can he be truthful to nick? that doesn't count. there is no intention to deceive nick. he doesn't manipulate nick to get back at oliver. he even rejected oliver twice!!!!
or are you talking about the truth about his true feelings about the whole marriage? well - for one - he was not the one who proposed to nick. he was even very reluctant. but because nick brought the ex-lover card kylegot all defensive - nick knows how to push kyle's buttons! and that proposal!!!! who the hell could say no to that?!?!?! but it wasn't kyle who concocted all of this. if he is being manipulative or being untrue then he wouldn't even have second thoughts about the wedding. he would even flaunt it to oliver and arrange the wedding himself!
but this secret that nick has... (MINOR SPOILER!) would change all things... and by not telling kyle this important issue about the marriage is absolutely wrong and manipulative.
this is fun natalie! i hope you don't feel that i am fighting you or anything! it is fun to discuss this wonderful soap show and take sides on this triangle and act as if they are real people... that is the power of this beautiful television show... it may not be perfect... but obviously people are being moved by the storyline and by the wonderful characters and award worthy actors. ONE LIFE TO LIVE ROCKS!
anyway i don't get it...
you said Kyle doesn't believe it himself? but he said it already,isn't he? he openly said to Oliver that he loves him and still care about him,after that i just can't believe that he doesn't know that he loves Oliver by himself,he just hiding it,there is a difference. And if you remeber Nick asked Kyle many many times about his feelings toward Oliver,right? and what Kyle kept telling him? he told 'Im over with Oliver,you're my guy and you're the one i want to be with' he made sure Nick that he really into him, Nick wanted Kyle to be honest with him,he even got him a chance to step back of weeding,but Kyle didn't.
and don't worry i feel very comfortable to discuss such a things,i love that show a lot as well ,and i love those talks battles ,hehe!
Why?
Back in the day, when I couldn't land the Love of My Life for that week, oe day, I'd just go out and get another guy. Lots of times I'd have sex with men I'd never sit through dinner with. Friends were made after sex. I suggest to Oliver a round of meaningless sex (he might learn something) and I'll be glad to initiate it!
Aime-mois moins, mais aime-moi longtemps
I'd describe Nick as
"Plan 9 from Outer Gays"
Brody...
OMG!
I was going to make a comment about that haha but then I thought people would think I have a "dirty little head" like Roxy!
As soon as he fell my eyes fixated to that spot...I swear I saw a jiggle.
Heh...
yay!! snicks
good to see that your much better now. im loving gigi's new hair style, its so hers. tuc watkins..wow!!!! what can i say.....honestly nick and amelia there are just bad vibes with them. brody's sister looks like she came back from the 70s she just has that look.
Nadine
brody's sister looks like she came back from the 70s she just has that look.
Maybe it is the Farah Faucett hairdo.
I can't help but...
Who hates Nick?
I haven't seen anyone here saying they hate Nick. I personally like him a lot, but I am still rooting for Oliver, because I think he and Kyle were meant to be. I feel badly for Nick, because I know he is going to get his heart broken. Also, I don't think Kyle is using Nick to hurt Oliver. I think Kyle very much WANTS to love Nick, but deep down he just doesn't. Kyle looks at Nick and sees a sexy, smart, out and proud man, which is what Kyle wants after having chased a guy who was in the closet for so long. But just because Nick is a great guy with a lot to offer doesn't mean Kyle can love him. The heart what the heart wants!

Hating Nick
Although there have been some (but not a lot of) negative comments about Nick here, a perusal of other forums indicates a massive amount of Nick hate. And it just comes down to rabid Kish fans wanting Kyle and Fish together NOW...which, of course, is not how soap operas work.
I don't hate Nick, but I'll admit that I don't care for him very much, because I don't think the writers have really developed Nick the way they should have. At least one or two episodes of Nick and Kyle spending time together, on a date, could've given the audience a stronger attachment to the character and thus be more divided over whether Kyle should continue with Nick (even though his heart still belongs to Fish) or dump Nick in favor of Fish (thus breaking Nick's heart).
i hate nick.
But hate is such a strong word… and I do not hate the actor or the story or even the fictitious man himself. I am soooo into the storyline (obviously!) that i can’t help but to chose a side.
But I have to admit Mr. Joseph is right. Maybe I would have more feelings for Nick (or more torn apart by the triangle) if he was fleshed out a wee bit more. But because the show really focused on oliver I cannot help but root for my handsome bear cub. I mean – after all he has been thorugh?!? come on! I would want more that just a hug from kyle!
but it is very fine by me if they drag this triangle a few weeks more though. as much as i don't like nick (as a person for kyle and not the character himself), i love how he is treated in the storyline. he is a worthy adversary and a realistic character played wonderfully by a great actor.
but in terms of nick as a gay character - I LOVE HIM... he IS very manipulative but because HE LOVES KYLE. he may seem needy that's but i like him more than other barely there gay caricatures of other television shows! even if he was not fleshed out more in the show he is still a beautiful character.
I would never thought...
that i could agree with your comment with such a title,haha!
you actully telling us here why and how much you LOVE NICK and almost excuse Nick for everything.
:D
Not hating Nick?
that i could agree with your comment with such a title,haha!
you actully telling us here why and how much you LOVE NICK and almost excuse Nick for everything.
:D
In my case it's a little weird because I kept saying from the very beginning that I didn't like Nick, but it was actually for very very shallow reasons - namely that there was (is) something bugging me about Nicholas Rodriguez' face (his eyes creep me out at times and he does a very weird thing with his mouth some time... hm..), but I am liking Nick more and more and whoever said Nicholas Rodriguez' can't act (yes, I've read it somewhere) is wrong! Having said that, I want Oliver and Kyle together so much! But I wouldn't have minded that they'd drag the triangle on a little longer.
I hate the idea of this mass wedding thing though! Not the same-sex wedding idea! Just the mass wedding thing. It's ehm.. it's ridiculuous. I believe they have a point in doing it, but I just can't take it seriously. It feels .. argh I don't know. I just picture mass weddings I've seen pictures of on TV or so and I don't know how anyone being married in a mass wedding can feel romantic about a day like that! And that coming from me, who is not a romantic (I keep telling myself) and not into weddings at all (straight or gay)!
Anyway, I'm a KISH shipper 100%, but I don't mind Nick. But that's because I know Kyle will end up with Oliver. Had they kept that a secret (who Kyle will choose), I would have been a bit more suspicious of Nick, to say the least.--------------------------------
Would somebody hug OLIVER, already!?
I just wonder..
what the writers going to do with Nick's characters after Kyle will leave him for Oliver, as Anthony said he is not gong anyway,i really hope he still will be relate with Kyle and Oliver storyline.
and i can't wait for Kyle an Oliver reunion as well! it's gonna be something....!
