Liveblogging "One Life To Live": Will They or Won't They?
"Will they or won't they" ... show up in this episode? We've been hearing conflicting rumors that our guys may make an appearance, so let's cross our fingers. If they don't, well hopefully someone else will fly out a window or one of the hunks will throw us a bone with a towel scene. Join us for the fun and refresh for updates. 2:05PM EST: Amelia comes in and announces that the polls have just closed. Now that's a long day in Llanview. Marcy returns to pay tribute to Dead Baby Chloe, and reminisces with Viki. Brody is shamefully free of his bondage, but on the bright side, Rex is still tied up. McBain and Brody are starting to put the pieces together, and question Scarah Fawcett. Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure they left poor Rex tied up in the bedroom. Todd and Amelia are getting into it. Todd makes some inappropriate comments about wanting to know "who the groom is". Amelia says "you ever watch a movie in a motel?" Todd cackles and says "yeah baby". Amelia says "it's nothing like that". Todd is such a sleaze. 2:15PM EST: Jessica and Jared are being stalked by someone with a shaky cam. Marty and Blair have begun round one of "Tight Sweater Battle '09" . Blair is winning so far (there must be a cold draft by her). 2:20PM EST: The returns are coming in and so far, it's neck and neck between Viki and Dorian. Marcy is fondling the basketball under her skirt. I wasn't watching the show during Marcy's time, but didn't she go bonkers once and kill a bunch of people? GiGi is stumbling around like an actress who has never played drunk before and has no idea what to do. Oh, this is too funny. Mcbain holds up a picture of a man and asks Scarah if she's ever seen him before. He says "he's been known to wear hideous scarves and try to seduce lunkhead college students". That's right, it's ... Forbes March! (who played the much-discussed character Nash). 2:35PM EST: Jack is taking bets on the election. Ha! Dorian is nervous about the outcome, but Amelia calms her down, and they do the official Lesbian High-Five. Rex is splayed out on the bed, and soon Jared is splayed out on the ground thanks to Jessica. They've got a lot of splayin' to do! I'm sorry. 2:45PM EST: Marcy says goodbye to Dead Baby Chloe, and takes her leave. Marko admits to Cole that he didn't vote for Dorian, and lied to Langston about it. Cole says "don't worry, it's not like YOUR ONE VOTE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE". Uh-Oh. Jessica is running around like she's the final girl in a slasher film. Hey, there's a building with a light on up ahead. that'll be safe! 2:50PM EST: Oh,Marcy's back. She's brought a present for Live Baby Hope. Jessica is still running around, and enters a greenhouse where she she sees an obviously fake Nash in a chair with a horrible wig, and says "Nash, is that you?" Oh jeez. Meanwhile, Viki comes across Nash's grave ... which has been robbed! Damn. No Kish. But they'll definitely be here next week, so stay tuned! Submitted by on Fri, 2009-11-06 14:58. |

Today I have lunch between 2pm -3pm ET
oh todd...
boo
I hope the big hullabaloo wasn't about Marcy showing up. I never really liked her.
Although I love that Amelia stood up against that jerk Todd!
Towel scene
Days In Llanview
GiGi
yes but
Our boys
Doesn't look good for an appearance by the boys today. Usually, everyone who appears in an ep is seen by the 10-15 minute mark.
Why can't we have the Kyle and Oliver show, and drop the rest of these stories?
Yes, I agree.
Yes, I agree.
That Wouldn't....
No Show
Ok, we can keep Layla and Cris as well. They are almost as cute as Kish. The rest of them I could do without.
Actually, let's frontburner Kish and Crayla? and let the rest of them be their supporting players.
We MUST have TBTD
Todd is a vicious
OK, no KISH thus far, but
OK, no KISH thus far, but there's a musical theatre reference - Blair saying that Jack is acting like Nathan Detroit from GUYS AND DOLLS. Everyday is gay on OLTL!
And then there's Rex of course...
K this is the first
Time that I've watched an entire episode of OLTL n I have to say its almost as poorly written and acted as ATWT. Is this just a bad episode or is this common place?
OLTL
Depends on the story and who's in it. I've found that the only really good actors are Layla, Cris, Fish, and Kyle.
The rest are either meh! or horrible.
I think part of the problem for some of them is a lack of rehearsal time. I know when I did community theatre you needed rehearsal to fine tune a performance. It appears to me that they don't put much time in rehearsal other than to do blocking and the basics. Add to that far too many stories going on at one time, writing that has to be shorthanded because of the limited time, and you have a recipe for bad acting. They also don't go back and re-film when someones stumbles over their lines, and that is glaring. There is one actor who's terrible at his/her lines, but they are left in day after day. (I won't say who, because I get the impression that he/she is a fan favorite, and I don't want to start a flame war :-)
That being said; some of these "actors" could rehearse for years and not get it right. The horrid line readings, inaccurate motivations and just plain lack of talent is amazing.
But then, that's part of the fun of soaps!
I totally agree with you,
I totally agree with you, but add Erika Slezak and Robin Strasser to the list of good actors on OLTL....Without them there never would have been a OLTL.
But it's true, Scott Evans, Brett Claywell, Tika Sumpter and David Fumero are the actors I want to see most on this show.....
Don't Forget....
Tuc Watkins. And when she's on, HBS is pretty damn fine herself. Of course, my opinion only.
For me, today was good because of the stalker stuff... which went from cheesy to uber creepy in a nanosecond.
I pray that Drunk Gigi never be allowed to pollute my screen again. At first, I was amused... by the end of the ep, I was wanting to throw things at my TV.
Forbes March???/
Too bad they don't have the
Oooo
Marcy
*deep breath*
No,Marcy didn't kill anyone. She,however,DID kidnap baby Sam.(who she and husband Michael named Tommy after they thought that they had legally adopted him)
Sam is Todd's son via rape.(HE was raped a wacko named Margret Cochran)
Todd thought Sam was dead but when he learned M&M had adopted him,he sued for custody,bribed the judge and won. Not wanting to give him back,she took him and ended up in Paris,Texas unaware that Viki was there,as well(long story there)and that's where Gigi,Shane,Moe,Charlie & Noelle came in. Did i miss anything?

Marcy Pt.2
Oh,Good Lord!
How could i have forgotten that stupid storyline? Very easily,i guess. :)

Soaps today
have very little budget left--which means minimal sets and little to no rehersal time, something that would strain even the best actors. Actors that have been on longer do better because they've lived the characters long enough to ad lib and go with the flow.
Soaps have always been a mix though of some truly terrible actors with some truly gifted ones. I've watched long enough to remember when people like Julianne Moore, Meg Ryan and Parker Posey were on.
