Spinelli "Milhouse" Oh Ron, you are such a Simpson's fan!! Where was the Tranco art on the walls? Fronkies, wedding dresses, spray paint? That gallery assistant could have been Gigi with that hair.
Maxie isn't going to tell, too soon. LOL. And Olivia interrupts them. Connie and Sonny.
Don't care. Just like I don't care about SONNNIE AND CONNNIE --JUST GET BACK TO THE ALEXIS STUFF!!
Alexis is going to say she doesn't know who Sam's Daddy is. I can feel it.
She was at a local bar-- and drank Tom Collins. Ah, great drink.
Anyway...she conceived Sam in the back seat of the car.
First time. Whoops and she didn't realize she was PG at all.
And ALEXIS didn't even know his name.
I TOLD YOU!
The Ouijia board said "J" so I'm going with a Jerome.
Raise your hand if you had an Ouija board!
OLTL was always the show I watched before GH came on. It grew on me over the years. I do remember being in crush with Brad--and I so wanted to BE Jenny!! Of course, Judith Light was always a revelation. Some of my fave memories below:
Karen on the witness stand. I mean..epic--and if you were fortunate to see it LIVE when it aired? Hell.
Nothing to compare. Nothing.
Tina interrupts Cord's wedding to Kate. Ooooooooooooooo. I SO Remember this like it was yesterday!! I had NO clue it was going to happen and BOOM!! Heart Stopping.
Marty's rape scenes. SO SO Powerful. Totally from the pages of Jody Foster's movie "The Accused" and very timely with frats going wild. I can't tell you how powerful her acting was. The camera didn't shy away from some of the worst parts either. Roger H was masterful-- and chilling.
1988...OLTL revists the Old West. I loved it. Everyone in the cast got into it..and it was grand. Never saw anything like it on soaps before (Or since, really--other than OLTLs fun time travels!!)
This love story. It was PITCH PERFECT in it's build and execution. Slow..steady, a bit Kate Hepburn/Spencer Tracy -ish and just a joy to watch. Their love of eating was also refreshing!!
Vicki, Niki... When it first happened, it hadn't been done to death, so it was very new and really cool to watch. Of Course ES was magnificent in the role.
Nash as a corpse. AHHHHHHHHHHHH scared the hell out of me!! Awesome!! It was really done well.
Kish wedding...epic in so many ways and joyful. I really loved this story and the fact that they got hitched
Karen on the witness stand. I mean..epic--and if you were fortunate to see it LIVE when it aired? Hell.
Nothing to compare. Nothing.
JMAGIC
Cried, cried cried cried...and he didn't come back-- he was gone.
There are more but these are the things that stand out to me. REMEMBER That OLTL will air on OWN today 1pm/est!!
IT's STILL ALIVE!!
IT's STILL ALIVE!!

A week of beat-downs and swabs. Sonny had two women on his hands. Georgie visited. Ups and Downs, ins and outs.
Get your scrubs on, grab them DNA sticks and let's fly.
WAIT...drink it in..don't blink. MORGAN Put. His. Shirt. On! Then Ava gave him money to buy Kiki a compass. Which was an inside joke because "Ava" when she was "Carly" on ATWT got one from her love, Jack.
This kiss led to one of the most cringe-worthy exchanges I've heard on GH in a long time. Brad blackmails Michael and basically wants to go to bed with him. 'Once you go Brad, you never go back". Just No. I'm so glad that Michael blackmailed him back after hearing he and Britt talk. Brad's naughty.
Musings for this week:
Ten seconds of Laura again. I think Scotty was on for 4 seconds. Who knows. So choppy. Nikolas and Britt..oy. Interesting. He'll be her Lamaze coach, you wait.
Heather Webber is always fun. That's all. I also guess it gave another chance for Sam and Silas to be together. I still think it's weird that Danny's not in isolation for his chemo, aren't they afraid of germs and stuff?
I do like Sonny and Olivia but they are playing the story like a hot and heavy thing. They let Sonny languish and not really do much romance wise since the stupid ConKate DID crap. Now, he's "into" Olivia? It would have been better if they flirted for months. Anyway, Lisa LoCicero did a great job when Connie came to the door and she got her defiant tears going.
My Most DISGUSTING thing was the Tranco beat down. I didn't enjoy it, didn't like Sonny drinking water and watching it.. didn't like Shawn's fists flying for minutes on end. Yeah, it's the mob..yes, that's "mob life" but dang, not for me. Not today. I saw enough shootings, bombings and crap on this show without sitting through a full on-scale beat down.
The show has some spectacular scenes, great dialog and really good interest factor--although I still think it's way too bloated. Too many people, too much "story rotation". I feel like I just get interested in something then...it's not on for days. Was Liz on this week at all? I don't think so? Taylor? Just choppy, imo. It's sort of how I feel about the Kate/Liv/Sonny "triangle"...not a lot of build up there. One day Connie hates him, Olivia is passive and the next they are both in love and lust with the man.
SCENE OF THE WEEK: You know it. This was so great. Heartbreaking and special! KS and LL were so good together. I so miss Georgie. Both actresses were just spot-on.
PROP OF THE WEEK: DNA Swabbies!! Open up...and let me get those cells!!
HONORABLE MENTION: Prop of the week, Lucy's necklace. Yes, it had it's own dressing room.
SO, I hope you have a great Sunday. See you next week-- when Sam's daddy story comes out. Alexis gets pretty dang upset telling it.

Yep. Just started watching Orange is the New Back and... I can't STOP the twin thing I'm seeing between Taylor Schilling and Kelly Sullivan.
Freaks ME OUT!! Especially when Taylor is in her prison outfit. Shades of Connie in Jail.

| THIS is Taylor... |
PS. Kate Mulgrew (Ryan's Hope) is also in it and is FANTASTIC!
