Liveblogging "One Life To Live": My guppy daddy

Oliver finds out that Staci is pregnant, and wonders if it could be the result of the night he got tanked and slept with her. Get it? Fish ... tanked?

Anyway ... join us to find out how Staci worms her way out of Fish's grasp. Get it? Wor ... oh, forget it.

Join us for the fun, and refresh for updates!

EDITOR'S NOTE: One of the best things about AfterElton.com has been how respectful our readers are toward each other. Yes, we have heated debates on the site, but it is shockingly rare how little I've had to intervene and warn folks about their behavior. For the most part that is still true, but two issues have come up of late and I feel that I need to address them.

No doubt those of you who follow our As the World Turns and One Life to Live coverage have noticed both shows have passionate fans as well as detractors. Obviously both shows have their pluses and minuses and that can lead to great debates about how each show is handling their gay characters and gay storylines. The problem is that those debates have spilled out of our Gays of Our Lives column, where such debates are appropriate, and into the Liveblogs for each show. And that is starting to ruin the enjoyment for those tuning in for the Liveblogs.

I feel the purpose of the ATWT and OLTL Liveblogs is not just for those at work who can't watch the show to follow along what happened that day, but also a chance for fans to analyze, debate and discuss what happened during the episode. But it is not the place for fans of the show not being liveblogged that day to come in and either promote the show they like better or to bash the show they don't like. That is a hijacking the liveblog from it's intended purpose and starting today, it won't be allowed.

If you go off topic in the comments for the OLTL liveblog and start posting about everything wrong with ATWT, your comment will be deleted and you'll be warned. If you do it again, your account will be temporarily suspended. Obviously this doesn't mean you can't ever mention the other show, but it needs to be in context and not intended to start a debate. You're adults and the vast majority of you understand what is appropriate and what is not.

We will try to read every comment each day, but some liveblogs can generate more than a 100 comments. We are very short staffed, and I ask that if you see a comment you believe violates the rules, please private message myself, Snicks, or Ed and we will take a look.

The second issue pertains to the rating system on the comments. Again, most people use the system as intended to either indicate they especially enjoyed a comment or to indicate their displeasure. Fortunately, most of the time it's used to praise a comment or, when used to give a low rating, used appropriately. But it's come to my attention that some folks are simply rating every post they disagree with zero stars and in the liveblog comments that can mean a lot of zero stars for someone who comments a great deal. And that's not fair to punish someone that way.

Therefore, I've decided to disable the rating system. It's going to take a little time as there is some technical work involved, but starting today I'd appreciate it if folks simply stopped using. Please shoot me a note if you have any questions or thoughts on any of the above.

Thanks and have fun!

2:05PM EST: Blair tells Ross that she told Todd that TBTD is still married to him, and he says that it's just the tip of the iceberg. Blair says "I knew there had to be something bigger she was hiding than just being married to your dumbass!"

Staci angrily dumps her still-twitching burger on the counter and demands that they cook it longer, because she can't eat raw meat, "obviously". The waitress looks confused, and Staci points to her weeks old baby bump, and says "duh, baby on board!" Oliver walks in just in time to hear her declaration.

Todd is angry as hell at TBTD for lying, and sweeps everything off the desk, which brought back horrific memories of Ed at the last AE meeting.

2:15PM EST: Kim has her sights set on Rex, and when she finds out that he and GiGi are going to see a movie called Glass Slipper (which sounds like a particularly horrid chick flick with Sandra Bullock as a 45 year-old Cinderella) , she finagles some tickets and manipulates Sky into going with her.

Staci sits Oliver down (he has the cutest look of anticipation, terror, and shock on his face) and assures him that the baby isn't his. A wave of relief washes over his face, but it's clear that after the initial shock wore off, he'd be able to handle it.

2:25PM EST: This is apropos of nothing, but I like that the show thought enough in advance to have a poster of Toy Story in the "theater" (since it was just re-released last week).

Oh dear, are Staci and Oliver bonding? Olive mentions "missing his shot with the one person he's always wanted" and Staci says "it sucks when that happens".

2:30PM EST: Damn, Todd just broke up with TBTD. He says "you make me sick, I can barely stand to be in the same room with you! I want you out of here!" Paging Blair's stunt double! We need you on the set!

Staci gives Oliver some advice ... "Don't give up on that guy". She seems almost ... human. McBain calls him, and tells him to put his Police Cop cap back on, he needs him in the Jared investigation.

Kim is trying to make Gigi (who's sitting in the opposite row) jealous, and starts crawling all over Sky in the theater. GiGi makes a "Rex Face" and starts causing a scene. Kim is delighted, and while she starts to cut out a hole in the bottom of the popcorn tub for Sky (so she and he can play "find the prize"), Sky jumps up to berate the person making so much noise (which would never happen in real life ... He would so get his ass kicked) and sees that it's GiGi.

2:45PM EST: Oliver shows up and McBain tells him to go back to the station and crack open Jared's laptop. Jared complains, so McBain says "fine, we'll open it up here".

2:50PM EST: Ugh! Kim and Staci are like the Hooter's version of Lucy and Ethel. They're starting their "break up Rex and Gigi" plan.

2:55PM EST: Oliver works his tech magic on the laptop and finds ... incriminating stuff against Jared. Bo looks ready to go Bo-llistic on him.

TBTD pleads with Todd to try and work things out, but he literally shoves her out the door.

McBain arrests Jared, but Natalie believes that he's innocent.

Preview Time: Blair - "AIIIYEEEE" ... splat!
